Disagree, despite sterotypes, the hawks and bombers fans have the Pies covered from my experience.

The AFL definition of veteran was they had to be in their eleventh season on the primary list at THE SAME CLUB and be at least 30 on the 30 September that season. Gram is not a veteran. He was traded in to St Kilda from Brisbane for the 2004 season so he will qualify as veteran in 2014. Hayes, Kosc...

I'm pretty sure the Filth don't get anything from this game. It is always a Dreamon home game and they always get the proceeds. From what I understand the Filth would be happy not to play on the Queen's Birthday but do so because the AFL wants them to with the AFL thowing the Dreamons a bone and it...

Next year?

Could all work out quite peachy could it not?

My understanding is the new Vets list rule is, 10 years of service regardless of age, so next year would be correct.

Roo would be on the veterans this year wouldn't he? Hasn't it changed this year? If not, only $100K of his salary will be on the veterans list next year, from how I believe the new vet list system works. And it sounds like BJ wants to have a better year than he did last year, before signing a new c...

Actually now when you look at it, the two first rounders for little Gary, and the introduction of free agency I think things might fall the way of the Cats again. They will drop off a bit, but think they'll turn it around quicker than people think.

I hope BJ stays a Saint for life but if he does go to GWS as long as we get a pick in the top 5 and another in the top 10 (eg, picks 3 and 8), I'll be happy. :D :P :lol: Won't happen because he's a free agent. We do not have any negotiating power whatsoever. If Goddard wanted to go to GWS or Freo h...

I love Joey but is he serious trad bait for the 2012 draft? If we trade Joey and lets say gram or ray to S for their first round pick plus keep ur we get two more gun kids we are well on the way to another strong list?? It just seems Joey hasnt stepped into the elite category of goddard, dal and fi...

Probably only increases pressure on Goddard, because it will narrow the focus of the media. Most of the talk will now be BJ and Cloke, which isn't ideal.

I've been told this place shows all the aussie sports.

Might be worth checking though.

Interesting read cheers… I wonder if Tambling had gone to the Hawks and Buddy had gone to the Tigers if they would be different players due to the support and development they received… I have read that Buddy didn't go at number 1 because he was a bit too relaxed and even laconic leading up to the ...

13 out of 19 nominated us as the sliders while 11 chose Freo as the team on the rise. I understand the logic. Saints with stars on the wane and a shallow pool of youngsters having lost supercoach who had them overachieving with a radical game plan. Freo super talented list held back by mediocre coa...

Reiwoldt would be/will be getting a fair chunk of the marketing allowance so its hard to say. But i'd say he'd still be getting 400k.

Gram big contract finishes next year. Same with Roo. i probably wouldnt re-sign either unless on huge cuts. Agree, wouldnt have gram on huge money any more. Wouldn't be the first bloke to have a big year in his last year of a contract, but couldn't see being in the top five again. Assuming that is ...

I like the OX on SEN normally but he would have to be the worst commentator I have EVER heard. Worse even than Derwayne Russell. Surely Dwayne is the worst!! Ox very good radio personallity, but went to the Luke Darcy captain obvious school of special comments. But unfortunately he's commentating t...

And some of the game's biggest names also feature among 19 restricted free agents, including Collingwood's Travis Cloke, Saint Brendon Goddard and Richmond's Brett Deledio.

The official list of players is here; http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/ ... fault.aspx.

If roo went closer to goal, what would you do with kosi?

Also, the game is being broadcast on 1116 SEN from four. talk about a greater focus on pracie matches these days.. So are SEN actually broadcasting the game, or are they broadcasting their show (i.e.The Run Home) from the game? There is a big difference. No the actual game will be broadcast, "...

Also, the game is being broadcast on 1116 SEN from four.

Looks like Collingwood have made these changes;

IN: Goldsack, Ball, Thomas, Toovey, Shaw.
OUT: Buckley, Ugle, Williams, Hartley, Mooney.

they'd be nearly full strength?? Should be a good hit out.

I think they had to reel it in a bit otherwise every draft would be compromised too heavily every year. I guess the argument would be if a club gets 8-10 years out of a player before they leave one picks probably adequate. The article also doesn't specify where the picks would be mid first round/ en...

He's actually a St Kilda supporter..maybe he's trying to fire the boys up. Sometimes these guys make extreme statements to keep the show interesting...it's the entertainement industry after all.... Isn't Gerard a Swans supporter considering he played out his career with them? Agree with your last s...
