Feel a little sad that Weid has gone and it’s not because he has been a regular best 22 player, it’s something else. Have spoken to him a few times and always found him to be a nice guy, as the above tweet shows. Maybe he is too nice and that affects his game, who knows. I was still holding some hope he could resurrect his career with us, but that is not to be. Anyway I wish him well personally, though not his new club. Hope when he finishes his AFL career, he regards himself as a Demon.

Yes I realised that.

Can understand Mark being offered the same job back with family. He as a family man, is different to a 20 year old, single boy, who has signed a document agreeing to be drafted and play for any AFL Club, anywhere in Australia. I wish Mark all the best.

They certainly seem to be the most favoured, successful team in the AFL. Fixturing, government funding, go home factor, connection to top level of AFL, huge surrounding regional area, cheaper cost of living ( property prices ), higher than most father/sons, localised sponsorships etc, etc.

Sounds like the new guy is already to go. While it could be Yze, or Hayes, it’s probably more likely to be an experienced Coach, to appease the fans and players.

CASEY Demons Premiership Coach Mark Corrigan will be heading down the highway next season, accepting the role of VFL Senior Coach with the Geelong Football Club. Corrigan who was appointed as Casey's senior coach at the start of the 2021 VFL season, lead the Casey Demons to their first Premiership since 1999 in 2022. A former Geelong VFL player and five-time premiership player with South Barwon, Corrigan who will move back to Geelong to be closer with family and friends.

Where is Demonstone when you need him?

I think that is about right. Added to that, both players would not be considered to be in our best 23, but Schache is 4 cms taller than Weid and possibly a bit more versatile, having played at both ends of the ground and helping out in the ruck.

Have we gone to the Dogs?

Essendon have a stack of young talls. Maybe could have swapped for one.

David Carradine here, please stop using my famous catchline without permission.

With our luck he will go just before 40.

Do we know what contribution Pies are actually making to his contract. One report is saying we are only getting $150k a year leaving us with $850k. Surely that is wrong and rumoured $300k per year is closer to the mark.

Why can't you? You stuff up, want to fix it and throw in a pick with a player, to get rid of him and his contract. The only reason we are all excited is because it is a high pick. We have seen player and pick swaps before. The only difference here is that it's pick 7. BTW, Grundy says hello.

But only because we couldn't do it.

Gone very quiet on DL again.

They did.

We will have Weid pick.

We should threaten to walk away if not done today for 27. 5 years at $1m per year. Oh yeah!

They are not keeping $1m per year for 5 years in their salary cap. They have just re signed Jordy, plus brought others in. He is ours for 27, end of story.

Everyone in football lies.

27 will go to Pies, probably tomorrow. We get 42 approx for Weid. Bundle that with 54 and 72 and maybe get a pick in the 30’s and that with 13 will be our 2 picks this year.

No need to, we will keep it as we need it.

Silly boy, should have kept his mouth shut. Has just admitted to lying to everyone. Didn’t need to say anything. Shows he is not the smartest cookie in the packet. Anyway, wish him well personally, but I hope Freo never beats us while he is a Docker.

Our F1, Freo F1 and new one you suggest by trading 3 seconds for Grundy and their F1.
