Dawn of a new Era - Paul Guerra article 18.10.2025
100% this. We've had significant change to the list the coaching group and the powers that be. It should have happened a lot sooner but I'm bouyant after coming close to falling out of love with the club such has our demise been since the flag. I still think we are bottom 6 next year and that's ok. We could turn quickly after that.

The List Manager Tim Lamb
I'm happy with our overall result. We had to get Trac n Clarry out, to not do so would have prolonged our pain. It's just a shame May couldn't find a home then King would have had an absolute clean slate. Mihochek and Steele would have to be 2 of the most respected solid characters in the league and they are in our team next year. I expect bottom 6 again next year but we have now turned the corner and can now look forward instead of back to 2021.

Wade Derksen
Agree re Adams. I've not seen much to be enthused about even at Casey but hopefully he gets solid game time next year. I'd rather he get games than May who we look likely to retain.

Wade Derksen
Tim Lamb said today they had cooled off Wade as he would be surplus to requirements due to the rapid rise of Disco and also have high hopes for Jed Adams

Farewell Clayton Oliver
We will be even more hurt when Clarry commits himself to being a footballer again. Kingers will be the best thing to happen to him. He will not accept anything other than optimum output and commitment and we will all be reminded of just what a monumental fall from grace we instilled upon ourselves.

Farewell Clayton Oliver
Geez they'd be hard to beat. Breaking lines with ease.

Farewell Christian Petracca
We've been bottom 6 with them for 2 years. All of them are toxic. We are likely bottom 4 with or without them next year but keeping them only prolongs our pain. Fancy going through all this club destruction a 3rd year next year. No thanks

Welcome to Demonland: Jack Steele
Yeah good point re ball movement. But what price is setting standards around the club? We are years off contending again. I love both Trac n Clarry but the thought of going through this mess again if one stays will do my head in and out rebound will only take longer. Can't believe I'd ever say it but I want both gone otherwise it's rinse n repeat.

Welcome to Demonland: Jack Steele
I'm overseas and out of the loop but with Flanders choosing Saints Jack is almost certainly gone. Is there a knock on him, is his body cooked? Is he past his best? We are in desperate need of culture change and leadership qualities and i would have thought this guy has it in spades. We are bottom 6 for a few more years I reckon and need a no DH policy to turn this club around ... on and off the field.

The Window
It shut round 12 2024 in Alice Springs. Was pretty obvious to me that day and I called it era defying. We've regressed significantly since then and I fear we have not hit rock bottom.

Farewell Christian Petracca
More likely us upping his trade value but a very sus result. I'd have Bowser and Kozzie well ahead of him and probably Rivers

Farewell Christian Petracca
Tracs runner up in the Bluey surprised me and many others. As did his speech about it being his job. Starting to make a little more sense now. Pass me the mayo....

Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver in 2026
Agree. What we are witnessing right now is a clear indication of just how inept and dysfunctional our club has been for the past few years. It's embarrassing and everyone involved from previous coach, board, entitled players and anyone who turned a blind eye to the unfolding mess should be ashamed. 2021 doesn't seem that long ago but the failures of our club since then are extraordinary. Bring out the broom and start again.

Farewell Judd McVee
Saw him at Casey on Friday watching the girls, doubt he'd be rocking up to watch them the day before defecting if they'd broken up.
