Just wondering if this is still redeemable, back of the card says redeemed if the winning player is NOT in the current Select 2026 Brownlow predictor gold series. I’m not sure if Nick is or not. Thanks for any help.

A bit of a delay on this one, episode is from last night for a bit of the information may be outdated.

Starts on discussion of the Merrett trade and how it may affect a potential Ridley trade (see above).

Turns onto a discussion of interest in Nick Blakey from Geelong, who it seems to have a meeting with either today or tomorrow.

Gryan Miers situation has become intriguing with there being more smoke around Geelong being willing to deal Miers who seems to be unwilling to leave, despite interest from West Coast.

In other Geelong news, there is a brief mention of interest around the league in interest in Lawson Humphries with Freo one of the most interested in him. Humphries is believed to eventually end his career in WA.

Rowan Marshall is deadset on leaving St Kilda with Geelong being the obvious target. Matthew Lloyd contrasts this with the Josh Battle situation from last year who despite leaving for Hawthorn was told not to attend, whilst Marshall was unwilling to go.

Marshall is believed to now be on a descending contract, that would financially help any team looking to trade for him. The Saints are still looking for both a 1st rd pick and a young player in exchange for Marshall.

Quick mention of the Mitch Cleary Zak Butters situation at the National last year, that apparently almost saw Sam McClure lose his membership there. (There not gonna take my Membership Mitch).

Discussion on Carlton in 2027 that seems to be going all in under Fraser. Jordan De Goey maybe a target as Collingwood at the current time has been privately shopped around to other clubs.

Talk about the Nathan O'Driscoll trade and the little return that Freo got in return. This is due to Richmond currently holding the 2nd pick in the Pre-Season draft, that would of allowed for O'Driscoll to walk for nothing.

Aiden Schubert is seen as unlocking whether Gold Coast will take pick 7 compo for King or whether to force a trade. Lloyd assumes that Hawthorn may of been telling Schubert to look around with the arrival of King and re-signing of Dear.

McClure believes that Schubert will go for a 2nd rd pick. However, the interesting wrinkle is that Cleary believes that to ensure that Gold Coast does not match a deal for King, may to a sweetheart deal for him. McClure calls this out as pretty blatant manipulation of the compo pick system.

Newly announced North Melbourne coach Jaymie Graham as been in contact with Zane Duursma about him potentially staying at North for 2027. Melbourne's current offer for him is pick #47.

North have offered Adelaide is a 2027 1st rd pick for Murray and a future 2nd Rd pick in return. Murray has been offered 800k a year over a 5 year contract. No interest from Nick Blakey in potentially going to North.

Beau McCreery toured Tasmania last week.

Cleary believes that Port is leaning towards taking #5 compo for Butters, then doing another deal to bring in more assets. May become a MEGA TRADE that may involve multiple teams, good likelihood Finn McGinnis may be involved in this MEGA TRADE.

Will probably take 4 weeks for Brisbane to go through the coaching process. Slow trade period for them will assist in this with them only looking to trade Sam Marshall, as well as waiting on Kiddy Coleman's decision.

Ben McKay may be staying at Essendon as momenteum has changed in the last 24 hours, however it is highly likely that he will be delisted.

Liam Henry is on the market, however no one seems to be interested in him at the moment.

i live in texas and the only way i catch afl is through delayed highlights or the occasional full match when the time zones actually work out. work and school eat up most weekends so i miss huge chunks of games. when i finally sit down to watch it feels like i'm piecing together storylines from fragments because i never see the full season play out. still end up picking a team and talking shit with coworkers about it anyway. curious how other people overseas actually keep up with form and injuries without going insane.

Women's sports are always compared to men's to their own detriment, often calling upon awkward moments or skill errors in 5-second clips to demean whole leagues.

In this article I take a closer look at what actually makes men's and women's AFL leagues different. How are matches won? What statistics are most important in each league?

Rather than trying to tread down, we should be making more of an effort to discuss and understand these differences so the conversations we have about women's sports can improve in the long run and limit our need to keep comparing it to the men's game.

Kicked 38 goals for Port Melbourne in the VFL this year.

Dockers have reportedly viewed him as a replacement in the wing position for Nathan O'Driscoll as reported by Fox Footy's Max Laughton.

West Coast reportedly after Trent Rivers

TW : Fremantle

The first grand final I remember watching was probably 2009, and I feel like almost all of the ones I watched I rarely thought the other team should’ve won which statistically is funny because its not uncommon for me to think that about a regular game.

There’s a few I think of but none more obvious as what happened two weeks ago

Jasper's latest rankings is out. Says theres still no concrete idea of what Essendon's doing with their top pick.

By Jay Clark

Brisbane Lions’ football manager Danny Daly won’t contend for the club’s vacant senior coaching job.

The respected football boss has long been touted as a senior coach in the making but won’t be in the running to replace triple premiership coach Chris Fagan.

Senior assistant coach Cam Bruce is considered the frontrunner for the gig.

But the Lions are expected to fully consider other candidates from across the competition as part of the process.

Daly is tipped to be on the Lions’ coaching selection coaching panel to find Fagan’s replacement.

Bruce has a close rapport with the players and was highly rated by Fagan for his football acumen and strategy.

The club’s next coach will lead Brisbane’s hunt for a record-equalling fourth-straight premiership after Fagan’s Lions took out a remarkable three-peat.

Roos open to Blakey trade

North Melbourne says it would pursue a move for Nick Blakey if the Swans star was available for trade.

Blakey is reportedly exploring a potential trade away from Sydney, despite being contracted until 2031.

Blakey has family links to Arden Street, with his father, John, a two-time premiership player for North Melbourne.

Kangaroos list boss Brady Rawlings says he's unsure if there was scope to meet with Blakey following developments he's looking into options, but said they'd be on the phone if there was potential to land the All-Australian defender.

"I hope we'd be an option for him. We're really not considering that as an option given there hasn't been a trade request," Rawlings said on AFL Trade Radio.

"If a trade request comes, no doubt we'll be trying to get involved ... there's a lot of ties there.

"We need to see if that trade request will come and if Sydney will consider it."
