Really hope Gold Coast end up laughing all the way to the bank with that trade. If I have to read the term "Holy Trinity" one more [censored] time, I might just projectile vomit.

WADA convicted drug cheat. Hardly the type of bloke you'd have any respect for, if he was your captain.

What the hell happened to the high-scoring Demons? Last year we were sacrificing Roos' defensive structures but the outcome was higher scoring. Now we're leaking goals to the opposition all over the ground and sruggling to score at all. Essentially, we've sacrificed both offence AND defence. I've concluded that something is seriously wrong with our coaching. So many of our players have gone backwards at lightspeed.

Christ, why couldn't we have gotten Dew? Has the Suns playing like superstars and he's been there a few months. Goodwin's "game plan" (that's being generous) has been found out and he clearly has no answers. Speaking of, I've never seen such an inept "game plan". It seems more focused on exhausting our players than SCORING GOALS. You can only handball around in circles so many times before you turn the ball over, and when your players are too exhausted to defend, it results in easy goals against. So what the [censored] is this [censored], Goodwin? IT. CLEARLY. ISN'T. WORKING. Just so glad we have this year's draft to look forwar... oh, that's right, we gave up our (probably) top 5 pick to Adelaide in this year's draft. Joy!

The whole situation is just baffling to me. As everyone else has said, we've gone backwards at light speed. What the [censored] has gone wrong with this club in the off-season? If we keep this up, we'll be lucky to get out of the bottom 6.

Great! Quick Mahoney, it's not too late to give all 5 picks to Fremantle for Balic.

The way we're traveling, why not a future 2nd round? Hell, throw them the 31 we got for Watts as a sweetener.

I reckon Seven manipulated the audio to reduce the booing; it was deafeningly loud at the ground and outweighed the cheering by a substantial margin.

Gotta wonder if Collingwood regret bringing in Wells and Mayne on $500,000+ multi-year contracts?

Don't underestimate the ways Collingwood can get around the salary cap with their high profile recruits.

Keep in mind that Richmond and Essendon finished bottom 6 last year, helping their finals surge this year. Port also got a super-easy run finishing in the mid-range last year; they ended up 5th despite only beating 2 teams in the top 8 (Sydney when they were terrible and West Coast, who nobody rates -- fitting they play each other in the first elimination final; they're both pretenders). Unfortunately Collingwood managed 10.5 wins and STILL finished bottom 6. Like us, they lost a lot of games by small margins. Their list is nowhere near as bad as it appears and their easy fixture will see them push for finals.

That Howe-Kennedy trade looks absolutely disastrous right now. Howe absolutely [censored] us with the Gold Coast backflip.

Annoyed about the timing -- we really need them to lose against Adelaide. Now they have an extra motivation to cause an upset.

I will say -- it'll be interesting to see if we return to consistent form with Hogan back out of the side. He's obviously best 22 but it's hard to deny that, during our strongest patch of the year (Gold Coast to West Coast), neither Gawn or Hogan were in the team.

We used two first rounders (Oliver and Weideman) in the 2015 draft. We don't need to use any first rounders in a draft until 2019.

The media fall over themselves to gush over Bontempelli when he so much as farts. You barely hear a mention about Clarry in the media. Shamefully biased.

He's not infallible! Geez, reading some of the comments in this thread you'd think he was Lucas Cook. The simple fact is this: we're yet to win a single game without Lewis in the side, which makes his win loss ratio pretty enviable compared to other teammates. Something to think about.

Just don't let Fremantle have him!

Search 'Jake Lever and Daniel McStay' in Google and open the article at the top from there.

How are GWS going to pay all these players with contracts ballooning to that size?

He would slot straight in, he's going to be a special player. Wish we'd found a way to get him back in his draft.

A bit like politicians calling speed cameras "road safety cameras." It was an illegal performance-enhancing drugs regime, not a [censored] "supplements saga." I wonder how large the bonus was for the PR spin doctor who pulled that term out of their ass.

He's a few branches short of a tree, is Robbo.

Ah, the good old days, before "journalism" became endless clickbait and product placement disguised as an article (and usually not declared in the addendum).

You know the media has an agenda when they start telling you who and why you should feel sympathy for someone. I reserve my sympathy for people I feel deserve it. James Hird is most definitely not such an individual.
