Real dazzledavey in a game day thread vibes....

Get the impression this is Rockliff trying to build his media presence in a similar way to how Kane Cornes did early on in his career.

"The sleeping one that there’s enough noise around is Kozzie Pickett," Rocky said. "I still think… he’s a possibility to be in Port Adelaide colours next year."

From July this year... Ben Brown has been targeted inside 50m one-on-one 45 times this season. He has taken one mark from those battles — a junk-time grab on Marcus Adams (Lions) late in the fourth quarter. He has been out-marked eight times. Early Tackle: Sam Landsberger’s Likes and Dislikes from round 17 This 'halving contest' stuff around Brown is rubbish. He was terrible this year. "That number matters as much if not more than goals." Seriously. You don't truly believe that right?

So it was a coincidence that we also started training there more often after millions was spent upgrading it? Also, it's the base of our VFL, VFLW and AFLW teams, but if you think they're not part of the club then perhaps take that up with Roffey...

Ummmm because it was our facilities at Casey? I mean, we've been training there, what around 80% of the time since 2020?

Yep, wasn't great in 2020, but was very good in 2021 (lead the league in hitouts). But your argument was he had barely played for 2 years and you seemed to suggest he was injury prone. Bloke has averaged nearly 18 games a year through his career, which is massive considering he only played 7 in his first year and 6 this year. The injury argument is just not correct. For comparison, Gawn has averaged 15 games per year over his career.

Played 20 games in 2021 mate.

No, never said anything about Yze being a done deal at Essendon. You're that quick to trip over yourself trying to have a crack at me though. Might be time to move on from that champ, grow up a little bit maybe, or even just stick to the jokes. Cheers.

For sure, and I'm 100% on the home base bandwagon, just think we need to realize that the lack of massive funds compared to other places is likely because we haven't put forward a feasible plan. The Yarra Park thing was a mess. I reckon we'll end up out at Casey anyway tbh.

$9.5m as listed above.

I've told you who the source was for this mate. Doesn't come much better than that. Nice troll bump though.

Thorough process obviously...

I'm with you on the wait for a 'proper' home base, but your assertion was other clubs had been given millions from governments and we hadn't. There's literally 9.5 million right there. (You'll also note the article is from August 2019)

Incorrect. Gosch's: The Government will kick in $2 million towards the redevelopment of Gosch’s Paddock oval, with the AFL and Melbourne combining to contribute $1 million. Demons and community to win from Gosch’s Paddock upgrade Casey: The upgrades are being jointly funded by the state government ($5 million), the City of Casey ($2.5 million) and the AFL ($500,000). Melbourne set to benefit from $8 million upgrade of Casey Fields in major AFLW investment

Nah. Plus, pick 32 is ours not Freos. The Power is open to shuffling back several spots in the first round of the draft, which could see the club swap its pick 8 for Fremantle’s pick 14. Port Adelaide would receive at least one second-round pick from Fremantle as extra incentive to move six spots backwards in the first round. How Port can make or break the Jackson deal The Herald Sun reported on Tuesday night Port Adelaide, which holds Pick 8, is open to dropping down the draft order, meaning the Dockers could orchestrate a pick swap with the Power that would land the former an appropriate selection they could then send to Melbourne — along with a future first — for Jackson. Although the report stated the Power would only be prepared to shuffle back six spots and do a deal with Fremantle — which would see the Dockers also part with at least one second-round pick — if it felt the trade benefited them. How rival club can help Freo unlock Luke Jackson trade as likely compo for losing outgoing duo revealed

I rate Sam Edmund, but he just seems a bit all over the place with this one to me. He says: “That is the ultimate catch-all clause." Then says: “I think Collingwood will – if they haven’t already – give some ground up when it comes to some specific behavioural clauses to this Jordan De Goey contract.” Is it a "catch-all" or is it very "specific"?

Guessing here - but what I gathered from the full context of the article was that it was perhaps more of an 'admin' email with his name on it and his actual Hawthorn email was a different address that was private. The admin one was then monitored more by specific club admin staff rather than Newbold.

From the same article... If Weideman was to request a trade next month, it is unlikely Melbourne would receive much in return in the form of a late draft pick based on his form this season.
