Here they come.

Fremantle drubbing. There was something off about the players that day. Almost like a statement was made.

Yeah to be honest I'm not a fan of him playing down back. The vision i've seen him play he's looked okay and does tend to get lost. I want to see him more as that forward ruck role that I saw back when he was playing in the under 15's championships up here in Lavington few years back. His athletic ability and movement in the ruck and especially up forward reminded me a lot of Sam Darcy. Just my opinion, but I really do think he's wasted down back.

100%

New bub, all his extended family support are back in WA and SA and his partner is from Larrakia country which is up Darwin. You only have to watch the Kozzie documentary to realise how incredibly close he is with his family. As I said a few pages back. When you become a new parent your whole perspective in life changes and the support you need when you become a new parent is immense.

Yeeeep... wasn't great.

From a different article.. North Melbourne has made a strong play for Viney, whose father, Todd, works at the Kangaroos as a highly-respected football manager. The Kangaroos are believed to be preparing a lucrative offer and major leadership and onball roles in a bid to land Viney. The Demons remain confident of signing Viney to a contract extension and on Tuesday shut down any prospect of trading Petracca.

Type of scenario that scares about Kozzie Pickett as well.

Looks like Nibbler it is.. 😔

Hi mate. Full game day vision with Kalani White playing CHB.

This is so spot on. When it comes to family and especially parenting, it's a [censored] hard gig. We had to move away from Melbourne two months before Covid hit back up to the bush where all our folks are to start a family as there was no way we would have survived down there without any family support.

Devastated. One of my favourites. I hope the footy club do the honourable thing and release him. A real club legend and will always go down a premiership hero. He's just had a new bub and any new parent would understand how difficult parenting can be when you've got no family support which in this case Nibbler and his wife wouldn't down here in Melbourne. Your whole life perspective change the moment you become a father. Moving forward I think this now open up opportunity for the like of Laurie and say a Kynan Brown to really step up next year and take his spot that will be vacant. He's best 22 so I think an early 2nd round pick would be a suitable trade.

I'd like to see the club reward Kynan Brown with a full game for the next two games.

Previous to us he had: 3 years at Richmond 2 years at GWS 9 years at Port Adelaide as head coach.

Ia he no different to Sparrow..?

It's literally like 2 players who live out there lol Gawn and Lever. Then you have someone like Ben Brown who's all the way out at Moonee Ponds, Ed Langdon in Fitzroy. That's a hike for these guys especially. Majority of the playing list are based around bayside and East Melbourne area.

OOC at the end of this year.

Ohh yes I did forget that..

Whilst I know you're willing to give up a future first, I'd raise this proposal first. My guy Finn Callaghan is out of contract next year and he looks every bit of a superstar in the making. He's childhood and best friends with Blake Howes and I think if there was a player in the competition I'd throw the war chest at its Callaghan. I'm not a big believer that we should be going out and spending big on a key forward as some continue to report in the media. Collingwood won a flag with Mihocek and Mason Cox of all people. Build around JVR, Jefferson and Turner perhaps.

We're going off topic, but this is why we simply have to keep our 1st pick this year and not waste it on Houston., especially in a year where the draft is jacked with midfield talent. Nabbed Windsor last year who will be a jet and if we can someone like a Sid Draper who is very similar to Butters then there's no doubt we can stay contending over the next couple of years. This is our golden opportunity before Tassie.

I agree with this 100% I know we throw heat his way and certainly I have from my end regarding on field performance, but full respect to him in always fronting up and facing the music. I feel bit awkward watching and get a sense he's uncomfortable at times. This is where sometimes I wish the likes of Pert and Roffey would stand up and take the heat off him.

Butters is a genuine jet. He's up there as one of my favourite players to watch in the competition and especially Saturday night where he turned it on. He's proving that you don't need to be a big bustling midfielder to be one of the very best in the competition. His movement around stoppages and ability to manoeuvre his way around tight situations is ridiculous. This is another reason why you can never question Jason Taylor amongst other things. He was trying desperately hard to trade up to select Butters but unfortunately we couldn't pull it off. He's just got the eye for talent.

Like all club presidents do. There is nothing groundbreaking about this information. She is a leader of the footy club. Come out and be one. Jeff Browne from Collingwood has come out several times this year and defended his footy club over certain issues regarding the recent racial story, defending the Daicos father son discussion, as well as the on field performance. If she's not sitting down and twiddling her thumbs then what exactly is she doing? I think members absolutely have the right to question this. When she was brought into the club in 2021 she was well renowned for her ability to build connections and negotiate deals around sporting facilities. I was excited about this appointment initially. As it stands 3 years on we still have no home base nor are we any closer to any announcement where this is at.
