Roost it far

Or pay him $5.8million to supply $3million of output and potentially stop us getting some more young A grade talent. I get that it looks kind of ridiculous but as has been said Collingwood have been paying Treloar and Grundy over $500,000. In what world do we line up with Petracca, Oliver and Viney and improve our win/loss? The changes need to continue and it’s pretty apparent he’s still keen to leave.

We need high picks and quality players who want to be here, who are prepared to play what is a brutally tough and contested game. I just don't see a world where that's Tracc. I also don't see a club handing over high picks and or quality players and paying all of his contract. I'm also of the mind that he's just not the guy we really hoped he'd turn out to be, he should be our Dangerfield, maybe he'll be someone else's? Just say Taylor turns pick 6 into another Langford or Lindsay, we get Flanders and we're losing some cash on the side, which in effect we're saving having Pick 6 rather than Petracca anyway.

And yes I'm going to Boo him.......I always boo with a smile as it's quite ridiculous to boo a Champion but here we are!

Lets just say GC offer up pick 6 and Sam Flanders. I've little doubt we'd be on the hook for upto $400K of his salary. I wouldn't expect Tracc would be taking a paycut. I'm actually ok with that as he clearly would prefer to move on or he and his manger could do would Clayton and his just did. To me he's a petulant man child who at his best can destroy a game of football but his bravery his been dented (totally understandably so) but his petulance remains. I'm now fully in the trade him out camp.

To cover for Richo until his contract expires. 👊

Flanders and a first round pick for Trac.

Oh Lord!

Stop Already 😂

They won’t be trading Riley but I’d swap Trac for him everyday of the week. Adelaide don’t appear to have either the pick(s) or the kicks to satisfy a deal. Let’s see what others come up with.

The logic is if he doesn’t want to play for us then find a trade IF we can. I’m leaving it to King, he’ll speak to him and what follows will be the answer.

Just wish he hadn't worn a suit. :)

you stopped at a comma, I'll add the rest .........at least that's my (our) hope.

I haven't seen AMW enough at AFL level to know for sure and he may well end up forward. You're second point is possibly due more to gameplan than his attributes. I think at his best in a well drilled team he's finding teammates forward of centre. You've also got to remember that our defence as a whole has been way down on its best the last 2 years. That alone will impact Judd without the issues i've mentioned in a previous post. Let's hope King can unlock the puzzle. Goodwin was no slouch as a coach though so it remains to be seen.

I think that underates him considering as a team we lack good ball users. Remember his preseason was largely ruined with a serious hamstring injury and he was playing as a lock down defender which isn't his best position, that's where I hope AMW fits into the team. As a running HB and distributor I think we have a really good player and I'm hoping he stays.

We're not off loading Oliver.

Are we seriously a chance though?

Surely the family moves south

You never struck me as a rusted on Buckley man

I’d say as applicants are crossed off the list their managers release the “he blew them away” statements” so as to keep their images on the up. In my mind Buckley isn’t and never was the choice. King comes with an impeccable CV. How anyone can be disappointed is beyond me.

I’m more talking about the unsettling of the Cats campaign than any “rules”. Sadly we need the Cats to beat Collingwood in the likely GF. God that’s a dire situation we all find ourselves in. At least we have Essendon.

Surely we can only announce Buckley, Lade or Giansiracusa whilst the Cats are still involved?

I just want the selection committee to choose the best head coach and just the head coach without fear or favour. That’s not an easy task considering Buckley is the apparent front runner and there’s every chance we’re going to be cautious. I always feel better when I say the same thing in 12 different ways 😎

When’s Rivers contracted till?

None of us really have any idea about who would make the best coach. It’s just that I and a few others know it isn’t Buckley. 😂
