The AFL News up to Tuesday 6/10/1992.
-------------------------------------
 The news is starting to thin out at the moment, but I have collected a number
of articles over the last couple of days. In news of the South Australian Grand
Final, Port Adelaide trounced Glenelg by 57 points to record their fourth flag
in five years! The scores were:

        Port Adelaide  1.2  8.3  15.3  17.4 (106)
        Glenelg        3.3  4.6   6.7   7.7  (49)

Glenelg had the wind in the first quarter on wet and windy day. They kicked the
first three goals of the match, but then Port lifted their intensity. A great
second and third quarters kicking 14 goals to 3 won the games for Port Adelaide.
Hot AFL prospect Nathan Buckley was voted man of the match.

 In news of club best and fairest voting, Collingwood's Michael McGuane won the
Copeland Trophy on Friday night ahead of Gary Pert. Scott Russell and Damian
Monkhorst were equal third.

 St.Kilda's Robert Harvey won the Sainst best and fairest award for 1992.
Stewart Loewe was a close second and Tony Lockett was third. St.Kilda has also
stabilised the situation with football manager Peter Hudson. Hudson has agreed
to relinquish the role of Chairman of Selectors for a position on the match
committee, but he will have an increased role in recruitment. He still has the
position of football manager.

 Stan Alves will tell Brisbane if he will accdept the position of football
manager. Alves has a specialist coaching role at St.Kilda and also commentates
on Radio 3LO in Melbourne, which is the station broadcast by Radio Australia.
Alves was a distinguished player playing 268 games with Melbourne and North
Melbourne from 1965-1979.

 Hawthorn has traded Matthew Robran for the Crows first and seventh round draft
picks this year. Hawthorn had wanted a player and a draft choice but the clubs
could not agree on which player.

 Carlton has lost three experienced players this season. David Glascott has
announced his retirement from football as a player. Ian Aitken has decided to
part company with the Blues and will seek greener pastures elsewhere. David
Rhys-Jones has also announced his retirement, but the rumour grapevine has it
that he may be picked up by Footcsray for next year.

 In rumours, the 'Adelaide Advertiser' reported this morning that Port Adelaide
Nathan Buckley player was going to play for Collingwood in 1993 for some ridi-
culously large sum of money. Collingwood have to trade to Brisbane for Buckley's
services, so Collingwood have supposedly offered their first draft choice as
well as Troy Lehmann and Mark Williams.

 A further rumour is that Nicky Winmar is not happy with the Saints after their
shabby treatment of him after his injury in the First Semi-Final. He is rumoured
to want to return to WA and play for the Eagles, and Chris Lewis may be swapped
for him.

 Enough rumour mongering for today. I will try to complie so more news later
this week.
