Incredibly disappointing to hear. As other clubs continue to get funding to revamp we can't even plan the [censored] seed for a shoot.

Well yeah..?

Hmm.... Can't say I agree with this at all. Don't really want a pile on here because he's career is officially over, so I'll leave it at that.

Disgraceful really.. Goody's coaching has frustrated me at tines this year but there is absolutely no one else I want coaching this footy club other then Goody.

Where's Goody going in a few years?

Sauce?

So @binman was right after all!? Team performance was down due to the heavy loading of grog undertaken by a few senior players at the club. Makes sense.

He'll be right. He's done it all before with a team that was in similar position to a recent premiership team.

Ha, not afraid to admit I've clocked up some browny points..

Thank you for not banning me.

True.

If we re-sign Smith surely that leaves us with limited spots on our list in the up and coming trade period? Baker, Rosman, Jackson, Hunt, Melksham and Hibberd are now the only players who are out of contract? Didn't I read somewhere that there is some talk Melksham may get a 1 year extension as well?

As reported on AFL.com.. 2 year deal supposedly. To be honest I don't mind this? Especially if he spends a full summer training as a forward where I think we could see some huge growth hopefully next year. He's the perfect prototype player for this game with his speed, versatility and strength. Gives us an option to throw down back if need due to injury etc.

We're repeating our training regime from last year's finals series. Darren Burgess philosophy was to treat the bye weekend off as a game like experience by doing an intense intra club match to ensure the boys are match hardened going into the following weekend. It was no coincidence that we were able to smash Geelong and Western Bulldogs pretty comprehensively by following this intense training structure.

The determination and toughness is certainly there with young Kynan.

A regular draft watcher went and watched the Oakleigh vs Sandy game on the weekend and took some notes on certain players that stood out to him. His comment on Kynan. Brown can find the footy, this has been proven week after week now. Melbourne would be loving what they see. His kicking needs a bit of work, and I suspect yesterday his confidence dropped as he started to distribute by hand more. He's quite quick as well. To be a starting mid in Oakleighs team is good sign for the Dees.

If AFL team and VFL are both in the finals together then yes, anyone can qualify. Had Melbourne not made finals and Casey did then he wouldn't be eligible as he hadn't played enough games.

Yeah I'm torn what to believe. History will say when you've put contract talks until the end of the season then then points to you being gone. Yet, I see how invested and happy here is around the boys still and it gives me a glimmer of hope. Unless he's announced to teammates internally and they've made the decision to accept and still embrace him as a teammate until we're done this year.

Contact West Coast, you know you want too..

Looks like McDonald is a certainty to play VFL this weekend if he gets through Thursday's training.

Sam Edmund on SEN today. Luke Jackson (Melbourne) “West Coast believe they’re still in the hunt for Luke, so we cannot rule out the Eagles. “Fremantle are seen to be the frontrunner there, that might still be the case, but the Eagles maintain they’re still in the race for the WA-born ruckman. “Luke Jackson’s gone, let’s just state that as fact.”

Cox is just another Cale Morton. No thanks. Sorry Cale....

If he wasn't super keen then why did he apply for the job in the first place?? Confused that would be he's thought process considering he was a bees knees from getting the Adelaide job few years back until he was beaten by Matthew Nicks. Jasmine Yze who is his daughter is currently at University and have could easily lived on campus while Noah is now in the back end of high school. Would have thought now would be the perfect opportunity. Disappointed for Ooze that he's missed out on this.
