Go the Biff

Disagree. If he stays he's not the first to have a trade denied & go on to represent his club with distinction. Ryan O'Keefe is probably the poster boy for that. Denied a trade to his home state and ended up a premiership player (maybe a Norm Smith as well) with the Swans.

Rams, Seahawks, Ravens

I wonder what the pull will be if we play finals again next year. If Hogan gets to bag a handful in front of 90,000 cheering him at the G

The club would be planning what the list would ideally look like over the next 1 - 5 years to try to get the maximum return out of what's currently a pretty strong position Perhaps it's as simple as 1) the club had an expectation that Jesse would request a trade at the end of his current contract 2) they had been tracking May with a view to getting him at the end of his current contract (which Mahoney has confirmed) 3) they saw an opportunity to advance those changes by 12 months And perhaps you're reading too much into it old chap. Perhaps

That was Plan B. Plan A was to have a crack at him next year. Plan C it is Does anyone know if the club applied to the AFL for permission to trade next year's first round pick ? If so, were we successful ?

Rams, Ravens, Broncos still smarting from that overrule that cost the poor old Browns a win - and me a point !

Agreed. We should take him on a tour of Jihad Stadium and Blundstone Arena to remind him of what the alternative is. He's exactly what we need playing the inside / outside role in tandem with Brayshaw. Not exclusively as a winger

You might want to follow that one. Lowest rated horse in the race and put in a stunning run

According to who ? Facebook ? Judd's grandma ?

Seahawks, Saints and ..............ah #$@% it, why not the Browns

Bears, Pats, Steelers

Eagles Chargers Pats ......... and Brady over Rodgers

Agreed. I understand our interest in him. I can't however understand his interest in us. He's signing on to a gig at Casey

Count me in again Simple and fun comp this. As well as being a lot more challenging than it looks to pick up points. Get on board ! Steelers Titans Bengals

Would have loved to see him play a final in red & blue. Hope he feels he's accomplished what he set out to achieve when he decided to join us. He & Crossy in particular have been immense when it came to turning the club around on field. So glad he got to play his 100th game for us. Thanks Bernie

He'll have played too many games. I believe it's under 21 years old and less than 10 games at the start of the season

It looked better on TV than it did from behind the goals. Bit of a floater that seemed to dip at the goal at the last second. Great result for him though. He'll be ramming them through from 50 on a regular basis next year

I can go back to the '70's. Most of the best midfielders I've seen for us are wingers. Flower, Johnson, Alves & Tingay chief among them. To use an old term the best centreman / ruck rover types (which is the category I put Oliver in for the purpose of comparison) are IMO Viney and for a couple of years Brian Wilson. Better than both of them was Greg Wells. You can argue that he hasn't gone past those three yet but we are reflecting on their careers and he's played just over 50 games. I believe that by the time he chalks up 100, the question won't need asking. He'll be a mile in front The Jedi reference is good - even as recently as the last 3 weeks he's done something in each game that's left me gobsmacked. His ball control at pace is unbelievable

Pretty sure it's a coaches award, not a mum's award. Gaff was one of the best on ground & instrumental in setting up the win. Before the incident. He will get a penalty, likely severe and he will deserve it Doesn't deserve the crucifixion that's been going on in the last 24 hours bit no doubt it will continue

Thought of you as soon as he said it. It's a [censored] disgrace that he's still doing it after this long in the AFL system

Norf have been rabbiting on about their "war chest" for the past couple of years. Saints would have e fair bit of breathing space in their cap post Reiwoldt & Montagna

Change of personnel and change of role. WCE have lost their two main clearance players from last year in Priddis and Mitchell to retirement. So Gaff is one of those filling that gap. Agree he is not lightning but he runs both ways from pocket to pocket and does so relentlessly

That's the website hosting the league ladders & scoring for the VFL & many local footy leagues. 1 = best on. 6 = 6th best. Means nothing from a club or B&F perspective. Stupid way of doing it but no-one cares enough to jack up about it
