Glad we are linked with Cumming. He'll slot in our back 22 nicely and free up Rivers to move to the midfield permanently.

I like the idea of Housten but can't see Port letting him go and would be expensive to trade for. Perhaps further expansion of trading 2 years in advance will allow us to go for him?

    If Rory Lobb or Jake Stringer step foot at our club, I will throw up faster than Gawn can say Scully.

    Absolutely categorically hell to the no.

    Given the Hunter experience, I think we'll steer clear of any other troubled former Bulldogs. 😉

    If he is disgruntled and requests a trade, it will make it easier to trade with. They will no doubt ask for the world and cite his AA credentials. Reality is, form this year is so-so and he will not likely make the AA and finish in the lower end of top 10 B&F. 

    Question is would you be willing to give up a F1 for him and would Port accept it. I wouldn't hand over this year's first unless we finish top 4-6.  Anything outside the 8 im taking to the draft.

    I have high hopes with Verrall. He has shown some good development this year. As a ruckman he has good athletic ability but needs to build his endurance capabilities 

    I really like him too.   But saying that I think he is a bit short to become a top of the line ruckman.   He could easily become a future CHB, especially as our key defenders are nearing the end of their careers.

    Petty and a decent pick for Thilthorpe? Am I dreaming?

    Yeah, can’t see the Crows doing that deal. Thilthorpe looks like he’s ready to take off.

    Yeah, i am of the view we should have traded him late last year for the outrageous offer from the Crom. Goody was determined to try him as a forward though and now his value is a fraction of what it was then

    Not considering how awful is the Crows defence. Someone like Petty would immediately improve it. Sure, we may not get two first round picks but you can still demand one.

    With Nick Murray potentially doing his ACL last night then I have no doubt Crows will come harder again at the end of the year.

    there was no 'outrageous offer' and what they did offer came too late for us to engineer a trade for a different key forward

    we need petty to stay and play as it's the most talented tall we have in that 22-27 year old age bracket

    Which end of the ground does Petty want to play at? Forward or back? Because if we see him as a forward and the Crows see him as a back, that may have a say in things.

    I think he'll move back next year whoever he plays for and JVR, Turner and Jefferson will be our KPFs.

    So with Billings playing ahead of Laurie (not quite like for like) - I am assuming that the MFC doesn't see a future for Laurie?

    It means they feel billings is better suited for their plans this week than Laurie. Laurie is contracted for 2 more years so they must see some type of future for him, even if it is as a 25th/26th man

    Jack Macrae sub again tonight. Out of favour and can be a ball magnet. Would add to our midfield depth. Turns 30 in a few weeks though.

    Cumming could be a possibility - even better with Callaghan or Ash. 
     

    Huston has been found wanting for pace - better to go for Bergman. 
     

    Hobbs and Parish should be gettable. Maybe even Judith Durham? 
    Nobody wants to stay around the stench coming from that place. 
     

    WA players returning could be prioritised - they should know by now that the shocking surface at Opium Stadium is only going to damage their careers.

    Petty turns 25 next year, May turns 33. For many he’s a must keep, the club is normally pro active in the re signing of players. Considering the push from Adelaide surely we’ve offered him a revised contract which overrides his current one which runs out next season.

    I'm happy to leave this one for North so they can drastically overpay for him on a four year deal.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
