That's fair. I guess I just don't see a massive issue with Marvel. Easily accessible, protected from the rain, view point and visibility arguably better than the MCG. If one of the issues is cost of food and beverages, welcome to every professional stadium in Australia. If another issue is atmosphere, well that's ironic.

This isn't supposed to be a personal attack however If we expect the players to show up week in week out with effort the least supporters can do is tough it out and attend a slightly inconvenient stadium. This is what makes pies the envy of the comp. I know ppl have lives and families, financial hardship etc (all fair and reasonable), but if the reason to not attend is cause we don't like a stadium... It's a bit soft imo

Sent for more scans 🥹 this is so frustrating!

Shoutout to the supporters at the game yesterday, we went toe to toe with the pies on the noise levels... Made a huge difference imo. Special mention to Tommo and Joel Smith, both played their role superbly. Salem... Seriously missed this guy. A complete match winner. McVee, fast becoming one of my favorite players. Never looks flustered, even in front of 83k roaring fans. Balanced, poised, skillful. So happy with him.

Mids and key forwards next draft. Any word from Casey watchers how Jefferson is tracking?

We've been very fortunate with other top four contenders dropping games in Brisbane, Geelong, and Dogs. Let's go into the Collingwood game with a head of steam... my proposed tweaks against Carlton. With Salem now back, give Bowey some run up the ground, he can hit the scoreboard and is an elite decision maker and kick. We need some class in the middle desperately and he's a competitor. Bring in Tomlinson as the third tall to give Lever a licence to roam. Our flag year this was the best setup... Let's give it another go. Drop TMac for BBB. People are quick to forget BBB was in great form the first couple of rounds of the season, let's give him another go... Unfortunately I think McDonald is cooked.

The club won't have released anything to the journos who are speculating there's damage to the hammy. We wait with baited breath for something official from the club

What is going on 😅

Why the f did he get the green light to go back out there in Q4? Own goal by us if it's significant

It's rare that you see an ACL injury occur in these types of scenarios, they're normally non contact. Got everything crossed for the big fella, we looked so much worse for it without him

Phillipou reminds me a bit of Bontempelli in his draft year.

Shocking outcome. Our haul is the minimum we should have received for Jackson let alone losing Bedford for essentially nothing. Pretty annoyed at this

I thought the trade period couldn't be going any worse. Then I saw a Josh Bruce thread

We're gonna get reamed by Freo here

Next year's draft is better

West Coast would have to be favorites to secure LJ now you would have thought. I can't see a way Freo meet our demands without trading out a talented youngster

The issue is next year when his current contract expires. Don't think I can stomach another season of speculation and distraction like we just had with Jackson

Andrew Thorburn

Cornes doubling down on radio this morning. Calling yesterday's statement a lie. The only thing that's going to make this go away is Kozzie's signature unfortunately

Jordon was coming 4th in the best and fairest after Rd 16 and was probably heading for a top 6 finish if injury didn't strike him down. Sure, he's not a line breaking natural winger but he cracks in, defends brilliantly, hits targets and plays team first footy. And he's only 21. Thought he had a fine season.

Reports that Tarryn Thomas could be keen on a change of scenery. His skillset would compliment our midfield group perfectly

Can't see indiscretions by ex staff from a decade ago weighing on his decision that heavily. Could be wrong

Bring it home Clayton 🥇

Got on pretty good authority we've already had a chat to Stevie J. Being courted by a handful of Vic clubs.

All of the three you mentioned have either already requested a trade or are about to request one. If you're only concerned about next season than don't, there's no way we trade him. Just pray he doesn't stall negotiations and create a distraction for the team throughout 2023
