i want Carlton to miss out

These judgements really should include an executive summary. I'll have to set aside an afternoon to get through all that.

Included in my definitions of nuffies are self-aggrandising types. Make promises they can't keep. Populist politicians. There's plenty of them about and they do get elected. also, do you mind posting a link to the judgment Farmer? I'd like to have a read

it's very difficult to get the balance right between fair and open processes and avoiding having nuffies trying to get on the board.

To those who prefer to lose for better draft position I say, take a look at our history. It's never been a successful strategy for us. whether its pick 6 or pick 10 JT will find a good player. I want to win to finish the season on a high. and i want to win because I hate the pies. I don't understand the mindset of a supporter that isn't fussed if we win or not. Trying to win is not optional. every time we play these bastards we play to win, dead rubber or not. I reckon we'll put in a performance for ANB. Been a great servant. We will have a proper dip in his farewell game. Feeling confident. Dees by 20 points.

Last chance to see the boys run around for the year so i'll be there.

Weak. A real supporter would fly back.

becuase they haven't been blabbing to the media about being unhappy at their club.

i think there are a few chips on shoulders in this thread. the media are no more harsh on us than any other club.

I like Gary. He shouldn't commentate on dees games though. he overcompensates way too much

Trade period on the way. just more grist for the mill for the AFL media so best ignored

There's a been a failure of communication on both sides. Happens all the time in life. I don't think that's the root cause of this problem though. He's a senior player with a lot of influence. He may be very professional in his training standards and no doubt gives 100% on the field, but it doesn't look like he's invested in the club as much as we'd like him to be. Easiest thing in the world to do is spit the dummy when things get rough. Start complaining about others. start complaining about the organisation. That's not leadership. That's just blaming. There are high performing high maintenance people in every organisation. They can be exhausting to deal with. A classic tactic they use is do this or I'm out. Gun to the head approach. It's not a strategy for long term success. Not sure if Trac fits this profile but it sounds like he could. I think Trac needs to decide whether he's part of the problem or part of the solution. Is he onboard or not. He needs to decide. And quick. As it is, he's burning through his goodwill with us fans and with the playing group and his continued silence just alienates him more. He's no future captain that's for sure. If he doesn't want to be part of the solution, then best he moves on. The club will survive. Very difficult to get a trade done that we think is fair compensation but sometimes you have to cut your losses. No player is bigger than our club.

fantastic news been a real roller coaster ride this week

can;t believe cripps got away with that throw

Great to hear that Clarry is focussed on getting back to his best. And it sounds like Trac has a lot of bridges to build.

On what planet does this trade get done. 5 years left on his contract with us. Only cellar dwellers with the currency to satisfy us in any deal. He’s going nowhere. Fences will be mended in the off season and trac will be lining up for us in rd1 2025. Chill the [censored] our DL.

Pert was emphatic on SEN this morning. Viney going nowhere.

Excellent performance after an ordinary week off the field. Great effort. Viney magnificent and led the way. Ball movement and offensive mindset much better. 18 goals was a great return. No need to torch the place in the offseason. Freshen up to the coaching team, bring in some mid depth and tell some senior players to get on the same page and we should have enough to have another decent crack at the flag. Proud of the boys Go Dees

no where near it don;t know why umps soft call is behind in that scenario. miles away from it. they should soft call a goal and overturn if decisive evidence to overturn

was that mcvee's first goal for the club. celebrating like it is

very enjoyable performance particularly after the week we've had

Viney has been magnificent As long as he and Maxy are at the helm we'll be ok. other seniors players could learn a thing or two about leadership from these blokes
