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 

    Lets see why you get the big $$$ fellas

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

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
