That's not all, story going around is he's told his teammates who are thinking of jumping ship that they should get out now whilst they can.

Imo that's a s**t attitude to have from a player at a club let alone skipper & leader, with him asking to be traded surely there's no way he can retain the captaincy going forward? Not that he was captain material anyway, would give it to Lynch asap.
WE SHOULD JUMP ON SUCH A DEAL!

Oh right :(
 

If you include GAA then you'd also have to include rugby which would make playing professional football in 4 countries an unremarkable stat when you'd have guys that would've played in Australia, NZ, England, Wales, France, South Africa etc etc.
GAA isn't professional.
 
"We haven't made a decision." - Gillon McLachlan

This was in context about the time of day for the GF, but the quote just seems to apt for Mr Non-Commit.
Could easliy end up being the quote that defines his entire reign as the head of the AFL.

The SANFL were just as culpable.

Because the drongos counted preseason and night premiership games alongside proper league games...

To quote Gary Window:

"That really puts a ping in my bum!"

Well, it used to. When I still gave a s**t about the SANFL. Yeah, nah.

But how hard would it be to get the Assistant to Mr. Millbank to tally up the Escort/Foundation Cup games between 1976-1992?

They can do that after they've updated the club honour boards that are stuck in 2013...

Technically they only have to use 2 First Rounders in 4 years, not first rounders in 2 years out of 4. So if they trade in another next year, they're fine. They haven't broken any rules yet.

Now, whether the AFL actually will punish them if they don't get that second first rounder next year? That remains to be seen.

The AFL will do jack s**t to victorian based clubs. They can do no wrong, and Gillon doesn't like making decisions like that.
 
Swans have delisted Xavier Richards ... wanted to go to a Vic club but no trade was done

Oh yeah, no doubt he is a gun (one of my favourite non-port players). Just kinda interesting with the rumour around. But they are just that. Rumours
