Pretty sure I read that the massive power forward thought to be Matty Whelan's son was another Matty Whelan. Haha

Really getting tired of clubs (Gold Coast, Hawthorn, St. Kilda, etc.) wooing a player, getting them to nominate, and then not being able to deliver a FAIR deal for both parties. We have stated we wanted a player... if you woo a player, be prepared to give something in return. Don't say "By the way, player X who wants to go home is off the table". It is bullsh*t!

Nah, that was old school Photoshop. Only AI was to remove Max Heath from the original and preserve the background. The rest of it was just good old-fashioned Photoshop.

Maybe Bailey has been playing 4D chess with us all along. Based on the tattoo on his forearm, I'm expecting an announcement at 4pm.

Had to do something to set it apart from the authentic one. Hahaha. Here is an updated one and an action photo if someone wants to shoot him an Instagram message to show him what he could look like in the red and blue.

If the hold up is getting the artwork done for the announcement, I thought I would help them out:

100%... I am a bit over how much they want their cake and eat it too. 1 - THEY knew they had academy kids coming in. If they don't want to risk them, then don't offer Petracca the world and have him nominate you. 2 - THEY want to get a 4x All Australian Norm Smith Medallist, but will only offer us two picks in a heavily compromised draft and then expect us to part with a pick which has a bit of currency to it so they can get their academy kids. 3 - THEY have a player who wants out, but they are holding him to his contract. By trading him out, they'd get the 4x All Australian Norm Smith Medallist they've promised the world to, and they'd also preserve points for a academy kids... but no, he is off the table. They're a joke! If we only get picks AND give up Pick 24 as well, I will be absolutely ropeable!

The thing is the AFL need a few big trades to go through on the last day for their Fox Footy rush to the trade finish line. We are going to need to be patient I reckon... as difficult as that is.

Petracca sucks it up and comes back to us with tail between his legs. King has already insinuated that. Unless Gold Coast pay up, he stays. They can give us Walter or some other young gun if they want him bad enough, and it is up to them to convince their player to come to us.

Well, looks like Petracca suits up for us next year. If our list managers accept anything less than Humphrey (minimum) for Petracca, then we are a league laughing stock. I don't care that Gold Coast says he is off the table... unless he comes to us, Petracca is off the table too.

He looks good in red and blue... but, who doesn't. Hahaha.

Well, I guess GC don't want a Norm Smith Medallist on their list.

Stuff St. Kilda... Melbourne give: Petracca, Oliver, Pick 24. Melbourne get: Humphrey, Flanders Gold Coast give: Humphrey, Flanders Gold Coast get: Petracca, Pick 12 GWS give: Pick 12 GWS get: Oliver, Pick 24 Melbourne gets two young gun midfielders and a salary dump. Gold Coast gets their gun mature age finals performer and a pick to satisfy academy selections. GWS get Oliver for a 12 pick downgrade in a [censored] draft. Can't see a loser in that.

Correct me if I am wrong, did Guerra not say in a radio interview that Petracca and Oliver were both listed as best 22 players in Steven King's coaching presentation? The last week would suggest otherwise. So who is talking rubbish? King in his coaching presentation, or Guerra in his radio interview?

100%, and I think that is why there is a difference in how Clarry is viewed versus Trac. One rarely talks in the media and struggles to fully articulate himself the best when he does, but he has he shown nothing but genuine love towards the club and a genuine want to stay. The other has a huge social media presence, is much better at expressing his point, and yet has shown comparatively little love towards the club. It is disappointing. As has been said already, this sort of talk could easily be shut down... but there is nothing but silence. Whoever is advising him needs to open their eyes and ears a bit as to what the supporters want to hear.
