Jackson gone, Rosman and Baker gone IMO, Bedford and Hunt both still uncontracted as well. Then Daw and Mitch Brown probably gone as rookies too. There's possibly 5 senior spots and 2 rookie spots already and we haven't even got around to the possibility of contracted players who could be traded.

I guess this means the 'kick it to the pocket' game plan is sticking around then...

Here's an idea, maybe he's waiting til he's actually traded before making a statement about being traded? Just a thought. Continue ranting about his family though with no factual basis...

Depends on if you believe people on Demonland I guess...

Far out, only on Demonland would a premiership players Mum get slammed for leaving a gracious message about the club when they depart.

Sure, none of them get it 100% right, but I think abusing them on the internet doesn't ended up reflecting on them as much as it does the person doing it. There's often over the top vitriol towards the media on here, yet who are the first people posters go to for their information?

Sam Edmund is one of the most reliable ones in my opinion. Gee the media bashing on here is silly sometimes and this kind of name calling doesn't help your case.

Sam Edmund on SEN: Kozzy loves the Dees, but doesn't love Melbourne the city as much. Port coming hard for him. Kozzy not in a rush with extending his contract despite the Dees already putting offers to him.

We both now there's 0 chance that happens.

Sure a player can nominate a club, but again the player does not in any way determine the deal, that's done by the clubs themselves.

The player has 0 say in what trade deal is done between clubs.

You can be disappointed we're losing a talented player without having personal cracks at someone you've never met and know nothing about. These comments are just so poor.

Casey upgrade, Gosch's upgrade, Santa Teresa progress...

Nah.

I think he might surprise a few next year.

Cool story fossil.

We've ditched plastic cards in no small part due to sustainability but you want to give out thousands of plastic novelties each game?

You literally titled the thread "It's the culture". But ok.

Seriously? Read the first post in this thread again, you know the one that blames our "culture" for a failed year.

Right, so our "culture" totally dissipated in one offseason? Sorry, it's a cop out argument. Same type of argument as when angry supporters blame lack of effort, which generally comes from the "kick it long" types.

No, I don't like this explanation because it's a cop out to blame one factor, and "culture" is so often that one factor supporters go to.

When you can't be bothered going over the full context and grey areas of our year, different impacts of different factors, just roll out the classic "culture"...
