Henry Hustwaite seemed to be living the life of a footballer at the top of his game. In reality, he spent the year playing to impress a second AFL club knowing his Hawthorn career was coming to an end. READ ▶️ bit.ly/4jDFXH1 @PaulAmy375

From $30,000 player contracts to pokies-backed war chests, Melbourne local cricket has entered a wild recruiting arms race where cash rules and loyalty is dead. We go inside the battle for success. STORY: bit.ly/4dcuIBu

Cracking read here.
We went deep on Murphy Reid and how his recruitment despite a dramatic national draft slide shows why this Dockers list team is just so good. The Caulfield Grammar rumour, the Travaglia spray. “Is he a brat?”. The Dockers sorted truth from fiction and got an absolute beauty. “The school thing spooked some clubs but he wasn’t involved in it. And on draft night, Fremantle had done the work, and when he fell to them they couldn’t have read his name out any faster.” With @MaccaHeraldSun heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/k…

Given the AFL has now issued Geelong with a "please explain" letter, how can AFL Chairman Craig Drummond possibly remain in his current role? Does he now have to explain his own actions to himself? Surely he must stand aside until the investigation concludes.

I reckon Tasmania Devils could come up with about 20 million reasons over 10 years as to why he would leave.
