There's key forwards and there's key forwards. Richmond, Geelong and now Brisbane got or are getting top line KF's who are in their prime (Lynch, Cameron, and Allen). Mihocek would have been a good pick up 3 years ago. If we were contending next year, I don't mind him if it was a 2 year deal. But if the club is ok with trading Trac for draft picks, then we don't see ourselves as contending next year.

So if Ross is saying "we're", then he's referring to the Saints. And I somehow doubt that any coach would say that another club is a front runner when the player hasn't nominated a club.

So the average footy supporter that said that Grundy was a bad fit for us was clueless? Same goes for those that wanted Roffey, Pert and Goody ousted before it happened? Lamb may not be solely involved in luring players from other clubs and trading picks, but as the list manager he is involved in all these decisions.

If you are referring to Tim Lamb, you are 100% correct. And it's fair to say that the fans could have done a better job evaluating a fair trade over the past 4 years than our list manager.

If Petracca wants to leave, then we should stipulate to his management what are our minimum requirements. We then let his management do the negotiating with other clubs. If they can't meet our requirements, we hold him to his contract. At least we save face with Trac, because we value him more than his suitors. Under no circumstances should we let him go to "the best offer".

That's all well and good, but we haven't been able to attract a player of quality since May. Despite winning the flag and being in a premiership window, we haven't been a destination club. And once Trac leaves, most would see us as being in a rebuild and even less of a destination club.

Not at all. Simpkin fits the Lamb prototype of a player being on the decline, and doesn't address a need at the Dees McAdam and Sharp aren't getting paid $900k and potentially addressed a need. A big no to Simpkin.

It's par for the course on Demonland to venerate Spargo, a plodder who has left the club, and stick the boots into Judd, a talented player who is still on our list. It's amazing that since the season ended, Judd has gone from being an important member of our team, to a plodder who is expendable. And I don't believe for one minute that he is contemplating leaving based on being guaranteed a positional change at another club.

Players come and go. I support the club. And what I've said is mild compared to some of [censored] written about Petracca, Oliver and May.

Cal Twomey has stated that we will get a late pick. North have offered him 3 years on probably low dollars.

The most overrated player by Demonlanders. A small forward who didn't kick goals and averaged 11 possessions. Also isn't an elite pressure player. His supposed elite disposal was a Demonland myth. Spargo's best season was actually his 1st in 2018. Couldn't care less that he played in the premiership team. Glad to see him gone.

Spargo getting a 4yr deal after 2021 shows the level of our list management in competence. Delist and let him list clog somewhere else.

You are kidding right? The players are not naive to think that Goodwin's job was safe. No finals wins since 2021, with a list that most said would be a dynasty. Do you really think that Melksham will give up a $400-$500 salary out of loyalty to Goodwin? Hopefully this is just the beginning. Tim Lamb has to be next. Our list management has been pathetic.

The primary role of a coach is to get the best out of the players, so it is on Goodwin. Our gameplan hasn't changed since 2021. Our mids have always bombed it long, even in 2021. The players are devoid of confidence, and it's all on Goodwin. Under a new coach, I can see us turning things around, provided that we keep all our top end talent. If Goodwin stays, I fear that we'll have a mass exodus.

Are they in labour?
