Pert and Roffey - The Review Thread
Looks like good forward planning by someone with the best interests of the club at heart. Fairly disappointing the attitude some supporters (not aimed at WW by the way) take towards a premiership club president, mostly because of a single poor interview.

Farewell Alex Neal-Bullen
This is a classic case of being a good employer. He's been with the club more than 10 years, has clearly given everything and isn't a huge asset (from a financial/picks point of view like Petracca or Pickett). My view is this is likely his all time career best year so importance is overstated. AFL clubs have a bit of a history with this kind of trade and trying to build goodwill for future trades (the anti-Dodoro if you will). Frankly will it matter if we get 35 instead of 28?

Farewell Alex Neal-Bullen
Adelaide's 2nd rounder (circa 28) is about right as a stand alone deal. I'd keep him if he didn't want to go, but anything beyond that for a 29yo who is a decent role player but nothing beyond that is probably delusional

Sunday footy show - Who is the greatest Demon of all time?
Depends on your criteria I guess, but Norm Smith not getting a look in? Champion player and probably the best coach of all time, with a combined 10 flags in both roles (all for Melbourne)

PREGAME: Opening Round vs Sydney
If our culture is so fragile that it requires Oliver having an unofficial and hidden (from the public/supporters) first team suspension to not shatter it, we have some pretty deep issues. I don't have blind faith in the club, but I don't believe that we have problems of that magnitude. If you believe in selection integrity, there is absolutely no rational justification for Oliver not playing given he has been reintegrated into the team and has played two practice matches.

Wildcard Round
Is really finishing 7th or 8th such a massive achievement that it needs to be protected? Can't see that it has an impact on 1-6. Carlton missed the finals last year by about a goal in percentage, we missed it in 2020 by half a game - I'd be happy for it to be brought in, especially going to 19/20 teams in the next few years.

NON-MFC: Rd 13 2023
Voss isn't an AFL standard coach. Carlton should be pushing top 4 and nailed on finals with their list, not bottom 4.
