Wow. Dud deal. Bombers big winners.
Disappointed

10.09AM: OLD ENEMY GIVING TIGERS THE BLUES Richmond rising star Ben Lennon is out of contract and (Tigers fans look away now) reports suggest Carlton might be trying to convince the young forward to enter the pre-season draft, where the Blues could snap him up for nothing. http://www.afl.com.au/new...

Would I be right in thinking we hold all the cards in this trade? Say negotiations brake down with Essendon and the deal doesn't get done in trade period. We are offering him a heavily front loaded contract which would mean he'd go into the PSD with a huge price on his head for that first year. I ca...

Ross made a great little summary of who in the squad is looking to step up after trade period: To become a good AFL player you’ve got to do a strong apprenticeship, unless you’re absolutely special. The ones we’re looking to improve are David Armitage and Jack Steven as well as Jarryn Geary , ...

Maybe we should take a leaf out of this book.

+1 Luke who?

I do like the concept of 'Saints footy'... and the thought of any other team trying to play it is pretty funny. Maybe the Tigers should give it a crack. hadn't thought of that! haha Pretty clever marketing coining "saints footy" and having our clubs campaign based around what other clubs ...

20 players had surgery... and only two doing full training! This is a worry. This article from a week ago paints a totally different picture: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/nick-riewoldt-avoids-knee-surgery-and-will-have-a-full-pre-season-with-st-kilda/story-e6frf9ix-1225806318923 They can't ...

3 Roo supporters have left less than flattering comments at the foot of the Herald Sun story. Sounds a bit like Saintsation re Luke Ball It's pretty much exactly the same circumstances. Except JWS came out and had a shot at the Roos and their facilities... I think we should be able to understand mo...

they've written this article from the interview jesse and ross made just after he was drafted weeks ago... must be a slow news week

Moran would be an international rookie like Walsh. We don't have to draft him, we just have to choose whether or not to sign him. Downside is Irishmen don't go on the international rookie list as part of an agreement to mollify the Irish and keep the international rule series barely conscious. So h...

This is probably a stupid question but after the draft where does this leave Moran?

Thought it might be worth mentioning Collingwood had a part to play in this saga as well... is it possible they led Ball/Connors down the garden path? I guess it's connor's job to make sure this doesn't happen. We'll never really know what was said but this is the timeline as i saw it... Collingwood...

anyone know when walsh is arriving? All i could find was from last months Herald Sun article when we signed him... http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/irish-lament-gaelic-stars-defection-to-afl/story-e6frf9jf-1225789033919 "Walsh is expected to arrive early next month." "... teamma...

Agreed. Our logo is a classic and neither of these come close to ours. But in comparison to what they had before they aren't THAT bad... http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/6195/brisbane.png brisbane's previous logo was awful! and if i was one of their supports as long as they kept the fitzroy lion o...

As well as signing Tommy Walsh this week, St Kilda have taken his team mate David Moran on a two week trial. The Kerry natives are GAA club teammates at Kerins O'Rahillys and coincidently Moran replaced Walsh as a substitute in the recent All Ireland final victory against Cork. It is also rumoured ...

Sweet! hope this is true!!
any word on the other kerry player David Moran?

Well we don't get anything out of him going. The only thing is if it is possible to mend the bridges that have been burnt... I'm really happy with the way the club and Ross have dealt with this. They have played it very straight the whole way and were clear from the start that they weren't intereste...
