The Great Pretender

I hear that the Gold Coast Suns have now been awarded Darwin as part of its Academy Zone which is fair enough. I was never a fan of losing a home game, having to go up there and then inevitably losing the week after as well. But does the MFC get another area by way of compensation for the loss of this zone or have we been done over in yet another AFL rort?

Dockers will make a big play to get Angus Brayshaw in exchange for Langdon. Idea is to reunite the brothers (the WCE brother to be delisted and also picked up by them).

Ben King will come back home at the end of 2020 when his contract expires and he will go to St Kilda.

But why a 173cm midget when we already have a few on our list?

Has he passed a fitness test with any club yet?

Jon Ralph reckons he “would take Sam Frost over Adam Tomlinson” so what’s it all about?

Why should GCS be given a priority pick when they’re going to get a trade with the Blues for a quality player like Jack Martin who should be netting them a first round pick but will probably cost a second rounder? They already have plenty of first rounders including one who has yet to play at all. First round picks aren’t going to help them anyway if they can’t be nurtured and want to leave at the first possible opportunity.

I don’t think so

That’s why we will offer a first round pick for him. We’ll keep the second rounder for Hill and both will spend the majority of 2020 in rehab. We should also be chasing the only bloke on Brisbane’s list who’s injured at the moment.

That’s a much better team but it’s probably a case of too little, too late.

Either that or he’s this week’s “mystery injury”.

We miss Jesse Hogan.

Where’s Tom Bugg?

Any reports from Casey Fields?
