Good idea but I think it might still be an amateur competition. No $$ for Trac or us.

It's a pity we can't sell him to an AFL equivalent of the Saudi Pro League for big $$$. At least he couldn't come back to bite us on the field.

I wonder if Dan Houston is having second thoughts about his second thoughts 🤔

Poor Carlton. Imagine having to sit through an entire Fremantle v Port game for any reason.

LOL. You [censored] beauty!!!

He'll be in good company then.

I were Trac I'd be worried about the direction Carlton's heading in.

Just turned on the footy. Good result all up. Carlton either don't play finals or have to go to Brisbane in a knock-out game.

Goody seemed pretty emphatic that he'd be in the red & blue for the next five years, not just in 2025. Sidestepped the question about whether CP5 had stated that to him though. My read from that is that he's definitely asked the question and we've shut it down, perhaps with a view to look at the situation again in 12 months.

Suns had to leave the ground early to catch a flight home for the open top bus parade celebrating their 11 win season.

Should have the wooden spoon they've just won on show with the three cups.

Last night looked a bit like the Bulldogs game where we could've lost by a lot more if the opposition had finished better in front of goal. Our midfield was non-existent (somewhat understandably) and that's been the big issue for much of the year. With Brayshaw, Oliver, Petracca and Viney in the side the other coach ends up playing whack-a-mole but it's a different story with only Vines (being tagged?) in there. It wasn't just that though as Collingwood mostly owned us on the outside and in the air as well. It's difficult to gauge where we are as a side right now with key players missing and Windsor and McVee aside, not really knowing how much upside the rest of the young group has yet. Looking back it seems like we spent the whole season trying to play Harry Petty into form in the senior team for a measly 9 goal return.

I thought the same. Nibbler was in and out of the side until we were able to find the right role for him and it clicked. Same with Nev Jetta. Let's hope for a similar outcome here.

LOL. Just saw this thread pop up and thought we’d just re-signed Bill for ANOTHER 2 years. 😂

Who cares. It’s a popularity contest.

I'm glad it's our home game so I don't have sit anywhere near the puddle drinkers. If only I didn't have to breathe the same air as them for three hours.

Long before BBB we had Big Bad Billy Bennett. I think it was Brad Sparks that started calling him Billy. Once upon a time all we had were the occasional days out like this one to to give us hope that one day our fortunes would maybe change.

Hi Titan. I thought he did on the podcast episode he did with Ben Gibson?

Regardless of what happens going forward surely it’s a given that Trac asked about a trade. TM was emphatic that he had and anyone concerned about their own brand as much as he seems to be would have shot that down in a heartbeat if it wasn’t true. As mentioned by another poster on here he likely asked his manager the question and was told to forget it. Which hasn’t stopped him or someone close to him making it public. Everything since then has looked like a well orchestrated exercise in damage control by he and the club.

Could this be the resurrection of the North Melbourne 'war chest' of yesteryear? When they trawled the competition for A grade talent with big money contracts only to find Jared Polec snarled in their net when they pulled it in.

But.....weather and....buses and....stuff.

You forgot the food stall they offered him at Grazeland.

We're a high performance sporting organisation, not the Waltons.

Diamond geezer.
