Lots to be excited about! Some really nice young talent there and with 4 first round picks in the next two years I’m pumped for the future. Also excited for next year without the burden of expectation.. can just enjoy watching the team grow up under a new exciting system. New Dawn. New Day.

lol.. of course!

You have some talent on that bench.. I’d been quite forgetful of AMW, I reckon he starts over CJ. Melk over Sparrow maybe? Though I appreciate the run that’s required.. don’t know if he has the legs anymore. Would consider Rivers over Langford in the middle for now, Langford back to the wing and Langdon on the bench.. can all rotate amongst themselves.

Exactly. If it was always about Humphrey, then if it doesn’t happen there is nothing saying we’re forced to take the next best option.

I’ve started to wonder this myself. If we have gone so hard at Humphrey, as DF has so generously suggested, then if it doesn’t come off why not back down. There has been no suggestion that Trac is aggressively agitating to leave, just that he would if he could. And the club has said they continue to love him as well. Humphrey or Trac would be a fine outcome either way for me

Why do they hate us so much…

Probably worth also stating that Simon Goodwin, Adam Kingsley ain’t.. There will be no Clarry kid gloves at GWS

I’ll also add that throughout 2025 when Clayton repeatedly slammed the ball on to his boot directly to an opposition player, which often caught us on the rebound, I often said to myself that he might find the ball but he kills us when he does. I need reminding of that. He was miles from a winning player this year.

We have to turn the page. We saw this year that the team with Petracca and Oliver was no longer going to work. It’s painful, but it’s the new brigade’s team and that is indisputable to them now. Hopefully they can rise to the occasion under King.

I’m torn. The fact it’s a supposedly weak draft makes me nervous, otherwise I’d be fine. It’s not like we would be total babies in the middle though. We still have Viney, despite his limitations, and obviously Riv who is a senior player now. Langford, Lindsay and Windsor still have space to develop. So it’s not the total disaster some are making it out to be.. but I would obviously still prefer Humphrey who is more of a known quantity.

I took that to mean he’s off the reservation and not communicating with anybody

I don’t actually believe this, but is there a chance this is some grand stitch up by Clayton to make the media look like [censored]? Would be evil genius if it was.

Pretty sure based on what we’ve now seen that Clarry has the perception, self awareness and communication ability of a two year old. Who knows what he thinks he was told or what he relayed.

Can I just say, you should all be very proud of the excellent gif use today. Truly excellent.

These trades don’t happen in isolation. If Suns start edging that way, then MFC say to them in no uncertain terms we will not accept picks and if they trade with the Pies, Tracc stays in Melbourne. Suns lose.
