whatwhat say what

other than the friday night there's not much to be excited about this round i'll go: flagmantle puddy tatts baggers? pear filth gw$? footscray i think results are irrelevant to us now as we're so far behind the 8 our season feeling like it's 'over' midway thru june is all too familiar and just sucks

leppitsch is not a coach anymore, i don't think - now head of list management

also true

i would presume most of the leaking is coming from john kanga, tbh

this is sounding very messy https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/demons-board-blocks-incoming-ceo-on-caulfield-plans-parts-ways-with-pert-20250618-p5m8lc.html

I mean… I could be… it’s 50 / 50…

Yeah, case in point - he went broke!

It sounds like from the age article we haven’t even raised enough $$ to start the conversation As per Niall’s series of articles in Ninefax about the monied movers and shakers, our supporter base does not put their money where their support lays; the rich don’t stay so by giving their money away

purgatory, we know it well

paul roos on the abc afl daily podcast said the facilities that a club has doesn't actually make a huge difference in terms of the team's preparation or ability to attract / retain players he compared the elite single facility that the swans have with the shared / far-flung mfc ones, and said he was 'pleasantly surprised' how good our facilities were, albeit shared and spread over such significant distances from the city to casey

Sigh… not great

"hamstring soreness" or "tight calf" or "general soreness"

he seems so determined to go to the one place, and they don't have the capacity to get the deal done i don't know how, given both player's contracts, you can trade either of them oliver puts in more effort, petracca has greater flexibility to-mato / tom-ato

the issue remains that he is, seemingly, only willing to go somewhere, and that's to the filth i doubt they have anything to offer us, and will make us pay for the privilege of him playing for them

just another 'nothing' footballer good in the vfl; below average in the afl

right, so season officially done time to bring el jefe and adams in at either end sorry melk and may, but old blokes first out

at least he didn't sign up may until 2027

no, but he's been so far behind georgiades since he went on to him at every contest that it's just embarrassing

may has looked so, so slow today

All the commentary so far has him as eligible to be drafted by us as part of our nga

That last comment is a pearler

he's the future of the forward line for gw$ they will fight tooth and nail to hold onto him - just as they did to secure the #1 pick to acquire him - and he'll be rewarded accordingly

spargo is an unrestricted free agent - if he gets a significant offer from another club, he may elect to leave according to those who know, this upcoming draft is supposedly the weakest in some time - i for one doubt we will be looking to trade into it we have a host of players who have little or no trade value and those that may have value - particularly the wa boys; van rooyen, mcvee, tholstrup, rivers, even adams at a stretch - are those that i would say we can least afford to lose as they should form the basis of our best 23 side for the bulk of the next decade i really, really hope that kalani white picks the mfc to come to as a father-son; his final quarter in his casey debut last night was utterly thrilling to see clearly we will, if things go our way, pick toby sinnema as an nga pick, while our 2026 nga pick marcus prasad looks like an even more exciting option so, 2026 and 2027 first round picks? sell em to flagmantle - i want dogga jackson back likely delisting candidates: billings hore fullarton woewodin henderson culley billings plays a role as a vfl player but should never play for the mfc again - we have better options as a mid rotation - while hore is unlucky that he's out of contract and is constantly injured, while fullarton is just completely uncompetitive possible retirements: melksham plugger mac campbell personally i would keep all three on the list; possibly shift campbell to the rookie list in lieu of verrall or let him retire IF we get dog back from out west trade options: oliver laurie sparrow fritsch i think laurie offers no value to being on the list as a primary inside mid; he should want and demand a trade elsewhere where he can try and get more opportunity at another club - i personally have doubts as to whether he is good enough to make it in that role in an afl team, but he definitely deserves the opportunity i wouldn't trade oliver or fritsch, as primarily i don't think we'd get value for them (e.g. if the baggers really wanted fritsch, i would want harry mckay in a straight swap - they both offer the same scoreboard impact, but fritsch is a helluva lot less costly on the cap) while sparrow plays a role for us as that small pressure forward / mid, but he frustates me so much with his inconsistency in the role i don't think the likes of salem, petty will realise enough 'value' in a trade sense for us to part with them it's hard to see how we are going to get involved in the meat market that is the trade period this year unless one of fritsch, oliver, petracca demands a trade

i unfortunately won't see much, if any, of the game live as i'll be at the community cup at vic park go the rockdogs, carn the dees
