Think Pickett was taking the [censored] considering the fixture hasn't been announced as far as I'm aware.

Culley another who more recently put himself under the nose of recruiters by choosing an aligned club.

AJ and Henderson both came through by excelling at the level. If you are good enough to get on a list, it happens. (Being good enough to produce at afl level is another story entirely, but recruiters always have their eyes scouring for talent in all the pathways)

Culley is AFL standard, the other two are way of!

You can end it by not reading it. Simple.

But some will keep the flame burning!

One of my favourite Dees players. I SINCERELY hope hegets over his injuries and plays some great footy. Saw him quite a bit at Casey earlier and his Training form at Slithera Central was excellent!

WHO????

Someone in 25 years still will be posting about how we should or shouldn’t have traded him for sure!

Yeah, some people have very long memories, a good preventative for Dementia and Alzenhiemers!

Cameron Green is the most overated cricketer in the world. Useless

Sorry PF but I never ask Kingy about any player. He and I were talking and Luker just happened to walk in our line of sight and I told him about when I first met Luker after he’d come to the club under unusual circumstances. Kingy was interested to hear about it, then he gave me his thoughts.

I see, so Jeffo and Moose need to walk past at the exact moment you and Kingy are in conversation? sounds reasonable!

Given the pontification from a lofty height, I think Neverland Ranch a strong possibility!! Stay tuned for an impending announcement.... around 2045 AD

So Ghosty, what does Kingy think of Jeffo and Moose!??

Meanwhile, lets get back to the topic at hand, which is farewell Clayton Oliver!

Have you ever had a positive opinion in 20 years? Even though you are on ignore, your half baked vitriol shines through. The only upside is that you must lead a very disappointing existence. This is a 1st for me to reply to someone Im studiously ignoring.

Go on, really? Just expressing my humble opinion, nar I don't have a disappointing existance at all, great professsional life, brilliant family and did I mention sensational sporting career?

10th in the MFC B&F. 6th in Demonlands PotY.

I wish there was an eyeroll reaction.

Yeah I'm rolling mine now 10th?? In a terrible year is testimony to how dire we were and 6th in Demonlanders Poty is no ringing endoresement either. Lets revisit say half way through the season, I'm sure my opinion will be validated!

It was a combination of both of those things, which doesn't make it any less dumb.

Geelong would have offered him two years maximum, but they also wouldn't have destroyed a premiership list within four years.

Massive blunder by the club, he was showing signs of being cooked last year, now I can see him struggling to get on the park, might end up playing at Casey!

Dazz, given this is Jeffo's last year in contract, how do you see it panning out?

I thought it was because Jack’s manager wanted to secure a great deal for Jack (as well as for himself) and did so by leading everyone to believe that there was a chance Jack may go to North.

Should have called bluff and let him go, and I said so at the time!

I respect that you place a high value on loyalty. That is how I was raised. However, I've slowly learnt that loyalty can be misplaced and even exploited. Loyalty can prevent us from seeing clearly and acting appropriately.

A successful leader has to tread a fine line between engendering loyalty from their team but not becoming beholden to loyalty.

Personally, I think King did what Goodwin couldn't. I wonder how much that played into the board's decision to change coach.

Interesting perspective!😊

My mission should I accept it (and I will) is to find the answer to your question. 😁

Now Ghosty, I know you are a fan, but that line was taken specifically from one of my "Mission Impossible" training reports at Casey, a while back. Not that I mind coz imitation is the sincerest form of flattery🤩

I assume it’s David Stiff who worked for Collingwood for a while?

Yeah well anyone working at Collingwood would have to be very stiff to get a gig like that!

I don’t understand the point of this thread continuing.

He was a great player for us he has gone to another club

For gods sake move on people

This is mine and a few others problem. Best player I've seen since Rob Flower and he is playing elsewhere, just can't quite move on!
