Looks like it will be Lyon to Fremantle - means 6 clubs will have a new coach next year! http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/ross-lyon-to-coach-fremantle-20110915-1kbmh.html

Great post. Yes we were terrible last night - but don't boo the team. I think some maturity is in order. The team out there last night was much the same as the one that knocked off the Dogs - after the dogs game everyone was singing their praises, now people are demanding public...

Was just checking out the list of people given permission to train with Brisbane and it appears Voss has completely lost it. BRISBANE LIONS Claye Beams (Labrador) Niall McKeever (Ireland) Possibly recruited for next time Fev is blind??

Rookie draft at end of 2004 (I think). Purely on that basis a good deal. Pick 16 about as good as we could of hoped.

Ludicrous to suggest we have to get rid of Hurley. He's young. This doesn't excuse his alleged actions but equally they don't taint him forever. This is a situation where the club, teammates, family and friends need to work with him. The responsibility of a player not to bring shame on the...

Nice work Bruno. I still have a few concerns regarding Matthew Knights as a coach. Most of these have been mentioned above - some selection decisions etc, but also that on game day I believe he is prone to getting out thought at present. Maybe this is a reflection on assistant coaches...

Yep, nab cup is a notoriously good guide to a side's chances in the real thing - I mean the last premiers have been St Kilda, Carlton, Geelong, Carlton, St Kilda, Adelaide...haven't they?? We didn't play well. You didn't play well. We won. Can argue all year who had more players out who...

Seriously hope Mitchell doesn't get a gig with us. Good mate of mine is involved at Carlton and has poor opinion of him - decent coach, terrible bloke. Was a very destabilising influence at Carlton - admittedly they were basket cases to begin with but I don't think that's what we want right now.

I'm not unhappy with how trade week unfolded for us. We shopped Bradley, MJ and Dyson around and ultimately didn't get an offer we felt was worthwhile. Bradley for pick 40 would only have been acceptable if he was desperate to get home and we were trying to do the right thing by him...

Is it just me or has Bomber learnt a few lessons from Sheedy? Contract expiring....the club he played for and is a legend at in need of a coach....maybe he'll have fairytale homecoming and be the saviour.... Sound familiar?? Ultimately all the speculation RE Bomber is just that -...

We shouldn't be trading Gumby. Sure he didn't set the world on fire this year, but we didn't draft him for this year - we drafted him for the future. On the basis that he didn't do great things in his first year we would have traded Hird, Lucas, Lloyd etc after their 1st years. I would love...

For me Gone next year - Dyson - going nowhere Hird Camporeale - enough said already Bolton - please!! Cole - unless consistently in team from here And 1 of Mark Johnson - unless improves from here Kepler Bradley Heffernan Lee Doubt...

Being a fast team isn't just about leg speed. It is also about ball movement, disposal and decision making. We have improved a lot with leg speed - Davey, Jetta, Winderlich, Lovett - but generally our decision making has been better and we are hitting more targets. In 2000 we weren't the...

Great work Ant555 - appreciate the effort! Sounds like Bachar won't be far off a senior debut. Interesting that Bolton was the Emergency taken to Adelaide. Personally would have picked Dyson - suppose Bolton has more strings to his bow - even if none of them are particularly good.

He wasn't at Essendon last year - remember that! Didn't see anything that made me unhappy we got rid of him.

Ok, before we all go and slash our wrists over tonight..... 1. Only the nab cup - notoriously poor predictor of what'll happen in the real season - ie Geelong and Carlton in recent years. 2. Played Carlton who are at similar preparation stage to us - had we played Sydney or some other 2006...

Thrilled to get Mal - can finally look forward to playing Port Adelaide without getting palpitations RE Tredrea. In terms of the dodginess factor, I think this one is on the level - though I can understand why Brisbane are pissed - but I think it has the potential to open up a can of worms...

Good move all round by Essendon. Put senior players on notice that nothing is assured - not even for a dual Crichton medalist like JJ. His season this year was unacceptable - even with injuries allowed. We needed to show that we were serious regarding contract renewals and have done so - if...

Innocent until proven guilty - I am sure that the other guy was just calling a taxi so he could go and visit his poor sweet mother in hospital before ducking off to help feed the poor - there's always 2 sides to these things. Paddywackers, what do you mean by this? You don't say no wonder...

Actually a bit more difficult than you'd expect for a team with our record this year. I am assuming we will take 5 players in draft and aim to get 1-2 in trade or pre-season draft. We have 39 senior listed players this year so if we want to get new players we need to delist or trade 6 players...

Look at who else we have back there. Solomon - people forget that our back flanker/pocket of a few years ago is now expected to play on key forwards. McPhee - back flanker. Bradley - still learning and IMO not a CHB. Lee - 3 or so games. Fact is Fletcher IS our backline. Yes, not playing...

2 reason for Reynolds selection I suspect 1. As other have pointed out give him a chance to prove himself - has hardly set world on fire in time at the club but has been injured 2. We are desperate for some forward line balance/structure. Watching last 2 games one of many things that hurt...

Certainly the best game I've seen him play. Agree that he needs to get the ball more often, but this has been hard as he's been used so briefly and infrequently in the past. Also seem to remember him getting knocked out a few times - product of his fearlessness. Impressed by the way he uses...

True Freo were never going to get Lloyd but by agreeing with Essendon not to trade with anyone lower on the ladder (this would have given the 1st priority pick elsewhere) was drastically narrowing their trade options and made it hard to strike deals with other clubs. And except Kickett, who as...

Would have thought us giving up Dale Kickett (who'd already walked out on the club), Todd Ridley and Tony Delaney to Freo when they started in exchange for the 1st priority pick and pick no. 2 which allowed us to get Matthew Lloyd and Scott Lucas was a pretty good one. Seems Freo got off to a...
