Thanks Galileo 😊

A lot of people have also completely forgotten that he was at the peak of his powers before the injury and likely heading to another AA guernsey. That night against Carlton where he almost single handedly pulled us back from the death and kicked 5 goals was for me possibly his finest hour. Yet 2024 is now just written off as a bad year for Trac. I supported the decision to part ways but we shouldn't pretend like this transition will be easy.

I'd be good with Taylor. We get so bogged down in drafts about skill, pace, running ability etc. It's never glamourous to talk about a defence first guy but we've needed one for a while. Lindsay would open up the ground with skill and Taylor can carry and draw defenders to him before getting handball off. Bit of a lightening and thunder duo (even though that doesn't make sense).

Josh Lindsay not might be, he is the best kick in the draft.

And this is the thing. I remember at the time people asking if we really would have been happy to hang onto the win or even the draw considering the drop off was the real problem. Of course I agree, it would have been a garbage win but I do think in this particular case scraping through for the win would have been infinitly better than the result we got. The difference between a poor last quarter win and now being the butt of every joke imaginable is wide. People were talking about this for weeks after, the moment a team trailing by 40 points in the last quarter kicked a few goals this game got a mention and will continue to into next season. Avoiding defeat was very much preferable and a rare time where you couldn't take use what-about-ery or we didnt deserve to win-ery to make yourself feel better. We needed to hang on at all costs. As quickly as I felt Max's goal after the siren (after our own comeback) lept us out of mediocreville, this game brought us back there. If we hang on to win this, the Wanganeen-Milera debacle on Browlow night isnt even a thing either. At least it got him his pay day.

I like it

Clarry himself was a bolter.

Excellent article. Personally I got a lot more out of this than the letter the other day. That was some up front and transparent leadership communication. I was pleased to hear more about the dialogue with Steven May and I think this is exactly how this kind of scenario should go. He has been told he probably won't feature in King's plans so his job is now to get back, train his backside off, set a good example for the youngsters and force the coach to change his mind. If your form is good it doesn't matter what your age is.

I care to the point that it will show the world that it wasn't simply an MFC problem. Most of the media lauded the trade for GWS claiming it a 'bargain' and reeling off his past accolades. I don't mind people waking up and starting to see why the price to get him was so cheap. Is this the ready made midfielder that can take you to the next level or is there much more of a project required to get that desired result? While we're at it, let's not forget that this Giants team hasn't achieved the ultimate success yet. With an acquisition like Oliver, you would be hoping for someone bringing intellectual capital and know-how. The benefits could be amazing but it isn't going to be plug and play.

Mueller the GOAT Jack for sure.

Tragic news. My heart goes out to those 3 kids, I can't even begin to understand. A family member is dealing with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma right now. Treatment is going as planned for now but still very hard to wrap your head around. If there is any sort of page where we can make show support in way of a contribution I'd be keen to know.

Congrats on the result @roy11, they dug in and deserved their victory. League positions and form lines just don't mean much when it comes to Liverpool v United.

Is he still going to America? Considering how tough it is for anyone to get in there right now I wonder how he'll go.

Let's try and get Robey and Lindsay

No more F/S unless they're good.

No and thanks for coming.

That's absolutely horrible.

He hasn't been a problem child his whole career. He'll be fine. Beggars can't be choosers, if we want to take the arrogant approach then sure play him at Casey all year. Otherwise we might as well give him a shot.

This rivalry isn't what we think it is. We can go on about sticking it to Maynard and justice for Gus all we want. It hasn't worked and why would it work in future? There was a brief moment where it felt like there was genuine rivalry again but they have our number now. Whether it is putting us out of finals in 17 or the complete failure in the last round this year. It's like boxing/MMA where we've lost the first two fights and there's no need for a third. For the immediate future under this new regime, I would suggest focussing inward and getting our house in order. The best revenge is living well.

Just don't go to Collingwood.

You will definitely get search results rpfc. Of course, it will be great to have an established key forward. However the suggestion that he'll take the best defender every single week in stride is probably not what he built his career on. If it was then the Pies wouldn't have bemoaned not having a key forward for years. I've also never been keen to chase a key forward and also think it has been the way we move the ball. At least we got someone in.

He's a fortunate sun.
