whatwhat say what

it's not about 4 and 23 - which is likely to become something more like 7 and 30 - it's about how do you replace a player of his ilk - a 25 year old tall who can hold down a key role forward or back, and be part of a premiership-winning defensive set-up easier said than done

we'd need to replace a 25 year old key forward / premiership winning back with something of a similar ilk that's why crom are offering petty a small fortune; his like don't exactly grow on trees i remain hopeful that he'll be offered commensurate with his importance to the side beyond 2025 and will stay with us; we need him to do so

the week just won't be the same

pick 4 and 23 provides zero value for us compared to a swingman 25 year old premiership player we are in 'win now' mode and taking a player like petty out of our best 23 does NOT help us do so

presuming you mean jarman?

sydney seem able to maintain distance of a 2-4 goals

why? i'm sure no hatred a 4 year contract for a 30 year old couldn't assuage not really! i feel like we're a 1-6 side personally

elliott yeo ooc at the end of this year too...

i expect we'll suffer from fatigue against the baggers on a thursday nite... - 13 days til Richmond - then ⁠10 til cats - then ⁠5 til baggers - ⁠then 10 til meth coke having a 5 day gap between geelong and carlton match-ups is particularly strange imo

i'm in two minds about going to filth vs pear as an afl member neutral as well - might hit you up @Bring-Back-Powell and @danielE288 if i end up doing so

that's because it's used for the easter show hence why they have home games in canberra during this time

it's incredibly costly from all reports we might be better off than we were a decade ago, but we don't have the cash nor support staff to spend in the likes of these areas

they're just prepping em for the inevitable request to be traded to geelong

clark to geelong lumumba to melbourne varcoe to filth

we wouldn't want picks, we'd want players we're in 'win now' mode not 'plan for the future' mode

ross the boss' opening line in the presser last nite: "that wasn't us" oi! stop stealing goody's material!!

offer came way too late we would've wanted to turn that into something else, and wouldn't have had the time to work a deal typical crom

aints putting on zero defensive pressure

almost like playing two minnow clubs at a carpark on a thursday nite is a terrible idea

the problem being there wasn't a cash-in the offer was mcadam and pick 14, which ended up as pick 19, from memory petty is worth more than that

jefferson did the same thing the week before

st. kilda hate scoring tho

same reason we get to train at the adelaide oval, or the scg, or the gabba, or our beloved perth stadium, when we're on the road

disappointing

Tigs poor form must be hurting presale
