2025 List and Contract Details
So is Billings delisted or listed? Always a good sign when you just don’t know… when the events and the website just can’t agree…

TAYLA HARRIS - a star on and off field
The amount of hate she attracts from the some men is abhorrent. It derives first from her having the gall to be the face of a fledgling league of women athletes, and it worsened with the social media bile she received from these same men for the amazing photo that C7 had on its Twitter. She has been nothing but an amazing orbital figure that has protected other women in the league and has admirably beared the scars of those toxic meteors. And I want her to be Demon till she is done.

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?

No but we have identified a potential recruit from Adelaide. Assuming he doesn’t agree terms with St Kilda first…- Rule changes proposed for 2026
Again: haw/gws final Stoppage every minute. Every. Minute. Let’s do this and the next thing.- Rule changes proposed for 2026
Less throw ins mean less clearance based footy mean we need to get out of our current midfield yesterday. Although I have no idea how many stoppages this rule would reduce. Anyone have the stats on that?? The last weekend saw 68, 56, 46, and 77 non-centre square stoppages so that GWS/Haw game was a stoppage for nearly every minute of actual play. And that’s not including stoppages for goals… Works fine in the AFLW. I just don’t know the numbers it will impact really.- Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver in 2026
I would move CP5 and Viney into being forwards that come into the middle. I would either leave Oliver there or trade to a team willing to take most of his wage*. This would the allow for continued growth of McVee, Rivers, Langford, etc. CP5 you isolate and tell him to just calm down when you have the pill, and Viney you just lean on his professionalism and commitment and say ‘this gets you an extra couple years if you can pull it off’. *A trade that doesn’t either net us a good draft hand, a player we need, or cap relief is not worth doing.- The Wade Derksen Thread
Players are agreeing to clubs right now. We have a list manager for a reason. If the new coach wants to kibosh some deals that we have made then I would prefer to manage that fallout then being quiet and then the new coach coming in and seeing no potential opportunities because they were ‘waiting for them to arrive.’- Marcus Windhager
Jefferson = Gunston !! PF jumped the shark back in 2007 with Michael Newton but that is a special kind of delusion.- Marcus Windhager
The way things are going lately, this Windhager fellow will follow suit and nominate the Saints as his preferred home- Marcus Windhager
I am suggesting that posters do not engage the reasoning centres of their pre-frontal cortex when they discuss appropriate recompense in matters of football trades.- Marcus Windhager
It’s amazing how this player is great and a potential boon but also not worthy of any valuable asset. Literally incredible.- AFLW: Rd 04 vs Richmond
Hore and Hanks. And they have found some mid sized backs that play taller and have great instincts. If Fitzsimons keeps playing like that then they are a chance this season. Purcell is such a large gap to fill but MF is doing a pretty good impression with Hore spending more time in the middle too.- Luke Jackson back to Victoria?
You are quite excellent at not asking the pertinent question. I mean that as a compliment, really. It’s a good sign as a lawyer. The situations are completely different and your question rhetorical and yet so irrelevant.- Luke Jackson back to Victoria?
Maybe not but I am glad Old has brought a bit of reality to this. Some here just navel gaze and whinge ‘big clubs get players for a packet of chips so we can too’ waaaah… ‘they just have to nominate us’ waaaah…- AFLW TRAINING: Friday 5th September 2025
Thanks ghost- Rowan Marshall

I heard similar and specifically around Grundy - Gawn would not relent and waived away Goodwins desire to adjust his game but also wasn’t up front with how he would not relent before Goodwin made that fateful move. Some ask about the cost - how about this for a counterfactual - put all that effort and trade capital and $$$ into a tall forward… It makes my blood boil.- Rowan Marshall
- Rowan Marshall
Nope, I would gladly hand over a couple of those AAs for another 20 goals a season and Grundy being an effective ruck as Goodwin intended. I am being slightly facetious and fanciful with the counter factual but we have never really dealt with what happened with that great waste of time and effort to get Grundy and I think it was costly.- Rowan Marshall
‘Absolute garbage’? Ok then.- Rowan Marshall
I expect more from captains.- Rowan Marshall
One can hope. But Max walks on water to most.- Rowan Marshall
No he won’t. Goodwin got Brodie effing Grundy to allow Gawn to build a forward aspect to his role and he could not or would not do it. It would have allowed Gawn to have a Paul Salmon like end to his career and play till he is 40 but now Max will simply end his career in a puff of smoke in the next few as his knees give out for the last time. Shouldering the ruck incessantly and unnecessarily.- Rowan Marshall
Gawn has made it quite clear he can’t and won’t coexist with an another ruck so there would be nothing to this EVEN if the far fetched idea of Marshall wanting to come was true. - Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
