Roost it far

I’d say there’s a range of illness and issues underlying it but read some of the accounts of problem gamblers and their interactions with gambling companies. It’s quite unbelievable what they do to keep you spending money. Countless stories of people losing their homes and then being offered 30,40K and more into their accounts as the companies know they’ll lose that and more.

No it does not. Gambling is causing widespread harm, dig into the suicide rates and gambling shows up at every turn. I’m very happy the club has said no as you should be.

Disagree 100% Take a look at his form last year, he’s had an injury interrupted preseason, second year blues. He’ll be a 200 gamer, worth every cent

We're making solid profits without them. The money will come, it's not the issue. Getting a big Green light to commence work is what we're all waiting for.

We weren’t the only ones to miss him. He’s got some elite kicks drilling it down his throat atm. He’d be lucky to take a mark with Petracca, Oliver, Viney and Rivers kicking it everywhere but out in front.

That’s completely 100% incorrect

Guerra just has to land Caulfield to get a statue, that’s it.

Did he turn us down?

Does anyone know why the board said Guerra can't get stuck into Caulfield negotiations?

On every media and club report at the time we were told he wasn't starting until September. We'll all be at the snow so I've left a note on his desk telling him to sort out Caulfield or we'll be ramming a stock right up his ginger when we return from the snow. Gee it's a nice desk, Schwabby was there trying to claim it but I gave him back his whiteboard and sent him on his way.

Good to hear, I’m not concerned about the money either, wouldn’t surprise if the umpires joined us as well. Really hope we get this up, such a great site.

What chance do give us?

Most of the money the club will raise will come from the wealthiest supporters, probably less than 35 people. They’ll want to see the plan. No one who’s serious is giving money to a club that is financially sound unless we’re ready to go at site. The money will come, the problem is securing the site.

Except the council isn’t interested in us using the site but knock yourself out.

Nowhere does it state the plan is dead. Personally I think the money is the least of the clubs problems.

Of everyone calling for Goodwin to go does anyone know who’s available to replace him? I can’t help but think we’re undermanned in the assistant coaching department. If we were serious our next coach would either already be at the club or earmarked to come for next year. Chaplin must be a possibility as he is highly regarded but there must be a host of others. I don’t want any of Longmire, Simpson or Buckley, as football managers, yes but not as coach. We need the next 8-10 year coach who can reshape the way we go about it. I wouldn’t let Petracca, Oliver and Viney play midfield minutes together. We’re not improving if we keep doing that. Our list isn’t miles off it but some big decisions are coming around the coaches.

That’s 8 weeks ago

C’mon Big Fella!!

With Tassie coming in no one’s giving us top 10 picks for our future firsts. We’re going to need to trade out some existing talent.

The reality is we need to bring it more good ball users. Someone has to be traded to make this happen. Or we start 2026 with the same list?

We’re no chance to get 6 good players in one off season, we’ll need to be aggressive just to get 2 ready to go types. I’m not expecting anything from White for 3-4 years and Sinnema is clearly wait and see. I think we have a good enough list we just need to change some positions and add a couple of good ball users.

The main offenders are Petracca, Oliver and Viney, let’s finish the season with only one of them in the middle at a time.

We don’t need 6 new players! We need White, Sinnema and 2 good disposers of the ball who don’t [censored] the bed in traffic.

How many tall defenders do we actually need? Bowey is playing the best footy of his career and you want to move him? I’d replace May with Petty Howes to HF feels right to me We have to give Jefferson and JVR the rest of the season together. I’d play Howes, Chandler, Viney and Petracca all forward. I’d then run Langford, Lindsay, Windsor, Oliver and Pickett through the middle, Rivers goes back to HB and Salem and May go out of the team. Sestan, Laurie and perhaps Brown get a month to show something. As much as I hate team sheets here’s this weeks. Bowey Petty McVee Rivers Turner Lever Langdon Oliver Windsor Howes JVR Chandler Viney Jefferson Petracca Gawn Langford Pickett Lindsay Sparrow Tholstrup Fritsch Laurie/Culley/Brown/Sestan/Adams/ Melksham Let’s hope White chooses us, Sinnema turns out well and we can trade/draft 2 solid kickers who are game ready. I see little point in playing the butchers through the middle for one more week
