Young Angus

Love it, I mean all else aside this is how most of us probably feel. Hope Trav gets to read this. Well written and thank you for doing that on behalf of so many.

I agree it is positive, just wouldn’t mind seeing some adaptive game plans and, perhaps some more exciting interesting fun watchable footy wouldn’t go astray. I’m sure he has it in him and occasionally we see something we like I guess. Perhaps patience is required from us fans

I wonder when we will all actually find out the truth about what’s been going on and what has upset so many people.

This is very true and back then it either at treat, but something isn’t right now and it needs to be dealt with. Very very happy to be proven wrong though

Pretty sure that’s exactly what he did…and he’s a total brat

Hawthorn also have a very good coach that seems to be very well liked and trusted by everyone. I’m sure that goes a long way. Now I love what Goody has done for the club and I know the players like him, but cmon let’s deal with the elephant in the room I just can’t see that kind of work being done by Goody like what Sam Mitchel has done to attract players and sell them success. Everyone knows what Goody will do, boring defensive game play, it needs to change big time because the dees supporters need this change to get interested again too!!

Clubs and AFL need to take the power back…need to be able to trade players against their consent this situation is out of hand and contracts must mean something…but if they don’t, clubs need to get in on that too. Make the players think a bit more before being brats.

So what if Reid is meant to stay somewhere for a period of time, I think we’ve all seen those rules and contracts mean sweet FA. personally I’d be much happier if the AFL just came out and said “that’s it, all contracts can not be broken, end of story”.

Is that for real or just a swipe at how the media creates something out of nothing by starting a completely unfounded rumour?

See out your contract, but hey let's get some ducks in a row to bring Harley Reid home that wouldn't be the worst outcome. We have some cards to play in that deal...but cmon he doesn't sound like he actually wants to leave he is just homesick...let's hope! Seriously though, bring Harley Reid home ffs get him in with a young ruckman and hell we're well on the way to a good young rebuild...let's get all new coaching staff while we're at it!

This is the worst, the club is feeding us all bill [censored] and heads must roll, we want and deserve the actual truth you pack of bastards!

Surely the club comes first, if ANB trade causes a chain reaction of players wanting to do whatever they want despite contracts then we have to just veto all of them

Can’t let him or ANB go now or it’s open season

Looking forward to McAdam and Clarry getting full awesome pre-season, not to mention Jeffo and some of the kids. Petracca needs some love back in his life to thaw his frozen heart, he needs to go see the trolls from Frozen they'll fix him up.

We need the next Bont.

Yeah our issue midfield now big time. Would be nice to have a Waterman or Lynch but not at great cost. We need our midfield back up and humming it has let us down big time.

Fritta is great, never trade him, it was a bad year but these guys won us a flag too you dills. Just need to work harder next year, be better, and win win win

GET IN THE BIOMECHANIST AND GET THAT [censored] CHUCKED OUT QUICK SMART! Get all the lawyers and biomechanists and character witnesses, ridiculous that is three matches, not fair just because it's kozzie.

I hear you, and I don’t like it either, but imagine if we played our guts out and copped an injury in the process. I do think the pies still had something to play for though. Not only a mathematical chance of making finals even if it were slim, but also Nick Daicos Brownlow votes. They would have all been out on the field with that in mind. I do hear you though, we should have served up something better than that but really I doesn’t matter, I’ll be upset if we serve up that [censored] again next year.

I don’t think we tried particularly hard, nor did we need to for any reason at all. Who cares about pride, absolute dead rubber for us apart from a better draft pick by losing which is actually a good thing. Good result I say, no need to put people on the line and risk injury. This was part of 2025 preparation and the boys did well. Bravo, now am excited about 2025 nothing about this game mattered apart from losing gracefully and injury free for us. Crappy attitude? Or just the pragmatic truth?

Poor Billings I felt genuinely sad for him in that moment.

I like Laurie, give him a bit more time I think he’ll be very decent. Had a better game than Woey I thought and only got half a game too! Lay off the kid, he’s a kid, he didn’t get an extension for nothing have a bit of faith.

Bont definitely more deserving. This is genius by Goodwin, very subtle way of getting us that better draft pick. Like a professional move taking the ball over the boundary line without getting pinged for deliberate.

Hopefully the two sides just have an agreement…we will lose by a bunch for draft picks and don’t let anyone get injured. think that’s a good deal for everyone

If max gets injured by these jerks someone’s head needs to roll
