The similarities between the Ablett saga last year and Scully this year would make me nervous as a Dees fan. Ablett denied contact, talks, etc with GC but was able to sign at the first minute after the season. Difference is Ablett had had success, Scully obviously yet to experience this...

Re: Swan to stay Pendlebury was a Collingwood man and would "expect" he would stay. No mention of Thomas

Swan to stay Pickering responded to a question on Foxsport news at 9pm that Swan would stay at Collingwood and an announcement was "imminent"

That fine, trustworthy journal, The Australian, has reported Thursday that, along with Hale, Urquhart is being prepared to be moved out. The article further states that North is keener on draft picks than players. At this time of year, not much can be believed! The knock on Veszpremi is...

I would be surprised if the Blues won the first final. Their record in the second half of 2010 is 4 wins and seven losses. Their 4 wins? Against teams who finished 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th on the ladder That suggests the in form Swans might be too good this week

Not sure about that part although we will have to wait for details, but the Hawks play 15 of 22 in Melbourne along with their 4 Launceston games. i don't think we have a huge choice on this. I am happy to support it where I wasn't prepared to support a GC move

Fosdike's "dog act" was an agreement between player and Club. Fosdike's knee was stuffed but had one more year to run on contract, and if he retired at the end of the season, the whole contract would have been included in that season's salary cap. The retirement was announced early the next...

As one who thinks the lottery system for determining draft order is worth consideration, interested to read of tanking claims made by sacked Cavs coach on ESPN. Claimed the Club made "surprising" trade decisions and he was ordered to play young players, ensuring a lower finish and an increased...

In the week leading up to trade week, Denham repeatedly stated that North Melbourne was a rabble. North supporters who rang to challenge Denham could only get from him that North wouldn't tell the media what their strategy was during trade week (unlike paul Roos who repeatedly told Journos that...

Liam Pickering - player manager or used car salesman?

Still expect to see Brabazon, Laidlaw, Playfair and maybe Schmidt delisted. Pyke is the only rookie likely to be promoted. With the two new rucks, Currie and Pyke, Orreal will stay on rookie list at best. Will pick up a couple of recycled players late in ND or in PSD. Of course you can have any...

A bit harsh I think BIGBEZ. Sydney try to trade with Clubs, unlike a number of others so are generally able to get deals done when they need to. Sometimes means you have to pay a little over the odds (maybe Seaby). Mumford, still raw, played 18 games for the premiership team and his style and...

Probably 54 to WB, 63 to SYD

I am hearing he will be delisted

Has played 65 games in 4 year senior career so hardly a "VFL player at best". Yep, no superstar but has played some very good games in those 65 - and some ordinary ones! Has a role to play in a back half. Does seem to have bailed out on North a LITTLE early given he has played every game in each...

3AW reported Tuesdat that Scully was injured and would not play "The NO.1 draft pick won't play, is out for the season - so don't go to the game just to see him"

Re: Tell me about Temel Sorry, not clear enough. My comments and details were about Fewster - the second player originally asked about. Just on Temel, thought he was good again against Eastern on Saturday. Only two goals but missed 3 or 4 shots but set up a number of goals for other...

Last 6 seasons N. Riewoldt 182 FF 58 FA

Well of course it will be more of the same. That is the reason they rushed to contract Longmire before he might have taken a senior job elsewhere. The powers that be believe in continuity, consistency and maintaining a particular approach. Yes, some new assistant coaches might ad some new ideas...

Not sure about reliability, but Fox Footy Teams hinted that Gavin Brown might be joining Brad Scott at Roos

I'm always fascinated by the view that there are a number of boring games each year and therefore footy is not enjoyable. As a follower for over 5 decades, I still realy enjoy the game. Yes it is different but that makes it interesting for me, not necessarily "worse". I don't accept that the...

Don't expect Orreal to be around much longer!

Hey Liz and Bloodstained, I think you forgot Brett Peake, Marcus Drum, Chris Tarrant and probably Daniel Harris. Don't know what Raines is thinking wanting to go to the Lions and not Sydney. Perhaps we should start a list of all the "linked with Sydney" players mentioned over the next month

Re: Tell me about Temel At 198 might be just a tad short as a big ruckman. 19 yo so a year ahead of rest in terms of development. Not agreat leap and doesn't take lots of marks. Was quite e heavy kid and has worked really hard to get body into shape so work ethic is there. As a result of...

3AW just announced (T Shaw) that Browne (ret), Campbell, Gilmore, Head and 2 rookies delisted (? Pratt, Connelly?)

Unfortunately, info correct. See AFL website

Laidley will coach to the end of this season, as he should, when rational ealuation can be made. I wil be interested to see the developments in the following areas during the season on which to evaluate the performance of the coaching panel: Ball movement: appear to be stymied trying to work...

Currie continues to pull up sore after game time, having had a number of minor soft tissue injuries over the pre-season

Leo Barry has already been placed on the long term injury list so won't be available for the first few rounds, meaning a rookie can already be promoted
