May and Lever the last players to fit that category..both had given several more years to their respective clubs. Would love to hear other examples

Of course they showed the May and Gawn altercation…I’ll see myself to the Media Madness thread.

Offering more than 2 years is a terrible call. Is his heart in it? Or, is he looking for a retirement fund? Has the potential to backfire big time. The bloke can be dangerous. He is also a seagull, who kicks a lot of goals getting out the back

We have met before 😉

Surely not a straight swap...Flanders has potential but not nearly as credentialed as Tracc. Tracc to GC with our Pick 23, for Flanders and Pick 6. Done. Do it tomorrow

amsuing that people still down't know that WCW has just had an identity change. lol. Thanks for the snags at Casey at the girls game by the way

Spot on Clint...It is so apparent now that this is the way the AFL now operates

The articles on Tracc are absolutely useless. None ever offer any decent ideas on what we mightaccept in a trade. Ralph's suggestions are completely laughable. Giving up a Norm Smith Medalist for a bag of chips in a [censored] draft...paaalleeeeeaassssse. The media are willing this to happen and it creates clicks. I am over the Petracca distraction though. Hre really has dragged the club through the mud. After all, "it's his (my) job". That statement tells me all. The Club itself means nothing to him anymore. He disrespects the fans. He once told us that a win was for everyone "who'd ever been embarrassed to wear the colours" - I've never been embarrassed of who I support..frustrated..not embarrassed. He is at fault in creating moments of embrassment though. His kicking is diabolical and cost us on many occasions. None more than the Carlton final. Just find a suitor and make it work for us. Do NOT entertain a fire dale.

The price on Petracca is a top 10 pick this year and change. If no one is fronting up that, do not seek. The media are driving and willing this to happen and hoping we get shafted. It’s up to us to get value. It’s not a fire sale. The rhetoric from Morris and Ralph is absurd as usual

The adjudication of holding the ball in the last was diabolical

I called in and ripped McClure on AW this evening on my way home from work. Told him he would have slagged us if we’d hired Buckley and said it was a boat race. Said he now describes this a “shoddy” process, based on nothing other than his opinion. They then cut me off and gave no right to reply to his moronic response. Pleasingly, Lloyd and Bartel took it to him as well, following my call. He came out looking like a goose and then conceded it was just his opinion

Kelly was also at Essendon for three years and they were not much chop. He walked into Geelong, who were already strong and were beaten by a more dominant force in 2021, us! He will not have the recruiting power that he had at Geelong. Their midfield is stacked and they continue to add to it every year. I'd be careful about attributing Geelong's success to assistant coaches.

Great to see the media back at it. Carro describes the Goodwin sacking as ‘disgraceful’. All sympathy now for Goody, despite her calls for almost three years for him to be sacked due to the off field rumours. then, You read the Billings stuff, which Fox Footy have turned into another story of mistreatment. Painting the picture that he has been hard done by and giving the impression that no one knew about his delisting g until last night at dinner. FFS. The sticking in of the boot and vitriol in the media towards us is really next level.

Doubt it. Too close to King’s Birthday

Nice goal Tholstrup . Still reckon he will make it. Billings crapped his pants and fumbled on the wing. Typifies him as a player.

Can I ask, why do Pies players always get interviewed by the broadcaster after an 'incident' in a final?Channel 7 went straight to De Goey and asked about the incident. He had a pre-prepared defence ...something about a smother...despite the vision showing nothing of the sort...very similar to Maynard. It's almost like it is planned by the club in kahootz with the broadcaster. The AFL try and apply civil law procedures, legalese and principles to their Tribunal/MRO these days, but create bias by allowing discussion of the topic in the media, which creates bias. It's one of the biggest jokes.

I understand that. I guess the point I was making was, there has been zero commentary on what led to the push and shove after the siren. They focused on that, but never delved into what it was all about. Proof that the media controls the narrative.

has anyone seen any vision of the tackle he put on Nibbler? I saw it live and then the aftermath, but not one word about the tackle itself.

I notice this nwhen I see Collingwood's rooms at the MCG. Honour boards are all over the walls. Where f. are ours? Club with the richest history and nothing to be seen of it in OUR rooms. That should be improved. I love walking through the MCC and seeing photos of the Team of the Century, but that stuff needs to be exposed to the players too.

Thank you. I assume that there was some arrangement made, given he has continued at Casey this year.

I’ve tried asking a straight forward question on this…seems we are no closer to an answer

Can others pick him ahead of us though?

More superb deliver from Tholstrup. He is a midfielder. Must be played in That position

Jye Culley take a bow. That’s how you deliver inside 50. Superb

I’m sure Adams pulled one of those kicks in his AFL debut
