Lady Shenandoah was as tough as nails in the Toorak. Had to squeeze through nothing. Brilliant ride.
Wrote this last night about what a farce free agency has become, no surprise what happened today as trade and exchange period's pacing problem became obvious. No issue with the clubs but the whole system needs a re-examination: theage.com.au/sport/afl/free…

.@essendonfc have a) made right call given Merrett was held hostage & was a distraction, b) trading him early opens up options & makes Ridley dealings less stressful & c) shows that they are a club others can trade with in a straightforward manner. Well done EFC.

Bad luck for @NMFCWomens Emma Kearney to suffer a hamstring injury in her 100th game. She is a class act and a very good footballer.

Justin Longmuir and Joe Brierty have been very impressive in every public utterance they have made since @freodockers grand final heartbreak. Brierty says Sean Darcy will be there next year, Nathan O'Driscoll exploring options but still could be at club.
Premiership 23 to never grace the field together again. Record stands for another season.

Lobbied hard for it but Wharfie Time at the 'G in a granny could only come after a goal. That changed the fan activation tool already used 10 times for a 5-1-4 record. Here's how Wharfie Time sprang into sporting folklore on Saturday: theage.com.au/sport/afl/the-…
Essendon landed John Longmire from the Swans, but Sydney managed to keep development coach Nick Malceski, who was second place in AFLCA development coach of the year, from their clutches. McVeigh regards him highly but Malceski has signed a two-year extension.
Will Ashcroft was very, very stiff not to win 3rd Norm on Sat. Ashcroft not yet 23 or 100 games has polled coaches votes now in 8 of 12 finals, two maximums in GFs. Dusty coaches votes 9 of 13 finals, two maximums in GFs. Wrote comparison ahead of prelim:
