Buddy Hell not again! Franklin boards flight back to the US.

Bevo's brave Bulldogs brave bad weather to bravely beat the Swans in Grand Final replay.

Cyril Cyril Cyril! McAvaney busts a nut in the commentators box while calling Hawks game.

Carlisle and Gresham for Craig Bird and Francis, damn I wish we had those guys instead
Slight fallacy here.

From Essendon we gave up Carlisle, p44 and a one pick downgrade in the mid 20s for Bird & p5 (Francis)

St Kilda gave up 5 and 24 for Carlisle and 14 (Gresham)

Sydney swapped Bird & 14 for 23 & 44 to boost academy points

Win win win trade. Bird's just there as a salary dump and to sweeten things for the swans but also gives a mature body for the young bombers. I still think Francis will be the best of these players but Gresham looks a ripper too and Carlisle can play if he can get his head right.

Personally, I always liked Bird when he was at the Swans. Reliable, committed and the right attitude. A good man to influence a young team.

For starters:

1. Goodes Demands Apology - for, well, anything really.
2. Hot Dogs - after they beat the bottom team by 20 points.
3. Danger Shock - Dangerfield spotted on surfboard without suit or camera crew.

Plus:

4. Hodge: I Really Am a Good Bloke - after he mysteriously misses suspension again.
5. Boyd Among Men - after Boyd kicks multiple goals against the bottom team.

Main headlines will be in September. Front pages will be dominated by a big share market crash while the back pages will be dominated by the following:

Director of coaching fiasco as Buckley quits - Deja vu for Eddie:
Collingwood playing poorly in the first 7 weeks of the season and then Eddie plans to appoint assistant coach Scott Burns as new coach at the end of the season and appoint Buckley as new director of coaching to lessen the pain of the sacking. Collingwood then start finding good form with minimal injuries and finish 6th at the end of the season, winning 1 final. Buckley, regretting agreeing on the planned changes earlier in the season, decides he no longer wants the director of coaching job and quits the club.

Bontempelli wins the Brownlow medal.

Sydney win an epic grand final, defeating GWS by under a goal.

A team with a big following loses in rd 1
Headline and story about why they are no good and what changes are needed.
Same team wins the next 3 games
Headline and story about why they can win the flag
Same theme with any gum player that has a bad game, enter story about what's wrong. Later that year he's playing well, contrived article and interview spread with same gun player on what's made him tick.
