Yes at least they are all travelling up to Gold Coast together it will be good for the full list to spend some travel and game day time together.

We defied gravity for three years and now the buzzards and vultures are circling, the rumour mills are churning and we aren’t doing ourselves any favours that’s for sure.

But would have missed out on Windsor.

I was leaning toward Nascent and buck_nekkid’s thoughts on splitting our first rounder for two later 1st rounders for Houston and a gun mid from the draft. We need to clear some picks and cap space to make up for our limited draft spaces over the last couple of years. Be a bit daring this year to help refresh the group whilst we have the high end talent to support and educate the youngsters.

Kozzycan you make a lot of unsupported statements that you obviously glean from the press and the disenfranchised on this site. However, you fail to provide any details to support your opinion and in the same instance fail to take on board any of the more wiser and informed posters that have explained in quite significant detail the causes and effects that have lead to our demise in 2024. And Yes I disagree that we should bring in a bunch of outsiders to try and fathom out our shortcomings when we already have a good handle on what the answers are. I say support the club and wait and see what flows from this review and I am prepared to back Pert and Goodwin who have clearly flagged that they are up for the fight.

Ha ha we may never find out but the AFL pack have not attempted to sniff it out.!!

Max has signed on as tackling coach with Melbourne AFLW.

You have to remember Binman that Dangerfield said it was an error of judgement ( don’t be mean to our player).!!

Same here our biggest loss in about 6-7 years and when they repeated the dose at Optus I knew we were on a wing and a prayer.

Thanks WCW and please pass on our thanks to your friend at Casey Fields.✅👍

No 21 or 41 mentioned by WCW’s friend, however they are all travelling up to Gold Coast together.😁

I enjoyed Simon’s presser today he is after all a football person, a realist he knows and understands the “smell” in the air as all intelligent leaders do. He addressed a number of critical matters in an honest, forthright and open manner, even a bit aggressively. He has signalled that he is up for the fight and welcomes change that will benefit and improve our football club. We will need to be braver and open to the changes that may flow through the club over the next six months and stop overreacting to any negative or misleading press releases during the process. As WayneWussell pointed out when the sky was falling in, we need to get a grip and back our club.

Thanks Deelectable I heard the one you heard he was on the front foot and slightly aggressive in his responses to media, etc loved the way he handled the ANB request for transfer and Clayton and Tracc questions. His performance was exceptional.👏👏👏

Poor Clayton (Clarry) Oliver, now that the run to the finals have ended I am so happy that Clarry is being rested for his surgery with plenty of time to prepare for our tilt at the finals in ‘25. I could see that Clayton was really struggling on Saturday night but was unaware of his PCL and ribs. He is one tough young man, I hope that you have a full recovery Clayton and look forward to hearing positive stories about your health and preparation for ‘25 and beyond.💕❤️💙

Thanks DD, we had a better spread of players this week and for some reason we are almost getting the job done with fewer touches. 😁

Don’t fret WCW some get it and some refuse to accept it, Nibbler will be hard to replace so will his mother in the Cheer Squad, she was a real personality in our run to the finals and our Granny in ‘21.

I think that we intercept marked a few in the goal square as well?

Von it is all conjecture at the moment our CEO has said that the club is already into a thorough review of all aspects of the football department so I’m thinking there will be changes in personnel to get the best results for the club.

A lot of my thoughts have already been listed by previous posters but here goes and I am also liking this thread. Despite missing a number of our better players through out the year with injury and niggles we now have that ingrained ability to scrap and close down top 8 sides. I am a bit excited about what we can deliver next year with a big pre season for our budding stars and a couple more quality draft picks and a fully fit senior list. Captain Max - Bravo, Jack Viney pushing through his injuries, Lingers back to his best, Mayzie playing injured, Petty finally getting on top of his foot injury, ANB lifted to try and fill the void, Chin applying huge pressure and Tommy Sparrow on the improve. Then our first echelon of younger players led by Kozzie Pickett, Trent Rivers, Jacob van Rooyen and Judd McVee. We blooded Caleb Windsor (star), Koltyn Tholstrup, Blake Howes, Pup Brown and got extra games into Daniel Turner, Bailey Laurie, Woey, etc. there is a lot to like about these kids. Gutted by the loss of Angus Brayshaw ( heart and sole player), Smith finally delivering, Clayton’s horrid end of year and tortured pre season and to top it off losing our most bona-fide footballer in Christian Petracca mid season. This series of losses and flow on side effects has really cruelled our year. I am also buoyed by the letter put out by Gary Pert our CEO regarding Tracc and the Club going forward.

Tom’s probably on here at the moment having a good laugh at those flakey Dee supporters.!!!

Back to the good old days, eh pf, you do realise what you are pushing pf, Gut the place, lose any synergy that the club has, destroy our financial gains, throw it all in the bin, that’ll get the boys playing good footy and all the supporters and players will leave in their droves……. Wtf.!!

Bravo ww and LH I don’t understand why some people get so spooked by shadows and so far not a single “quote” from our future leader. As ww said get a grip.!!

You will find the Press and the clubs disenfranchised.!!

Thanks waynew, there are a lot of loose cannons on DLand who thrive on any piece of negativity so many want to put their boots into the club. The so called Press have been after us all year, that’s why I stopped buying the news papers and avoid Footy Classified, SEN and a number of other outlets. Hopefully the club will sit down with Christian and resolve Tom’s concerns and I am sure that each player will be given the opportunity to put forward any issues that are causing concern at their exit interviews in two weeks time.

I think that was our handicap. Lol.!!
