Tigers would probably be prepared to kick in a couple of early first rounders plus say, Taranto.

As a dog lover, I am deeply offended by the suggestion that they change the name to the “Mutts” which is derogatory to all canines. If they must change the name then why not the more elegant “Dachshunds”?

Now that is what I call an injury list.

The Board “jettisoned” one president three years ago and less than six months later, we won an AFL premiership. Soon after followed a VFL premiership, then an AFLW flag and a McClelland Trophy. If that’s what “jettisoned” means, bring it on. I could be wrong but Kate Roffey tendered her resignation. That’s not the same as being “jettisoned”. As for litigation, we’re aware of one set of litigation that was recently decided and its outcome. The other cases are still running and we won’t know who is at fault until the case is heard. There’s nothing we can say about that so it’s not advancing your argument at all.

"Underperformed"? There are 17 other clubs who all have coaches. Tell me how many have matched Goody's performance and why?

Any votes?

Obviously the President and CEO have to have a role in the process. Who would we like to oversee the process? Bozo the Clown. Let's see how it progresses before jumping to unnecessary conclusions.

Good point. Well made.

So very true. I picked up a Herald Sun at my local cafe this morning and was staggered to find nothing in there from the usual snipers having a dig at our club. At least they will have Port Adelaide, Ken Hinkley and Charlie Dixon as their whipping boys over the next week.

I'm shocked that the Nibbler to Adelaide trade is being run on such amicable lines. I thought from reading the expert commentary in the media that it was yet another example of the club's poor culture and sheer incompetence.

Good point -> our problem is that we don’t win enough of those games and indeed, we failed in 2024 because we lost a number of close battles e.g Carlton, Brisbane, GWS and the recent Port Adelaide game, the last 3 being without Tracc. Win them and we finish top four.

Or a breach of contract. No biggie.

He's contracted and wouldn't have signed the contract unless he was keen on the club he loves. What an extraordinary human being.

The word from the Harbour City is that Collingwood is heavily into Peatling. This should serve as a warning to those in the Tracc to Collingwood camp because the Pies aren’t investing in a chase for Petracca as well as another midfielder. They have neither the cap space nor the ammunition for a trade.

The club has a penchant for players from WA with funny names and we need a ruckman who would work well as a break glass in case of fire with Max. AFL clubs reportedly monitoring WAFL ruckman

It’s our second home ground. Demon fans who don’t go to the snow in the middle of winter, come up to sunny Queensland. A win for the Dees!

Any other news from training?

There's a good write up on his performance for his school team in the Herald Sun online edition.

Thanks for posting this - yes. He's down on his elite standards which is where he was in the first half of 2023 when he was getting up to near 40 disposals per game. Those figures need to also be taken in conjunction with his time on ground which is one of the other factors that sees him down from elite to average or above average in a number of categories. I'm sure there will be a lot of time put into getting a full pre season into his body and legs so that he can get up to elite in every category and then watch out.

I wonder if we're going to pull a surprise with a miraculous recovery from Max to take on their ruck might?

He still might be worth a peep.

The heart always says I want Collingwood to lose but what result is the best for Melbourne?

Agreed. They turned the tables on us last year when we were red hot faourites. Let's return the favour and take that smug look off (censored)'s cheeks.

He also didn't warrant being on the end of a couple of suspect poor umpiring decisions the following week.
