MELBOURNE CEO SHOOTS DOWN "BEAT UP" REPORTS AROUND NIGHTCLUB STOUSH WITH WESTERN BULLDOGS “Responding for the first time to the allegations, the Melbourne CEO said there wasn’t anything sinister that came from the potential incident.”

As much as I wish Jay well, it’s a strange decision by GWS to chase a player who has been on another club’s list for a year and a half and struggled to get a game. Then again, they are after Brander as well and he’s very much in the same boat.

We were hard done by in 2020 but we needed that extra 12 months for that younger group who underpinned our success to mature.

Thanks WJ. Fullerton’s a nice part of the world, sunny climate and very close to Disneyland. And if Deakin’s into beaches and surfing, the drive to Huntington Beach isn’t too far.

It’s been written elsewhere that the is a a shortage of young ruck talent available for this draft. That being the case, it’s hard to fathom that the best ruck draft prospect would still be available with our second draft pick at 39 (or wherever that eventually falls).

Yes. Where does this leave Collingwood’s ruck stocks? They have Grundy, Darcy Cameron and Mason Cox who according to most judges, is a tall who is no good in the ruck. By the time they use up their draft points to acquire Nick Daicos, they’re not going to be in a position to pick up any ruck gems.

When the write Adrian Dodoro’s biography, this will go down as yet another triumph.

Yes. Sheldrick is very hard at the contest. Reminds me of another player who wears the number 7.

Not playing in this week’s SA v WA Under 19 game in Adelaide.

I trust they will have improved their act since last week’s SA v Allies game.

It says that Melbourne has eight players without a contract. Who are the other seven?

Firewall … could you please provide the quote referencing AMW?

Yes, he can be signed up on a contract but at the end of the year, he has to be uplifted from the primary list. This year, he could end up being one of the three players to go onto the senior list at the time of the draft.

Your lucky the AFL stream works for you. I’m not getting a thing.

Surely someone out west can at least paraphrase it for us?

How many votes did Cerra poll?

Quite right - I saw the update when we put it on the market. Apologies - sold to established local property developer, Metro, for $23.7 million.

Not quite but there will be an expressions of interest campaign with a view to a sale. Member Update | The Bentleigh Club [see correction below]

You should buy a defibrillator and put it in a handy place at home.

West Perth in red & blue but the Falcons won their final today by 4 points with a goal at the 32. minute mark.

Appreciate that it was early in his career but I believe the incident with Dangerfield that led to his 3 match suspension left it’s mark on Jack. He was a fair player and he never really lived up to the potential he showed in his early days at the club. Not long after being appointed co-captain with Jack Grimes, the injuries came and he was never the same. Hopefully, in addition to his success at home, he got a measure of satisfaction from Dangerfield’s plight as Melbourne dismantled his team on Friday night.

If this is true, then it’s good thinking on the part of the Suns - AFL trade news: Suns’ top pick reportedly on trading block For our part, we should be targeting one of those picks or possibly their pick 19 with a trade of an early pick in return for players.

Norwood provided their banners and floggers on Saturday night and there was a definite presence of Redlegs fans at the ground. Thanks Norwood and good luck in the finals!!!

One step closer.

WA’s Jacob Van Rooyen was very impressive in the Under 19 championships game on Saturday. Known more as a KFP in the WAFL Colts competition, he played at CHB against SA and starred. He would be on most team’s’ wishlists in the first round after the first four or five picks are sorted out.
