Adam Tomlinson on the move?
Since coming back from his knee, he seems to have lost his pace a bit. Whether that is a confidence issue or a consequence from the knee injury, I am not sure. All the best to him if he leaves though, as he seems to be a great bloke.

Trade and Free Agency rumours
Time to go and get Deven Robertson. We loved him in his draft year. He is apparently unhappy with lack of games at Brisbane and with Dunkley and Ashcroft coming in, that means he potentially has even less game-time now. Brisbane will need picks to satisfy the Dogs and to get Ashcroft as F/S. I hope we ask the question. He would be an upgrade on Harmes, Jordon, Sparrow or ANB at the least.

Marty Hore
Was in the VFL team of the year as a back pocket this year. Played for North. Hope he gets another opportunity at AFL level. Played some good games for us before his knee injuries.

CASEY: Grand Final vs Southport
Trengove had the same injury and was never the same. Unfortunately it might be the same for TMac
-
Josh Corbett
Reminds me a bit of our former player Tim Smith Looks good at VFL level, can take a grab, but isn't quite big enough to be a KPF at AFL level. Isn't consistent enough at AFL level to be an answer to our forward half woes.

Farewell Luke Jackson
Jon Ralph has revealed our "mega asking price" in the Heraldsun: "Melbourne will begin negotiations over a trade for Luke Jackson demanding the king-sized ransom of two top-10 selections and with Fremantle the overwhelming favourite to secure his services."

Farewell Luke Jackson
His instagram username has always had a 12 in it. It's been there since before he was drafted. He did remove the "#6" from his instagram bio though. I'm not sure of the reasoning for the removal.

Trade and Free Agency rumours
Brayden Ham from the Bombers is reportedly looking at his options. With "vic rivals interested". https://www.afl.com.au/news/832727/roos-open-to-offers-on-no-1-pick-out-of-favour-bomber-seeks-trade We have had interest previously. Wouldn't be surprised if we are asking the question again.

ROAD TO THE GRAND FINAL
Last year the 2nd Qualifying final (2nd vs 3rd) was the first final played on the Friday. If the same happens again, then Papley would miss the game due to 12 day mandatory lay-off for his concussion.

Clarko to Norf
How much does Robbo love Hird honestly..... Like clockwork, he was always going to write this

TEAMS: Rd 23 vs Brisbane
Dip in form of Jordon was no doubt caused by that knock to his medial ligament that happened a couple weeks ago. Been strapped since. No Weideman in emergencies is telling. Shows how far back he is.
-
What's next for Adem Yze?
I totally agree. Blake Caracalla was instrumental for Richmond turning themselves around, especially in regards to their forward half game. Also has experience of working under Thompson and Chris Scott at the Cats from 09-11, and Malthouse from 06-09. Would be a great replacement for Yze, or even becoming our forwards coach, allowing Stafford to take the ruck/mids. Surely we ask the question.......

Farewell Brodie Grundy
A no from me. Too much risk on an injury prone and out of form 29 year old. Go after Tom De Koning instead. OOC at the same time as Mckay and Curnow at the end of 2023. Go after him now with the draft capital we will get for Jackson.

Angus Brayshaw Re-Signs Until 2028
Listening to his younger brother Hamish on SEN WA talk about Angus and his current contract situation, it seems like the Brayshaw brothers have a very high opinion of themselves.

POSTGAME : Rd 19 vs Western Bulldogs
First time we have conceded 100 points since 2019.

New Balance 40% members offer
Having issues on my end too. I can add items to my cart, but the discount is not automatically applied when I go to checkout (despite the email saying it should). I'll re-try in 24 hours.

Buddy
He's not a free agent based on the list released by the AFL, meaning we'd have to trade for him. Plus, the story is just Franklin's camp postering, and are clearly trying to get a better deal from the Swans. He wants it public that he's been lowballed and has threatened to play elsewhere so that the Swans up their offer from $500k, to his desired $700k-800k. The Heraldsun is happy to go with the story for clicks and advertising cash.

Farewell Luke Jackson
Thank you for passing on your mail as always Was holding out hope, but that's that.....Hoperfully we get plenty in return.

POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Geelong
What could've been?.... The Kozzy miss..... The Fritsch dribble with Langdon free..... The Bedford fumble when he was off and away..... The umpires not calling below the knees against Rohan on Jackson which nearly broke his leg.... The JJ holding the ball.....

POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
James Jordon, amongst all this hurt and devastation, you can hold your head up high young fella.

POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
Daniel Turner was not ready. Don't want to hear about the concussion. You could tell he was not ready before the concussion.
-
CHANGES: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
I think the match committee should consider playing Mitch Brown as a KPD. Was more than serviceable as a defender during his time at Essendon, in particular during the replacement player period. If Petty doesn't get up, I'd be putting Mitch Brown as a KPD and Weideman to come in as 2nd KPF. Turner isn't ready IMO.
