The Swans not letting club champ Parker go to his preferred destination is petty. he busted his gut for almost 300 games

 

When does it end?

If anyone needs further convincing that the AFL is an entertainment business, this trade period garbage is it.

A bunch of deals for ageing or fringe players and they are acting like this will change the world

The AFL is misguided if they think that extending the cut-off time to 7.30 is great tv. Watching officials sitting around is not gripping viewing.

Timmy Lamb not sitting around, his frugal draft strategy has always centred around nabbing a 2hr street park on the final day and avoiding an all day spot under the stadium 


Andrew Mackie is the new Dedoro. I understand that Smith is out of contract but when you lure a player over the course of 18 months and have them commit to your club, it is incumbent on them to work the deal. Yes you want to get the best deal possible for your club, but the visible lack of effort to deal other assets, be it players, current year picks or future picks is embarrassing.

Personally I'm proud that the Dees are creative and look at getting their deals completed early. Sometimes we pay overs, other times we get a break because we're easy to deal with. Swings and roundabouts and I know which side of the coin I'd like to be associated with.

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

  • PREVIEW: Geelong

    "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
