I'm just glad this nonsense is sorted and didn't drag on until the end of the trade period. what a pointless solo run from Trac. a trade was never a possibility. hopefully he can get his head down, focus on his recovery and be fit and firing come round 1. After listening to Maxy yesterday I'm sure there'll be no bad blood between him and the playing group and he can re-integrate without any problems. We need the norm smith trac doing what he does best on the footy filed. Leave the brand and cooking recipes until post career. The leaking and backgrounding needs to stop. the next anonymous source that feeds news to the media needs to be hunted down and banished.

Very good start to the season against a tough opponent Kate Hore class the difference. Macken very good as well. Shelley Heath a little tiger as always. Not perfect but always great to win at that sh*tpile. We don't get the W down there too often. Go Dees

[censored] off umpire

Macken has been excellent all night

that could be an important point

that has to be the worst HTB free ever against chaplin

superb ruck work Pearce.

tayla harris looks in real trouble here

easily the best game of the round so far. proper tough contested footy.

where would we be without Kate Hore. Heads and shoulders above everyone else.

Its weird seeing Maddie Gay in Essendon colours

Doggies miles off the pace today. no decent senior players other than Blackburn. Going to be another long season for them by the looks of it.

I reckon Maxy could make a decent president down the track.

There's also the come home factor. Step forward Harley Reid. And would be great to see Mac Andrew in the red and blue seeing as the AFL dudded us there.

I wouldn't be the biggest Schwarz fan but i thought he spoke quite well here.

Well done Daisy.

He has 3 years left and isn't pushing for the move. Unlikely to leave this year but i doubt he'll sign another contract with us. I hope i'm wrong and would love if he was a one club player with us.

he's been talking to Freo. chook in Perth confirmed it.

He wants to go to WA. Freo his preference but they will trade in Bolton this year so it looks like it will have to be Eagles for him.

Eagles with all the run. Tiges off the pace. Daisy looking good here for first coaching win

looks like the hometown umpiring applies to the Eagles ALFW team as well as the mens. Tiges getting reemed by the umps here.

Apparently, Kate Roffey to give an interview to SEN about pick 5 seeking a trade next week

Eagles haven't been much chop since coming into the comp. Best of luck Daisy. I think you'll need it.

my preference is for kossie to be settled and happy and finish his career with us. it doesn;t look like that will happen though so maximising the value we get in a trade has to be the priority perhaps try to keep him for 2 years and then involve Reid?
