Ol' Tommy loves a good "revealed" or "exclusive" that either regurgitates something someone else covered in the last few hours or says ******* nothing at all.

I feel bad whenever I laugh at him, but he's the one who chased this career and achieved it through nepotism.

Surely he’s had a frontal lobotomy ?!

See, I'm the opposite. I take great pleasure in laughing at the buffoon.

Surely the Tom Browne tweet on Zorko and Petty incident goes something like :

“ #breaking

“ Can confirm something was said to Petty by Zorko.

But Petty may not have herd it clearly so it might not have been said .

AFL likely to launch investigation if nothing was said even though something could have been said “

#breaking #7NEWS. “

Unfortunately we live in a world now where all media and reporting is just all click bait rubbish.

Reporting is just full of lies and sensationalism in order to get extra clicks and unfortunately there's very few good reporters who actually report facts.
 

Moneyball AFL trades: All the latest news and whispers on potential 2022 player movement​

One round to go and the trade winds are set to become a gale. All the latest whispers, plus the intrigue around a pair of interesting situations at North Melbourne — and no, it’s not Clarko.

Jon Ralph, Glenn McFarlane and Jay Clark

Jason Horne-Francis’ lack of interest in requesting a trade back to Adelaide is music to the ears of Roos staffers who have been baffled at times by his attitude.
Horne-Francis was dropped for his lack of professionalism last week when failing to properly rehab with an ice-bath even when a senior member of the coaching staff asked him to do so.

He is only 19 but one insider reckoned this week the coaches could have picked out a similar incident that would have given cause for that kind of tough love most weeks this year.

The hope is that at some stage with the strong reinforcement of the coaching and development team the penny will drop but no one inside the club believed dropping him was the wrong decision.

He responded with an excellent VFL game to put his name up for selection again.

Adams set to help Patch up Roos​

North Melbourne caretaker coach Leigh Adams is almost certain to remain at Arden St next season.

Adams has so impressed Kangaroos officials that the club still sees him as a critical part of the next stage in the pathway back to being a competitive force again.

While Adams has only won one of his five matches since taking over from David Noble last month, he has played a role in making the Kangaroos a more competitive on-field outfit.

Internally, he is being credited with helping to unite the playing group after what has been a tumultuous 2022 season, while still providing a stern hand when required.

It comes as North Melbourne works on its pitch to convince the AFL that it deserves priority draft access, which could be decided at the AFL Commission meeting in Grand Final week.

The Kangaroos have formally met with the AFL on at least one occasion, but have also had a few other discussions as they push their case.

The prospect of gaining an extra draft pick in the middle stages of the first round and another in the middle stages of a second round remains an option.

Those picks could be on-traded as the Kangaroos look to bolster their playing talent.

Cunnington set to plough on​

Kangaroos veteran Ben Cunnington looks certain to play on for a 14th AFL season — and help with the next phase of the club’s rebuild — with early talks on a new deal kicking off.

Cunnington, 31, is out of contract at the end of the season, but insiders believe it is formality that he will again wear the No.10 next year, and potentially beyond.

The heart-and-soul midfielder, who made an emotional return to AFL football last week after battling testicular cancer, has made it clear he still believes he has good footy left in him.

He told teammates last week that not being able to play during his intensive chemotherapy and rehabilitation had made him realise how much he still loved the game.

“I’m here now, hungry, I feel I have worked hard to be in a position to help you boys out again. I’m keen as ever,” Cunnington said in the lead up to his first AFL match in 13 months.

It is understood the hard-edged Kangaroo, who shed a tear as he ran onto Adelaide Oval last week, and his management have already held initial discussions about a new deal.

North Melbourne fans have the chance to see him play first hand for the last time this season when he prepares to take on Gold Coast at Marvel Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

But the good news is that he seems certain to add to his 228 career matches again in 2023.

Why Hawk could now be open to move​

Why would Luke Breust want to be traded this year when he was so strong in rejecting the interest from GWS last year?

Because he would be prepared to move to a Victorian club, an offer that was not on the table with last year’s interstate request.

Three-time premiership small forward Breust, 32 in November, would be open to a trade to a Victorian contender if it would suit the Hawks’ list build.

It means the likes of Melbourne, Carlton and Collingwood would surely be possible landing points if they are prepared to stump up a reasonable pick.

Consider him in Melbourne’s small forward line up alongside Kysaiah Pickett and Christian Petracca, with the Demons likely to have cap space next year with Luke Jackson’s departure.

Breust also wants the security of a contract past 2023, so some publicity about the situation helps either way – getting a deal after 40.19 so far this year or moving clubs.

Hawthorn’s Jack Gunston will discuss his future in the next week but it makes absolutely no sense for the Hawks to lose an unrestricted free agent for a late, late compensation pick.
 
Fifteen years after her Keep North South campaign, and just months after taking over the club's presidency after a disastrous stint by Ben Buckley and his sidekick Glenn Archer, Hood has delivered one of the all-time great coaching coups.

From the bloke that recently said re * debacle that we are a move on industry!
 
Sonja is going to be on Crunch Time on SEN. Will be on soon.
 
Absolutely brilliantly-handled interview, Sonja! You are AMAZING!! I LOVE that she even had a dig at Cornes for calling her 'uninspiring'. 😆
Confirmed that Ben A. will be involved at the club next year but wouldn't say he would be the CEO.

Love the drive by to Kane Cornes from Sonja.

He keeps banging about “relevence” whilst his radio show market share is 0.9 %

He cops a lot of shit from everywhere, but I find him the most authentic out of everyone in the media. Even this week, ANY other * supporter, along with plenty of other media clowns, would‘ve weaved a tragic story of north so Clarko has to go to *…..He didn’t do that. Respect.

How funny is this thing and how true it is . Someone close to me works in the corporate world and there are a plethora of yes people willing to do whatever it takes to keep their job and high wage . They try and engineer outcomes and when they don’t get their way they pretend the whole thing never happened it is actually quite flipping bizarre. This is what we and many other people are up against across the whole globe to be honest.
