It is a strange situation but I also respect King and both clubs for working through it. Imagine if Carlton also did the right thing and went and got Kelly. What is Geelong supposed to do? Happy to begin to hold people to contracts tbh.

So it’s been said… If Cal Twomey is correct then let’s not trade him then, yeah? He is worth more than that and we should keep him. Glad that is settled.

He has, but we just can’t find the paperwork

Personally, I hope he McLeaves…

I was just listing the talls. And no, I doubt McAdam will play another game for us… shame really.

Ok, so I hate to break it to you here… Petty is a serviceable forward and a great backman. JVR is very dim forward that has very few tricks and is easily quelled by defenders. Johnson is a battler but has not shown he can be an AFL calibre forward. Kentfield is untried at senior level and will need help and be shielded even if he does play. Jefferson is nowhere, just nowhere, and I don’t like to talk down on players too heavily so I will leave it there. Mihocek immediately becomes our best tall and provides some cover for whoever of that list of NQR forwards you want to try each week.

Before we ring people up in the town square - his agent has been told to talk to other clubs. Perhaps it was another club that ‘leaked’ that information. As Sam Mitchell has made plainly clear - there is no dignity left between clubs.

Looks like we are all set. Build. The. 23.

For some it is - my wife lost a fifth of her blood… I like you bing but we screwed up

At this rate, Buckley will have to coach… …Carlton

It won’t be for spoils over the line. So it will diminish midfields slightly that are reliant on clearance but not overly. Also Max’s superpower is his marking and his workrate, not his tapwork.

Who is we? I would tell him he is going nowhere so get your agent to ready some quotes about wanting to stay. And what a callous bloody outlook you have. Footy may be a business but how you treat people and care for them is literally what the people that turned this footy club around preached for years. Paul Roos made a brand out of it and we have so abandoned that ‘care’ that we don’t even know what makes a good club anymore. Let’s hope Guerra, King, Smith, and whoever replaces Richardson give a flying f.

And you don’t need to show respect but your opinion can be called categorically wrong. That is also an opinion. It all so pathetic how the petulant children on here forget to mention what precipitated the ‘petulant Petracca’… A near death experience that was poorly handled by our own admission and a stagnant FD that has seen a near total broom being swept through the place with more to come when contracts are up at the end of 2026. So I don’t really know what the f the Petracca haters are on about tbh. You think it was unfounded? Show me the receipts because everything we have done has vindicated his opinion and his actions to escape - except we pulled the trap door ourselves.

Caro doesn’t like non-footy people in footy. So she will immediately see Guerra as a failure waiting to reveal himself, and hence questioning of Ponissi who would be exalted space in sports admin in Australia. Helps to have Bellamy there but he would know what a leader looks like. Again, I would pay it little heed. So no spending of heed. Keep your heed in the… bank?

I’m sorry, you stroked how many members?

What more do you need, mon?

Well I would trade Fritsch but that is a different conversation. Our defensive structure is important when we get it down there - but I am happy to lose 10 Inside 50s if we make more of the I50s we do get. I think we have dined at the alter of repeat entries and come up hungry the last few years…

Can you please not connote speed of ball movement into the forward line with having speedy forwards. Being a good forward in a team that moves the ball quickly is about exploiting space and using the urgency and intensity of what is happening up the ground to get space from your opponent. JVR is not slow, but he also asks nothing of his opponents and doesn’t know how to exploit space to get the ball. Our best forward for a few years now is Jake Melksham and I hope that sinks in with people what it means to be a forward.

They wanted us to compete for Buckley with Tassie and draw direct conclusions on us, Nathan, Tassie etc. Buckley and our appointment are making that difficult so there are frustrated. I wouldn’t give it much heed. But I would applaud people like myself who were pushing for a process and not an all-in on Buckley that would have gone pear shaped…

He is a forward. I can’t tell you right now that we have a player above 188cms at the club who is a forward. There is very little instinctually smart forwards at our club that would straighten us up and exploit space. This would be a signal to the group that we are going to give it a shake and to get on board.

They’re on holidays. Season is over. What more can he do? This report - even if it is true - is subjective claptrap from players who gave less than CP5 in 2025. Giving the players a fresh start applies to all the players not just the ones you like or ‘accept their behaviour’ toward the club. We are not getting value in a trade - we have to prepare for CP5 to be around in 2026 and my request of King is to leverage the power and of Christian and play him in roles that are moulded to his strengths. CP5 having bad body language because of the lack at we kicked into the forward line is not a fireable offence. And I am getting sick and tired of the usual trolls on here that ‘hate’ Petracca but will be the first losers with a sheepish grin if has 30 and kicks 3 in Kings debut next season. Show some bloody respect.

I was making a pointed facetious remark about the Comms and Media teams performance. Guerra seems to be earnestly answering questions and I applaud that.

Since he is not from The Footy World © , he probably doesn’t know Kane is baiting him. And with our media team - he would be blissfully unaware and unprepared and earnest.

Yes there were a few on here decrying the process that was a waste of time that inevitably chose our current coach. So glad we had that process yeah? And I honestly couldn’t care less about what the DeeBrief Bros think about much of anything.

and that joke works on two levels
