Why would Luke Parker want to go to nth?

Does he want September off? Or does he feel he can help the younger players at nth and wants a change.

    Geelong could re-sign Parfitt as a DFA and the media would pump it up like it's a stroke of genius.

    Geelong allegedly pursuing all of Martin, Bailey Smith, and Oliver is starting to look like a whole lot of under-the-table deals and a 'make sure he loses it in this casino' vibe.

    Meanwhile, Bulldogs Best and Fairest had an interesting quirk that not a single player from their forward line made the top ten. Ugle-Hagan, Naughton, Weightman and Darcy all missed. That's a lot of salary cap consumed for what the club itself is saying is not much return.

    Martin will be on SFA

    Tuohy, Hawkins, Parfitt and their other delistings may have cleared up significant salary for next year. They also have a lot of other older players who will be coming off their deals and possibly retiring in the coming years.

    Deals can be structured to support the club, Smith and Oliver may have theirs front ended or back ended so the club can fit them in.

    Clubs can also just pay you more when they have a surplus at the end of the year. Say 5 players have a $100k performance bonus for making the All-Australian team but none of them make it. That's $500k the club could give to a player that year, and take it off a latter year of their contract. All legal and stuff clubs do.

    Fiorini attempting to find a new home on a multi-yr deal, with one year left on Suns deal.

    We’re the obvious ones to bite given lack of midfield depth but I’m not a huge fan, he is just really inconsistent. Billings kind of sitting in the role he would play anyway as that midfielder-come hff

    Is that like MDMA?

    But yes, you are right - I see Martin as being more in the 'lose it in this casino' side of the comment.

    Bailey and Oliver, though... that's big money.

    John Noble is being massively overrated this trade period. Wasn’t in there best 22 12 months ago yet all of a sudden the pies want more for him than what we want for Nibbler

    Agree. Pies want a 2nd and 3rd round pick in 20s and 40s. Why? He wasn’t best 22.  
     

    Dees apparently getting pick “28” for Nibbler.  Will likely be pick 33 once the father son and academy picks get done (Ashcroft, Lombard, Ben Camporeale, Marshall, Kako all should be nominated in before pick 18!!) and the Nibbler finished 3rd in MFC B&F . Dees getting screwed but have little to argue with as we have agreed to let him go.

    And they'll get it because they are good negotiators, demand a ridiculous amount, don't roll over and end up getting less than they asked for but more than it's worth.

    But hey, they don’t get as many ‘nice guy points’ as we do, right?
     

    Where can we redeem those nice guy points by the way?

    They want GC's 1st 13. They'll have to include their F1 to get it.

    They likely offer something like F1 + Noble for 13 + 29

    Whether GC bites is another question, they have a lot of options for 13.

    Nice try by Pies but would GC get enough points for Lombard if they entertained that?

    They've got 23, 41 and 49 so probably.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
