    Swans Boss says rivals should PAY for poaching Northern academy kids

    Andrew Pridham reckons clubs should pay a fee of $200k for academy developed kids if they draft them and those clubs can't/don't match. https://www.afl.com.au/news/1508432/swans-boss-calls-for-draft-tax-on-clubs-who-poach-northern-talent "They've changed the rules so we've got to live with it...

    Port and Carlton will be a problem for the AFL this year...

    So after the bright sparks at AFL house decided to tamper with the draft even further, the ladder finishing positions of both Port Adelaide and Carlton now pose a very significant problem for the AFL come end of season. With all the efforts to reduce tanking in recent years, the AFL have...

    Club Focus Melbourne 2026

    Melbourne clearly made some big moves in the offseason, with the departures of Oliver and Petracca and, to a lesser extent, Judd McVee. Steven May has been banished to the shadow realm(dunno why they didn't just pay him out but that's neither here nor there), so Turner will get more opportunity...

    Recommitted Patrick Cripps [UFA 2027] - name was floated for a move in 2025, stayed

    So, uhhh, apparently he wants out of Carlton and to move back to WA at the end of the year, according to the Carlton board. Thoughts on where he lands and how much he would cost? 31yo next season, with 2 years to run on his contract. Been durable though. WCE tragic growing up and cousin...

    Backfire Harley Reid tells Sam Mitchell to GAGF

    After Cal Twomey's report that Hawthorn have been obsessed with Harley and prepared to pay upwards of $2m to make it happen, all of a sudden they have a workman-like midfield and spending the money they were prepared to now 'would be difficult.' Clearly Sam's not taken the rejection well and...

    Think Tank Is this a joke?

    April 1st was a while back Collifloggos. You can't put out your normal matchday guernsey since 1981 and claim it as 'retro'.

    Recommitted George Wardlaw [OOC 2026] - name was floated for a move in 2025, stayed

    Unlike his draft buddy on Sheezel, this bloke's yet to commit long term to North and is out of contract next year. A rumour going around that he's set to ask for a trade at the end of this year(rumour on North board, take with a grain of salt). Taking his injury history into account, what's...

    Factcheckers: who checks the checkers?

    Interesting deep dive into Fact Checking site Snopes by Upper Echelon here, for those who want evidence of 'fact checkers' having a political bias.

    Think Tank Are Essendon West Coast Eagles-lite?

    Think about it. Everything this club does are mere attempts to mimic our success: 1. Get an absolute legend of the club to coach, who then goes on to oversee a messy drugs saga. 2. Get the same WCE coach who oversaw their drugs saga fallout to manage Essendon through theirs. 3. Pinch WCE GM of...

    Day trading

    Any day traders here? I've been mucking around for a few years but only really started to take it seriously recently with backtesting, etc. Feels like a cloud has lifted from my brain, lol. I've ridden the highs and lows of the crypto bullruns, from things like putting $100 in and having it be...

    Opinion Teams you actively avoid watching?

    For whatever reason, there are a number of teams that most people simply won't watch. I watch most games every weekend but generally avoid games involving the below 3, unless it includes my own team: Geelong WB Saints It may seem like a bit of a weird combination but hear me out: Geelong - I...

    Junior participation in QLD

    Down at Auskick in Coorparoo(Brisbane) for the intro session this morning and there must have been over 200 kids here. The bloke in charge said this Auskick centre is the third biggest in the whole of Australia, with Morningside(the next one over) being #2. When registering a couple of weeks...

    Would original expansion clubs have greater support if they named themselves after a state/area?

    Reading the GWS thread got me thinking that perhaps this was a great naming convention, by not limiting themselves to a suburb like calling themselves the 'Penrith Giants'. This, of course, got me thinking about West Coast vs Fremantle in regards to naming. Not that I'm suggesting Fremantle...

    With the imminent retirement of the legendary Dean Margetts...

    How long do we think it will take for Fremantle fans to finally attain self-awareness and realise that their team isn't actually hard done by, it's that their team is actually filled with no-skill shit trucks who have poor discipline? I'm going to go with 'Never'. Fremantle fans have a...

    Membership - The 100k club

    Richmond announced they reached 100k members earlier in the week and today West Coast have also announced they reached the 100k milestone. Obviously there's a lot of factors in play which influence a team's ability to reach these kind of numbers (Ground Size, support base, etc.,) however i feel...

    Gold Coast - Have they turned the corner?

    I must admit, I've been pretty impressed with GC's start to the season. I know they've had similar starts in the past before fading but they seem to be playing a more mature brand of footy this year. Also quite entertaining to watch, which is pretty important, considering their low fan-base and...

    Can an independent commission investigate the AFL for blatant cheating?

    That last 5 minutes was nothing short of actual corruption. Umpires CLEARLY on the take. When will someone stand up and investigate this tripe? AFL is about as legitimate as WWE.
