Superunknown

I’m getting closer to a laugh. *super repeats to himself - it’s just a game it’s just a game it’s just a game*

Team first - should find BB a role with AFLW or other and pay him that way

I’m still sad this is all I have to be excited about (again) at this time of year. Unless the giants do the needful and destroy the pies’ hearts. I just keep refresh-refreshing hoping for tidbits from Nudge, Goodwindees etc

Gee if Whateley thinks we have 2 years left in this window only, I think it behooves us to heed that.

Nor should they That’d make Grundy worth 10 top 10s

Not sure if this is posted elsewhere but https://www.theroar.com.au/2023/09/20/the-unfulfilled-dynasty-of-simon-goodwins-melbourne-demons/?fbclid=IwAR2s_1NfALtYtCYCD0EracfMNdSJOmuem45fbef6JXSItzdcm3wSVGnZ-Q0_aem_AYk7r5nSSu7CYE1uNK6sdoBeAzOHWPSYrCmZT6ih1uOMYg78TncXVA1hxB2Kj8macuI a lot of stuff I’ve been annoyed about since 2018

Probably best if the anti vax / vax / conspiracy nonsense isn’t on here

Paging the Demonland Trade experts ( @Pennant St Dee et al, and the trade insiders @Dannyz @goodwindees) for the run down on this! Is it O’Sullivan, Caddy, McKercher? (This is where Ethan would step in with his wavy hands “who could it be?”)

So long and thanks for all the shoes JJ. Solid citizen.

Nup. Rules are rules. See him off. Maybe win the game. Into a prelim. We don’t blink twice. This is just seeking solace. ducks for cover …..

Yes ok, but we’re using a lot of capital on one person. You could spread the picks (is it 3 in the top 30?) plus trades / free agents for existing players as stop gaps. We’re losing a lot of people .

If we elite kicking and decision making and the right positions - we should be ok. A draftee who is ready to go mid next year would be ace

WCW mentioned it in I tnink the cool light of day or post game thread

Could go either way - you make good points on both sides. I’ve a bad feeling we might see a drop off. Will depend on this trade period and the ruck backup in particular as well as how the current crop develop next 24 months. Another serious knee injury to max and…. It’s not clear to me the club will be able to have a high retention rate of these members. Finishes like this year are a consideration in terms of investment especially given cost of living crisis. It’s why I tnink the club might be prudent addressing this with members. Pretending it didn’t happen doesn’t seem the best approach (but I’m aware some here think the club doesn’t owe its members this kind of explanation)

Why doesn’t the club call it out then?

We would have been stripped of the flag, 100 years of first and second round picks and fined 10 million dollars. It’s the AFL way. (I’m surprised May’s hamstring didn’t require a last minute sub, with 10 mins left, I’m with you)

What Brownie said.

Things are Deesperate if we’re going after The Lord! But gee whizz we need some miracles in the forward line so I am in!

No to the bold.

It’s pretty shocking they weren’t given 7 days

Not on this aspect, no Decision making process and governance for the recruitment same for both finals re selection could have neutralised Cox and freed max up why not v Carlton - absolutely bizarre

I think members deserve, and should demand, an explanation from the custodians of OUR club

Need to return to team first discipline like 2021 Pickett needs the riot act read - in whatever way he best responds to Club should be very direct with league about the draw - not going to kardinia for 20 years. Send Collingwood thanks and the umpiring - we seem to get a lot of really poor decisions in key games like the Carlton arc

Or kicking better , winning 4 more and finishing 1

Giants first then the lions whatever derails Gil’s Collingwood Carlton commercial agenda and causes that peanut McGuire to have an apoplectic fit Twitter will be a delight if they lose - Justice has prevailed Eddie!
