Seems a good kid. We should try to get him.

What a get he would be.👍

They all say that.

What's the bet Petracca is doing all he can to poison his mind against us.

I think there will be a bigger push next year. His management will have a longer run to get GCS on board.

Problem is there are probably a handful other clubs that will now be aware of the situation.

From a footy perspective, there is a good chance that we could become abysmal and drop to the levels of West Coast, North Melbourne, Richmond, which would make coming back to Melbourne FC in particular less attractive.

I feel like we had our chance this year and failed to make it happen. Time will tell whether XT and Trelly end up being the better alternative.

Me too. And if that's the case, Gold Case will want to trade with a year left rather than the year after when he's out of contract.

Someone remind us what the particular emotional, social and/or 'football' connections he had with us?

As to attractiveness from a football perspective, the 2026 performances of our new and new-ish young brigade might be more important than ladder position?

I am happy with those two.

We can try again for BH next year, but I would be just as happy drafting two more good kids and saving the millions.

Another Langford and Lindsay would be a great addition to our revamping list.
