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

Taylor Duryea has played three complete years of senior football (in most weeks), and two of these netted him premiership medallions. He’s a handy footballer – not great, not terrible. He’s tabbed by PAPLEY as a general defender, with an emphasis on the general part. But only in 2015 and

For the second consecutive trade period, a former number one draft pick born in 1991 and originally selected by Melbourne has been traded interstate. Tom Scully, this year’s former Melbourne number one draft pick, has managed to find his way to his third club, for a lot less than his
