    Recommitted Tom Atkins [extended to 2027]

    There's been speculation and whispers about "Clubs coming for Tom Atkins". Would be perfect for a team like West Coast, full of young mids getting battered from pillar to post because there's little experience there to protect them. Assume Geelong want to keep him, but would be interesting to...

    Rumour Simon Goodwin's odd comments about Max Gawn

    Seriously, could the guy have handled this any worse? By hinting at something "going on in his personal life" but then not elaborating, it's left the door open for all sorts of nuffie speculation. If it's something very personal and private like a death or illness in the family, why even go...

    Recommitted Jacob Hopper [OOC 2029]

    With Richmond very clearly needing to rebuild, I have seen some commentary from Tigers fans (here and elsewhere) that they should try to get Hopper and his big long-term contract off their books. Basically the same sort of speculation as Melbourne with Clayton Oliver. There's been a lot of talk...

    Delisted Mitch Hardie

    Geelong's 2023 Mid Season Draft Pick. Racking up the possessions and coaches votes in the VFL, but just cannot crack the senior team despite our midfield woes. Suggests for whatever reason, he is not in the picture at the Cattery, and will almost certainly look elsewhere if he doesn't get a...

    Recommitted Patrick Dangerfield - new 2yr deal

    https://www.sen.com.au/news/2024/05/06/report-crows-make-audacious-bid-to-lure-dangerfield-back-to-adelaide/ So.....Apparently this is a thing. At first glance, I wonder if this is just a bit of funny buggers with Danger out of contract at the end of the year. But supposing it is actually...

    Delisted Tarryn Thomas

    Like it or not, the narrative is getting out there. Cynics are fully expecting a 'rehabilitation roadshow' with Tarryn Thomas, and the AFL signing off on him being allowed to continue his AFL career at another club. Would you draft him? Does your club need him? Moral/ethical debates aside...

    Traded Jack Lukosius - Joins Port Adelaide as part of a 3-way trade with Collingwood and Gold Coast

    On SEN this morning there was discussion that Lukosius was unhappy with being moved back into defence at the Suns, and that "clubs think he might be gettable". Adelaide boy, and both SA teams have an ageing KPF who will need replacing in the short-term. If he's determined to play forward, he'd...

    Unrestricted Free Agent Jed Bews

    Clearly on the outer now at Geelong, with a fairly settled backline and the likes of Mullin being preferred over him. At 30, he might be worth a look from a younger inexperienced team who just want an older head and mature body around the place? Geelong would probably even delist him to allow...

    Traded Port Adelaide trade their 2024 F1 to Fremantle for Pick 22 and 2024 F2

    As some predicted, Port trade their F1 to help those deals get done.

    Free Agency Joel Hamling - [Joins Sydney as UFA, No Compo]

    Sydney and North interested, apparently. I guess if he could remain fit, he'd be a useful enough cheap-as-chips stopgap KPF to balance the loss of McCartin/McKay.....

    Retired Sam Menegola [retired]

    Has had a few solid outings in the VFL after missing the first half of the season with injury. But is probably now behind the younger brigade (Atkins, Holmes, Bruhn) as a starting midfielder in the Cats best 22. If he wanted to go for guaranteed game time, we probably wouldn't stand in his way...

    Josh Rachele on Jack Buckley

    Full on roundhouse haymaker aimed straight to the head/neck. How many weeks?
  13. MisterMarcus

    Traded Cooper Stephens - Traded to Hawthorn as part of Henry/Mitchell deal

    With us potentially bringing in Bruhn and Bowes, and perhaps looking to offload some fringe players for picks/spots, his name has started to come up as a potential trade. 188cm/86kg inside midfielder who hasn't yet established himself in the team (although injury hasn't helped). He'd be very...

    Recommitted Bailey Scott [re-signed to 2024]

    Apparently Geelong are very keen on him. Not sure what his worth would be, how do North fans rate him?
  15. MisterMarcus

    Recommitted Brad Hill [OOC 2024] - reportedly open to a trade, links to North Melbourne

    Word is apparently Brad Hill is "open to" a trade from the Saints to another club, despite still having two years to run. https://www.afl.com.au/news/823965/contracted-saint-bradley-hill-swan-lewis-melican-open-to-trades-pies-eye-crows-tall His big contract might mean that Saints have to...

