27.

You’d think the plan is that he’ll be here until at least the end of 2026 and then possibly be traded at that point, at peak value, before he becomes a free agent where we’d only get a singular draft pick via compo.

    We were very interested in small forward Joe Berry from last year's draft who went to Port Adelaide.

    Jason Taylor and his team made several trips up the border here to Wangaratta to interview over the course of the year.

    Maybe worth keeping an eye on over the next few years.

    If Freo got their way, they would’ve snapped Berry up, but Port jumped ahead. Reckon Berry would’ve been in red and blue had he gone to Freo and Koz wanted to go the other way at the end of this season.

    This is a complete non-issue given that Kozzie is contracted for another three seasons. The Dockers are being mischievous if they are bringing it up so unless they are prepared to offer us both Andrew Brayshaw and Serong in exchange, they would be wise to look elsewhere.

    That the club has been silent on Gleesons obvious conflict - most specifically the Maynard case - has turned me right off the club. Shockingly soft. 

    That is bring a soft fan if ever I have heard of it. 

    Yes a statement of protest before the result would have been sensible after it was known that MRO Christian dated he would resign if there was a case when Laura Kane over took the action to charge the AFL should not allow a Pies conflicted official like Gleeson to be anywhere near the case. It should be a rule in the tribunal and other cases that that’s not allowed. 

    That  should have been placed as a change for the AFL to make to their Tribunal cases in the future.

    Christian should also have been moved on at that time and replaced by an independent MRO Officer who had no history of Club affiliation. 

    But to give up on the Club is weak and unproductive in the extreme.

    When Maynard gets nothing for ending a career and Kozzie gets 3 for an unlucky bump, the system is stuffed.

    The BS technicalities applied to get big club’s players off like Cripps, who ended a Lions’ season, are symptomatic of a money above all else based sport. 

    Irrespective of the circumstances (sure, he was unlucky to connect with Moore's head), his initial action was to choose to bump. And players have been on notice about bumping for quite a while now. His action was undisciplined, which seems to be becoming a regular thing with Pickett. He needs to get it out of his game.

    I’m starting to think you are the Maynard equivalent on this board 58er. Always playing/attacking at the man (other poster’s), whilst in play (on the topic), sniping away. 
     

    Just saying.

    Perhaps you left your self wide open for a response. It’s a forum and who else should I attack theMFC.? 

    I have given my response and honestly believe if every supporter abandoned the Club for such a small as you have threatened we wouldn’t have many fans left. 

    Yes the Club shoild have been more proactive but support the Club or are you just looking for an easy way to not buy a membership?

    Yep because contracted players never request trades/get traded.

    They can be, but the power lies with the club that has the contract. They can choose the trade if the price is right. If the dockers low balled Richmond over Shai Bolton they wouldn’t have traded him. Just turned out the dockers had multiple first round picks.

    Why do you need to attack anyone at all - you have an option not to. It is an option.

     With the salary cap set to hit a staggering $17.7m in 2025, the number of annual million-dollar players is set to surge.

    Lets have a rough guess at Dockers high rollers.

    Jackson. Darcy. Brayshaw. Serong. Pearce. Young. Bolton.  Cox. Treacy. Clark. Amiss and Warner next year.

    I would guess about $8m for 8 of them and $3m for the other 4.

    That would leave at a guess about $6.5m for the other 32 players on the list.

    That is about $203k per player. Fyfe, Walters, Frederick etc in that group of 32.

    Don't think they have a lot of money to splash around if they get Warner.

    Jeez i wish i was in charge of list management.

    Trac and Kozzie,you signed big Multi Million/Year deals,you are both staying until the end of your contract,suck it up.

    Contracts seem so worthless these days,all players are Free agents,regardless of age,I want to go home for family reasons.

     

     

    It also has to be balanced against the negligent claims and tirades of disrespectful, opportunity-knocks, put-down observers in the media, riddling in other clubs with their loyalties and fanciful desires as if the  player concerned, the Club concerned and the general public are open and malleable-enough to believe, or accept or focus on such utter tripe churned out in the name of income or stirring of excrement for advantage.

    I'm not sure if this is something Freo have brought up or the West Australian, and yes, it's a non-issue, because they're only referring to his exit interview last October where he stated he is homesick at times, but the media conveniently left out that he is happy with the way the club handles that, and allows him time to go home on occasion.  What new information is there now?  None!  It the rag of a newspaper being mischievous.  Again.

    A Freo supporter on Bigfooty alleges Kozzie had a meeting with Longmuir and he couldn’t have reached for the exit door quick enough.

    Hopedully there is a semblance of truth to that.

    Kozzie or Longmuir?

    I’m honestly sick of this home sickness [censored].
     

    I have friends and family who work overseas (Europe, Africa, Asia, NA) doing all kinds of work ranging from finance, healthcare, high level IT work, large scale infrastructure development etc which are examples of work that require specialized training and they make do with Zoom and face time calls.

    They only rarely ever visit home during the holiday period and specialized times. 

    BUT, god forbid these AFL footballers growing homesick when domestic flights are 2, 3, 4, 5 hours away… don’t get me started on tennis players like John Millman, now retired toiling away in the top 100 mark 42 weeks per year just trying to make a living worldwide and hardly anytime to visit home. 🤦‍♂️

    You sign a contract so you stay until it expires!

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
