Mitch Cleary reckons we’re trying to get him out of retirement, per channel 7 news tonight.

Melksham and Goodwin are links and his uncle had a thing or two to do with the club.

I don’t think so.

Would be very interesting but not a pick I think would work for us or Joe.

It’s totally desperate

And I love it 🤣

April already ??

Its a good attempt but in my opinion its about 0.5%chance of happening.

Hes a very private person and has business interests outside of footy that i believe he'll embark on.

Club has hit rock bottom

Very random idea, but I'm all for it.

32 start of next year.

Doesn't address the Elephants aka 'delivery system '

No chance. He's done with football

He’s leaving Ocean Shores and proximity to Bruns and BB for freezing cold Melbourne?!

Haha I love this, totally support it, love Joe and his whole "vibe" but I doubt he's unhappy with the way he finished off his career with the fairytale ending.

Would love it though!

Go home Melbourne, you’re drunk

My thoughts too. It’s as much about the delivery into I50 and our forward line strategies or lack thereof, as the calibre of our forward cattle! Yes it would be great to have a 200 cm plus, pack crashing, high marking focal point up forward but they are hard to find. Not sure Joe would be the answer but if he was keen well maybe at a reasonable price.

I still believe with much better delivery and much better forward craft and teamwork that we could construct a very serviceable forward line from the following - Fritsch, Kossie, Turner, Melksham, Petty, Chandler, Spargo, JVR, Jefferson, Tracc, Langford and I would throw in May as an option to extend his career and Viney as a defensive small forward. And hopefully a full preseason for Kentfield would add to the mix.

P.S. If we don’t sharpen up our set shot goal kicking accuracy it’s all a waste of time.

Genuinely one of the dumbest ideas I've ever seen a footy club actually consider.

Embarrassing and desperate from a list management team that hasn't been able to lure anyone of note for 5 years.

We’re not the only club to ask the question

Anyone in support of this can leave through the same door as Goodwin, Richardson and Choco.

[censored].

he's better than what we already have so why not.

he is the forward equivalent of Frosty. not good for those with an anxious disposition

Is it APRIL 1ST … ? Surely a joke!!!

Perhaps one of the reasons we have such poor delivery into the forward line is because we have such poor forwards - or forwards who aren't exactly screaming for it or who you'd back in. The players seem to do OK at hitting up Pickett.

Joe Daniher: Long shot, but great that the club is being active and leaving no stone unturned. Would seriously straighten us up.
