Recruiting - where did it all go wrong
Harry Sharp is a step in the right direction. We are in a rebuild and he fits our demographic. It’s all about the next opportunity now. Replenishing our list. We have made a lot of trade blunders, that were forgotten about when we won a flag. That’s why we only won the one. Now back to the well, and hopefully, we learnt something.

The standard of umpiring?
Geelong play at home knowing the umpire sensitivities. Their players will just stop playing, and just expect the free. Some call it the “Nick Daicos Effect”, but I think Dangerfield started the trend. The game of Aussie Rules has changed, and certain teams, manipulate umpiring trends. Geelong, Hawthorn, Bulldogs, Collingwood, are just a few that do it really well. Could be worse 5-6 goals to them In some games, and it’s hard to go against the momentum of that.

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
Petracca is in his prime, and is currently being wasted. He hasn’t lost a step. He is obviously frustrated, as many (most) of us are. It’s frustratingly obvious that our list would derive great benefit from replacing Goodwin.

Welcome to Demonland Matthew Jefferson
Needs time. Still a couple years away. Has all the tools to be a special player. But needs to mature.

2024 Phantom Drafts
Pick 5 and 9 are tremendous positions to be in this draft. I wouldn’t split 9. I think we’ll get quality at 5. We’ll get a top 3 slider at 5, and a top 5 slider at 9. So long as JT don’t reach for a Kolt, when a Darcy Wilson is right there for the taking. Hoping we’ve learnt the lesson. Smokey selections, save for the latter picks.

He will need to tap into such resilience if he’s to succeed at MFC.

KOZZY A DEMON FOR LIFE!!!
If Kozi does want to head to WA. I’d move him on for pick 10 and Freos 2025 1st. it’s unders for us. But if he does legitimately want to leave, he’s the type of player who could just not put in if he didn’t get his wish.

Lachie Hunter Retires
Hunter can afford to dip off early. Wealthy lad, don’t need to be out on a footy field.

2024 Brownlow Medal
Bont is the best I’ve seen since Ablett jr. I wouldn’t have Cripps anywhere near that discussion.

Goodwin Gifts Daicos Brownlow
Sparrow would blanket Daicos. Not sure we have anyone else who could. When Oliver and Trac are up and running, Daicos would find less opportunities. I’d nearly even run 3 dominant mids through next year and not tag Daicos again.
