Give me a spell..

There are far too many AFL “journalists”

[ElDiablo14 4,990]

Just when you think these so called Journalists can't be more pathetic.... 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[Wells 11 5,351]

I think the dees have renewed their interest in Butters. But..no...there's no headline in that is there. [censored]. . 

[Lexinator 1,651]

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.

But I thought Kane Cornes said he was no good…

Trade period on the way. just more grist for the mill for the AFL media so best ignored

[Roost it far 8,069]

This is nuts. I come here so as to ignore the media but they just keep dragging me back in.

This is more accurate these days.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,655]

A club or 2 raises interest in an opposition player that is good.

Cutting edge journalism...

[The_Wrecker_45 96]

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.

[Fat Tony 5,203]

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

I don't think this is outrageous or unbelievable as it stands. I rate Sam Edmund as one of the best media operators in that he doesn't tend to sensationalise and he generally gets pretty good mail.

As he states, there's no indication Kozzy wants to move - I think just given the recent media scrutiny and the interest we have in Dan Houston, those clubs have posed the question. Fair enough. If I barracked for them I would be hoping they were asking the question of extremely talented young players in the same scenario.

I keep going back to the Petty example from last year - If we didn't facilitate a trade for him, while his value was inflated, and held him to his contract; I don't see any world where Kozzy or Petracca are given a trade even if they happened to request one. We managed to then re-sign Petty after holding him, so I don't think we need to panic about any of this at this stage.

Tomorrows the headline will be Max Gawn Could Potentially Consider Answering Phone if Rival Was to Call Just Days After Inking New Contract

[PaulRB 6,320]

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.

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

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.

[tiers 2,822]

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.

 

[Ted Lasso 19,132]

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

[Redjacket 751]

Dees need to change their strategy and start targeting in contract opposition stars and throwing cash at them.

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?
