Yeah I'd be more open to the pick swap thinking. Really don't want to give them everything they want, they've already shown themselves to be pretty idiotic at the negotiating table RE: De Goey

Are people saying here that testimonies count for nothing?

I'm more than happy for two first rounders with one being a future first. What I'm not going to be ok with is if we just hand over one of those first rounders for Grundy just like that.

The hint is in the names 😉

Or Naughton is going back to defence..

I'd be thinking Essendon would be one of the front runners for this war chest. I wpuld personally love to go for hin but I can't see how it gets done.

Yeah Tommo to the Dogs is nothing. Probably a smokescreen for something else.

Would take that deal all day.

Even a novice can see that we weren't going to nail our first 10 shots at goal in a game, no-one does. So this idea of trying to kill off a game early and then wondering why we didn't when we didn't take our chances suggests idiotic coaching, which we don't have. It has to go deeper than this.

Here comes that rainy day feeling again.

There is a very long way to go on this.

Heard on AFL Exchange if say St Kilda made an offer and Collingwood matched then that could be a way to drop the clauses as well?

Acting like a WEAK footy club.

It's the easiest thing in the world to say after the fact. They may well have but we'll never know, I personally thought Sydney were the best matchup with high pressure and run and I'm not backing away from that. Collingwood had a great season but I'm not sure anyone could have touched Geelong on Sat. A fit Melb would probably have been the best bet but I could see Collingwood getting smoked the second time round.

Isn't very common to have a contract that length with behavioural clauses? Seems to me it's usually like a 2-3 year with a chance to prove themselves and then get another. Maybe the clauses only last the first 2 years or something like that.

Yeah I thought about going to Goodthings to see them but I too can't really get around the festival thing these days, especially on a Friday and this is coming from a former muso as well. It's quite a bit of money to fork out to see one band (love a lot of the others playing but seen them a lot)

Melbourne and Geelong have been almost the polar opposite models. One is a system approach with minimal magnet moving, the other is versatile and flexible. One pushes players through the pain barrier with little rest and the other rests players and rotates with guys playing 70% of the time in the middle. There is no right or wrong way to go about it, clearly because they have both worked. However I do think there is something there when it comes to trying to prolong Max's career. This is the crux of the idea to bring Grundy in and I do get it to an extent and running our guys into the ground did not help.

A rubbish idea in the first place.

Never trust someone who says they love their job or have people say it for them.

Big calls to make down at Collywobble land

Great spot up!

There are some fair numps calling trade radio this morning.

Like a dog chasing something that only they can see

Out of sight out of mind. If it was a Vic club they'd be slaughtered
