I'd think new guernseys would be getting printed, they're on the back of both home and away.

MG is our major partner, GFG, KFC and Santos are co-major partners so they're not top tier but important partners nonetheless.

I would think that changes before round 1 though.

Esava Ratugolea has undergone a minor procedure on his knee to prepare him for the upcoming AFL season.

Ratugolea had his meniscus trimmed on Wednesday following an incident at training earlier in the week.

The defender is expected to reintegrate back into training within the next month.

And how many 1st rd picks?
Cant see Butters going to Bulldogs, especially if he has a choice and if he wants to go home he'd have nearly all VIC sides chasing him

This trade will go down in someway. But my mail for the last 6months, very high chance of NWM being at Port next season.

Made the AA squad of 40 in his 3rd year of footy a pretty good effort.
One of the best kicks in the league out of defence. Huge upside.
