Isn't the club shopping around Rockliff and Hanley for trade? I'd probably tell them to get stuffed as well. Although Rockliff started the issues with his outrageous contract demands and poor demeanor.

Don't the players nominate the team? Or was that the older system? I distinctly remember a year or two ago some kid had the choice between nominating St Kilda or Carlton due to the father son rule.

Collingwood have officially started top up mode, Richmond style. Buckley will run that club into the ground before he goes, killing any hope of them achieving premiership success on the way out.

Reckon the media are just taking advantage of destabilising a destabilised club that nobody cares about. Gossip sells!

I can't wait to see Clarry after 3 or 4 pre-seasons. Oooh boy!

Sounds like rubbish to me.

We're talking about Brisbane here, who have consistently given up overs to get players in the door. They're desperate. Dunn is a contracted KPP, they don't grow on trees.

If I were the MFC, I'd be trying to get more currency from pick 26 than a straight swap for Hibberd. Brisbane have St Kilda's second round pick this year (pick 28), so I'd try trading out pick 26 & Dunn for pick 20 & 28. Essentially Brisbane downgrade pick 20 six places, and give up pick 28 for Dunn (which we on-trade for Hibberd). Gives us pick 20 as our first live pick in the draft.

Wonder if something's happened behind the scenes? Seems like Eddie's ruffled someone's feathers...

I'm guessing we'll miss him if we wait for pick 9 in the rookie draft, but would we have enough senior list spots vacant to take him late in the ND? It doesn't look like we're planning to upgrade any rookies this year.

Adelaide's weakness is definitely their midfield. Their KPP stocks are perfectly fine, although Tex had an absolute stinker last night. If Sloane left they'd be screwed.

Dreading next week at Etihad, another shitheap of a surface.

Third... goal?

I don't think the thuggery techniques work against Clarry; it just makes him angrier. A bit like Doomsday at the end of Batman vs Superman.

Time to do your stuff, Clarry. You know what to do.

Oliver is aggressive, a beautiful kick, a great decision maker and he ensures his tackles hurt.

6 behinds? Grrr, c'mon Melbourne. Work on your kicking!

It's a bloody sad state of affairs when I would actually rather [censored] GWS to win a premiership over either alternative (Geelong or Sydney). I can't stomach either of these teams winning yet another bloody premiership.

It's their own fault they blew a top 4 position in the final round (or second final round, I forget).

I'm really sick of being told how incredible Heeney is. Yeah, we all know, that's why in an open draft he was the best midfielder available. Sydney, just the endless charity case of the AFL.

I've already put a movie on. Genuine snoozefest. The mind boggles what we have to look forward to in the GF. Sydney vs GWS a huge possibility.

Roos wasn't filling me with confidence tonight on Fox, mentioning how well Melbourne will be compensated if Jesse leaves (to the point that we'd be paid significant overs and hinting we'd end up better off). Sounded very, very similar to his talk before Frawley left, where he kept going on about pick 3 (fully aware we'd been told that was our compo).

Clarkson whinging about the umpiring. [censored] spare me!