    Recommitted Esava Ratugolea [OOC 2023] - Ended up staying at Geelong

    Doesn't seem anywhere for him now with Hawkins, Cameron, Blicavs, Stanley and Ceglar. Be interesting if anyone puts their hand up, considering a team would likely get him for minimum chips. Perhaps a team like St Kilda as a stop-gap Ryder replacement who could help out King and Marshall?

    Recommitted Braydon Preuss

    (I thought there was already a thread on Preuss, but if there is, I can't find it) SEN this morning suggested that North have decided to stick by Goldstein and back him in to recapture his best form, and would be prepared to entertain offers for Preuss. The two main suitors listed were the...

    Recommitted Chris Mayne

    Well, Buckley has signalled that Collingwood are effectively going to try and boot him out the door. If he could he picked up for virtually nothing and paid minimum chips, he might have some interest from teams looking for more forward pressure, or even just another 'third tall' target. On the...

    Traded Pat McKenna, Pick 51 and 69 to Melbourne, Pick 57 and 59 to GWS

    No idea who this guy is tbh, but Melbourne have traded for him. Apparently...

    Delisted Xavier Richards [requested trade to Victoria - delisted]

    I guess with Buddy, Tippett, Reid, and their plethora of ruckmen, Richards would find it hard to cement a permanent place. No reporting on where he prefers to be traded yet, though....

    Traded Hawthorn trade 2017 1st round pick, Picks 23 and 36 to St Kilda, receive Saints' Pick 10 and 68

    Big help for the JOM trade....

    Status in Question Chris Yarran "yet to prove he's going to even play again"

    So according to John Ralph on SEN today, Chris Yarran is in doubt of even playing at the highest level again due to his "personal issues". https://www.sen.com.au/news/2016/10/05/jon-ralph-discusses-chris-yarran-and-brett-deledio/ Of course you can argue that the headlines and commentary are...

    St Kilda v Western Bulldogs

    No thread for this yet? Doggies have started well in the first few minutes. Should be an entertaining game between two young-ish teams...

    "Transfer system" for Test cricket?

    So this was interesting. A proposal from the ACA, to basically turn Test cricket into a bunch of T20-style franchises instead of being purely nation-based...

    Australian player rankings

    Burns (265 runs @ 44): 7/10. Started off brilliantly, then fell away as the series progressed. Would like another big one in the next few Tests. Warner (592 runs @ 99): 10/10. Flat pitches, weak bowling, fast outfield, blah blah blah. The bloke made nearly 600 runs at 100, including a double...

    New Order: Music Complete

    As long time fan of New Order (and JD), I have to say I am really digging this album. Their best since Technique for sure. * They've gone back to their dance/electronic 80s sound. * They actually take some risks and try some interesting things instead of coasting along in third gear. The...

    Geelong "fringe" players: Jansen, Simpson, Walker

    Probably doesn't belong in the other Geelong thread, but none of these names are significant/interesting enough for their own thread. Jansen has requested a trade to Brisbane, and AFL.com.au reports that a deal is "getting done". Simpson was reported to have been snapped up by GWS, although...

    Matador Cup Game 9: South Australia vs Queensland

    SA win the the toss and bowl. Kane Richardson gets two wickets with the first two balls of the game. Burns and Labuschange golden ducks....

    Matador Cup Match 7: CA XI vs Tasmania

    Well, we might get a competitive match involving the CA XI. The young'uns are making a good fist of it batting first, 1/88 at drinks. Marcus Harris comes good with 50*

    My Ashes ratings

    I think the title is pretty self-explanatory...... Rogers (480 runs @ 60): 9/10. Second highest run scorer, best average, contributions in every match, in tough batting conditions. Easily our best and most consistent player. Warner (418 runs @ 46): 7/10. Many of his runs came in second...
