    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?

    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?

    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....

    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

    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...

    It's official.....Rogers pulls the pin..

    It's official... http://www.espncricinfo.com/the-ashes-2015/content/story/910541.html Kind of typical Rogers in many ways, quietly bowing out while most of the attention will be on Clarke and others. Gets to go out on top, with people still pleading for him to stay. Not many players get a...

    Where are St Kilda at?

    I think it's fair enough to begin this one. Where are St Kilda at? Answer: on track and ahead of schedule! Almost universally tipped as outright wooden spooners, lucky to maybe win a game or two, the Saints are 4-7 at the midway point of the season and well ahead of expectations. Two of those...

    Australian player ratings: Pakistan test series.

    Rogers: 88 runs @ 22. 5/10 Failed in the Second Test, but did dig in and make them earn his wicket in the First, which is more than can be said about some of the others. Warner: 239 runs @ 60 9/10 Showed controlled aggression for the most part, with the emphasis on "controlled". Will still...

    Matador Cup Number Whatever-It-Is: South Australia vs Tasmania

    South Australia 3/156 in the 25th over.....not a bad bowling effort from Tassie at this ground. SA were going well with McDonald and Head, but lost 3 wickets fairly quickly. Cooper leading the rebuild so far. Tumbleweeds are blowing through the commentary box thick and fast as Chappelli drags...

    Matador OD Cup Match 19: NSW vs Tasmania

    NSW struggled all the way through their innings, although a mini-rearguard saw them reach 172 (Carters and Cummins making 38 each the only significant scorers, wickets shared around). Tassie 0/21 off 4. GEM only showing the NSW innings, now showing sitcom repeats instead of the rest of the...

    Rumour "Big story" involving Melbourne?

    Just on SEN before, Ox and Mark Allen doing the news preview thing with Tim Watson. Tim talks about some AFL story that they will break on the bulletin tonight. Ox: It wouldn't happen to involve Melbourne, would it Tim? TW: No Ox, why do you say that? Ox: Oh no...just heard there was something...
