Now predicting 43 degrees! That’s just insane for Melbourne

Maybe due to the forecast tomorrow?

PF bit of pot calling the kettle black here. You have been going on and on about Jeffo who hasn’t shown much yet.

I think he could also be trialled as a key defender. I reckon he would be solid at afl level as a full back, don’t think he has enough tricks to be a forward or part time ruck.

That will be the VIC government contribution. Well I’d say $15m-$30m. Still not moving the needle. Do you understand the difference between $30m and $1 billion?

$15m for local sports fields isn’t swinging any election, so it’s irrelevant and won’t impact on this. Both a Labor or Lib government would be funding improvements to local facilities. They spend billions on infrastructure projects, $15m is a drop in the ocean.

Pumped to see Riv get a nod for the WA team. I’m also hopeful maybe he will get the nod for VC this year, we need to start bringing through the younger leaders!

The new iOS update on my iPhone has been killing me recently….

But I will say I like the current emblem a lot more than the monstrosity that Cameron Schwab came up with

Obviously the home base is the most important issue, but I’m not a big fan of our current emblem. I find it very boring and uninspiring. I’d love to see us incorporate the Demon back into, but still use the monogram on the jerseys and some merchandise.

You don’t think dealing with a range of different businesses in Victoria wouldn’t give him experience? I also think networking is probably the most important part of the CEOs role also, which is why Gil was so much better than Dillon. I also believe Guerra was the managing director of Optum International/United Health group, vice president at Motorola and a director at Vodafone.

How’s he moving? Hard coming back form an Achilles injury

I think it’s a really good thing given the experience and success Cook has had. Guerra obviously has extensive business experience and great connections in Victoria, but fast tracking his knowledge on football matters makes sense.

Not offended, it’s just part of the issue he had with us. Minimising crazy actions and no accountability.

What a ridiculous comment. If the Giants laugh about that stuff then good for them, but it was an immature act.

Harry Petty was tracking as a great key defender and was part of a flag at 21. Goodwin and co then decided that we don’t need a genuine forward, instead we can turn Petty into a forward. I’m all for him being our main defender moving forward.

Love your optimism

Would love your thoughts on the following: Trelly Pickett - how does he look on the track and do you think he is a high chance for round 1? Riley Onley - does he move well and look solid through the midfield? X Taylor - could he be the Bowey replacement?

Maybe he does. He only played a half game on Sunday, so seems they may be managing his minutes that way.

Rivers played most of the game down back, so I would like to see Howes come in to play that role and move Rivers to the middle and May in for Lever as the only changes. Ins: Howes & May Outs: Lever & Sparrow B: Bowey May Turner HB: McVee McDonald Salem C: Windsor Oliver Lindsay HF: Chandler van Rooyen Petracca F: Viney Jefferson Melksham R: Gawn Rivers Pickett Int: Langdon Howes Langford Fritsch Sub: Tholstrup

Time to put Lever on ice for the remainder of the season. Get him 100% right for day one of pre season. I'd bring May back in for Lever and bring Petty back through the twos. I also wouldn't be dropping JVR or Jeffo the rest of this season, unless through injury or needing a rest. If they are both fit then potentially Petty can come back in as a key defender.

Trade articles are one of the biggest click generators in the media.... Have been told this by a mate in the industry.

Worpel is a free agent. Derksen would be a late pick given GWS haven't even played him. Then we also have future picks from 2026 and 2027 we can trade.

I reckon part of it may be due to his form this year, primarily due to his hamstring injury. He maybe was hoping to eek out some more cash based on form but that may have backfired a little. Probably hoping he hits his peak the last 7 rounds.

No way I would do that trade. Voss is average and just looks ok playing as a 3rd tall behind Treacy and Amiss.
