Young Angus

He would look at home in a black hart hat with CFMEU stickers all over it.

Can't it be both?

So who is actually going to get shown the door here?

I am thinking this too, and if this is the case you can bet your bottom dollar Trac and everyone else knows and they're pushing hard for something to affect change.

What the heck are we doing about a backup ruck??

Still hopeful perhaps we can get a Waterman or Lynch, would be nice!

Max is the best captain by a country mile. Now and going forward. If he doesn’t want it that’s different if he’s just had enough, but he is an amazing captain and we should be so lucky to keep him on as captain. He’s a true leader in every way!

Wow that letter worked fast hey…our saviour!!!

Does this mean Trac will be doing the Ringwood RSL talk?

Get behind Trac and our team this is great news now I can’t wait to use that number 5 pick and get some gun to join the fold.

Love this news, I have faith this is the right thing and onwards and upwards, this will be good and things will get fixed I’m sure of it. Well played!!

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.
