The Giants are also expected to dig their heels in with the Blues over an interest in McCormick, who is another to have flagged a desire to land at Ikon Park just weeks after being named in the AFLW's extended All-Australian squad.

McCormick, who is contracted for 2026, has emerged as one of the League's best defensive options this season and averaged 16.6 disposals and 2.9 marks across the campaign.

Carlton is widely viewed as one of the AFLW's most attractive destinations ahead of next month's Trade Period, with the young Blues blowing away West Coast and Hawthorn in convincing finals wins across the last fortnight.

Kudos to Bucky. It was rats jumping off only a few years ago. Now its come full circle and everyone wants to come on board.

I'd be looking to get in a replacement tall forward for Bohanna who is one of the oldest on our list. Yes, Poppy Scholz has a big future there, as does McKay, but i think they work so well with Bohanna taking a key defender.

Brooke Boileau (Adelaide) has requested a trade to us.
Lauren Bella (Gold Coast) also looks headed our way.

I guess we're looking for replacements for Breann Moody aka Harrington and Jess Good, who aren't getting any younger. Harrington is 28 and may be looking to start a family. Jess Good is 31, after starting late (she was 26 when we drafted her). Both girls have been fantastic this year, one of the reasons we've been winning games.

There are several sources of information about the coves who exploited and abused vulnerable young girls including the material from the Epstein and Maxwell court cases, the recent email dump, flight logs, photographs and videos, witness statements and victim testimonies.

You might get the odd fanatical journalist who will devote years of their life to trying to piece it all together but it’s unlikely that the whole truth will ever be known.

If it had happened here, and at the same scale, a royal commission would be appropriate.

^^  The cynic in me thinks we will get a sanitised list of people with the usual suspects fingered.

Some will be left off, and we will forever wonder if we were told the truth of all the things in the epstein files.
