I am very nice actually. And as a poster I have a lovely disposition. Perhaps tomorrow you can wake up, find a couple of minutes and actually look at what you are reacting so poorly to. I find you quite excitable and irascible, and why wouldn’t you be - you’re a Dees supporter at the end of the world. But have another read and take a joke.

Well this was immature. Are you hurt? That’s an excuse apparently. Or perhaps you suffer a behavioural affliction. Also an excuse Down a K-hole? Excuses for days…

It’s fine. I don’t sweat the small stuff. He was OOC. I hope we keep it as it has inflated value after draft night. We might snag an another 1st round pick for 2026. Hopefully the club can stop being ‘so smart’ and just hold its picks for a bit.

We aren’t going to have to worry about ‘performance’ or ‘production’ or ‘finals’. That’s not for us to worry about anymore. Don’t worry your tired brain about that… shhh… shhh…

We didn’t know we were 5th last, LAST week?

Can we deathride Freo again? Future 1st somehow pls

So you didn’t want to extend him? Doing ‘nothing’ was continuing to have pressure on us to lose him for little. Your posturing with little purpose.

Losing good players for picks that don’t get you good players is how you end up ‘in the doldrums’ not long term deals with the cap nearing $20m. The long term deal is to protect the club from not getting value for the asset. The situation with Clarry is different because the asset is distressed which is why we have to pay half of his salary to make it less distressed for a possible club.

You spelled hearsay as heresay and that’s heresy.

Yes, but if we pay him out - as is the supposition in the earlier post, not based on any report or rumour - then other clubs can get him for no outlay and on the minimum $$$.

That’s the real balls up. Tieing salary to the cap meant that we never got any relief as that contract aged. The long term deals are fine if you give them to the right players/people. I think we made a mistake on Oliver for reasons none of us want to elaborate on for a variety of reasons. If Lamb sticks around, he needs to be judged internally on how quickly he can realise King’s vision of the playing list.

We cannot get a price we want if we are unwilling to say ‘eff it. Steven - see what you can do’ He had problems with how well the club was run and guess what we did? We got rid of the Prez, the CEO, the head coach, and are trying to get rid of the bloke that was a weight on the culture. Absolute vindication and while he wants a fresh start he can have near that next year. If we are not willing to walk away then we are cooked and we may as well relent to picking up two of Adonski’s favourite teenagers and tank in 2026. When will we rise again? Not certain when you give away 50c on the dollar when you finally have good players.

Perhaps it would but the pressure on the club from fans such as those on here who on the one hand are filthy at Petracca and want him gone and expect the club to not have him on the books in 2026, and on the other hand expect the club to get its pound of flesh and get real value from him. At some point these are antithetical concepts - I am more than willing to let King have a go at making him into a fwd-mid who we try to minimise the times he kicks into the for are half. But there are fans that will not accept him back at all and is the club going to want to weather that?

Will Sam Mitchell and his wife take Bailey and his mum out for dinner? Stay tuned!

Good! You didn’t forget about Dre! It’s a real problem apparently

May fought openly on the field and off the field with his teammates. Oliver is still doing the things off field that would make Adam Kingsley rethink his interest in him. Petracca is at times insolent based on our terrible efforts of being a footy club. There are degrees and I do not think King wants to just ‘get rid of him’ the way he wants to do with Oliver. CP5 gets us Humphries or he stays.

Tell the old hag to go for melbourne

My reticence to acquiesce to these picks has little to do with ‘this draft’ and more to do with where they fall. I don’t think getting the tenth best talent this year and another more spectacular selection is tantamount to 4 more years of Petracca. Just keep him. Tell him now and ruin his holiday. WTF do I care

Right there with you with the gaviscon And I will burn down Waverley

You are a dog with a bone with this. I will hold you personally responsible for the fates of ND11, ND20, ND22, and ND 37… Personally. Responsible. You don’t want that pressure

58er / DEELUDED You are on the spectrum and that is fine but when it is undiagnosed you can fall into a non-self-reflective chasm that is impossible to get out of. I think you mean this as a joke so good on you but it just reads like you are attacking a poster for the mire of the last 3 years. A mire I predicted in early 2022 after seeing how we had devolved our forward attacks to save the midfields legs. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

Got to the game last night with a very tired 5 year old boy who loves Tayla Harris. Was in the pocket for a few Tayla crashes so we got our monies worth. They game was a decent standard but we are always going to have a problem with teams flooding back and us looking like we are aimless forward as there is no space. Interested to see how we go against the Lions up at The Stadium in a few weeks time. Eliza M is my favourite player in either team right now and Maeve C is a skilful force of nature. Will say it again - we must keep Tayla until she doesn’t want to do it anymore.

Sure

That’s if we don’t trade away our pick next year, as Cal Twomey says “no club hates having a future first round pick more than the MFC.”
