Wonder how he feels about losing (what once was/could possibly be again) top end talent, he's locked himself away for a long time here.

yeh change the hypothetical from entry concessions to the club itself. Jokes aside, will be interesting to see how they utilize that sign on bonus

Hopefully shakes off the 2nd year blues, will be interesting to see where the King plays him

Big ups to all involved behind the scenes on Demonland and also to all the posters, i don't have a lot of Melb supporting pals so enjoy coming here, even if the last little while has been a bit ...

Will also stop me jeering bad bounces, which admittedly isn't entirely their fault.

I think a lot of the bad taste is heavily influenced by our collective under performance. The What could have been vs what was.

RIP The Bounce

Yep we are slowly shifting away from a relatively one dimensional midfield.

Did enjoy the fact the media was telling us to play new players in the midfield to try something new and when we did that they started questioning Trac's long term viability here.

WEST Coast has been handed an end-of-first-round draft pick and four extra rookie list spots for the next three seasons in an assistance package from the AFL. Obviously slots us back one for our 2nd rounder and further dilutes any 2nd round Judd trade

Think this is a key point to any sports player, not all development is linear.

Think a clean slate with King may help. Also hopefully he can get some clear positional direction from the coaching staff.

Just wish he didnt look like Jon Lovitz, i read the letter in his voice.

List of players with contracts (currently) expiring at the end of the 2026 Season, so could be brought in for 2027. Very premature thread but curious which players of ours we should lock in ASAP.

Realistic options?

Either the offer works for us, or Christian works for us.

Actions are speaking louder than words here, if he didn't want to be under the spotlight log onto Zoom.

They had NAS money a few weeks ago, so hopefully. Wonder what they're offering Ah Chee

14 + a good young player?

I'd still like him to stay, but going to Adelaide a better pill to swallow than Collingwood/Carlton/Hawthorn etc.
