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

Love this guy!!

Surely there are a few thinking this. We all want the win, but really all it does is worsen our draft pick. I know we won’t tank, but seems a bit silly to go for a win and risk injuries. Having said that, will still love to beat the stinking pies, so guess it’s win win 🥇

What is Rachelle like forgive me I don’t know much about him?

This! But also Jeffo after he puts on some size and develops more and is actually ready. Reckon that forward line is starting to have a lot more going for it even without anyone added from outside. would still be keen on Waterman for the right price but it doesn’t feel like we’re as desperate as we were.

They’re a bunch of clowns seriously.

I think I am too young for that, not that I am young, but I'll take it :) Sounds like a good setup though!

These next games mean something...but the opposite of what they usually do, we want to lose them and want others to win to give us a better draft pick potentially. Winning them won't achieve anything and supporters know that at this stage for 2024. Winning would be a waste, not to mention a meaningless risk for players like Gawn.

He's probably exactly what we need as a midfield coach.

Journalists are real parasites sometimes hey

I don't want to trade anything good for Houston but the ANB trade has given us a card we can hopefully play...Houston would make me feel much better about losing ANB, isn't he very versatile anyway?

I'd personally like to try a different more exiting and watchable game style, nothing to lose now but supporters will appreciate seeing something different whether it works right away or not.
