So hard to know how next weekend will play out… some serious ducks and drakes about to happen I reckon.

as expected.
is Hardwick the last piece?
Stacks of good young talent already on the list.
They bring in 3 guns this year from the academy.
Good be a really good period for them

Hopefully. Also I hope we trade more often with them. Be " trade week buddies", as I see swans as mainly competitors in the way they treat us, not the way we treat them.

No surprise, but confirmation by Gold Coast that Hardwick is their coach till 2029. All he has to do is to take them to a final appearance, and he will have done what no Gold Coast coach has never done before!

Looks like we'll be seeing some really good footy from them in the upcoming seasons.
I had suspected the game style may be similar to us and Richmond when I heard the news. Though, seeing this quote made me smile all the same given that the style we're playing is being recognised.
They've had some glimpses of being a good team to watch from some of the recent games I've seen and it looks like that'll only build. Wishing them all the best.

Pretty strong retirement class this year.
The Richmond boys Riewaldt and Cotchin are HOF locks.
Isaac Smith, 4 time premiership player with a Norm Smith.
The West Coast boys retiring also have terrific records. Hurn with 300+ games, premiership captain, couple BnF's, couple all Australians probably ends up in the HOF as well.
Nic Nat was a freak. 3 AA's and 3 BnFs is a great career.
Shuey a star. A Norm Smith, a few AAs and BnFs. Great careers.
Throw in Buddy who'll probably end up a Hof legend .
Our man Phil, captain for 8 years.
Plenty of others as well, but farewelling some stars.
Im sure I'm forgetting some one

Hurts a little seeing Butters clean up these awards. We were so incredibly close to securing him at the draft…instead we got Caldwell and Hately

I dunno ... I have reasons to hope they both lose.
Is it too much to hope a meteor hits the ground and wipes them both out? That's probably a bit extreme - there'd be nowhere for us to play tomorrow, then.

Maynard rightfully straight to the tribunal
Skills level in this game is pretty ordinary. I don't think Melbourne would be having too many concerns about next week watching this

Swans didn’t deserve to be there so no surprise they go out first round.
TBH no team has impressed me so far. Let’s see what the next two games bring.

Interesting snippet regarding Grundy's take on Sydney (city) opportunities outside of footy. Also, how does that affect their pursuit of Ben McKay, in terms of available contract $$$?
www.sen.com.au
Port Adelaide is officially out of the race to secure Brodie Grundy, leaving Sydney as the ruck’s near-certain home for the next four years.
The Power put together a football-focussed presentation to Grundy and were happy to pick up Melbourne’s contract, which expires at the end of 2027. Grundy was keen to explore the club’s views on work-life balance and, as first reported by Sam Landsberger of the Herald Sun, more attracted to the lifestyle in Sydney and the opportunities it could present outside of football.
Port Adelaide's DNA is fundamentally different to Sydney's and believes its core responsibility is football and the expectations from its passionate fanbase demand this. This is not to say the Swans priority is not football, only that selling points also extend beyond the game. There are no hard feelings between Port and Grundy, but it became clear to both parties after the meeting that club and player had different priorities.
Port Adelaide officially out of Grundy race as Sydney trade a near-certainty
Tom Morris has the latest.

sounds like he wants a break from the fishbowl - and Adelaide being only a 2 team town is an even more focussed fishbowl than Melbourne.
surprised (and glad) to see that, with Flynn more than likely to leave, Preuss being a broken down hack & Maddison realistically 3 years away, that we haven’t been mentioned.
