For two of the last three off-seasons, Marcus Adams has been rumoured to want a move out of the Kennel – back to WA in 2016, and to Brisbane this year. As the trade period wound to a close, Brisbane and the Dogs were able to get the deal over the line,

Here is the one piece of trivia you’ll ever need to know about Jack Hombsch: He broke the record for “most grounds played at” in 95 games where the previous record holders took 300 games and spanned the suburban Victorian and national eras. Hombsch managed this feat having started at GWS

After being unable to persuade Darcy Moore or Tom Langdon to leave Collingwood, and seemingly losing interest or losing the “race” for Taylor Duryea, Sydney decided to focus on “Plan D”. In this case, Sydney’s Plan D for their stated aim of finding a defender to free up Zak Jones or
