If we give up all these picks to get ND1, I am certain WCE will give us the 3rd/4th round flotsam to fill our list. I say this because I think that is a concern for some on here for some reason…

I want an apology

Yes, well said. When Taylor says ‘hey lambie, get us up to this pick’ good things happen. what dross is in this thread

We either did this to get into another trade convo or for a specific player and I love when Taylor trades up for a specific player. We don’t need ND27, we need talent. And don’t get me started on points…

But the points !! YOU ARE FORGETTING THE 4 COROLLA POINTS ARE MORE THAN THE FERRARI POINTS

Apology accepted. See people - is that hard? Just apologise to me for your constant indiscretions and we are fine.

You should have stopped after “I know it doesn’t work this way”

He’s a 194cm, 100kg meathead. So no, not a Fritsch type

If we can’t get Sydney to oay a decent pick AND $650k - we may end up paying something of his salary

It’s also about game style - our mids are instructed (or they just prefer to) dump the ball long especially when entering the 50. The Pies are more methodical with their approach. Ok don’t think it is entirely to be dismissed- it’s indicative; just have to find out about what.

I know it is an adjustment. We would still have the press but it would give us better looks up forward to our best forwards Fritsch and Pickett in 1-1 situations that may allow us to keep CP5 in the middle longer, or more damaging when he does go forward. Right now, we are defence first and defence last - all I am trying to do is question that ‘last’ bit and for us to lean into our future - McVee and Rivers - the exact same thing we did with Lever and May to win in 2021.

I’m a no, but that’s not really against Jack - it’s more that I want to lean into a new focus on what I will call the McVee-Rivers Standard. Strong counter-attacking HBs, wings, and outside mids who are bold, comfortable with handballing forward, have neat kicks, and provide ‘just in time’ defence - not ‘defence first.’ The difference being that when the ball is in dispute - they are looking to be positive, so that when we intercept - we are off, and when we don’t intercept -we push to block space and get to the corridor. To me, Billings is a front runner.

‘Petracca; next MFC Captain’ is in pen.

That’s a good result really.

I effing hate that gif

We didn’t play him ahead of Schache. In a final. Schache. Got to be too much water that has now flowed under that bridge. The bridge is now gone. Time to move on. If we get a pick in the 20s - great. 30s - sigh. 40s - Argh. 50s - ok, Brodie, you’re sticking around…

Do they mean as ‘senior assistant’? Someone has to run the box. It’s either McQ or Chaplin.

I think there is a three pronged improvement for us next year; better forward talent, better ball movement, and better forward movement and structure. The first one is trade period, the second one I hope is an FD as a collective mindset shift with hopefully mcQualter driving that, and the third is a forwards coach with a system and structure and discipline of movement and patterns. I haven’t seen anything very impressive when I have been at games the last few years. Aside from Fritsch and Brown here and there, there is not much forward craft and structure on display.

That’s good. Now what’s the go with Stafford?

So he’s not leaving to win something then…

Well, no… for two reasons; you misspelled ‘aren’t’ and you took from my post something that I didn’t imply. Supporters opinions don’t matter. My opinion, and most certainly, your opinion doesn’t matter.

I am glad to see a nuanced response from posters on here toward this decision. It’s the kind of decision a good footy club makes. There are many benefits to him staying as others have noted in a year that will be a rehab year. He won’t take list spot with the long term injury replacement mechanism, he will be cheap, most of his salary would be covered by insurance - it’s a free hit and allows us the option to insert him into a 2025 forward line that might still need him (he’s a niche role player that don’t grow on trees). And he is an excellent leader to boot.

3 words isn’t enough, no.
