Lefty

Is this the end of our trade period? With the acquisitions of Tomlinson & Langdon and the departure of Sam Frost I haven't heard our name being bandied about amongst any of the other tradable targets. (with the exception of Sam Murray as a delisted free agent). So are we done now?

I still can't work out whether his 2019 form was due to injury or just an aberration or was 2018 the aberration?

No not their looks. Is it the $$$? Finals prospects? That amazing fun culture? Why are players throwing themselves at the Saints?

This is probably the reason he’ll choose Brisbane over us. Which forward line would you like to play in?

I think this was the kicker. They called his bluff.

A Collingwood mate of mine is positive it will be announced at the Copeland tonight. He’s usually got good mail but has been wrong. Take with a grain of salt.

This is not the worst scenario. We COULD be dodging a huge bullet with this one. Don't get me wrong Eliott COULD be a massive asset to us if he plays every game and can maintain the 30 plus goal a year but he has never played a full season in his career and has missed 2 WHOLE years through injuries. We already have a cavalcade of perennially injured players. No need to pay overs for another.

I was pleased that the club gave him another contract and I thought the terms were fair given he is in the twilight of his career and he will likely play mostly at Casey next year. Obviously giving up the captaincy was the right move. As mentioned it would be the cherry on top if he can reach 300 but 14 games in 2020 might be a stretch.

I'd be having a chat with his management. Are Adelaide going to be able to field a team next year?

If fit then a big yes from me. Unfortunately he struggles to get on the park at times. His hammy is as dodgy as a Gatorade urine sample.

He can't be very bright if he thought a cup of Gatorade would fool the testers. Did he think they'd just think he had a high electrolyte count in his [censored]?

I didn't hear it mentioned. https://www.sen.com.au/programs/time-on/

Congrats Max you are an A-grade champion.

When did Sam McClure talk about this? Stuie posted about this in his Facebook Group but no link was provided.

St. Kilda supporting mate just said he's a brilliant development coach that wouldn't know a game plan if it bit him in the [censored].

So I guess OMac and Petty are still injured. I'm surprised we can field a team. I hope we're not playing anyone with a hint of an injury that could be exacerbated by playing. Not that we'd EVER do something like that in a meaningless game. Can we forfeit this one or enact a mercy rule?

This feels like a lifetime ago. I was 9 or 10 so I guess it's technically Jesus times average lifespan ago.

Thank you for your service Jordy.

If the club was smart they would caution the players against such imagery lest it anger the support base.

There has to be more to the story of this vision from after the Crows game in Adelaide which we held on to win. To me it looks like perhaps Jennings and Goody had a disagreement on a strategy. Goodwin ignored Jennings idea. We ended up winning despite that and Goody let Jennings know about it with a "told ya so I know what I'm doing" slap.

... making him tag Grundy and not play his usual game? I think the AA committee will give Grundy the No.1 ruck position because Collingwood have had the better year and Grundy's disposal stats have been superior to Max. Max is probably the better tap ruckman with hitouts to advantage and better at marking around the ground but Grundy has been racking up disposals and kicking goals. I don't think many (outside of Dees supporters) would complain about Grundy getting No. 1 ruck in AA. I think not allowing Max to play his normal game and give him the chance to towel up Grundy for the second time this year has cost him a spot in the All Australian team full stop. It's like conceding that Grundy is the better player. Thoughts.

Given Collingwood's extensive injury list we could be a chance to pinch a win. If they pants us then we are really in trouble.

Who plays on that kid Hogan?

I loved hearing from Strawbs. It was great to hear that he's still a Demon. Thanks for the interview guys.

Absolutely agree. If we just won every game by 20 goals and got every free kick I'd have a very pleasant day and no one would cop any abuse.
