Is his wife getting $100k for yoga lessons too?

Trade him to the Gold Coast at end of year - let Jonesy top up Super

Coaching group need to spend the bye having a review. - skills deplorable / poor decision making - no forward line connectivity - players not developing / not fit enough - game style (frenetic / pointless) ball movement exposed every week - no improvement over 12 months to the above - keep making wrong selection calls - Spargo

Poor decision maker and undisciplined - not for me.

I'm not sure it's just yips - I don't think Jason Taylor put enough emphasis on kicking skills :- the follow have come to the club with flawed kicking skills / techniques and haven't improved :- Trac, Hunt, ANB, Stretch, Sparrow, Lockhart, Spargo, Maynard. Oliver and Brayshaw have good technique but are torching their F50 entries with poor vision / decision making.

It’s just another area of our game that the coaching team aren’t getting cut through and improving individuals. Trac has had a shocking ball drop since he arrived - never been altered

Out : McCartney, Rooke, Chaplin In : Hird, Yze and J Lewis (backline coach after playing farewell game vs hawks next week)

Brayshaw's positioning to allow reiwold to kick that to dusty to goal was horrendous.... Tiges getting right on top now - games on there terms - would like to see Goody make some changes - needs to manufacture some goals.

I think they've improved out of sight over the past couple of years - particularly given the volume uplift in members they've had to deal with.

The decision making and skill kicking into F50 is a disgrace

Jones been a great warrior but no leader

Will we ever learn to play wet weather? Too cute - knock ons and over possession. Also Jones is cooked - can’t keep his feet in a contest anymore - goes to ground as he thinks he’ll be beaten for speed. Jetta doesn’t look right and I’m certain melksham is playing with broken thumb.

Good luck to them -

Ricky Nixon stating on Twitter that Jesse is damaged goods and Freo have made 110% right call and wont be back....... but won’t say why. AFL industry loves rumours and innuendo.

65..... really - Josh blinked first again!!

No go zone....

Out : Spargo In : Garlett

Blokes walk taller with Lewis by their side.

Out of all the factors discussed over the past 3-4 months, today is the first i've heard of his Dad being ill. Firstly, is this true? If so, in the politically correct world we live in, can I ask what actually is wrong with him and how serious is it? Because surely this will be the biggest factor in him not signing and why Langdon is saying he would go home at the end of 2016 if he could.

Langdon does tend to get a lot right. First time I've been worried about this - but Scully situation turned out ok it in the end - and we'll get good value if he does want a move.....

That trade is reasonable. Weak draft - our pick 24 is like 40 any other year. No guarantees with that pick.

Good call - would make paying overs seem a little more palatable.

Sam McClure ‏@sam_mcclure 19 mins19 minutes ago Essendon's Jake Melksham off to Melbourne. 4 x 400k deal. Melksham averaging 16 disposals over 114 games.

I think we must be considering Tyler as a Rookie - keep hearing him being dubbed a late developer - heard Roosy pump him up - saying what a great championship he had - seen a couple of times that he's Brayshaw's great mate....... where there's smoke.....

The more a see him the more I think he's the image of Terry Wallace in his prime - looks slow but is so smart, finds space and is deceptively strong - even his left foot kicking action is the same as Wallace.
