58er

You know he is better than Oscar.

Rubbish you either have a small memory about his play or you are a poor judge of player’s ability. Probably both.

You are dreaming SS You must know Peatling is not favouring us and Houston was last month. You are worse than the gremlins on Trade radio.

Why not ? It’s just logical and correct. The value is what is going to be decided depending upon the quality of player available.?

Well he has got an opportunity to return to form and see if he can play any better in 2025. He may surprise but we need goals from our half forwards.

No proof of that yet. It’s Perty that is being alleged guilty of that crime.

Your dreaming we don’t need half backs we need half forwards and forward talls plus mids all of whom can be elite at disposal.

You don’t know that nor do I! So settle down and wait for the reviews.

You have lost the plot of course any Membership / premiership credits are going to go to the CEO as to many other officers and the Board as well. Please don’t be churlish. As I said wait until the reviews.

You are obviously not going to give Perty any leeway. For about 3/4?years we have pretty met our Plan. Ie TICK except for the base and that is totally understandable IMO. And now after a bad year you are on his case and are gung ho that he is a failure. Even though the base has been updated. What do you want him to fall on his sword and resign and admit total failure even though the other parts/ personnel/ sections of the Club have failed and not him personally. At this stage we don’t want to throw the baby out with the bath water until the reviews have been completed. Surely you can see there is nothing to be gained yet as a knee jerk reaction. Cool the jets and let’s get the reviews completed during October as advised.

Surely there is some way you can estimate your no of games for next season by a full membership or is there a 5 game one that is flexible.? You should know unless it’s too complicated after our fixture is released. Are you not able/ keen on night games? Good luck but just get a season ticket is the easiest and it is a donation if any less than 5/6 can’t be attended. Good luck !!

No Daniel is more versatile and is courageous and very competitive plus would kick goals if played up forward. Can play wing and half back/pocket also. Would be in our best 23 if Bowey does not go to another level like at the start of his career.

At least he can kick goals and they win Matches plus I have noticed that over 66 years of watching footy and the Dees.

No I don’t think so we are in need of another half forward who can kick 30 goals plus per season. Plus Spargo should return this year and I suppose we can always hope with McAdam.

There is not much in ability between Bedford and Chandler but Bedford is a more standard type half forward and has wider skills and can tag. Chandler is stronger and tackles and competes harder but is not as skilful as Toby. Spargo is better than either but Kossie is easily the best but if more time is put in with him he could go to another level I believe.

Well at least give him a try in the AFL first before we cast him aside.

Rebuilding on a 33yo who may play a game or two but will coach our Verrall and ? Instead. No thanks hi for the Boyd ruck star from Norwood who can play up forward also. Go back to a Jacko/ Gawn style arrangement and both are happy.

Well it makes sense as it is not a good look and virtually bordering on conflict of interest given the circumstances.

While your listed observations have some limited amount of merit I don’t believe we are about to move Clarry on and make 2/3 $ mill loss on his contract. That would be tiling the members. Oh and if GFC are interested in Clarry they know their $$ or attitude to obtaining him and are talking to him to see what salary he might be willing to accept especially as they will have to juggle him and Bailey Smith possibly in the trade period coming up. It doesn’t mean we are going to fire sale Clarry out as you suggest because it looks too tough to keep him or negotiate a fair deal with the Cats who are notoriously light payers to even elite recruits.

How do you conclude that ?? What indications are there for that assumption?

While you are correct in identifying our help so far let’s not start a bake on Clarry like some did with Trac. Both are with Max JV Maysie and Lever our greatest players generational in fact that have and will be recognised as the champs of this era ( however it remains or not) who bought to us many hours of enjoyment and great footy. They put the fear of losing into the opposition and still will hopefully head our 2025 challenge for a season that no one yet can really predict what may happen. If we were to lose Clarry then play hardball and extract some players ie SDK plus a runner/ half forward goal kicker to help our list or 2 top draft picks as adequate compensation they did for Jeremy Cameron.

It means we need some points doesn’t it? Last year under this system courtesy of the Carlton Camporale Bros.

Each Club is having a go reminding of an opinion already expressed and refuted. Just in time for trading coming up!! Boring and tiresome.

No we go after the player who wants to come to us and is best suited to our needs. That's Derksen.
