It's crazy we gifted both Grundy and Jordon to a premiership contender. Not very strategic.

Strategy had nothing to do with it. Sydney finished eighth last season. How could anyone have known they’d be a premiership contender?

Hashtag hindsight etc.

    I've been waiting 100 years for Geelong to be bad again. They are just like:

    - The [censored] that won't flush

    - A cockroach 

    - A thorn in the side

    - Anything else that has been posted here a million times.

    … a disposable nappy. Those things take hundreds of years to break down.

    Carlton v Essendon is  impossible re. a good result.

    Either side winning is enough to make you vomit even a draw gets each team 2 points which is just as bad.

    Both were best 22, don’t be ridiculous 

    mr sub Jordon? played plenty of games but was around player 22-25 in the squad

    Grundy clearly not best 22. was available during finals didn’t get picked for the last couple of months

    They both wanted to go, one as an unrestricted free agent.

    Few other options from the club I would have thought.

    It was just madness. I will never understand it, we had some bargaining power, particularly with Gus involved….

    The real story will come out one day…

    Like when the Pies gave him to us for virtually nothing? it’s cap space and having no negotiation power for a player playing at Casey

    Pies got bugger all for Treloar too

    both with 5 years left on their contracts.

    madness indeed

    Nah I want essendon to lose. They have west coast next week. Any losses they have is good and I don't want them going further ahead on the ladder

    it’s hilarious isn’t it? people just don’t get footy. Grundy would still be playing at Casey this year if he was with us

    he missed a snap from 5m out today unchallenged. he is not a forward at all

    We needed to get off the hook and we did so, I don't see why we would have had much if any leverage.

    I don't want the Cats to win, given it's our best chance at making top 4 for them to lose, however this shows me how ridiculous the AFL fixturing is. Swans have had two byes already and the Cats haven't had any. The Swans look so fresh and the Cats are cooked and just hanging in there.

    The AFL are a joke the way they run the fixture.

    The AFL put the fix into fixture.

    If Grundy had played against Carlton in the semi last year we would have won that game. And we would have gone on to win the flag. We all know this.

    Wow I've triggered a lot of people here with my Grundy and Jordon talk.

    Anyway, here's to Billings and Fullarton!

    I think if Gus had retired straight away we would’ve offered Jordon more money, so that was unlucky.

    the grundy one was the right move as it gave us more cap once we realised it didn’t work. Doesn’t help this year but will help over the next 5

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
