I wonder how Max Gawn is feeling after all the effort he has put in over the past 12 months. Would it be relief or pure anger at how this ended? I also doubt we will ever know the truth behind the decision.

My kingdom for a stable, smart, proactive, water tight football club. We are a disgrace.

Do we get to save a penny or two??

No we will get to read all about it in ten years time in the two memoirs 'The Tender of the Vines' and 'Times Gawn By'

I would be surprised if he wasn’t consulted/ involved to a degree in the decision

Not across everything & not wanting to lose Oliver, but if this does eventuate why we only looking at a future 1st and not this years? I assume because this years first goes for Bailey Smith. Surely Oliver would warrant our choice of this years or next.

Isn’t there a “Mr. Brownlow” in Oliver Twist? I see what’s happening here.

I'm asking if you know for sure if he's gone. Sam McClure is the only one who has said that Clarry wants to be traded and even then he has said that Clarry knows that it will be difficult to get done. 

I heard it from a source 100% more reliable than Sam McClure that he will seek a trade in the next 24 hours. We will see if that eventuates. Same source has got a few wrong but got the Kennedy / Howe trade and the Toumpas choice before anyone else.

This is actually all bat**** crazy.
 

After picking up the phone to Geelong knowing they had bugger to trade with AND they already had Bailey Smith in their sights, if Melbourne go “nah, we’re gonna keep him, we don’t like the  look of what you’re offering” that would be the most outrageous, stupid and cruel (to Clarry) thing I’ve have ever witnessed in football. If we had a proper president Pert would get the flick in an instant.

"cruel to clarry"?  puleez, give me a break

this is all on clarry.  the talk of clarry's off field behaviour has been the talk of the town for years and now it seems it really wasn't just so much talk

hard to feel sorry for clarry for all the damage done to the club despite all the help he has been given

I think that pick has been informally committed to Dogs for some time. Dogs want more though. If that deal falls through I’d imagine Smith will nominate for national draft and Geel will use that pick on him

There are major clarry stories that are widely known within AFL circles that have not yet leaked into the mainstream AFL community. Some seemed so riiculous that you wondered but then again...

Geelong can’t get it done, unless they off load something of serious value. I don’t think they have much they can afford to let go.

Geelong can get anything done - add another taxpayer funded bay of seats while you are at it.

Everyone seems under the assumption that its only going to be a two club transaction. Geelong knows very well they will need to get at least one other team involved to get the draft capital to make it work. They are an excellent creative recruiting team.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
