Umm, this is a regular occurrence across the AFL industry. Just because it's the 'narrative' of the club at the moment doesn't mean there needs to be an another article on it. 'Journalism' stooping to a new low.

Makes sense.. Kane has been talking down his value for weeks and now the fanboys club is flagging interest. Good to see as a Port advocate he is well aligned with their strategy! 

Koz is 100% off the trade table. He is exactly what we need with some more dynamic kids to be added this year.

I'm going to reach out to Sydney Sweeney's agent to let them know of my interest in her.

Not sure you have the trade value to offer. Gonna have to wait for free agency.

The Neal-Bullen situation probably opened this up.  If we are willing to let one contracted player return home for family reasons why wouldn't clubs try and push for another to do the same.

I don't think so. If ANB was of the same quality as Kozzie, we would hold him to his contract, and make arrangements to satisfy his family issues in SA.

Just publish a list of every teams "wishlist".

Most would start with our list, but they can't have them. Tell them all to go and get >>>>>.

And yes, there are far too many so called footy journos. What a waste of electrons and paper.

They will every year, get used to it. Jeepers Dees fans are really not used to having good players.

It's not just that Ted - it's the fact that it's 2024 and not 2004 or even 1984 where players were loyal to their club ie Chris Grant...effectively no matter what.

But even the best player of all time (IMO) Garry Ablett Snr and his son changed clubs.

Even Barassi, and even Jakovich

Now I don't think a player has to be loyal to their club no matter what at all - > but player movement is now a very accepted practice within the industry and supporter bases have yet to catch up emotionally. And that makes sense as well.

So it's open season for the media to talk about our players under contract?

Not only under contract, long term contracts.

Can they go away and talk about other similar players from opposition clubs? 

Do you see all these drivle about any other club?

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
