Mickey

He looks a big unit. Only 194cm but hopefully his athletic profile lets him play a bit taller

I won't be saying meh, I'll be asking my TV screen very loudly why they tried to shrug the tackle instead of getting rid of the ball. More likely scenario is I'll be applauding Daicos or Ginnivan getting pinged

I don't think its that complicated. The rule was brought in to stop a third man up after the rucks had engaged at a ball up. Penalise the third guy. They managed to work out who the rucks were competing in the contest for decades. No reason they can't do it now. All it will take is a few free kicks before players stop protesting confusion and get on with it.

Yep, I read that as nomination remaining, they just aren't waiting. That sucks. It should be no nomination at all and third man in is penalised. Also hate the stand rule crack down. All the others are meh.

Not just you

I googled and couldn't find anything new about Glasshouse

I think our issue in the past hasn't been too many bulls, it's too many bulls who had absolutely no other string to their bow. Trac was the only one of the 3 who could move forward, and even then, he was a terrible set shot. Langford has shown he can play elsewhere, and if Lindsay develops into an inside mid I think he's shown the same. I think Greeves has also shown he can possibly move forward, so is probably less of an issue than carrying Viney, Trac and Oliver.

Fair to say Clarry is using the time between being let go by Melbourne, and being pulled into line by GWS, to take a number of pot shots at sports reporters he doesn't like. Chief among them Tom Morris and Mitch Cleary. He's also posting pictures showing him hanging out with Jamarra Ugle-Hagan and Harmes. He's not our problem anymore, but I'd be surprised if the Giants didn't give him a call to tell him to tone it down.

Interesting to see where he fits going forward. Too short to play as the 1st or 2nd forward, but would be handy as a third forward. Very different playing style to Fritta but essentially that position. Our medium fwd stocks are a bit bare. Fritta hopefully has a few years left but Melk probably has 1, Mihochek 2-3.

Steele might like to keep 9. Or might like a fresh start. I don't mind the idea of Langford in 4, Lindsey in 5 along with Windsor in 6

It was visible in the video the club put out with Chaplin's post-game address after the last game. It wasn't leaked by anybody.

They haven't changed the rule. Yes, Lamb said they can't but I'm assuming thats because he either thought they were talking about trading them for a player, he had Humphrey in his mind or he just forgot. We can absolutely trade our picks for other picks.

The Age gave us a B+, with only GC and GWS above us

They haven't. Assuming he was thinking of trading for players, not ither picks

Would rather watch GC and GWS. See Clayton and Petracca duke it out. Then we'll see what they really think of one another

We have a cadre of yound mids that need leadership. Langford, Windsor, Lindsey, Kolt, even Bowey and Rivers will benefit greatly from having another level headed, experienced guy to learn from. They weren't getting that from Oliver or Petracca. This is a great development move

GC walking out of marvel. Suggest they're done

Tim Lamb and Craig Cameron chatting in the Trade Feed. Trac deal incoming

I think he'll stick with the Saints

I think we can close it considerably sooner next year, when he comes out and publicly nominates Hawthorn

They'll be announced close together because rhe aFL dictate when deals can be announced on the last day to drive up ratings

The 2026 1st is too much. They can keep 7 and we'll keep our F1

Listening to Morris, it is very obvious that he is getting all of his info from the Suns. The chatter of 7&8 for Trac and 24 is all framed as 'Suns will do it if they get 24 back'. It's only about what is good for the Suns. It seems that Melbourne aren't leaking, which is good because a) leaks to the media suck (our toilet blogging BBQ enthusiast aside) and b) there is still the chance that we play hard ball with Humphrey being the end target
