    Not-a-cluey Dogs play up post finals loss - hub life blues

    Apparently a few dogs players partied a little hard post the loss and may have gone a little too far and may be a few deals done at the trade table. Reasonable names too. Talk that they are not the only club that has a few players futures being questioned after all clubs got to see how the...

    Simple solution whilst Vic gets on top of the virus - Two conferences

    The 8 teams from outside Vic form one, the teams in Vic form the other. Not perfect and will need some tweaking but it would buy the AFL the for Vic to sort out its issues and then hopefully we could get interstate travel going again.

    Hird - we (Bomber and him) let down by Essendon

    Bit rich IMO, given the old cause and effect. Worth noting how Hird treated Evans for trying to get the mess sorted out. Could have been resolved quickly and cleanly (like Cronulla) but someone did not want that. Bit rich for me...

    Thoughts on Goddard today?

    It will be passed off as 'he plays with passion' but I thought he was awful today. He is the sort of guy who can be a negative influence around the club and it might be time for them to ease him out of the side or talk to him of a mid year retirement. It has been a problem for a long time but...

    Look on the bright side Carlton fans, you made out like bandits on Squibbs

    Two first round picks for a bloke who cannot impose himself on a game. Just floats around getting cheap possessions when his side needs him to stand up 2 first round picks for a 30 year old soft utensil, you got it right.

    Rumour AFL coach gone already?

    Apparently a rumor around that an AFL coach is already getting his papers stamped. I have heard this second hand so no real details, anyone else heard anything? Could it be an AFLW coach? (just thought of that).

    Moved Thread AFL tips $25m into the Suns for 2017!!!

    AFR article today (can't link). The figure is an increase of $5.5m on 2016 contribution of $19.1m!!! The reason for the increase was a slump in sponsorship!!! A total of $24.7m tipped in for one year!! That's with selling a game overseas to boot. How much longer can this go on for and why is...

    Rumour The Push up King on the gear?

    Tom Lynch - could be in play!

    Some chatter around that the Suns/AFL are considering trading him to fast track the rebuild of the list as they do not believe he will leave the club at the end of 2018. Taking that into account they are considering just biting the bullet and fast tracking the rebuild of the list. No mention...

    Josh Bootsma

    Rumour Travis Cloke to 'retire'/be delisted

    Heard from a couple of sources that the end is nigh for Trav with the Dogs intending to pay him out and send him on his way. Trav was told about half way through the year. Sources both close the Dogs.

    Analysis Pies back SSM - right or wrong?

    http://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/news/2017-09-15/magpies-become-signatory-to-australian-marriage-equality I am not a fan of sporting clubs getting involved in politics as it will always upset someone. I wish they would just focus on footy, sick and tired of the club getting involved in social...

    Rumour Hogan homeward bound?

    Heard a whisper that he might want to head home and the Dees are understanding. Would result in a three way deal, with Hogan to Freo, Freo first pick to the Crows and Lever to Dees. That would be the guts of the deal with probably some minor work on the sides. Really just a consideration at...

    Jonathon Marsh

    Any chance of being picked up this year? Heard he has been playing some very good footy in the midfield for the bottom WAFL side. Spent all his junior career as a mid but in his final year of U18's was turned into the CHF for WA due to a lack of options. Resulted in him falling down the...

    Rumour Rumor - Hird being considered as Pies assistant coach

    Same source who got it right re Bucks and a 2 year extension before it was leaked pre the meeting. I really hope not.

    Rumour Clarko to the Pies?

    Recommitted Kurt Tippett

    Talk on SEN this morning that Sydney may be looking to put him on the market to free up cap space to try and keep Tom Mitchell. Given his lack of form relative to his dollars the view was that the Swans would need to pay a decent amount of his wage and the view was Brisbane were a logical...

    Should Rudd be backed for the UN Sec General Job?

    Bit of conjecture re whether Rudd will be backed by Australia for the role of UN Secretary General. Apparently the libs in all their wisdom could not make a decision at cabinet so its now a 'captains' pick aka poison chalice for Turnbull. Personally I can't see who any Govt could back Rudd for...

    Potential pay out - role of insurance

    Interested in getting the views of any insurance/legal types who post on the board re the role of insurance in any potential compensation claims. Given that Essendon has been found guilty of running an illegal doping program on its players: 1. does their insurance policies still cover them or...

    Rumour Leppitch to get the arse

    With further player discontent in Brisbane and chronic under performance on field leading to big financial losses the rumor is Leppa will not see out the year. With his good mate Swan running the show up there, don't be surprised if one Michael Malthouse makes the move North. AFL is desperate...

    Labor talks of another new tax - another free kick for Abbott

    Honestly, maybe its a good idea but it is dumb politics to start talking about another pontential tax at this point. This time a congestion/road usage tax. (Mods no link as it is from a news service). Just reinforcing the ALP stereo type, spend, borrow and raise taxes, can't believe he is...

    Should the AFL investigate the 'state' of AFL in SA?

    Honestly WTF is going on over there. We have two teams, one well resourced, meant to have a good list that cannot beat a drum. The other is a financial basket base that makes Norf look like a financial power house, has to put tarps up to hide the embarrasment of no one coming to watch...

    Robert Harvey - the forgotten man making his move

    Robert Harvey often overlooked when people talk for great players during the 90's and 00's is apparently getting ready to make a move on the Saints coaching position. Unsure if he is trying to push Lyon out or just position himself to be next cab off the rank if Lyon goes but the rumour is...

    Hobart gets cut price AFL games???

    According to the press in Tassie they have managed to cut the fee for games North play in Hobart to $500,000. Looks to be a long way short of the rumoured $800 - $900k that was being reported originally. The Tassie Govt has reported a big budget shortfall so I guess its no surprise that they...

    S&P downgrades US debt

    Massive implications for the worlds reserve currency and therefore the rest of the world. If this plays out as some suspect, Obama may be unelectable in a years time.

    North called before AFL commission to discuss finances

    So is this just 'routine', or are things getting worse at Arden St? Not good when their on field form probably means membership and gate takings will be lower than budgeted this year. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/afl-turns-up-heat-on-tv-rights-bidders-20110418-1dlor.html
