Before I start, the reason there are so many NMFC-adjacent players is because I know those more than others, I did it off the top of my head. Of the others, one's a West Australian and the others changed clubs, so they're more prominent in my mind. One of our captains and a guy who has...

If you've spent the last month declining trade offers, you can't be surprised when other clubs do the same thing, surely?

Sons of AFL footballers who play for a club their father did not play for: Josh Kelly Andrew and Angus Brayshaw Josh Dunkley Tom Mitchell Joe Daniher Jack Buckley Josh Schache Charlie Spargo Nick Blakey Jeremy McGovern That's just off the top of my head. I get the romance of it, but as I...

Father Son rule is a relic of the days when players were tied to a club based on where they lived - and the particular sentimentality of Ron Barassi Sr being killed in action. It's no longer relevant. If it means that much to a player and/or a club, they can trade up to get to the spot in...

Self-awareness not your strongest suit...

You seem quite upset that the trade didn't happen.

Rising Star winners haven't all had great careers.

They can still be traded, though.

Eagles fans only believe in overwhelmingly one-sided trades.

Now that Don Pyke has conceded the Eagles actually do want two top ten picks, I sincerely hope that Melbourne, Hawthorn and any other clubs whose P1 trade offers were treated with disdain simply refuse to pick up the phone...

You'll find out what we do next Monday night.

You make it sound like having five first-rounders this year is a bad thing...

Yeah, nah.

Gold Coast in 2019. Were able to pre-list an academy player prior to the draft, and also had Darwin added to their NGA zone. Also worth noting that Gold Coast actually received the above, whereas NMFC didn't get the access you're complaining about.

"On November 20, we'll take five first-round selections into the AFL National Draft to add further weight to our existing raft of recent early draft talent." The word "into" is right there.

She actually said we'll be taking five picks into the draft. There's some wiggle room there if they want to do something with the picks on the night.

NMFC president confirms no deal.

I never try to guess where anyone will go in a draft because I don't see enough footage. Curtin looks good but I feel like he was in those conversations simply because he is considered the best West Australian in a year when the Eagles have the number one pick. It's lazy punditry.
