My understanding was that the exit meetings were held in the last week of August? This chimes with our earlier delistings.

Accept your explanation of course, though across the AFL all the exit meetings for teams not in finals seem to have been held in that week in August. Not sure why May's would have been delayed?

Idk why his was delayed. I just know that it was delayed and that it took place yesterday morning.

    I'm just asking as I find the idea .."odd"

    How does 'someone' accidentally LEAK something...and to the 'wrong people' ??

    I do have sympathy for May. Must be a kick in the gut.

    Really interesting, given there was media coverage around the CBA requirement that clubs release their players by the first Wednesday after their season ends (what with the GC v Essendon delayed game).

    We must have received an exemption, or this was a “second” exit meeting or something.

    Do you know if anyone else's was delayed?

    Presumably though, if they're being delayed it's because the club is/has been considering their list/contract status. Surely there's no other reason. Perhaps the May decision was held over till we had clarity on Mihocek, Adams, Derkson and potential movement in those areas - apparently there were clubs sniffing around Adams, so we may have promised him more game time.

    Apparently he wasn’t the only one whose meeting was delayed. But also, it’s not that clear cut… some players (Fritta for example) were told on day one of exit meetings they’re a required player (along with other definitive statements) and that was it. I’m guessing not all exits were so cut and dried.

    100% agree.

    But I think a key factor to support Adams to thrive is Petty going back and taking the oppo's best key forward freeing Adams up to play Lever's zone off interceptor role.

    Adams is an excellent kick, better than Lever, so if we can get him intercepting around the half back line and settimg up transition chains.

    Yep, Petty at full back, Adams as the Petty of 2021 second tall, and Turner the Lever-like interceptor who can join in quickly on offence and is cat-like at ground level.

    So if the three key backs are say Adams, Petty and Lever, does that mean Turner (who i rate as our best key back and key forward prospect) goes forward again?

    No Lever for mine. He becomes depth like TMac.

    Of course, the FD may see this differently, but this would be my 2026 defensive team if given the powers.

    Knowing our trading success not only won’t we attract a Flanders type but we won’t be able to give away a Premiership FB either. So Melbourne. I’m in my negative about the club phase watching Prelims like these again!!

    And then those "wrong people" leak it to Tom Morris? Are the "wrong people" our leakers? How was May OK with the leak? Was there a second shooter? Will our boy sign next week?

    All this and more, next time on MFC uncovered.

    Tmac was asked to find a club as well a few years back ... isn't gone yet and MAY still play FF

    The key is how the responds. Tmac took it as a drive to win his place back. May as a big burly gf may work. It would negate his speed drop off. I guess we’ll see if we get any offers.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
