Bruce has clearly showed excellent forward craft in previous consecutive seasons at the Saints, but it cannot be argued that he showed little to none of this craft in 2020. I'd go a step further and...

At least the article didn't have a picture of Dale Morris. Also lucky Gerard Healy didn't pen the article, otherwise Brad Boyd would have been our selection.

The recruitment of Trengove was either a big failure of the coaching/match committee or a big failure of the recruiting/list management team. Either way it was a big failure.

It feels like forever since we have seen a genuinely fresh face from another club system join our coaching team - perhaps Joel Corey was the last one? Good to see and hopefully he can bring in some...

Some wag on FB suggested Treloar should wear 1.5 in deference to Collingwood's portion of his future salary

Can Williams transition to part of the midfield rotations this season? I'd love his delivery by foot to be deployed further up the ground on occasions in game.

It's an impressive feat no doubt. But I love the players, especially non-ruckmen, who continue to carve out a career every single year despite being the 40th-44th person to get a list spot in any...

Reid is an awesome eker but he loses points for not being on the main GWS list for 2 seasons while he was development coach. Of the non-rucks, Jacob Townsend and Mitch Brown are both putting together...

One of the joys of the off-season is hearing precious little from entitled dickheads like Dangerfield. Hasn't he got some waves to catch down at Moggy Creek and leave us all the fark alone until next...

Sounds an awful lot like Boumann

I bet Eddie and the filth were the first club consulted about this drastic policy change (about 3 weeks before everyone else) prior to the trade period starting and duly took out the trash in advance...

The AFEL really is a pissant flophouse amateur-hour competition. Even if we hold our ground and pay him $600k a season (assuming that is the agreed terms of the trade), if the AFEL grant the filth...

I wanted a lot more from him mid season (after the Richmond debacle), and to be fair to him he absolutely delivered on that for the rest of the year - I reckon he was best player in the comp from...

This arsehole entitled attitude neatly encapsulates why they were, are, and always will be the filth. Dirty club.

Bucks might have spent some time on the courts with Alicia Molik but I'm not sure his tennis has improved any.

Being a Damian Barrett penned article, you can be sure his sources are 100% from the Holden Centre.

Aside from the bad faith negotiating by the filth, this is a dreadful look for the AFEL. Is this...

What's the go here? How can a trade be finalised without ALL the financial terms already agreed to? What sort of tin pot amateur hour competition is this?

I...

Of the 3, Roarke is a fair way ahead of Hayes and Cavarra as a depth player who will perform solidly at senior level - I'm very happy for him to have a spot on our rookie list.

I hope we keep our...

I know he cops a bit on here but if Roarke Smith ends up being the 42nd best player on our list, we will have a pretty good list.

Agreed. Ruckmen need to give odds, like Elaine did in 'The Contest' on Seinfeld.

Keegan Brooksby just got another 12 month contract extension at the Hawks. Drafted in 2015 by Gold Coast and has since played at West Coast and Hawthorn. 15 games in 5 consecutive completed seasons...

I worry about his absolute competitiveness to want to win every single contest he is involved in, but there's absolutely no doubt he worked much better in sync with Naughts up forward in 2019 than...

Your point about some of our mids preferring 40 possessions and losing instead of 18 and winning reminds me very much of Cotchin. He was a perennial 35-40 possession 'do everything' mid for the first...

900k a year this clown gets paid. City Hall are so detached from reality.

As an aside, hasn't Dusty come a long way since Mr Miyagi and some stray chopsticks?

Sigh. There are so many existing levers that City Hall could use to reduce congestion and increase the speed of ball movement (and then increase scoring) but all they do is tinker around the edges...

How could I forget old microphone head. Did the number proud

#1 has some big shoes to fill. Such Bulldog luminaries as Suckers, Faz, Winmar, Willsy and Loaf. Didn't Shannon Rusca also have #1, even though he never played a senior game?

Premiership teams are lucky to get the Sunday after the flag to have some media exposure before the scribes start talking endlessly about a borderline delist candidate having morphed into Polly...

I'd like us to have a look at Majak Daw as a DFA. We do need insurance in key defensive stocks and Daw can also pinch hit in ruck or up forward if we have a spate of injuries in those areas during...

Had they won that 2018 flag, the ends would have justified the means. Losing by a kick probably incentivised them to top up with Beams as they were legitimately so close to a premiership, and on...

We didn't. Essendon did.

Fairly or otherwise, he will struggle to get a look-in behind Bruce. Clearly he showed better synergy up forward with Naughts in late 2019 than Bruce did in 2020.

He needs to get crazy fit to be...

Ryan O'Keefe was jilted during trade week and 12 months later he was a premiership player and Norm Smith medallist

Dunks is an inside mid beast, which is exactly what Essendon lack. Treloar is a superior version of Shiel which they already have.

Ned Guy refused to comment on it last night as well. It is definitely true, otherwise the denials would be screamed from the top of Mt Everest.

Collingwood must have been in absolutely horrendous...

What I've heard is that Zach Merrett is very much on their radar as a FA in 2021. Merrett not happy at the Bummers apparently and is biding his time for 12 months.

Thankfully, 1 of the 3 medals is around his girlfriend's neck

I'd be just as happy with that, although I suspect Dusty would spend 60% or even more of his time forward of centre

Maybe he thought Jason McCartney was still our list manager. Although even he managed to screw Dodo on the Shiel deal 12 months after the Stringer negotiations.
