If they are offering rubbish picks, do we try get a player back?

I still reserve the right to boo him

With talk that he has been in contact with Hawthorn for 2 months- it’s going to be hard to get him to nominate us. We have very little appeal, other than a new coach and new gameplan.. plus plenty of freed up cash.

Would not surprise me to see him in Brown n Gold

Going to be very difficult to get him to commit to us, without paying him overs and GCS overs as well. In my opinion, he is not a straight swap for Tracc. We would need another first round pick to at least be a serious option. If I was in his position, I’d play out his contract, potentially get success in a very strong side, then move to TAS on a mega contract.

He can’t play midfield anymore as he simply lets opposition walk the ball out the front of the square. Tough call, but having seen our midfield obliterated by GC and North this year, change is needed.

Yeah, did see that.. pretty funny

I want a club full of invested players, who are a tight group, all working their butts off for team success. Whether that translates to wins next year to me is irrelevant. I want an attacking style of gameplan that brings joy to players and supporters. I’m sick of player run agendas. #InKingyWeTrust

It was a good, comprehensive update. Understand a lot is kept in house, but he has said what he can and was open with the situation. I like the new direction the media team are taking, nice as members to be informed and entertained.

Really impressed with Kings media work. He fills me with confidence that we are in good hands, and that we will play an attractive brand of football, that I crave! Yes, I am a romantic, who gets carried away… but isn’t that why we love the game and blind faith is what gets us through the tough times!

Glad to have a new coach, wish him well in making us a strong side again. Can’t wait till 2026

Stating the obvious, but we need a tall key forward who can jump. We have lots of 192-195 types, but we lack the 200+cm key forward that other sides have. Critical for the kick to a congested contest. I think a good forward mix includes a 200 cm, King type (Petty is not the guy) a 194cm roaming CHF (JVR could be this if he learns to mark and develops some forward craft, or Kentfield) and a couple of 188-190 types mobile, yet strong aerial forwards (Fritta and possible another one required to replace Melksham)

My greatest hatred in the game, is when a player wins a free kick, for holding the ball for example, they push the player on the ground. They should reverse the free kick for poor sportsmanship.

I might be wrong, but didn’t Trac flick his agent, now his current agent isn’t accredited to engage in trade negotiations?

Not a Buckley fan, but the standards he sets will be high. Players will be hard fit.

Was a smart footballer. Like Caracella, worked incredibly hard and always found space.

One thing I noticed was how poor our defensive setup was. We played well in front and allowed Collingwood to get out the back goal side so many times. We tempt the kick, but can’t stop it.

Trac was in Boweys way

Sub Tracc offf

Pies out working us is the real issue. They flood back to defend, then spread. Until we rediscover gut running- we are complete frauds

May needs to call it at the end of the year. Father time

Big game this weekend. It could be for the ‘Christian Petracca Cup’

I think I read Lindsay is unavailable with Hamstring.

Got the same jumper. Comes out on romantic nights with the Mrs..

I would think May comes in for Adam’s, Howes and Windsor both out. Would like to see Viney dropped and Salem but not sure it happens. Lindsay, Kolt and Spargo all in the frame to play. Kynan Brown and Kentfield are Smokey’s. On another note, Petty and JVR played their best game together this year. Hope they continue to build form and connection.
