I've finally settled on MY top-10 footy cliches/sayings that give me the shits. Generally, it's because they make absolutely no sense and have somehow worked their way into common vernacular. Thanks for the inspiration @_jennafulton

Great win by @lionsaflw, overpowering Melb by 13pts to qualify for a home prelim final and all-but sew up the $1M McClelland Trophy. So many stars. Dawes, Anderson and Mullins in the middle, Davidson, Hampson and Hodder forward and Campbell, Koenen back. Dunne (knee) a concern.

When Brisbane was trying to lure Courtney Hodder back to Australian Football, it was an inaugural Lion who would prove the club's secret weapon. @MichaelWhiting writes.

Also in this - Melbourne's Eden Zanker has interest from West Coast and Fremantle. Still out of contract at the Demons and has links to WA. Hawthorn's Aine McDonagh is also seen as one to watch ahead of this year's AFLW trade period. @AFLcomau
Plans are in place for AFLW clubs to be at Marvel Stadium for this year's trade deadline, with the League hoping to build on the dramatic momentum seen during the men's deadline last week. @AFLcomau
