Exactly. He might well end up a key defender . At #70 or whatever we’ve picked up a bloke who kicked 53 goals at Laverton and then played a whole year at Werribee as CHF, and they won the flag. I think it’s a great selection

Plainly some senior players believe that Goodwin’s increased anxiety and seriousness have not assisted him, or the playing group. IMV that’s entirely understandable in the light of the year we’ve just experienced. I think that all of these developments playing out now, rather than in Feb/ March give us every prospect of a much better year

Too cynical by far mate! Like most supporters we are keen to hear asap what the two Reviews have found. They are hardly leaks as Steve Smith is openly referring to them

If Brad Green’s comments are true, Pert has reached his own decision, having raised the subject with the former president many weeks ago. Has achieved a lot.Whilst I’m pleased he is leaving,this is not the time to be bagging him IMV

Parker, Perhaps.,Darling, hell no. Way past his best

Is it valid simply to rate him as a key forward? I don’t see why he couldn’t turn into a good CHB . Good judges are pointing out we have to build up defensive strength for the future .Having said that, he is an excellent accurate kick. If we ended up with him at 9 I’d be delighted

Well, yes, but it is a verbatim quote from Clarry, utterly supportive of MFC . And repeated again verbatim in The Hun. Most favourable material from Clarry, let’s rejoice in it

Well your mate Daz was passing on material which is totally at odds with material available for all of us to see. There was the podcast of an hour or so which we had access to ten days ago, Clarry spoke with warmth about MFC and his fellow players. And then the interview at Caulfield yesterday . If the CEO did “ shop him around” that’s amazingly stupid and I don’t blame Clarry for looking around. But that’s past, he is fully committed , let’s relish the situation and get on

Can he actually get the ball? It’s fairly important in footy !

The searching questions hurled at Tim Lamb today appear to reveal a catastrophic situation within the Club.Those in football management had no intention of losing Oliver , yet others, and apparently Pert, have indicated he might be traded. He has been permitted to visit Geelong, mingle with their players etc. Then he announces he will stay with MFC! The word shambles is being bandied around and IMV it is justified. If we didn’t all love the club so much we’d be bursting our sides laughing . Yet the CEO has said nothing. The President has announced Oliver is staying but offered no explanation as to how this farce occurred. Whilst the present situation continues our club is doomed for 2025 and beyond . Time cannot be allowed to run on, whilst the Reviews are conducted. We need an explanation NOW . If the CEO was acting on his own initiative then he should very carefully consider his positions

But did he? Evidence please!,,

This interview shows that we would be MAD to let him go. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with his relationship with his team mates . He is obviously close to Max , and speaks so well about Tracc. He will be determined to be as fit as can be for round one . He is a champion— keep him

Thanks for posting this data. It confirms what I’ve always liked about McRae, notably his effective disposals . I agree, much depends on the price , but at the right price I think he could be very useful

Four days in the Federal Court plus all the preparatory work— between 500- 700k IMV . Experienced silks on both sides. and yes, it was entirely avoidable had the Club adopted , from the beginning, the changes it ultimately agreed to .

I think that u overlook the crop of new payers we introduced this year. My rating is Windsor 200 games plus Tholstrup 200 plus AMW and Howes 100 plus I also think that Laurie will become a good player if he can get time as a mid, rather than a HFF and I think u might be underestimating the likes of JVR , McVee ( a star already) and Turner all of whom I expect to play 20 games next year . And I think the caution shown towards Jefferson may well pay off . we DO need a second ruckman. I just don’t understand the Fullarton position
