There was a video floating around the other week of Khawaja getting into an ice bath. His body fat % appeared to be upwards of 20%. Just saying ….
Debate his place in the team but to question @Uz_Khawaja’s dedication to cricket or his preparation for the first Test is unfair & is scapegoating that crosses the line #Ashes

Merrett: “There was never a loss of faith in the club”. 🤣🤣 Sadly, this guy is starting to sound more and more like Brad Scott.
Bombers star Zach Merrett says he never lost faith in Essendon, despite his push for a move to rivals Hawthorn, which fell flat in the dying minutes of the AFL Trade Period. Merrett has returned to the club and admitted the first 30 minutes when he walked through the doors was a

“The inconsistency in our defence has been a focus”. Hallelujah 🙌
Barlow: The inconsistency in our defence has been a focus. To pressure teams when they have the ball and rush them into decisions but also to get stability behind the ball. We're looking to create a simple system for them to buy into.

Having a player in the back half who can hit a target sounds awfully enticing. Kudos to Brady for securing pick 11 … now go bag a gun player. Please!
Happy #AFLDraft Day to all those who celebrate. 🙌 The night one late mail, with Falcons young gun Josh Lindsay looming as a key piece in how the first round plays out. @FOXFOOTY

Can we get the thoughts of Gerard Healy on this? ASAP Further proof, the AFL is run by dopey buffoons.
Exclusive – Next year's potential No.1 pick Dougie Cochrane has been APPROVED to be in Port Adelaide's NGA. His application was today ticked off after a thorough process which saw Cochrane's family provide a confirmation of Aboriginal descent certificate. https://t.co/kd77Ou6sgA

Losing Jy Simpkin (27yo), for draft picks, may be a win in the long run but it makes us less competitive in the short term …
Losing Ben McKay (25yo) and Tarryn Thomas (23yo) may be a win in the long run but it makes us less competitive in the short term. Short term pain for long term gain?

This is why I’d much prefer players over (speculative) draft picks … Collingwood draft hand: 2025 1st Rd: ❌ 2nd Rd: pick 39 2026 1st Rd: pick 15-20 2nd Rd: pick 35-40 2027 1st Rd: pick 20-25 2nd Rd: pick 35-40
It’s early - but North Melbourne want 2 x first round picks for Jy Simpkin. Collingwood believe they can figure a way to pay his salary - but won’t hand over those picks. Still more to play out - but the two clubs aren’t seeing eye to eye yet. @7NewsMelbourne @7AFL

Losing Simpkin would be terrible unless we receive a quality player in return. Feel Jy can do well on a wing & pinch hitting in midfield. We need players not picks!

9 days ago we had picks 20 & 21. They have since drifted to 25 & 26. By draft night they’ll be 29/30 or 30/31. Marvellous!! 🤩 #AFLDraft

Get the players to buy into a game-plan that can defend the ground and maybe that changes for next year. Apparently, we made some game-plan tweaks at the end of year. But, if our R.24 game vs Adelaide is a blueprint for the future then we’re guaranteed another year from hell.
"NO-ONE WANTS TO COME TO THEM" It's one of the trade period's biggest mysteries - why aren't the lowly Kangaroos doing more to try and improve? But the answer could be simple, and follows from a few previous mistakes >> https://t.co/Omn1Pd3ECO

Are North definitely losing the 2 additional rookie list spots as everyone suspects? Have seen official confirmation either way. @RalphyHeraldSun

Can someone explain the 2nd 50m against Levi Ashcroft? Daicos crossed the mark, Levi didn’t. Levi wondered into ‘protected’ area but the mark hadn’t been set yet. He was just waiting for Daicos. Thought it was harsh 🤷♂️

Stating the obvious but Scott Pendlebury should retire. Been incredible as a priority pick gift to Collingwood but right call is to let Boomer keep the record. #AFLPiesLions
