Happy to be wrong, hoping I’m wrong.. 

Could certainly happen. Especially if we miss finals again

However Clarry worth can't be much worse than it is now (Cats would have screwed us with a 2nd rounder)

Trac is under an injury cloud.

So if it does happen hopefully we don't regret and can actually get more for them

    Two things.....Are we creating a confused atmosphere where Trac is perceived to be under a permanent injury cloud though the whole year 2025?

                            Put up your hand if you were one of the ones who said Petty was gone, thinking of going, heard he was going {reliable source} knew he was going or just gullible enough.

    I'm in favour of trading Oliver because premierships are being won by teams moving the ball quickly through the corridor and Oliver isn't suited to that style of play.  We need to get players in who are quick and good by foot.

    Oliver has burst speed... is as quick by hand as anyone and almost always kicks down the corridor... Your point?

    Dude, Oliver at or near his best is our only hope of snagging a flag over the next few years. Forget how teams our winning flags atm, it's all about how the next team wins a flag and although I'm doubtful it'll be us it won't be because we didn't trade Oliver for a peanut.

    Come on now, when Oliver is up and going his ability to get the hard ball and breaking out of congestion then quickly dishing out to someone in space by hand is the best in the comp.

    A fit and firing Clarry is the he key, his hand was buggered all year and admittedly fitness not up to scratch.

    He owes us & deserves one last chance to get back to the form of his first 150 games 

     

    Getting good ball users is they key when given the space by Clarry

    If Oliver can keep addressing his non football issues then he may get back to the elite fitness levels AFL demands and once again be a valuable player for the Dees after 2 years of effectively zero production due to those non football issues.

    Will he be at the Dees in 2025? We'll know at the end of trade period. Sometimes reservoirs of patience and energy can be exhausted. Football clubs are no different.

    Personally I thought he played it well. He's not at the club to be a media performer. He answered pretty honestly considering what's been going on. Whether he is the right man for the job should always be up for debate but hanging him for that interview....i don't think so. He didn't "Roffey" it.  Feels to me that Pert's walking away unscathed and considering where we find ourselves that's plain wrong imho. I don't think our President and board are up to the job and I hope the reviews point the spotlight firmly in their direction. As for Pert, I hope we're actively looking for a replacement.

    Judge and jury, what the hell, just lynch them all, they made us embarrassed and angry so they deserve to die. What about the clubs that we have been talking to “confidentially” do you think they may have reasons to leak the confidential discussions  to the media. Oh by the way Tom, Mitch etc we are having Clayton meet a couple of our boys out on the Farm, I think Geeelong haven’t gotten over the embarrassment of that Slaughter in the Preliminary Final. Our recruiting team were hung out to dry in the public domain. Who can Tim Trust.???

    Good point about Tracca Wilmoy1947 he is in Austria preparing his body for a big 2025 we should expect the warrior that he is to be ready to go at the end of preseason.


    Just think, if Clarrie gets fit of mind and body and his hand is healed, His ability to get the ball out to Windsor who could then break lines is very appealing. Windsor and Trac bursting could be key to a faster moving team especially from stoppage.

    Damian Barrett is so pro-Geelong it is embarrassing. That he should be in the AFL website - which should be objective- is a joke.  He is all about how great "Jezza", "Danger" or Scott is, and also, if he can get half a chance to slag off Melbourne he jumps at it. He clearly has an agenda: to destabilise Melbourne and Oliver and thus get Oliver to Geelong. And BTW, if Clarry is past it and out of date in his style, why is everyone so interested in pursuing him?

     

    I hope and believe he will be at Melbourne next year, hopefully on his way to his THIRD AFLCA medal.

    The club will regret not trading one of the players you mentioned because (you have a feeling) one or more will request a trade next year? I don’t think your post will be viewed as “unpopular”, more so just bizarre.

    Clarry needs a MASSIVE 2025

    FC has given him a lot of leeway and he simply needs to start focusing

    That would amaze me but if you know that, then you know it. But I stand by what I said. He is forever kissing Geelong's you know what, and on the rare occasions that he isn't, he is bagging Melbourne.

    Possibly too much leeway 

    Time for a number of our players to repay the faith that the club has put in them through very lucrative contracts

    Trac will play more forward than midfield next year, we need a quicker skilled type midfield next year.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
