POSTGAME: Rd 01 vs St. Kilda
Said father being the St Kilda list manager probably had a fair bit to do with it. No conflicts, just chasing the best available talent I’m sure..

POSTGAME: Rd 01 vs St. Kilda
Didn’t realise until watching the kayo mini but Latrelle’s goal came from the Kolt running off the $2m forward pocket, one of his 8 score involvements and probably about 45 of his 359m gained.. cracking game.

GAMEDAY: Rd 01 vs St. Kilda
Cracking day out for Roo. And he should’ve been kicking that from the goal line, McRae tried to kill him after the mark

Simon, is that you?

Bringing in more flakey pretenders doesn’t fix your team being flaky pretenders, even if you pay them a lot

GAMEDAY: Rd 01 vs St. Kilda
Didn’t track it last year as we basically gave up on marking it in the forward line or kicking it to a forward but prior to that we pretty much never lost with 13+ marks i50. May not be as iron clad now that we don’t have the Lever/May show at the other end but good signs

GAMEDAY: Rd 01 vs St. Kilda
Wowee have the saints overpaid for this. Lot of $$ for a team that looks 7th-10th. Roo coming into his body as a 22yo key forward. Some good and bad from the rest, no one flawless but we’re taking it up to these pretenders. May we see more whinging and pointing fingers from Nas and co in the second half.

AFLW: QF vs Brisbane
worst combo of pretending to be the tough enforcer and flopping everytime there’s body contact. Pick a lane..

Mason Cox - A Poll
Don’t need him, if we couldn’t fit Grundy in who’s 10x better we can’t fit Cox in. On field gives me the [censored], probably traumatised from 2023 when he sat 30m out from goal in our fwd line and we hit him on the chest about 6 times. Off-field his recent views on Dayne Zorko have me warming to him.

Farewell Clayton Oliver
so that’s what was weighing him down, all makes sense now

Farewell Clayton Oliver
He’s a gun, all-time great of the club but it’s also pretty clear that he’s a pea-brain and it’s time to get him gone. Still remember half time in the Blues final, team ran out to the Southern Stand side of the square, turned and ran back to the members wing. Claz stayed on the outer side staring up at the stand until Gawn went and got him. Did some good things that night but he was a space cadet. Would pay good money for a tell-all book on the Dees 2022-2024. Gawny’s book on the 2021 year was pretty dull.

Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver in 2026
I literally can’t believe the fall. Cats and Pies both had a down year after their flag but were back in the final 4 this year. Lions didn’t have a down year, just won back to back flags on the G. Drafting has been excellent, but trading has been pox. We still had I think 16/23 premiership players on the list this year and were lucky to finish above the bottom 4. It’s been a massive failure by the coach (aided by the board letting him drive the bus off the cliff) and list management to not keep us in the hunt after 21. We were close in 23 but failed and now we’re blowing up the list for a rebuild. Frankly I cbf anymore. Tuned out of anything related to the AFLM team after the Port game and am just drifting back now. What do we get for Trac? Whatever we can, would like Humphreys but am not confident. Likely 2 picks. Clarry? Not sure he’s gone yet but again likely just a pick if he does go. We’re a bit stuck as this isn’t a great draft by all accounts but there’s this draft and next and Tassie is getting all the picks after that so we need to make the best of it while we can. Think we’re in for another long stint in the wilderness tbh and I’m not sure i have the desire to stick through it again. Apologies for the miserable post but that’s where I’m at.

Simon Goodwin Sacked
They embarrassed him the week before. Don’t this is going to upset the playing group, they had plenty of chances to show they were still with him and never did.

This is it, if it’s done it’s done. Eagles win didn’t change anything, they’d be lucky to win a game in the VFL. If we’ve decided to move on then do it now, find out who’s available and get cracking on 2026

Caroline Wilson’s article 2 August 2025
Richardson is contracted to end of next year Known Shand was at Monday's Board meeting Reported previously Williams is one of the highest paid development coaches in the league Line in the article says “probably” - she’s guessing Standard Caro, throws a lot of mud to see what sticks. Don’t think as many pick up the phone when she calls now as used to be the case..

TRAINING: Monday 28th July 2025
Agree that some on here seem to have gone off the deep end and need to go and touch some grass. I’m as disappointed as anyone with the past couple of years (as I emailed the club on Monday) but people need to vent and move on rather than posting 500 times about who needs to get sacked etc imo.

No but you can get picks, and use those picks. It’s rebuild time so you have to give to get. Giving Fritta doesn’t get much but teams might back themselves to get Oliver and Trac right. And in any case they aren’t winning us any games so move them on to get players in who can.

The problem is you need minimum 2 A-grade mids to even think about making the 8. 2020-2022 we had Trac & Oliver at A, and Viney B. Now we’ve got Trac B-grade with flashes of A, Viney B-grade (and dropping) and Oliver C-grade. We need to either hope Trac can get to solid A again, and Langford get to A, or we need to trade for other A-graders. To do that you need to give up value, no one is going to give us Caleb Serong or Matt Rowell for Bailey Fritsch.

Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver in 2026
As I said earlier in the thread if he can get back to his pre-injury level then we should keep him, at his level now I’m a sell. He’s not what he was in contests and his already iffy kicking is worse. Just don’t let him go to the pies I’ll spew up

Danger career goalkicking 56.0%, this year 54.8%. Trac career 51.8%, this year 41.7%. It’s not list and coaching, it’s his lazy shot technique.

Ralphy talking down the value “nah no one is keen, you’ll have to give him up for a 4th rounder and pay half his contract” Take that peanuts views with a grain of salt

Turner & Bowey probably - would take a deal for Ed and Windsor is a maybe, does good things but can also have some shockers
