Farewell Brodie Grundy
32 is 2nd round. It's moving from late second to early second, yes, but a pick they might not even use

Farewell Brodie Grundy
Would 32 and a future second get it done, with maybe a future 3rd coming back? They're both likely to be end of 2nd round picks

AFLW: Rd 05 vs Carlton
21 free kicks to 9 Carlton's way. Daisy scragged at every occasion, Birch knocked over multiple times off the ball. You could see them getting frustrated. But a big win over an average side. West and Purcell great, as were Tayla and Tyla. And goldie some awesome among the head scratches. She's always going to give away one or two weird ones each game, but her pressure and attack on the ball are something to behold

Farewell Jayden Hunt
Given he's a UFA and had a pretty good year, I think I'd prefer to keep him. We won't get much in the way of a compo pick.

Hawks racism allegations (merged thread)
Fagan started in 2008 and left in 2016. Not much of a cross over there

Trade and Free Agency rumours
I agree they should carry the midfield, but I don't think they're keeping anyone out. I just don't think we have the midfield depth at this stage to push them out. But that lack of depth also means Chandler and Bedford probably spending more time in there than they should. That might just be my perception, but it's an issue we've had previously. As you've said, players need to play in the roles they fit in the AFL, where possible. Or we are setting them up for failure

Trade and Free Agency rumours
My concern is that Chandler racks up big numbers because he plays midfield. He won't at AFL level. It feels like we are back at the stage we were a few years ago, where guys go back to the VFL and play out of position compared to where they would play in the AFL. It happened with JKH all the time

Cripps: 'I'd rather get 0 touches and win' He'd still get the bloody three votes though

Trade and Free Agency rumours
I wonder if it's Longmuire or Freo list management/footy department as a whole. I thought Lobb wanted out because he's partner wanted to live on the east coast, Logue and Acres both reportedly got lowballed with initial contract offers, plus Logue is being olayed forward when he's really a key back. Plus fitting Jackson's contract in was always going to be a bit difficult

Daisy on Indigenous round and the minute's silence for the Queen
Good on Dais. This stance will always get blow back from some, and they're entitled to their opinion. But the fact the AFLW prioritised Indigenous round, and the position of the Indigenous people involved, doesn't concern me at all. The Queen has received due respect from an enormous majority of the population and society as a whole. This one act, to prioritise an Indigenous position during Indigenous round, doesn't diminish that for mine. And before people say 'it's white people speaking for Indigenous people', don't forget this started because the person doing the welcome to country was not comfortable doing it with the minute's silence. And if First Nation's people say this is a legitimate issue for them, then it's not up to us to tell them it's not.

Farewell Luke Jackson
Gold Coast shafted big time. A 5 pick upgrade for Rankin would not do it
