Please Collingwood are at the forefront with the dodgy deals. Do you think it was coincidence that Luke Ball's media profile jumped directly he moved to the Pies. Do you think the articles written by some journo in his name was just a bit of luck. Please wake up.

All this talk of take less to be part of a successful winning culture is pure rhetoric. We have not won a Premiership for over 40 years. We have had the worst off field scandals of pretty much every club of the last few years. We have a history of letting our top players leave for more money elsewhe...

I am in my mid 40s, we haven't won one in the last 40 years so why now that the great period of equalisation is coming to an end should I expect we will win another. There is a reason why the larger more powerful clubs target us for players. It is because they can. We are a soft target and have been...

The really good thing here is watch the Collingwoods and Carltons of this world rubbing their hands together as they paw over our playing list. Those Saints won't mind if we take their best player, get in their players ear mid-season, they are an easy target. Well we show yet again as we did with Pl...

I know where you are coming from Fireman. I also believe that I will never see a premiership in my lifetime. Now, before people tell me to harden up or keep the faith as our time will come again I just want them to think about the direction our game is taking. We are entering the world of Free Agenc...

If category 2 means you are not assured a GF ticket if we make it, then the club can stick it's social club membership up its arse. I have been a SC member for 15+ years because it meant if we ever made it I was assured of a ticket. Without that assurance the social club membership holds little valu...

I would expect GC to bid for Viney as with Caddy going an inside-mid is their biggest need and Viney is the most highly credentialed in the draft. If Stringer lasts to our pick I would be absolutely amazed and would love for us to grab him. In my opinion he is the sort of player you can build a team...

As to cost of living in Sydney compared to Melbourne there is very little difference. As my username suggests I have lived in Sydney and spent a number of years in both cities. The lifestyle is Sydney is great if you have a reasonable amount of cash and at the top end it is no more expensive than li...

I wouldn't be surprised if they are looking at Hickey more his ability to take a contested mark than for his ability in the ruck. Contested marking is the most valuable asset in the game at the moment. The modern game consists of 18 men on the field with at least 9 of them playing a ruck-roving role...

They play as a team - always have and its a credit to them. I dislike them immensly also but there has to be something to their "bloods" culture that somehow gets and transforms ok players into great ones. Kennedy is a great player. Ted Richards a great player. Even Reece Shaw (a headless...

I hate the Swans, I would have much rather seen the Pies win tonight than this low life AFL love child. Have extra money in their Salary Cap. Raid other sides by offering ridiculous salaries for players that the other can't match because they don't have that extra 800K. Pretend to have some mystical...

Rather than chase Caddy we should offer WC pick 13, if we have it, for Mitch Brown and Ash Smith maybe Stevens.
I would prefer Smith.
Solid Mid and Key Defender.
However, if we keep BJ we should just keep pick 12 for the best kid we can grab.

Brown is a key defender not a ruckman, so 195 cm is more than sufficient size wise.

Melbourne will take Viney even if they have to use Pick 4. They made a commitment to him and if they were seen to pass up on that commitment they would never get another father-son. Viney is probably the best in and under mid in the draft which is exactly what GC are looking for anyway so why wouldn...

How can Geelong be in the hunt?
They say they don't pay anyone over 500K but unless they do they cannot even get a sniff at BJ.
So either Brian Cook is telling Porkies about their salary structure, they are willing to blow it completely apart or they are not in for BJ.

Mooney was 100% correct. Why should BJ be loyal to our club? The clubs show no loyalty to players beyond what they can get out of them, so why should players be any different. Players are no more emotionally involved with the club than you or I are with our work. We probably wouldn't swap to a compe...

It is nothing to do with their colour, it is do with the fact that they are media darlings. Bruce goes "fifty shades of grey" at even a mention of either of them. Rioli had a good year but not as good as any of Swallow, Mitchell, Sidebottom or Rockliff. However, none of them are covered in...

Raph has Afl level skills with Vfl level decision making. That's what make him so dominant at Sandy while normally struggling at the senior level.

Yes Caddy is in a position to make demands. He does not have to accept any trade. There may be clubs he doesn't wish to go to for what ever reason. The Suns cannot force him to accept a trade but he seems to be trying to do the best thing by the club so may go to ever they request. He wants to get b...

If St Kilda fail to match the 600K for 4 years then we may as well give up. Elite players do not grow on trees. Drafting is a gamble, an educated guess but still a guess. Yes, pick 13 could give you another Nick Dal Santo it could also give you another Aaron Fiora. It is easy for Geelong to pay unde...

Oh please, desist with the poultry attempts at humour.

We should be chasing Mitch Brown from WC. He is behind a few players on the Eagles list and may be looking for more opportunities. In my opinion he is a better player than Chaplin.

Yes the umpiring was poor but anyone trying to argue that there was deliberate premeditated bias is sadly deluded. The decisions did favour the Pies but that almost always happens when one sides supporters greatly outnumber the other. It is wrong and the umpire needs to be taken to task for being in...

We have a snowballs chance in hell unfortunately.
