He’s been disrespected for many years by fans and club. I reckon he’s an iconic player of this era of Freo and his effort has been consistently high. I don’t know if the stats reflect it but I feel like he’s contributed something important in every game he’s played the last two or three years.

I think Shai Bolton will cost too much to be worth it for Fremantle. He hasn’t performed to the level of justifying two first rounders for a while IMO, but Richmond could justifiably ask for it if he tries to get out of his contract so early. I’d be more than happy for them to trade two first...

If a doctor says leaving a club/going to a specific club/location is the solution to their mental health ills then that’s fine. Dunno if that’s a thing though.

Clubs could still pay the banned player but they’d be unavailable for selection.

I hope the AFL develops a policy that bans players for a duration or imposes a fine on them if they unilaterally break a contract, except for in extenuating circumstances. With that said, I’m not convinced this rumour is true anyway.

Where did this rumour come from? It’s so random that it seems true.

Wasn’t the story more like Hawthorn was desperate for Mitchell to be their coach but he was being pursued by Collingwood, so the Hawks had to make the tough call to do a “handover year” (which failed)?

It depends on the situation of the club. Maybe they have a lot of cap space or are able to front or back end deals. Jasper Pittard would be an example.

Bulldogs should give him a go if they're doing some rebuild/renovation type stuff with their list.

Why do you say that? I'd happily see the club trade a late first and second rounder for him.

It must be so frustrating as a Dogs fan to hear Beveridge essentially say he doesn’t think the list is good enough and therefore he’s going to muck around with selection. No one else sees Caleb Daniel, Bailey Dale, or Jack Macrae as obstacles to the team’s success. The club is held ransom to the...

North Melbourne v St Kilda, Round 2 2018. Both teams were on 2.10 at half time, then North randomly kicked seven goals in the last quarter to destroy the Saints by 52. It was just so weird. I fell asleep.

GWS d Geelong Connor Idun Norm Smith

One player from every club, with ages. Aim is to create a balanced list that can compete immediately. I’ve disregarded unviable options like Ollie Henry moving out of Geelong or GWS letting Tom Green go. No regard for the salary cap. Adelaide: Riley Thilthorpe (25) Brisbane: Darcy Wilmot (24)...

Grand final: GWS d Geelong Ladder GWS Collingwood Geelong Brisbane Carlton Port Adelaide Sydney Fremantle Adelaide Gold Coast Melbourne St Kilda Essendon Western Bulldogs Hawthorn Richmond North Melbourne West Coast Eagles

Freo’s rebuild started in 2016 with Logue, Darcy, Cox and Ryan being drafted, so I’d be pretty disappointed if they saw 2024 that way.

With Schultz gone I think that lowers Freo’s ceiling a bit. I’ll say 12th. Freo is definitely better than WCE, North, StK, Essendon, Richmond, and Hawthorn. Probably on par with Gold Coast, and Bulldogs are a candidate to drop further down the ladder IMO. Can’t see Freo’s improvement outpacing...

Wtf, so that family has Willem Xavier Yasmin Zane I’m expecting a Vivian soon.

This post seems to be the origin of this rumour, so we know who started it if it turns out to be false.

If I could guarantee he would play every game next year, I would rather Freo keep him and lose him for nothing next year than trade him for pick 18 now. He’s a massively important player and the club will need time to work out how their forward half will work without him. Sucks there aren’t...

Haha, those who doubted Twomey and Beveridge have hopefully learned a lesson.

I swear I’ve done this prediction somewhere else, but going to have another try. 2024: GWS d Melbourne 2025: Fremantle d Sydney 2026: Gold Coast d Port Adelaide 2027: Hawthorn d GWS 2028: North Melbourne d Gold Coast 2029: Essendon d North Melbourne 2030: Geelong d Collingwood

It’s been reported by Jon Ralph. Not saying that means it’s correct, but it’s not just bigfooty chatter.

As stupid as it sounds, that is what has been reported.

Insanely good deal for Essendon. Surely Gresham has more up-side than Shiel. With STK’s list at the moment, pick 13 would be better spent at the draft than on Shiel. Maybe SOS hasn’t gotten over missing out on him back when he left GWS?

Maybe it’s because I’m a GWS member and was hoping to get a Grand Final ticket, but I don’t think I’ve ever been more focused on and immersed through a footy game before! Great game.

Or makes it easier for them to get a player. If they have list spots then the bidding war for pick four gets very interesting!

Still has a lot to offer even if he’s regularly injured. Would be great depth for a contender I think.
