Clubs considering trading 2027 picks. Do you really have confidence in the Tassie government, the stadium approval and that the Devils team and draft picks don’t get pushed back a year? Are you comfortable trading picks in a draft that is suddenly not diluted? It’s a genuine risk

If Collingwood trades either F1 for ‘26 or ‘27, it will the sixth time they’ve given up future firsts (Treloar, Beams, a 2021 pick 2 sold for 2 x 2nd rounds in anticipation of N.Daicos, Schultz, Houston). If they’re lucky, the deal will fail.

Pies offer 2027 first round for Simpkin and 46 (this year). Roos want two future first round picks.

KEL Wilson finished with the almightiest of bangs. Having notched up his maiden grade century for Newcastle club Charletown, Wilson's next 55 runs came from just 11 balls. His last 11 scoring shots were: 4, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 4, 1, 4, 6, 6 @newcastleherald https://t.co/xvJQyoo96R

Elijah Hollands thought he could overcome his battles on his own. But when he hit a low point mid-season, he knew his problems were only going to grow unless he had a serious reset.

He was apparently a former spiritual adviser to Trump. And he got ten years in prison for his child sex crime but will only serve six months. Where’s the outrage from MAGA? If Dems were ruthless, they’d be all over this. Imagine what Fox would do if it was Biden’s adviser?
