We had some good conversations with him but he’s told us that he’s happy in Perth and will be re-signing with Freo. 

He could be more happy in Melbourne, things change 💰

Nup. Never do. 

As I have noted many times i decided to stop getting caught up and wound up by players leaving  or rumoured to be leaving after being devastated and furious when Gerard Healy defected to the swans.

That decision has saved me much angst over the years - not least in the last six months with all the tracc, clarry and koz want out, where there's smoke there's fire nonsense.

If he goes, he goes. Just as I said about tracc we hold the whip hand in any negotiations so we'll do fine.

Depends what having him for 3 more years is worth, besides we could always demand a player back doesn’t have to be picks, on top of that if it’s just go home then why not wc 

Yeah, Harley Reid seems like a fair swap if Freo don't want to let go of Andrew Brayshaw.


We could take a leaf out of Peter Bell's book in his dealings with us for the Cerra* trade i.e. Freo' don't have the trade currency to entertain a discussion let alone a deal.

In Harry hindsight, I'm glad we missed out on Cerra and hope we miss out on Peter Bell for CEO.

They sure do. Let's see what happens. I won't be holding my breath.

If he wants to go why can’t he go to the Eagles? 

He might have to... just because he wants to go to the Dockers doesn't mean they can get a deal done with 2 years running on a contract.

If they finish top 8 this season their 1st pick won't be enough, however you would think the Eagles will be in the bottom 4.

I'm still hopeful he plans to stay for at least the next 2 years, but plenty of water to go under the bridge.

I also love how the media come out and speak as if its a fait accompli, completely ignoring the fact he's contracted and not a free agent. That's the way they operate these days though, because trade talk is the number one seller of news.

I have no idea if Bell wants the Melbourne CEO role, or whether Melbourne wants Bell. But, just for the purposes of this thread discussion, let's just say that's going to happen. How should Bell deal with this latest Pickett news/gossip right now?

If he met the height requirement he’d be overqualified!

Pretty obvious it's Michael Walters in the photo, who Kozzie looks up to. If he starts liking photos of Neil Erasmus, we'll know he's gone

I don't mind if he leaves.  It will accelerate the rebuild. 

I don't read replies or reactions 

Good to know you don't read replies and reactions.

Can I ask you a few questions?

Why do you post a football fan forum?

Do you take the same approach to texts and emails?

Are you wanting other posters to make a note of some sort that you don't read replies and reactions?

Are you a bot?

That's a pity, I was going to offer you $1000 to expand on your thoughts ...

Anyone who openly writes that they don’t read replies or reactions is admitting that that’s all they read - and that it really affects them. Try not to take the reactions to your terrible opinions too seriously…

Also talk that Freo are heavily into Ian Hill from Collingwood.

  • 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?
