Bates Mate

Don't think any of these players are on the trade table. Wright was on the outer towards the end of last year but 50+ goals and a bnf in 2022 don't think the bombers would just let him go for nothing .

They needed to add to the click counter last week and they added this to the Melbourne pile on to get the job done in a non finals week.

Id just like club to communicate what the actual problems are and what we are going to do to fix them . Roffey, gawn ,trac some of the wider football media and some with close links to club have all publicly said there are problems but no one has said specifically what they are. Yes on field performance is obvious but I think there is more to it. We've all heard rumours but if like the club to communicate what they think these issues are

Can we delete this thread give full Amnesty to every poster and pretend it never happened

they never rarely genuine wingers , just another spot for a midfielder. See Ed Langdon 2021

Waterman over Curnow is ridiculous.

This

I had little faith in Roffey (and pert) before listening to that interview I have zero faith after listening to it

She did acknowledge there was issues at the club. I wish Gerard asked her what they are. He was pretty soft with his questioning

Good luck to thommo. Remember when we recruited him he was going to play wing 🤦‍♂️

Is he an upgrade or downgrade on bowey ?? No way we could have both in the team

On second thought I think this would mean effectively a anb for McAdam swap , yuk

They'll give us pick 25 , which is the pick we gave up for McAdam. . In that case you could say we got McAdam for free , which is about the right price based on this year's output

I'm keen on Lukocious as well, great kick, can play both positions still young all ticks. Obviously Hardwick isn't a fan, he was great last year and played some great games this year

Weather it's all him or those around him or most likely both , the "strategy" has definitely hurt his "brand" . Just say he does force his way out to what seemingly is his wish of only the Pies or Blues who fit the big club in the window criteria . How good will it be for his brand ( let alone his mental health) if he does not perform at the level expected which is highly possible given his injuries. After selling the farm to get him the Pies or Blues fans are going to demand a Tracc at the top of his game relatively quickly and they are not the type of fans that will sit quietly and wait for him to perform. The groans of 60K Collingwood supporters at the G isn't a happy place .

Same, only reason I go to games anymore is the fact I meet up with my parents and sister and take my kids so it's a family thing. I've stopped caring as much as I used to and only frequent this forum and some demon podcasts.the while AFL machine makes me angry across so many levels

What a disappointing career for schace given his draft position and hype. He'll dominate some suburban league next year. Good luck to him

His brand is already one of if not the biggest in the AFL. I don't get this part of it

No but I saw them. Never met a supporter who just watches for mistakes

Watched him closely 20 kicks 10 where from kick ins . That he kicked high to a pack everytime. 7 rebounds from defensive 50 for 5 turnovers . I wouldn't expect any one to watch that Trainwreck again but if you did you'd see he was not good

I thought Salem was awful. Took too long to kick the ball when he had it , including on kick ins. Turned it over multiple times. Choose the wrong option majority of the time.

I hate the filth, but they do have a game plan and system that all the players know and execute well, because they are skilled and smart footy players. Yes they won't be in finals but they'll own us for years to come and be back up the ladder next year. Us not so sure . The chocco Williams kicking academy is worse than Trump University

But that preseason though, trained the house down!!

100% nailed it my thoughts exactly

Yes with limited grey matter
