Craig Hutchison and Channel 9 are at loggerheads after the SEN boss froze his major rival out of the AFL App.
Furious Nine bosses have taken their beef to the AFL after they realised 3AW commentary was no longer available on the league’s main matchday social media platform.
Users of the AFL App have previously had the option of choosing to listen to commentary from Triple M, ABC, SEN and 3AW but that has changed this year.
Htuchison negotiated an exclusive deal with the AFL in the new radio rights deal which was signed off late last year, paying a high premium to be the only AM commercial option on the App.
As one industry observer said: “Nine were asleep at the wheel”.
With Hutchison’s Sports and Entertainment Network placing significantly higher value on the App than their rival, the AFL didn’t hesitate to take the cash particularly given what they perceived as Nine’s waning interest in AFL.

The league, and a number of 3AW’s high-profile talent, have been frustrated at the station’s decision to not cover Thursday night games, preferring to play its regular programming of Nights with Denis Walter instead.
They are now down to four games per round whereas SEN’s AFL Nation covers all nine games every weekend.

There isn’t a lot of wriggle room for 3AW - which is now run out of Nine Entertainment’s headquarters in Sydney - given the exclusive SEN deal with the App is locked in for two years.
Ironically, Htuchison has been the long-time host of Nine’s main football program, Footy Classified, on Monday nights.

Hey guys, how many trades are people hoping to have in the bank post bye?
Assuming all goes well through the next few weeks, and most of us can get down to a full premo or at the most having maybe 2 rookies/midpricers left on field following round 15.
What's the ideal number of trades you'd have for the last 8 or so rounds to cover injuries, suspensions and upgrades?

The next couple weeks throw up some real value for fallen premiums and rising stars.
Few names here - most prices are either for after this week or the week after:
Cripps $530k
Neale $550k
Sicily $540k
Sinclair $515k
Steele $520k
Gawn $530k
DeGoey $510k
Darcy Cameron $510k
Dawson could be back to his starting price around $610k
Then not mention those rising at the moment - Brayshaw and Rowell - still very much in the value zone.
I think the choices over the next couple weeks will determine end of year success. Who to target and when to get them will be super key.
Who's everyone targeting from this list?

Who's everyone targeting from this list?
It’s a good question. Most years I feel like there is a pretty clear consensus on who the top 8 midfielders, top 6 defenders and so on will be (barring maybe 1-2 spots). Especially in the midfield, I don’t think that’s the case this year.
Premos also seem to be holding their value better, presumably because the Magic Number is higher.
From your list, I already have Sinclair and Sicily (and Brayshaw), for better or worse. Gawn and Cripps are probably the other ones that jump out to me, albeit I don’t know that either is an obvious steal at those prices. I’d probably have Neale next for a lowish risk option. De Goey is unproven as a premium, and Dawson seems like a last upgrade if he’s at 600k unless your cash gen is much better than most people’s!

Yeh unfortunately I'm one of the few without Dawson - will be looking at the bye rounds to downgrade rookies in a bid to get him in.
I think Sinclair is the one I'll target. Bit up and down so far this year but have to think he settles back to scoring soon. Not sure I'm keen on having both him and Sicily in the same backline at the moment, with the other options around them.
I really like the De Goey pick. But it's equally as tough to convince myself that he's the option to grab when the more secure options of Neale, Cripps and Merrettt (forgot to add him) are only 30-60k more.

I struggle a bit with De Goey, but as a Pies supporter I am happy to be proven wrong! He’s shown very little to suggest he’s a premium mid before this year, and his CBAs are actually down slightly versus last year (the big jump was in 2022).
Interesting you mention Merrett - he’s the premo I’m bringing in this week, and is one of few I’ve felt pretty good about, even before the Setters/Shiel news. He would be a clear first on that list for me.

Have had Neale and Sicily since the beginning.
Planning Gawn Rd12 assuming he’s got fwd status. Dawson will have to come in Rd15 unfortunately.
Will miss his score vs the Eagles and Suns but I’m hoping he gets nullified by the Dogs and Lions who traditionally pig out on SC points which may o***et the two bigger scores.
Of course if he goes large in 3/4 games, I’m going to have to break the bank to get him.
