No. 31

All valid observations but if it continues there will indeed be a drop-off, incremental and over a long time span. If the AFL was serious about equalisation wouldn't they increase the salary & soft cap for clubs that finish lower on the ladder? 🤔

I think you are right. GC have both picks and decent young players. Their problem is that they don't want to pay the price required ... for now ... The Dees with Petracca or the Blues with Curnow can sit tight. Unless they get some great offers, those players can stay, they have years to run on their contracts.

I never turned on CP5 😇 I fully supported his attempts to move to Carlton last year 😁

100% correct. There are more reasons for Trac to stay on than there were last year. Not saying that a trade is fantasy but definitely less impetus this year than 12 months ago.

I have both Melbourne and Carlton Memberships and can confirm the CFC membership team are far more professional and proactive. When I have dealt with MFC membership on the phone they are very polite and helpful but Carlton membership dept are regularly sending me texts that my CC is about to expire and I may want to update my CC details. They are like polite debt collectors 😁

A Carlton il cibo è migliore A Carlton il cibo è migliore 🤌 Trac & Pitto can trade their Nonna's cooking tips 😁

Was driving around on Saturday taxi service duty (picking up daughter from language school) and accidentally tuned in ... thought he did a pretty good job and liked how he said that Goodwin is one of only 4 MFC Premiership coaches and that whenever he comes back to visit the club the red carpet will always be rolled out for him. Take that Caro! 😁

Just don't borrow Pet-racca Semetary or C(l)arrie at your local library 👻 Can't claim credit for these, read them elsewhere 😁

There is always the Carlton gig next yesr if there is no improvement under Vossy in 2026 😁

I have no in depth knowledge of the world of assistant coaches but he seems to hsve good credentials and congrats on the Dees for going with a novice senior coach. Looking forward to seeing what style of play the Dees will have in 2026 👍 PS - I reckon Buckley is Tasmania bound.

Just on the Dogs and Saints, Doggies had deals like $1 memberships on the proviso thst the following year was full price and St Kilda had $7 3 game packages for 2026 recently. I would be curious what each club's full home adult membership numbers are? 🤔 Too often its a case of comparing apples with oranges.

Caro loves to take swipes at MFC, not sure what it stems from, just observing [carry on ...]

Warner signed a 2 year extension earlier this year (so contracted to the end of 2027).

Who would have thought that throwing obscene sums of money at Tom De Koning and Jack Silvagni might upset current, valued players at the Saints 😁

Warner to Freo Curnow to Swans LJ to Carlton Does tick a lot of boxes ... 🤔
