Moving their Andrew Brayshaw lure fund across to de Koning

That was the subtext of it. It is also a shame that the guys on our squad don't get to play, but competitive men are competitive and will push through where Fremantle might pull them out of the game. There sure isn't going to be eighteen team physio teams on hand to manage their players.

It would be unfortunate for all of Fremantle's indigenous stars to be unavailable to play for the uncontrolled minutes of an opposition side.

Danger is old and impacts games in little sprints.

Is there enough evidence to overturn a decision though? Certainly not enough to change it from Not Out to Out.

We've already had a scare with a broken leg before Christmas that turned out to just be a cork.

There's a lot of it going around at the moment. Players being written off for long periods across the league. Hopefully Bolton is minor.

Straight bat shot would turn into an across the line edge risk if that ball skids on and doesn't spin.

Tim Kelly will be 31 at the end of the year and if his contract isn't extended he will really lament Tasmania not being available to get two or three years at needing a senior player. WC are going to hope to not need Kelly in the midfield in 2026 with Warner, and they picked Yeo over Kelly for...

I apologise for not being able to think of a pun for row to link the music to the exercise in the twitter post from the club showing off the muscles. Guns N Rowses?

And that player is going to need to be in front of him, while he is leading away from goal. You'll see all our smalls lined up along the edge of the 50 for that exact reason. I think Jackson actually stays pretty close to goal in these set ups, not so much because he drops them so often, but...

From an offensive game plan point of view, we don't want Bolton or Switta as the marking target from a centre bounce clearance. We want Treacy, Amiss or Jackson leading for that mark. So all of our small forwards in that 6-6-6 starting point aren't in the game unless they are at the bounce or...

Carr is already filling out

The TV in the home office doesn't have HD foxtel, so I have to flip from foxtel to DTV. This was not a foreseen problem.

I am frustrated that the ashes test is on at the same time as the AU/SL test.

Oscar Allen was at his best when he was playing behind Kennedy and Darling, floating in off the side manned up by a medium defender and clunking the mark. Watching him very close against Collingwood a long time ago now, that was perfect for him.

I think WC are expecting Allen to leave money on the table to make up for being paid to watch so much over the last few years.

Head might need to have his impact before the ball is turning like the pitch has an elbow in it.

Genius. Inventive. Bold.

Bolton will take the time Switkowski had in there for the exact same reason.

I think if you have Chad Warner on the hook and you're going to lose Oscar Allen to a deal that will score you a top four pick you lose as much as you can, you refuse to trade Harley Reid end of the year no matter what and given you have pick #1 in the PSD and Warner is out of contract - you...

I think allowing Tasmania to purchase and "bank" talent for two years over 2026 and 2027 would allow them to follow the GWS model of buying elite young players from clubs (in 2027) and elite older players/role models in 2026 for a year of VFL and then a year or two of AFL. I do expect Alex...

What if the AFL allowed the Devils to recruit AFL players for their VFL side end of 2026 along with those 17 year olds? I'm not talking about the likes of Daicos, but someone like Alex Pearce or Scott Pendlebury (to a lesser extent) as a playing coach could start them out strong.

We will get a signal in the mid season draft to what the AFL expects for Tasmania. Similar to the AFLW draft where only those above a certain age could nominate to protect the sub 21 players for Tas.

I think there's an element of Andrew McDougall and Tom Petroro throwing AFL media figures a bone on Allen and Rowell as part of their negotiation with West Coast and Gold Coast. Both players have the club suggesting that their lack of availability while being paid means there's some money to...

If the midfield pressures enough having a 2m option in Draper to float off and intercept mark will be a weapon too

If you're finishing bottom two already you make sure you lose to Richmond twice and try and finish dead last - then you have pick #1, pick #2 from Allen and you offer Sydney pick #12 for Warner and you get him for that. Or you can win some extra games and pay a top four pick instead.

AFL Media is catching up. Quite a few managers sending story content to AFL staff writers to pressure their teams to cough up more cash.

That's the worst kept secret of the season.

He looked to have the agility and ground game to play on smalls
