But explain Eagles, Carlton and Essendon, mega-clubs of yore. According to my (incomplete) theory of quantum mechanics they are heading towards entropy. Everything else is going down the Geelong freeway.

Old world, new world. We were never at war with Eurasia.

Media have Geelong, Collingwood and Hawthorn as the only Vic clubs good players should go to now. Saints picking off the B graders with ridiculous $$$.

    I don't understand that as the media really does well in an even competition where games are exciting.

    Wanting more of the better players from lower clubs to go to the bigger clubs, is counter productive to an exciting competition.

    Geelong are the solid ice, the others are the melting ice.

    I don't either, yet it is par for the course. Having 9 [censored] teams this year didn't seem to impact much.

    Rumour: the umpires will be holding their formal end of season get-together the week following the grand final. It is on this night that they vote to see which team they will support next season.

    2026 First round pick & Koltyn Tholstrup for Jye Amiss

    One of those changes surrounds a 22-year-old key forward who struggled to find his feet in 2025 after promising 2023 and 2024 campaigns.

    “I think they could get aggressive with Jye Amiss,” King told SEN Fireball.

    “If they’re looking to put one up, I think he’s superfluous to needs. If they could trade that player for another line-breaking mid, that’d be a sound investment I would say.”

    Seems overs to me, our 2026 first round is more than likely a top 10 pick and possibly in the 1-4 range. As for Koltyn you are effectively giving him up for nothing. Think you would get much better price by splitting them up if that’s the way to go

    Coincidentally, I’m pretty sure WA footy media suggested that Trent Rivers should be a player of interest for Freo not that long after they talked about this on SEN.

    Absolutely no fn way. Amiss is Weidemen 2.0 why in earth would we give up a first round pick let alone Kolt for him.

    We’d be doing Freo a favour taking him off their books.

    Do we really nead a dedicated topic to Rumours given that this time of year more than 90% of posts are centred around rumours, with the remaining 10% bout our AFLW teams stellar start to the season and on news that is reported by the club.

    What are his main flaws? in his last 3 seasons he's averaging 36 goals a season and he's not the main man.

    To suggest Amiss is Weidemen 2.0 is a big stretch. Is he worth a first rounder plus Tholstrup I'd say probably not.

    But Tholstrup to date hasn't really fired a shot and the jury is still out on whether he will.

    Amiss is an upgrade on anyone we currently have on our list as a tall KPF (Fritta is not a KPF). This has and continues to be an area of need that so far, we haven't fixed.

    Amiss has as much presence as Fritsch tho, he’s a lead mark player in a cumbersome big body. He might get it together, but it wouldn’t shock me if he ends up just a meh player on a lot of cash.

    Pies are apparently chasing Jack Buller. I reckon he offers about as much as Amiss for a far cheaper price. If we cheap playable upgrade I’d get him, but it kind of depends how much we want to turn the forward line over to the young guys.

    Fair call - I'm not worried who we are chasing but if we get to next season with no new faces/options in our KPF stocks I will be seriously worried.

    If you look at our current options on the list I doubt very much whether any of them would get a start with any of this year's finals teams. That must be a concern for everyone I would have thought.

    If Merrett leaves just shut Essendon down.

    I have to say I hate Essendon but I have no respect for contracted leaders who pull this [censored].

    You are a captain. If you have no belief in the club don’t sign a long deal.

    Yep he was agitating when he signed his current deal. Should’ve either moved when he was out of contract or done his job and honoured the contract.

    Bizarre thing was that wasn't it only 12 months ago he added more money to his contract after the saints came calling?

    • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • 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.
