He might have to in ‘25-26.!!

Yes heartily agree with Supreme_Demon and Deez Man, loved his dad and a solid preseason should put him in the window of opportunity, could surprise a few.

I am assuming it’s all tied to the FD Review, hopefully that will be completed and findings discussed before the end of October. Best to have coaching roles sorted and in place prior to the national draft, we may already have coaches ready to roll out. The leaks have been plugged so who knows. I drove past the other day and didn’t notice any smoke.

A great footballer, so glad that he came to us when he did, will always be remembered as a Premiership Hero of MFC. Hope that he stays with our AFLW team.

Whoever indeed - Are you a close personal friend of Clayton’s Dr. gonzo, perhaps a close confidant or just another anti club voice joining in on the bash the club rhetoric????

To be honest PF you were smelling smoke when we missed the finals, I don’t want to quote you but sure that you were firmly in the camp of - Sack them all, clean the place out burn the place down - Where there is smoke there must be fire 🔥. To this extent you got part of your wish come true but a lot of it has been media blowing smoke up peoples backsides.

Was that before or after Mackie shut down the Farce.!!!

Reported by the press, you lost me right there CF.

Adam is an all round good bloke and very competent footballer, in my mind very stiff to be delisted and leaves our defensive stocks a bit light on.

Picket and Dazzle please paint me a picture whereby the CEO of an AFL club would - off their own bat do a ring around to other AFL clubs and offer up their top player. It just beggars belief. I. E - Perty wakes up one day and says to himself, hmmn a bit bored today I wonder what we could get for young Oliver, the FD, President and Board wouldn’t have any problems with me doing this…????

That is very amusing Dave1711, very droll indeed.

Every one can put their own spin on any issue Dazzle, as I have said ad- nausea’s I don’t readily believe anything I hear and only half of what I see. I bet if Goody rang Steve he would get a different story and I bet Steve’s sister would have a different version of the truth. Fact is - Geelong had no currency to bring in Smith & Oliver at the same time, so they were just muddying up the water, or putting the boots in, there is little love lost between the two teams. I expect that Clayton Oliver and Christian Petracca will return to the fold healthy and energised and that both players will contribute significantly to our rise up the ladder.

Thanks red and blue forever it is getting a bit tricky with Smith in Never Land and Marty Hore in Limbo.

Yes FFD Cat B at present.

Don’t forget Andy Moniz-Wakefield.😁

Yes they have to enhance Tracc’s injury no mention of the wonder boy that caused it. Ha ha.!!

Definitely KC we should have afforded the Petracca family more love initially and shut down the Kozzie rumours quicker. As for Clayton, sounds like a bit of a managers bush picnic, I’d expect the club to sort that out. And perhaps channeled the conversations via a trusted media person, if one exists.

Sorry KozzyCan, in my opinion it was a media pile-on that blew everything out of proportion that pushed the player towards the blues or filth.

Unfortunately Damien Barrett is the worst kind of media personality his behaviour is quite cowardly and vengeful. Time to go hard MFC, we cannot let this spiteful character get away with this attempt at face saving B S.

Yes we watched that with great interest last night sounds like Ch9 have a Very Toxic group leading their Culture, it will be interesting to see how this plays out. AFL haven’t covered themselves in glory either standing idly by watching the media personalities piling on to Dees and ignoring much worse cultural issues at other clubs. Grrrrrrrr…!!

Unless the MFC roll out the Eddie McGuire model that worked so well for the Pies, come out firing against anything that is untrue or unsubstantiated stay a bit angry and a bit Cranky Franky a bit edgy and predictable, Club first rhetoric. Show no mercy to the Media lightweights and give them a pat on the back when they say something positive. Go after specific dung throwers and put them off their game, the supporters will enjoy it and the AFL will take notice that we are no longer the Lambs to the Slaughter.

Thanks Adam Tomlinson there but for a cruel injury you could have been a Premiership hero. Good luck and wish you all the best in any future ventures.

Great post DemonWA.👏👏👏

I don’t care what the media personalities think, definitely a B+ first off - We held our three guns despite media wanting them out to embarrass the club and teach us a lesson??? We got lucky with pick 5, and then Tim Lamb showed us what he is best at and traded in Pick 9. He then bought in the fastest gun from the North, Harry should play R1. He bought in Campbell early to provide ruck relief for Max, Tom won Sandringham’s B&F, so will elevate Casey immediately. He also moved a number of players out of the club to open up spaces for 4-6 players to help the continued rejuvenation of the club. He was handicapped last year as most players were contracted. Personally I feel much happier about 2025 than I did three weeks ago. If that makes me a “Happy Clapper” count me in.
