I think but am not sure, that maybe the race club owns the guineas car park. If that is the case we would either need to buy or rent. From the article it sounds like the MRC are pushing this site. It is huge though. We will need to see from the announcement exactly what and where is the deal comprised of.

That’s the one I said, which won’t be relevant to going from training base to ovals.

The new area is by far the biggest area so far suggested. I am just unsure of the tunnel they are mentioning. I know of two tunnels there, one to the inner car park for cars from Glen Eira Road and the other a pedestrian one from the inner car park to the grandstand. Not sure if there is another, but wouldn’t think that one would be suitable. Anyway it sounds like it will finally be green lit. Great for the Dees.

Well that’s thrown me. I didn’t see that area as the new training base and am not sure other than being closer to the train, why it is being considered, but it sounds as though it is now very close to being finalised in the approval stage. Hope there is some car parking for dees fans who want to attend training too, as the area is heavily used by train travellers who park their cars all day.

What makes it more ridiculous, is when the Captain himself admits he is a ridiculous choice, as he has never captained anything before. I would have thought after 8 AA’s and what he has gone through ,Max was a pretty obvious choice for his leadership, but if not him then Dawson would have been the one. They have actually denigrated that part of the AA team. But it is the AFL and they get a lot wrong.

No one goes ahead of Robbie, no matter what. Happy for Max to be next.

Or if you are a full back, stop your opponent from getting it.

Maybe I am getting senile, but I don’t see that as a bad deal. 2 first round picks and 2 players who will be best 23 Blues. Curnow 29 before next season, is 2 years older than McLean and 4 years older than Campbell. Curnow can be flaky and put in poor games as we have seen. He has had injuries too.

I will give him one more year.

Disagree. I think we are looking at Derksen as a defender. However I also think Jeffo won’t get more than another year to prove himself.

So how did that player with the Swedish mother and Australian father who has lived here his whole life qualify? Tairons’ father was born in Samoa and that is Oceania. I don’t think Oceania is included in NGA but may be next year, which could give us access to his brother.

I feel somewhat ashamed to reveal this, but I have had matcha lattes in the last few days, as I heard matcha possesses several health benefits. I have not forsaken the banana, as it holds a scared place in my daily life, but I have broadened my horizons somewhat and will now wait to see if the mooted benefits of matcha are in fact true.

Don’t see any impediment to a deal if a signing was announced, as could still be traded and the fact we are looking at Max Heath, suggests we see it as likely not happening. But then again.

I would be chasing Max Gruzewski from the Giants. Family here. Behind Cadman, Hogan, Brown and Riccardi. Contracted to 2026. Giants facing a list squeeze. Was happy to be drafted by us but we couldn’t get him.

Horses’ mouth?

It is a strange situation and I don’t doubt Ghosty or Danny at all and accept Judd has committed to us, I just can’t work out why we would hold the announcement this long. Look forward to the announcement ending this thread and all the angst.

I am probably more interested in the second one.

Actually quite the opposite.

You are welcome.

Could they just tell DL, if we promise to keep it secret?

Sorry mate just saw your post after I repeated it. Great minds yeah.

But we might have a senior Coach, who is already planning and implementing.

True, but how many with reduced output and other issues, would be tolerated in a business, for also distracting younger employees, while the boss is speaking in a meeting, discussing the businesses’ current results.

Tim see the post two before yours and even the following one and there could be the answer. Maybe it also encourages Richo to look around at other options. It is not the creation of another role as I see it, but rather a renaming at best and maybe a way to change the person in it and even remove the salary from the soft cap, if it is included in it.

No just like our season, same old same old.
