It's been a big day in footy

Post by Damien »

...as Ed would have said back in his Footy Show days (he woulda said a big week actually but y'know what I mean)

Griffin bombshell - prez slams him
AFL blocks dodgy Ess/Port deal for Ryder
AFL pulls COLA from Swans
Sir James in court again
Bucks and Varcoe sipping Bintangs in Bali
New Suns CEO
Couple of trade deals done
Numerous trade deals on the verge
Clock ticking -24hrs to the Beams trade deadline

What's next?

I'm loving this... Pass the popcorn!

...and that Nat Edwards on AFL.com's footy feed is just cute as a button ❤️ Could be Swoop's next avatar

Especially glad about the Ryder deal getting blocked. That was just anarchy waiting to happen if that went through.

He is probably still hiding from Bucks.

Ditto.
I will see your paddy ryder compensation block and raise it one Swans COLA cancellation.
Imagine if the pies had an extra mill in the salary cap. And i dont ever remember kieron jack being born and raised outside of NSW, so whats he doing reaping the rewards of a living allowance. The vic clubs should all be thanking eddie big time. Everyone slammed it on the quiet but only eddie had the guts to stand up against the AFL on this major issue.

Yes Hats off to the Prez and credit where its due to the AFL. What I never got about COLA was that, yes it more expensive to live in Sydney, but Melbourne is more expensive than Adelaide so why was there never a sliding scale? Ah well, its all elementary now.

Is it a sign of impending insanity when draft time makes you register and post over at bigfooty?

I never thought I'd see the day.

I feel like such a whore.

God no. I can't stand hose racing - just as bad as golf. zero interest

Although something's awry in the silly season when I much preferred the NRL to the AFL grand final.

Personally I hate when the off-season is bigger than the season itself.

It speaks volumes of what's wrong with the current competition!

I know the feeling. I couldn't resist temptation and joined in October last year.

Fortunately I don't post there very often compared to Nicks. Nicks is still my number one source for Collingwood news and discussion.
