What was the story with Bobby Wagner Gorg? Was there any chance to re-sign or was it likely a one and done scenario?

We should all go and see this in gold class.

It does make me feel good that our two high profile recruits have a massive point to prove. A good chip on the shoulder doesn't hurt

I've brought this up before but would like to re-visit. For those who were lucky enough to see the great man play, which current day player did his style most resemble? If any? I never saw him live but from all the books, stories from uncles, tidbits from folks on here, the limited tv footage I got my hands on, I get an image in my head of someone like Paddy Dangerfield. Someone who was like a fierce mountain lion released from the cage moments before the ball was bounced. Most great footballers have killer instinct and bottle but players like this took it to a new level. Really keen to hear your comparisons and if there aren't any and he was just one of a kind, I'm happy to hear that too.

Looking forward to the next update, saves me having to listen to it 😝

Nice one AD

I'd be expecting to see McVee out there again along with others.

People expect the drop off, it could very well happen. Could they win it again? Yes they could. Fact is that this is a club that knows how to get to the pointy end and then it's a new tournament. If they stay healthy they will have another shot at it.

Is this comment a dig though or is it just stupid?

I don't usually mind these guys and their season previews but this one didn't really do anything.

Death, taxes and someone complaining about how the membership, marketing and PR departments operate at the club.

Hate to say it but you're right.

It's all about the tap brothers.

Never make Eddie AFL CEO

Can we have him?

Too good!

Well, yeah. The longer he's unsigned the more chance he is to leave, that's fairly obvious isn't it?

Agree. We were challenging and he gave us the best chance to win, whether people thought he was cr*p or not.

Its not bad for a bite sized news injection.

Death, taxes and an overcast Melbourne day in summer

Was pretty impressed from what I saw. Hits his targets, I think he'll be pushing for that spot.

Yeah we do need a win in that game.

We all really need to sticky tape this on our mirrors to read each morning.

Nah

Yeah I'm with you on their midfield, don't get me wrong they have no slouches and that unit can win you some games especially when De Goey comes to play, but it's no premier midfield and I think they've been kicking the can down the road for a while there. I'm a big fan of their defence, it's got everything you want. Moore the key pillar, Maynard as a lock down, Qaynor and Daicos for dash. For me it's the most well rounded backline going around at the moment and with Pendles spending more time back there I'm expecting more solidarity from them this year in that area. Forward line and ruck are the biggest questions for me, did they ride the hot hand last year? Can Elliot continue those heroics week after week? I'm just not sure. It's a good side, they are full of confidence and may get another decent start. If they don't then it could be a real struggle to get into final 8 contention. Big rap for Mccrae, I think he's ticked all the right boxes in his short career so far. He seems to send a very clear message and wants them to trust the process yet he's also a quick operator on matchday. If things are working he doesn't mess around and will make changes, best first year coach I've seen in a long time. So much film on the Pies now, another year in some of those aging legs. Some hopes pinned on a few who had a purple patch or new guys. I'm thinking just in or out of the finals.
