whatwhat say what

i love that every article maclure writes about oliver includes the caveat that 'melbourne are adamant he's not up for trade' who is pushing for the trade, i wonder? all of maclure's commentary seems to be coming from the oliver camp

i think one of the things that is easy to forget is that afl players are afl players because, well, they grew up idolising other afl players as such, it makes sense that they want to go and play for the club that they supported - it's a definite advantage for the likes of the filth (perryman), meth coke (baker), and the crom (cumming) he's a great get for them given their age and list demographics

great write-up on kalani... Attached to two clubs through the Suns Academy and also Melbourne as a father-son prospect (Jeff, 236 games), White played the deepest defensive role and was often involved one way or another. A couple of times he got caught behind but when in front he was able to quell any attack with a great leap and timed his spoiling well. Playing it safe with his disposals which were often neat, short passes while on the last line, he clunked five marks – one contested – and was among the better players on his side despite having the least disposals, showing his impact in pressure situations.

doesn't even officially begin for, what, a further 10 days?

you didn't include the next sentence: But a third source said Melbourne had indicated to people in the industry they were not interested in trading the 27-year-old sam needs to pick a lane

flow on effect from mcqualter getting the meth coke coaching gig wantaway tigs going to play under a bloke they know

bassatt comes in as one, presumably forward coach midfield coach tbc

very good result for him hopefully it's a long-term deal for him as they need to re-develop significantly

6 will go to the tigs for rioli 12 will go for noble and the filth's future 1st 20 will probably be swapped for a future 1st from someone else as well

flagmantle are using all their picks to bring in bolton and, if they can, baker from the tigs

you forgot billionaires in the boys' club agitating for change

i would wager, given the actual ticket allocation, that there was a higher percentage of demons' fans at the perth stadium grand final than there would be at an mcg grand final

i was amazed when he took a mark on the half back flank in a pack yesterday haven't seen him do that for a long, long time he played well, but i thought fort / daniher won the ruck battle over him / mclean

i thought he played half forward as a stopper on zorko and got smashed

you said "As always we don’t seem to be in the hunt for any big name players" except we are, virtually every year just posting rubbish

bloods game is built around the scg can't defend the bigger ground the 5m or so shouldn't make a difference but clearly every centimetre of space counts

grundy having a shocker

big piece by caro today about how much we miss him

bloods finding out that the mcg is a much harder ground to defend than the scg

wtf are you talking about this year we were near certs to get houston - the best player looking to move clubs by some margin - until such a time as our season collapsed in on itself there's not that many 'big names' looking to move clubs; in truth, there rarely is

the correct mfcss interpretation is.... he chooses to come to us: fringe development tall he chooses to stay on the gold coast: superstar from day dot, pairing with mac andrew to form the nimblest tall defender duo of all time

kalani is a string bean

straight swap for harley, yr saying

widely reported we're not paying any $$ of grundy's contract
