    Great to see Bedford & Hogan kicking goals! Had a chance to take Hogan back & keep Bedford…

    got ben brown and a premiership instead

    we prioritised chandler over bedford, and the former is probably winning our best and fairest at this point in time, and getting better and better all the time

    Who honestly thinks Reid will stay put.

    all indications suggest otherwise

    the big q is who is going to offer him the juiciest deal and give meth coke what they need to prise him free

    we're been in this position before, where a prince who was promised was selected at #1 and never truly looked committed to the cause

    ain't fun

    bedford and jj both left for more opportunity; chandler and sparrow were both ahead of them at the time, and chandler is still a superior player to bedford

    we got second round picks for both, from memory, which enabled us to trade 'up' to get the likes of tholstrup etc.

    they had contract offers with us but took the chance to go north to get more game time; it's worked in their favour, just as langdon leaving flagmantle for us worked in his and ours

    swings, roundabouts

    jj being able to leave as a free agent was galling and only possible as a result of the stupid afl's stupid rule changes (that have since been rescinded, i think) for delisted free agents, where the only reason we 'delisted' jj was because in those days you had to take a mandatory # of picks in the draft, but could 'retain' that player as a dfa on your own list

    seriously one of the dumbest rule changes ever, that cooked us just like the change to nga selections hurt us (and the aints) after jamara went #1, which has since been rolled back, and everyone had a hissy fit about academy selections

    be interesting to see if as much 'tunneling' attention is given to what toby greene just did to matt owies as has been given to bayley fritsch doing similar to tom stewart

    I don’t think Dangerfield was entirely innocent either.

    Essendon have our pick potentially 3-4 plus their own first.

    If Allan goes do they get a compensation pick?

    They might get 1,2?

    Either team?

    can we pin this post so that every moron who complains about us ‘getting rid’ of Jordon and Bedford can see it?

    yes, if he leaves as a free agent, they will - most likely - get band 1 compensation

    So potentially eagles will have

    Pick 1 for finishing last

    Pick 2 band 1 compo

    Pick 3 our first pick via bombers for Reid

    Pick 5/6 bombers first pick

    So out of Hogans 9 marks which he subsequently booted 9 goals how many marks were big contested pack marks and how many were taken out on a lead.

    This one is far worse, as Greene looked at Owies before tunnelling him and then Owies is completely upended, landing on his head. This was extremely dangerous. Greene could have pulled out.

    Now the old boys are saying “what could Toby have done”? Pulled out for a start.

    This is the difference in the media.

    Fritta canned and people looking for a suspension and with Toby, trying to get him off.

    Can see St Kilda being one of those sides that goes from missing the 8 to finishing top 4 either after round 24 or at the conclusion of the finals. They’ll win the majority of their games at Marvel and will pick up a bonus away win today. Could even beat GWS next week at a neutral venue.

    Port are a bit like us at the moment. Severely low on confidence.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
