2015 GOLD COAST B & F

Is there much trading activity done by the clubs over the weekend? Everything seems to have gone very quiet.

GCS are better placed than we were because the AFL is desperate for the franchise up there to succeed. I don’t think it’s beyond the bounds of credibility to think that the AFL would be pulling all of the necessary levers to get Hogan there (special ambassador payment outside the salary cap). It all depends on Hogan’s mindset and his wish to go home but I wouldn’t rule it out.

Because the second language of the AFL is telling lies.

Only kidding?

Peter Bell has told the media in Perth this evening that he would be prepared to do a trade for Bennell if the club in question was prepared to part with a top ten pick.

That offer was a ludicrous one to make in light of the new rules that in my opinion will make key forwards more valuable to their teams. I think the club should start a new discussion with Hogan and his management concerning him playing with the club in 2019 and working towards negotiating a longer term agreement as the year unfolds.

Looking forward to his return. Some of those games he played before he was injured were sublime.

I had a look at the delisted players to date and there aren’t many there who I would go for. Not all clubs have announced their delistings but unless some more names crop up, I wouldn’t be salivating over the prospects available ATM.

Reports suggest he was waiting for the B & F before announcing his decision. If that’s right and he didn’t announce that he was staying last night, then expect the news by Monday that he’s selected North Melbourne.

We should also have a crack at getting Andrew Brayshaw across and giving them adjoining lockers.

I think that’s the tack we might want to take.

The article says that his father passed away recently and he’s been running the business from a distance. Moving to NSW might help.

SM, KK or both?

At 175cm he towers over Spargo & JKH. Has been compared to Dayne Zorko.

Carlton has delisted Aaron Mullett and Cameron O’Shea along with rookies Jesse Glass-McCasker and Matthew Shaw.

The game is for charity which is what makes it worthwhile but otherwise its a novelty to watch fat blokes running around on a footy field and listening to bad commentary. Basically, it's cringeworthy but for a good cause.

Jay Clark reports that “former Melbourne coach Paul Roos has backed Simon Goodwin to earn a certain contract extension in the off-season.” Simon Goodwin set to sign contract extension after helping break Demons’ finals drought

It seems that the quest for talls is on again in earnest across the board. Ruck merry-go-round set to spin again We need someone to give Max a chop out and the two kids in the VFL are not exactly standing up as yet. Do we keep them (or one) and try elsewhere?

Could we put out an all points bulletin to locate Chris from Camberwell and invite him as a guest on the Demonland Podcast. It would be riveting!!!

Darling ruled out so they don’t have Naitanui, Gaff and their two key forwards. If we can find a way to lose to WCE in that situation then Port Adelaide or North Melbourne deserve to be in the finals ahead of us. End of story.

No, no, not Schmitthouse!!! Aaargh ...

I was watching The Block tonight and I now understand the fascination with the Gatwick. Magnificent!

Good to see out cat b boys are already in the mix.
