  1. Fritsch and ANB for Rachele and a second rounder
  2. I hope we practice tackling in the off season
  3. He’s nowhere near strong enough. He’s so good at HB I just don’t understand the need to play him in the middle at this stage.
  4. The same Waterman who’s played 12 good games in his career?

    I took my partner, my kids and a friend to the MCC members in 22 when we narrowly lost. The rancid, humourless abuse we and others copped including “sit down you stupid c..t” delivered to my partner means I’m unlikely to go. Just can’t be bothered, I love friendly banter at the footy but it’s becoming more and more abusive as the years go by. Sheesh, I sound old!
  6. He had an Achilles opp in mid July. He’s going to be busting a gut to get back to top fitness.
  7. You add those 5, fully fit, another preseason under their belts and a top 10 ready to go draft pick and look out, here we come.
  8. It’s a win win game for mine. I want to see 100% effort and if that gets us over the line great, if not I’ll take the pick. Although I’d like us to be in the middle band for next years draw. All the big box clubs are there and they’re the best games for us the supporters and for the club wanting prime time slots. We’re going to enjoy winning the flag next year.
  9. The whole club should be going
  10. I can’t imagine Adelaide trading out Rachele. Would we take him if the deal could be done? I’d say yes but only after we’ve tried and failed to convince a key forward to join. A King would be great but can’t see how.
  11. Charlie Spargo?
  12. Happy for Jack, likely a year too long but that's the industry currently. I just really hope we don't waste top picks on trades for guys like Houston. We need to keep taking the best available youth or players no older than 25-26.
  13. So he says but I'm still here........
  14. Because Christian Petracca is at the very centre of it all and he's in the top few players in the league. That's why. It creates clicks not just from Melbourne supporters but from the whole comp, who also want to know, so they feed out the one bit of info they have with 100 disguises on it.
  15. This is nuts. I come here so as to ignore the media but they just keep dragging me back in.
  16. Deep down you love her though.
  17. So I'm led to believe Tracc is staying and all is right in the world? If so he really needs to come out and say it.
  18. It gives Verrall time
  19. Interspersed with some sound football knowledge are your posts like this one. Fresh air and exercise is my tip if you’re feeling this way, works for me.
  20. Which is another reason he may actually be on the way out.
  21. We have no idea of how good or not McQualter has been at our club or how he could be in the future. He’s been working with one arm tied behind his back this year. He’s clearly rated highly in the industry and I doubt very much he’s our problem. I’m happy if he stays. I think we need others to change though. New eyes required.
  22. Sticking tackles and breaking tackles as well
  23. Watching Casey play. He’s not strong enough physically for mine nor does he hit contests hard enough for a key forward. He’s improving no doubts but he’s at least a big preseason away from a game. GC have a strong defence and we kick to the top of the square……you do the Math on that. By the way I’m looking forward to your training reports. Keep an eye out for players drinking beers and fighting between themselves and the coaches. 😂

    As has been already suggested I’d trade next years first for another first this year and get JT to pick 2 ready to go skilled, quick draftees. If Trac remains unhappy and really wants to go next year he can go to the highest bidder. That’ll give us 2 good first rounders next year plus our NGA prospect and potentially Kalani White. We’ll then end up with a pretty red hot bunch of youngsters and away we go. If Trac can find peace again (I’m assuming the media reports hold some truth) then we’re still in a strong position. Hold on to your hats Demonlanders this is going to be one hell of a ride 👊💪🏆
  25. So now we want the club to read Demonland before selecting the team….? Watch Jefferson play, he’s miles off AFL
