How's everyone enjoying day 1 ?? 🤡🎪🤡 Over at the concessionaires stand you can purchase 🍦🍩🍿 Those wishing something else.... better stock up on 🍻🥃🍷 maybe some 🥨🥜🍕 Gunna be a bouncey ride .... Strap yourselves in...

Ironic to think in Kings novels a recurring incarnation of the devil is a black crow...

I would be too. But in my mind i can temperatures my annoyance at not getting true value if we can get something reasonable...and unload the $$$.

Some sensible and realistic thinking imho.

Best they say nothing ( well publicly ) til there's actually something concrete and positive ( for club ) to say. Powder dry 😉

Pretty much my thinking in the main. Folk won't like the idea of a somewhat mercenary type player but that to me is what he is . I could be wrong...just ask my wife. I've no actual problem with that. As long as if you wear the jumper its 100% + efforts as any one should. I think theyre a little (🙄) disenchanted ...or at most nonchalant about Melbourne and happy for a reset. Again no probs provided we get reasonable recompense. This is the world. Would he be happy at another club ? Well.. probably not best to ask me as once you're out that door i really couldn't give a 🪰'n 🏒😉 For some this might be illusion shattering.... look .... he's out scouting another club. Does that mean he's going ?? Gives this spectator the impression its more likely than not. 🎪🤡🎪🤡🎪 Roll up... roll up..

Certainly is.

Milky should definitely play across the HFL. Just give him license to do whatever really, he has the smarts to play clever footy. Knows how to weight and direct kicks. If no one around I'm sure he can find the sticks 60 out 😉 Need to give forwards space but also get them knowing where to be in that space. Thats the real challenge for Jeffo and Roo

So basically just improve in every dept and he might come good ! Righty O

Has he.. thanks for that.

Nor dare I say .. you. There are two possible outcomes. The probability represents the likelihood of either. Unless both are equal it's not 50/50, its either or. Granted we don't actually know but my personal thinking is he's far more likely to go than to stay. And tbh I base that on another aspect that essentially has two options. He could say he's staying, or not say that.

@Ted Lasso said: Not to mention Judd would probably be in the top 10 of this draft if not the top 5, it’s a really good get for freo but I just can’t see them caring what’s fair. With good ol' ding long Bell watching over this you just 'know' we'll get overs 🙄🥴

Currently .. there's a kind of hush

Disagree ? I asked you if you thought the two posters were lying ? 48YN... ill happily accuse anyone of anything should I think it warranted. I'm just that way 😉

Im thinking it's possible that 🤔 there is a methodology in play here that some dont suspect. It plays out like this. Neither the Club nor Petracca blatantly come out and request/suggest a trade. What happens is their intermediaries ponder a hypothetical whereby trades are offered and or invited and how would all and sundry feel about such a thing ? This discussion about "hypotheticals" moves to locations , clubs all the whiles it's just a 'nothing' discussion as no one has formally asked/suggested anything. These ripples find there way to other club's people who are invited to join the discussions...about "nothing" The 🎪🤡🎪 officially hits town. Any number of 'empowered' representatives are hobnobbing and partaking of coffees and frothies just shooting the breeze..... Slowly ( and it's trade time...so it's glacial ) a few bits of a puzzle start falling into place. As this occurs different opportunities and options appear ( where nothing existed before... very important...all that "nothing" ) As some trades move from pencil to ink players who had not even realised they might be on the move suddenly find the ground beneath them move. Some players warm to the idea, some don't. Trees are shaken and things move. All but returning full circle to where some discussions started intermediaries of specific club's report back to clients/fd that lo and behold should Player X wish he might be invited to join Club Y or Club Z. Club M reports back if this or more specifically 'that' was offered then they might agree . And with no further ado player X informs Club M he would like a trade to Club Z. If the hypotheticals resulted in nothing... then nothing happened 😉

Well apparently he told two forum members that he HAD signed. Now I've absolutely no reason to either doubt the word of these posters nor believe they have any reason to lie . Do you ?

Exactly... tis a brand nu day A new season begins with a new coach, a new attitude and any number of new Dees to come. No point worrying about a naughty boy Welcome to work Steve 😉

I agree.... Scott is just a [censored]. Maynard is a THUG .. a daylight of distance.

Has Sally moved channels ?

Only works if that's an option ( in his thinking ) I think its more Mitchell's idea than anything Christian has in mind.. But hey 🤷‍♂️ We're all just guessing really

Schroedinger's dilemma 🤔 My take Redlegs suggestion whilst plausible is highly improbable. Im not thinking players managers play hide and seek so much. So in lieu of Schroedinger I opt for Occam. The simple reality that he fibbed to those he thought or felt he had to in order to progress his chosen path seems far more likely. We're not talking Gorky Park here.... just the G and environs.

So .... what's the haps !! What's gnus with you...

He's dudd to me ..... Only care really about this club.... not the other 17. He definitely dudded us.

Ahh... Ghosty... well done to face the "press" as it were. You did nothing more than pass on your info. Decent of you. Some might suggest it was naive to take 'that Dudd' at his word but why wouldn't you. No reason to doubt. Lost among the trees it would have been hard to make out the Forest... all those WA Redgums... We win some, lose some Keep punching !!

Ahhh.. do we know what he actually said to the club ? Again I suspect the club had a better idea about this than many suspect. Doubt anyone at the MFC has fallen off a chair in shock. More likely to be muttering and nodding heads He's not part of our next charge up the hill. If anything now part of the weeding 😉
