And the acquisition of the two best footballers in the entire league in their prime through Free Agency

Yeah. Seems like we're back in that 07-11 era. Even has a captaincy retirement similarity with Selwood and Tom Harley

Yikes. A Geel v Carlton GF it is EditL Prelim*

Maybe Hinkley and Fagan as assistants?

But did he initiate it, or did he pretend to not see him before that? #AskingTheHardQuestions #SocialAnxiety

Tim Membrey has kicked as many goals/game as Bailey Fritsch. I'm suprised nobody wants him. One of the best pair of hands in the league, great contested mark and forward craft. JVR and MJ could do well to learn from him. With Tomlinson gone, one injury to our KPD stocks and Petty gets thrown back. Then we need a decent marking forward again. Or 9 goal/year Petty might just end up in the VFL for a year before TMAC retires, if Membrey is playing better as a key forward. Also he's apparently a pretty good clubman with good professional standards. Still has a few years left to give. We chased a 34 year old Tom Hawkins, why not a 30 year old TM for 3 years. It's fraught with danger of course, but sometimes these risks pay off.

Richmond supporter Jon Ralph wrote that article on the value of those trades. GCS would be nuts to give pick 6, let alone 6 AND 20 for Rioli and Freo would be nuts to give two firsts for Bolton. Baker is worth a pick in the teens and even many Eagles fans don't want him at a higher cost than that and would prefer to keep rebuilding from the draft! I don't think the Tigers are going to have more than 3 picks in the first round, and their supporters will be desperate to get a draft haul this year imo.

We need to deploy another Chook over to Victoria Park to suss out the deets

I could definitely see DJ Spargs and Disco Turner throwing a weeky Rave at Revolver

Interesting to see 20-30 upvotes on any comment wanting Goodwin sacked over on the melbournefc reddit page. Maybe it's the impatience of a younger demographic, wanting the sugar hit of a new coach thinking its the missing piece. Maybe Having not lived through the pain of the 70s and 80's or even the 2010's... they've got no understanding of how quickly it can be gone for good, or at least until a new generation rises decade/s later. Goody has earnt another year at least to right the ship, some of his assistants perhaps not. But that's not really new news.

I'm calling you Wobbie's World

Is that a tattoo of Chewbacca?

Maybe all of our problems would be solved, if the MFC started an official cooking channel?

He's a Facsmillie of Paddy Cripps?

It's nice to have a Sunday off from the topic.

@Swooper Northey Statue outside the new HQ

I know the value of two players would supersede Harley Reid, but would we do it? Pickett and Carlton's Pick #11 & 30, Future 1st* to the Eagles Petracca to the Blues Harley Reid to the Dees ?? Edit: We were going to give a massive trove of picks to the Eagles for Pick 1, All of the picks we'd get for Tracc and Pickett would be about the equivalent of that trove. Edit 2: Eagles would probably want a little more. Maybe the Blues have a WA player to send over? Edit 3: Going out for a bit. I look forward to some Harley Reid trade ideas in response!! Go Dees!

Nickname Minty?

The AFL Trade period should just be a lucky dip at a School fete. 18 jars with a bunch of names

They could make this saga into a tv series like Utopia or Succession, because that's how it feels. You've got the Newspaper/Media room, the MFC room and the Petracca PR room with various characters devising various pr strategies, leaking stories, reacting to headlines/news, getting on the phone and shouting, secret meetings in wine bars, with journo's, posing for instagram stories, all with the intention of shifting narratives etc.

The media get absolutely triggered like a pack of rabid dogs when somebody has a go at them.

How about all these Eagles fans that suddenly became overnight experts on Xerri's year. They really should be happy that they have the 2nd best ruckman of the modern era.

Better than "winning trade period" like Essendon seem to always do, but don't in the long run!

Calm before the storm? All is well? This thread is now moving a little slower. Can actually take a breath!
