It certainly exonerates the club somewhat if it was his management that first broached the subject this year I still don’t think Pert handled this with any care at all mind you

I love Kane Cornes now

Goody is not going anywhere this off season unless a) we have a replacement already lined up or b) the review finds evidence so damning that his position is untenable Unless either of these are the case, now is not the time to be removing our senior coach, particularly when we’ve already lost two senior assistants and we’re only a month away from pre season

I believe he said “we don’t boo at Collingwood” when the crowd started booing in response to another club being mentioned The irony

Latest reporting on Richmond is that they’re considering Lalor or O’Sullivan at 1 (but it’s still very open) I haven’t heard word on who North would take but they’re open to splitting 2, with West Coast also open to splitting 3 I believe there was some word West Coast liked Draper but I could be imagining that - there’s no way he gets past Adelaide though given he’s from SA

He’s still my number 1 pick of this draft (outside of Ashcroft) - would be stoked if he slides to us

My thoughts exactly 💯

Glad to hear that we won’t be trading him - it would have ripped the heart of of so many supporters and been a slap in the face to Clarry But the absolute [censored] show this has been can’t be ignored and it is embarrassing to once again be the laughing stock of the completion If we’re going to keep kicking own goals, the next media story that comes out better be that Green is shopping Pert around (although I presume there will be no takers…)

Thanks for the info as always From the outside this seems more and more like a huge [censored] up by the club, especially if clubs were asking if two first rounders would get it done only a month ago…

Thanks @goodwindees - no worries if you can’t say but does that mean you now think we can get fair value from the Cats?

This is just damning stuff

Absolutely embarrassing from Pert This guy has the subtlety of a bull in a China shop and yet he thought no one would find out if he was shopping Clarry around? I don’t care what, if any, issues have been going on behind the scenes with Clarry - Pert getting caught out has made us look like an absolute shambles of a club and this is now a lose lose situation whichever way we go Seriously disappointed to be an MFC member at the moment

‘kardiniacat’ is a step too far for me

Changing my name to just ‘cat’ if Clarry goes to Geelong

Absolute amateur hour at the MFC right now

I love the idea of trading Clarry now…

Push has come to shove with Clarry, Chook? At least from the club’s perspective?

Very curious to see how the club sells this to members if they go through with it and get chump change in return…

Pert needs to be sacked yesterday

m8 I’m being hyperbolic but if you don’t think memberships won’t be affected by this whole saga you have your head in the sand We’re already thousands down from last year and are every chance to be thousands down again if we have another bottom six finish in 2025 And not just memberships - it’s already been reported we lost Houston because of all the noise around our club If you’re happy to keep paying up then more power to you - I probably will too because like everyone else here I’m a nuff who spends more time worrying about my club than most things But not everyone is in that position and there is nothing wrong with people voting with their wallets if they don’t have faith the club is going in the right direction And to be honest you’re delusional if you think we are at the moment

There will be one less MFC member next year if we trade Clarry for only a future first from Geelong of all clubs

Seriously can we ship Pert off already? I don’t have an issue with the club shopping Oliver if they think that is what’s best - tough decisions are required for all clubs to be successful But every time there is a media blow up it seems Pert is at the heart of it Why is he contacting other clubs about potential trades and not Tim Lamb? Why has he again put the club in a position where we’re walking back something that’s he’s gone out of his way to leak in the first place? Everything about this bloke just screams amateur hour when it comes to the club’s PR

I don’t want to lose Oliver but surely including SDK would be the only way a trade with Geelong happens this year Maybe when Trac goes to the Blues next year we can nab his brother and complete the set?
