I reckon Maxy could make a decent president down the track.

Whately is such a snivelling moraliser. That editorial placed the blame for this situation squarely at the feet of the club. downplayed the branding and bigger club dimensions. actually, implied these were leaked by the club to make trac look bad. I think his grand narrative is this all arose because the club and AFL wanted to avoid any potential repercussions from how trac was handled from a medical perspective on KB. The club have issues of which the board are at fault but painting Trac as the 100% victim here is insane. Is it because he wants to keep him sweet so he continues to rock up to 360?

There's also the come home factor. Step forward Harley Reid. And would be great to see Mac Andrew in the red and blue seeing as the AFL dudded us there.

I wouldn't be the biggest Schwarz fan but i thought he spoke quite well here.

you forgot to mention the article included a recipe for black bean noodles

Well done Daisy.

He has 3 years left and isn't pushing for the move. Unlikely to leave this year but i doubt he'll sign another contract with us. I hope i'm wrong and would love if he was a one club player with us.

he's been talking to Freo. chook in Perth confirmed it.

He wants to go to WA. Freo his preference but they will trade in Bolton this year so it looks like it will have to be Eagles for him.

Eagles with all the run. Tiges off the pace. Daisy looking good here for first coaching win

looks like the hometown umpiring applies to the Eagles ALFW team as well as the mens. Tiges getting reemed by the umps here.

Apparently, Kate Roffey to give an interview to SEN about pick 5 seeking a trade next week

Eagles haven't been much chop since coming into the comp. Best of luck Daisy. I think you'll need it.

my preference is for kossie to be settled and happy and finish his career with us. it doesn;t look like that will happen though so maximising the value we get in a trade has to be the priority perhaps try to keep him for 2 years and then involve Reid?

big 3rd quarter from sydney. much better ball movement, taking i50 marks and converting

In the context family support to help with a bub we're talking about mothers, aunts and sisters. Male relatives are useless

Both teams pretty rusty. Plenty of endeavour but quality lacking so far.

It's a recurring theme with Kossie so only a matter of time before he leaves. With Bolton joining, I think Freo won't need him. I reckon we should try to deal with Eagles next year. Bring Reid back to Victoria as part of the deal.

that does sound good if we can turn Trac into a top 10 pick and another in the mid to late teens i reckon that's as good as we can realistically hope for. no idea how that happens or if even possible.

This genius reckons hawthorn can get it done with pick 30, Mitch Lewis and a Future first. Laughable

I don’t start threads too often but I reckon it’s time I got into it properly. I think a “trade max Gawn” thread is the go. Or perhaps a “bring back neeld” thread?

Balls to cryptic crosswords. who are you talking about?

Maxy needs to give Kate roffey some media training. there's no BS with Max. Honest and authentic. 100% believable. I feel reassured after this (as compared to how i felt after Kate's interview yesterday). No way the playing group have an issue with trac as long as Maxy is captain. I'm sure Trac will be able to re-integrate.

in your experience, does it normally take 10 years?
