Its weird seeing Maddie Gay in Essendon colours

Doggies miles off the pace today. no decent senior players other than Blackburn. Going to be another long season for them by the looks of it.

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

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.

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.

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?

in your experience, does it normally take 10 years?

I agree. Admit the problems, acknowledge the failings and get started on righting the ship. The batten down the hatches approach won’t cut it anymore.

The problem is not that she spoke, it’s that she spoke so badly and was unprepared. I’m in the camp that footy issues are perts domain and better if he spoke, but expecting your president to speak when the club is copping it is not unreasonable

If we can get a top 10 pick and another in the late teens for Trac I’d trust JT to find 2 good players for us. players will come and go. Things never as good or bad as they seem. As long as we have JT we’ll be right.
