Good old Essendon. Any shortcut to avoid a proper rebuild.

That 7,700+ day streak is going to continue for a fair while.

Gettable now suggesting that Lever and Fritsch want to stay at the Demons.

(note: I didn't listen to the episode, only read a synopsis)

The players kicked him out!

According to Tom Morris, Hawks are chasing Butters and also having a go at Harley Reid

The Hawks have a lazy $3.5 million free in the salary cap, even after bringing in Barrass and Battle on the best part of $2 million?

Well he would play every week for them, they might be able to pay him more than most but if he wants to play finals anytime soon he should have given them a miss.

SUN TO DECIDE ON FUTURE

GOLD Coast utility Connor Budarick is weighing up a two-year offer from the Suns and hopes to decide on his future "sooner rather than later".

As previously revealed on AFL.com.au, Budarick has interest from a host of rival clubs most notably from the Western Bulldogs.

In and out of the team since Damien Hardwick has taken over as coach, Budarick has found a home in the Suns' 22 as a pressure forward over the past seven weeks.

A Gold Coast Academy product, he will line up for his 50th game on Saturday against Carlton.

Budarick has been in the AFL for six years and accepting the two-year contract offer would take him to free agency.

"It'd be hard to leave a side when you're performing really well," he told AFL.com.au. "And obviously, individually, when you're playing well too.

"Those conversations (between club and management) will happen, hopefully sooner rather than later, but I've got to focus on playing well and push my case to show I'm important."

Along with Jy Farrar and Ben Long, Budarick has added a defensive tenacity to the forward line that has helped Gold Coast into sixth position on the ladder. – Michael Whiting

Mofra is all in on Budarick as a lock down defender. I wonder what his preferred position is?

Connor Budarick from the Suns in case anyone does a search.

[Mofra]

He's a defender for mine. I assume that's what we're sounding him out for.

Saw something about Cal Wilkie possibly on the move at year’s end. It’s a big yes from me.

Thought he had a long contract, but only till 2027. We should be going hard at Wilkie, he could be our Brian Lake at Hawks trade.

This from Fox, Rucci
“St Kilda have been actively looking to spend money — the fallout is Callum Wilkie will seek his options elsewhere. Jack Steele will explore greener pastures, as will Marcus Windhager. As for Rowan Marshall, he’s going somewhere!”

What a shit club.

Absolutely. He is great and what we need. He (along with Butters) should be our top priority

[doggies ftw]

Mate we need to be all over Cal Wilkie, he’s exactly the type of guy who would excel in our system and act as that one-on-one anchor we need. Absolute stud of a defender.

This is the sort of move that could literally win you a flag, if he’s gettable we leave no stone unturned in chasing him IMO, whatever it costs is worth it for a proper crack at a flag or two over the next few years. The kind of guy that could change the whole make up of the backline. I like Silvagni too but not even close to Wilkie in how theyd each fit.

He (or an unobtainable guy like Weitering or Andrews) should be our #1 target. Increases our odds of winning a flag more than Butters imo.

The supporters will riot if they lose him.
For what it's worth I think some in the media are talking crap to help Nas move to SA.
