True, but no way would May have gone off. Harmes offered but was not allowed. Was a selfless act by Harmsey.

And I consider as Team first was our mantra Harmesy should not have been the only one offering to be selfless. May stepping forward would have been ticked off

In what world is Battle worth a million a year?

If I was Frost I'd be worried.  Sicily, Barrass and Battle

Plus Scrimshaw, Grainger-Barras and Blanck

If we rate any of the last 3 we should target them, no way they can get a game

Thanks Dubdee.  Agree that hawks will be stretched to fit all their defence in.  Jai Serong also had a standout 2024 in the VFL for box hill hawks.

get jai in 2024, then target caleb in 2025?

it's high time we get another quality player out of flagmantle - white, langdon... add serong we'd be ahead of the ledger (i'm ignoring chisholm and balic) with farmer and jackson the big names who've gone the other way?

in some respected i'd prefer andy brayshaw to caleb serong, but they'd both be key to our midfield, as would hayden young be

Pick 3 for baker?

No way, they'll want p 3 for baker and p10 or something to that effect I'm sure

Probably to split and get Baker and keep a good pick.

Turn pick 3 into Baker and Allan perhaps, not a bad deal for them.

A lot of good/interesting points in that article.

Dare I say that life is all about the "brand" these days

I’m told the Bailey Smith to Geelong is done and he’s even been told he’ll get Number 2.

kornes is such a numpty

teams want to deal with each other as they have to EVERY YEAR for the rest of the afl's existence

it's not like there's more teams that they can trade with outside the league

look at how bad the reputation has been for the peptides to deal with for over 20 years; you don't want to have even the perception that you're hard to deal with as it stains you for players, managers, other clubs, and - ultimately - the medja

he's such a stephen a smith wannabe


Just now, goodwindees said:

Sam Wicks from Swans to Gold Coast will probably happen. 

further proof that the nga and zone selections helps them retain local players eh...

Bailey Smith has formally requested to be traded from the Bulldogs, to the great surprise of nobody at all.

I'd be most surprised if he's not playing for Geelong next year.

Geelong don’t have a good pick to give up, so this could get interesting. He was pick 7 in ‘18, so Dogs are going to want something similar.

What reasons does Bailey Smith want out for?

Dogs don't have enough TikTok followers

He wants his ripped Abs to be seen by as many as possible

I thought scrimshaw was very good against the puppy dogs

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
