Roost it far

Are we putting Oliver back on the market?……….too soon?

I doubt Petty has anything to do with it. I’m presuming they’re in talks with a key forward from somewhere.

Melbourne have said they won’t trade him, he’s contracted, the salary cap is going up, he puts together a good year next year he’ll get offered plenty to stay.

No 💩 Sherlock

If Essendon pay McKay $800 the Petty should be on $1.6M

I can’t disagree that I’d love to see more space forward of the ball 👍

I mentioned Turner forward for 2 reasons. The first simply because he apparently trained forward and the second, as a backup to allow Petty to play back if needed. I didn’t mention JVR because he’s just tracking beautifully as it is.

That goes against how we play. Everyone is lauding the Pies for their “positive” football but in my reality they were the Steven Bradbury of the finals. I like our defensive mindset, it’s tough and uncompromising. I’m certainly in agreement that we need some outside polish and a key forward but I don’t see us making huge changes to a game plan that stacks up against the best. Now Jimmy Gadson my friend, I know you want to out Collingwood Collingwood next year but I just don’t see that happening. Put a fit Petty in there, get Turner to train forward over the preseason, Joel Smith to have an uninterrupted preseason, Fritsch to remain fit, McAdam to have the kind of preseason that has him cherry ripe. Add to that the hoped improvement of Woewodin, Howes and Laurie, a top 5 draft pick and boy oh boy is 24 going to be one sweet ride.

100% of the time we'd win 7 out of 10 times.

I’d say access to a good psych is paramount for anyone who engages in the world

Hawthorn right in the hunt by the looks

He’s going to need to work very hard to play a senior game. He does have that TDK look going for him so who knows.

Was the reply "Win a Flag at OUR home ground" ?

Who says we’re not a destination club!

After all this we’ll likely lose Jordan, Harmes, Grundy, swap a few draft picks and go to the draft. Feels like we’ve missed Reid and surely McKay’s not going anywhere. Curnow for all his excellence was a complete bust when it really mattered. Carlton won’t ship McKay off unless it’s a godfather deal and we ain’t giving them that……or are we?

To help us win Flags, at least the next 2.

I'd take him for a pick in the late 20's. It's a pity they don't want Grundy. Straight swap oughta cover it.

If he runs out in a Melbourne jumper I will Boo him.

I just want this spud off our list. He gave us very little and he still smells like a Collingwood player. I’ll boo him at my pleasure next year 😂

How’d you know?

That’s Gold right there

I would of happily replaced Oliver with Petty in the finals

The Tiges won 3 flags with a weaker list but they never ever rolled over

If we had real strength we would have beaten Carlton by 6 goals, rolled Brisbane and smacked the Pies. We watched Gawn go down against Brisbane in round 2 and ran to Mummy. Then watched Gus go down and ran crying to Mummy. Then lost our innards and got rolled by Carlton. Teams with deep fortitude and resilience just don’t do that. We’re a bit weak.

Once again we’re at a point where we are being tested as a club. Again I think we lack the internal fortitude to come out stronger. Hopefully I’m wrong but……..
