Not likely. He'll be cozying up to Houston in the hope of lining up alongside him at the Pies in 2026.

15 games in 6 years, but of course one of those would include torching us.

That's pretty depressing if our developing young key position players in each of the forward, ruck and defence positions are all lacking competitive drive. Hopefully some new assistant coaching voices and changes behind the scenes can give them a boost in this department.

Tarau's aerial work in his highlights was super impressive - pulling in contested marks from positions where by rights he shouldn't have been able to.

I'd love to read Bomberblitz if pick 9 ends up helping us win the flag next year.

"Petracca to Pies gaining some TRACCtion"?

Pretty sure they meant "Perty"

TLDR: give my son a bottle of bleach and free rein to run off half back.

I've just belatedly realised what BP5 stands for after thinking it was a typo. Well played. 🤣

Crows fans would be pretty excited by that presser I reckon. Exudes class, humility and experience throughout.

Starting any post as a media company with "I still think that..." should be grounds for revocation of your broadcast licence.

Squabble? What a load of horse [censored].

Yeah, it's looking pretty horrible, but I would caveat that at the time of making the McAdam trade, we and they would have been expecting our future 2nd round pick to be more like high 30s, and being a future pick it also necessarily has a somewhat lower value. Nibbler has a value that can't be measured in contract dollars or pick position. He is a big loss - I'll miss him in the red & blue terribly.

Particularly the long pause after the question as to whether we were currently an attractive destination club for players seeking a trade. Ouch.

Yes, but if he played for us, he'd have no bunnies left to kick bags against.

Bear in mind Nibbler is 28 (29 in Jan next year) whereas Perryman and Battle are 25 and 26, respectively. The time left in their careers will impact their respective values.

Reminds me of when they reckoned Tomlinson would solve our wing issues. Or Grundy could rotate fwd.

Completely different voting systems. Trac played during the more successful first half of our season, snagging brownlow votes. Our BnF sees coaches awarding players a score out of 10 that are summed. This provides a much broader spread of votes, and also heavily penalises players that miss a lot of games.

...while mis-pronouncing Petracca.

They're getting a gem of a clubman, that's for sure.

His work at the back end of the season was really promising - hoping he has a strong pre-season and grabs a seniors spot next year.

This one's for you @picket fence!
