Pert and Roffey - The Review Thread
I had little faith in Roffey (and pert) before listening to that interview I have zero faith after listening to it

Pert and Roffey - The Review Thread
She did acknowledge there was issues at the club. I wish Gerard asked her what they are. He was pretty soft with his questioning

Farewell Adam Tomlinson
Good luck to thommo. Remember when we recruited him he was going to play wing 🤦♂️
-
Caleb Daniel
Is he an upgrade or downgrade on bowey ?? No way we could have both in the team

Farewell Alex Neal-Bullen
On second thought I think this would mean effectively a anb for McAdam swap , yuk

Farewell Alex Neal-Bullen
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

Trade Targets
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

How Many Weeks For Kozzy?
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

Delistings 2024
What a disappointing career for schace given his draft position and hype. He'll dominate some suburban league next year. Good luck to him

My 3 word player analysis V Collingwood
No but I saw them. Never met a supporter who just watches for mistakes
-
My 3 word player analysis V Collingwood
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

My 3 word player analysis V Collingwood
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.

POSTGAME: Rd 24 vs Collingwood
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

Laurie Extends for 2 More Years
But that preseason though, trained the house down!!

Luke Parker open to move
100% nailed it my thoughts exactly
-
Farewell Alex Neal-Bullen
Yes with limited grey matter

Farewell Alex Neal-Bullen
Adelaide have the ability to rise up the ladder next year so their future second may be not worth much more or even worse

Greg Stafford departs Melbourne
Who do we blame if our forward line sucks next year??!!

NON-MFC: Round 23
Game over Essendon have done it again, first half season specialists. Almost fell sorry for their supporters , almost

NON-MFC: Round 23
Glorious, seeing Essendon [censored] the bed and miss finals is somewhat softening the blow of our season. Carlton and Collingwood miss out and I'm satisfied

Dan Houston
So Houston only became aware of all these "issues" after a Tom Morris report and the subsequent SEN , AFL.com, hS page page and airtime fillers in the last 3 days.... Please

Best Presser Ever!!
I applaud his level of bravery to get out on the field , but seems really dumb for the club to allow him to play while so banged up. I was one who got stuck into Clarry at times this year due to what he has produced on field which has been way below his standard and barely AFL standard recently. He should never have been playing with such injuries I thought we learned our lesson in 2022 by selecting the effectively the same 22 every week when we have able replacements playing good footy at Casey and not manage players after the 10-0 start ,we saw what happened in finals.

Season 2024 Over for Clayton Oliver
Good, will be a net positive for the final 2 rounds. He's been between serviceable and liability for much of the season and his last 3 weeks diabolical. Amw back in ,Judd more midfield please. We need to make clarry earn his spot through performance next year

Farewell Alex Neal-Bullen
Good lord one of the positives of 2024 wants out. He's given his all for the club. Him and Angus along with Max are truly heart and soul players and now 2 will be gone. This will leave a big hole
