Thanks for the late tip Red!

Was a maiden after 6 starts, who could tip it?

Btw, I don’t bet and don’t tip, for fear of anger when most tips lose, as they usually do.

This Rumour smacks of Adelaide getting upset that they missed out on Petty also there are rumours that Goodwin maybe in their Sights as they are disappointed with their coach  if this is so Clarry will be overjoyed he doesnt get along with Goodwin 

Huh????!

They are extremely close.

I think that was sarcasm.

This Rumour

It was never a rumour, it was unfounded speculation (not unlike the rest of your risible post).

Not the clearest example of the use of sarcasm, though. So unclear that I’m still not sure it is sarcasm.

You are unsure it was sarcasm? Ok.

Yes I’m unsure. Sarcasm is usually unambiguous but that post is confusing. Perhaps @Ferghus31 can explain?

Tom Morris is like a defective parrot. He only knows how to repeat the same thing over and over again. 

[Demonstone 23,580]

He may be pining for the fjords.

I didn't back it as I priced it at 12/1

Centre Square a horse I am in with Clarry, won the 3rd race today at Ballarat.

 

I've never seen so many people happy on this thread about news that doesn't shed light on his future with us, doesn't have an effect on the team and doesn't effect the people who liked it in any way whatsoever!

Congrats though Mr Leg.

Imagine if Clarry did a Tyson Stengle, the media & footy world would go into a frenzied meltdown 

Different rules apply for different clubs

And it’s not like Stengle hasn’t got form in this area….

Would love to know how Geelong could legitimately satisfy us in a deal for Clarry. There’s simply no way they could appease us.

Max Holmes and their first pick

[Young Angus 875]

They’re a bunch of clowns seriously. 

[Skuit 10,031]

Geelong did a serious number on us at the end of 2020 (stirring the pot for Viney, outbidding us for Isaac Smith's services, and then jumping the exposed MFC draft order to claim Max Holmes), which has had significant repercussions on our second wing recruiting ever since. See Billings and Hunter and Freeman. 

I say we turn the tables and make a bold play at uniting party-boys Oliver and Bailey at the MFC. We have better draft cookies than Geelong, and a starting midfield/wing line-up of Gawn, Clarry, Trac, Viney, B. Smith and Langdon would be one of the greatest ever assembled, with Pickett, Rivers and hopefully Judd running through. 

[Maxie 22]

Where’s Caleb Windsor in that line up? Don’t mind Bailey Sniff but much  prefer Caleb who is, and will be, an absolute gun.

As long as we get out of most of the contract you’re massively over valuing Oliver’s current worth. 
 

Put it another way, if he was at another club what would you offer to get him to Melbourne?
