The Tigers should wear their clash strip every game.   It stood out like dog's <deleted> when the opposition had a fist full of yellow jumper, and the umps called HOLDING THE MAN every time.

Forget to say how much playing in front of 90,000 plus 3 weeks in a row helped the Tiges.

 

Hopefully, one day the GF will be played away from the G.

Adelaide were the " home team".  Richmond were the visitors and called at the toss of the coin.

Enjoy the beer tonight.

I was Purrrrrfering a Tiger victory, as you all know I'm a Hardwick fan, will 1980 and 2017 be similar? back then the Tigers came from nowhere to take the cup then quickly disappeared for the next 36 years.....13th to top.

 

Meanwhile trade talks have increased with speculation Stringer is Dons bound was meant to be announce yesterday ex partner came out a few days earlier saying he has a gambling problem and 100 gees in the red plus took up a sexual relationship with a 17 year old Footscray supporter with full knowledge of her parents....

 

The hottest tip going around is Leaver is Demon bound, didn't see much of him in the 3rd when the Tigers began there roll...

 

The juggernaut of Abblet inc is that the stars will align for a sacred return to his happy hunting grounds of the surf coast. Romantically its a nice fairy tale ending to the illustrious career of one of the best midfielders ever the reality is at 34 he may play 1 and possibly 2 more seasons and sure to "bring something to the club" but that something will be very short lived and will hold back someone else he also wont come cheap, the Cats not flushed with midfield depth that can carry an old timer who will be sidelined for 6 or so games during the year...in my mind should pass and allow Gary to retire with surfboard under his arm...

 

GWS and 6 seasons later D Smith back in Vic and looking for a trade with Blues in the front seat at present, they also would like to get there hands on 24 year old team mate Mat Kennedy, Bolton says Gibbs has not renewed his request for a trade at present...there also in the mix for the Lions Rockcliff.

 

GWS might need a clean out becoming insular in there large space that is Sydney, fallen twice at finals time an injection of a few "experienced" types is needed this time rather than going for stars at the end of there career should be looking for a few that will hang around 5 to 7 ys....

 

The Crows? they faltered a few times during the season top team going into the finals with 6 or 7 losses out of 23 were never favourites in my mind though on paper yes...

 

In 2 weeks or so the best part of the season begins.......

Word on the Soi is that Melbourne have offered Lever around $850 000 for 5 years. <deleted> me gently. He's a very good player but

he's still only a HBF. For that type of money you want a match winner.

 

I hope the Suns play hard ball with the Ablett transfer. If Geelong don't offer to pay some of his salary and give a good player, I

agree, Gary can go surfing.

 

The first thing GWS should do is get a decent coach methinks.

Gavin Wanganeen played a bit of good footy off the half back flank....

I doubt he was paid $850 000 a year though

[sceadugenga]

He was worth $1.7 mil if they're giving Lever 850K....

I heard 750 big ones, looks like he could hold down a key position, at 23 i think has a ton of footy in him i like his defensive style, hopefully that could realise big Macdonald to play more up the ground and thats looking more like what will happen as my man J Watts has been over to the Power for a lookie see, the talk is he may be encouraged to find greener pastures ...do i hear the Blues calling?

 

Hey Ablett and the Cats should be made to pay until it hurts in the end the deal most likely will go through if only for the marketing side of the footy club..

 

Ahh you were reading my mind this morning WILL....i kinda am with you on the GWS coach, if Fj can pull his socks up in fantasy next season and get off 4th pretty good chance he might land the job there after missing out at North.

Caroline Wilson questions the motives behind Tracey Gaudry's sacking as Hawthorn's CEO after only five months at the helm.

 

https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/sport/afl/gaudrys-departure-raises-questions-over-hawthorn-20171002-gysyxh.html

 

".......Hawthorn has never struck me as one of the more sexist AFL clubs......."

 

Consider this possibility Caroline.   Hawthorn DID discriminate against all other candidates on the basis of sex.   Gaudrey was parachuted  into the position BECAUSE she was female,  and then found to be totally incompetent.

Crows talk tough after Leaver requests a trade to the Dee's, Pies are about to swoop and the Crows will entertain the best deal from any of the Vic clubs, his manger says talk to the Dee's or he may place himself in the pre season draft then they get nothing for the former number 1 draft pick, 10 years ago the Dee's let Scott Thompson go home after one season also a number 1 draft pick for a few bickies that the Crows payed out might be an idea for them to recall that, the Demons have offered picks 10 and 27 and thats pretty good in todays currency.

 

Rockcliff wants to go to Port, Suns want Mitch Duncan for G Ablett meanwhile Chris Scott is reported to have told up to 10 players in there exist meetings to start looking for new clubs.

 

Clarity is coming in that Goodwin has suggested to golden boy Watts to seek a new envoiroment with now Sydney front runners to secure him....is there a swap? Tippet for Watts and a first round draft pick?

 

And hot of the press and a blow to a trusty rusty TV CHOOK's is Scott Lucas the manger of one future star in the making has come out and flatly said his client Paddy McCartin is quote "going no where" end quote.

Yes its in the wind still nothing publicly The Dee's wont hold him after his dramatic year the question is what do Freo or the Eagles have to trade?

 

If Hogan and Watts go and we pick up a defender who the hell apart from MacDonald is going to be playing forward? We are seriously lacking if those two go.

Manager and managed going nowhere I guess.

Who’s going to be 2018 surprise?

Possibly the only cert is it ain’t the Dockers ,

I ‘d like to see the Saints come September.

Good song.

 

[farmerjo]

It's funny in this day and age that nobody can keep a secret.

The coach of the Suns announced before he's announced and pretty much the same with the big movers.

Hope there is a couple of smokeys to keep a little bit of interest in it.

Think North have learnt there lesson with free agents,if there not absolute A graders stay away.

With our own reserves team and a sheila's side in this year it holds the club in good stead to maybe have some success at a minor level and improve the League boys back to the Shinboners that i saw in the 90's.

 

Demon land is a top destination for players who like the longer off season break.

Were on the same cruise ship as you Fj, as for trades I'm sure it will heat up...theres a pool of not quite there but could be's anytime soon if there coached right players and in a new environment just might go go go..

 

Glad we stayed out of throwing millions and swillions at so called superstars none of these mega$ boy's clubs have won a flag to date so I'm guessing the flavour of luring as become some what unsweet to the palate...better to develop and top up with some solid types that dont cost the earth.

Essendon seems to be the go to or want to go to team for players this year.  The syrup must still be good and flowing.  Devon Smith, Jake Stringer and Adam Saad all requesting trades to the Bombers.  They aren't free agents so the Bombers will have to come up with some goods to get all 3 and Essendon play dirty in trade time.  Devon Smith will probably make it to Essendon with the Bombers pick 11 but the other 2 may find themselves at the mercy of the draft if the Bombers play hard.
