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!

Our fitness and conditioning has been in the toilet since Burgess left. There was a lot of talk at the time about how his replacement had apprenticed under Burgess and would be following the same program, but subsequent evidence (pattern of last qtr fadeouts in 2023, being miles off in 2024), and management of several players' injuries, puts a significant question marks on what we're doing.

[censored] hell you gave me a heart attack. :-(

It better not be, because with the turmoil we're going through and the bottom-4 trajectory we're on, it's inconceivable that Trac doesn't seek a trade next year. His preferred suitors have ample time to make list and cap arrangements in the meantime.

MFC I have your Membership line on speed dial, and I'm not afraid to use it. Let Oliver go on top of the Tracca nonsense and look forward to crowd sizes in the teens next year.

Significant contrast to Callum Mills's endothermic carry-on around his hammy in the last few days. Capping off a 12-month leadership master-class.

They've come a long way and done well to overcome the pre-season scandal that now feels like a lifetime ago.

Sydney cheer squad headed home early?

Could the St Kilda sprinter break any more times at the start there?

Good.
