Someone's figured it out 👏👏👏

A year of learnings waits ahead

☝️😉

Yes indeed. The 🎪 🤡 🎪 is in town and the rehearsing is done... let the games, I mean show begin....

I dunno I dunno Jokes aside im not sure this is so much about DH'ness as professionalism and attitude to roles. Im guessing i admit.

Im very much caught between roads of thought about #13 I do wish him well but I think as the old adage goes about square pegs and round holes he now finds himself outside of the parameters King is setting for us. He might not be gone ...but he might be going. Bitter-sweet. As Mr Smith once suggested.."I'm a Melbourne man" Im just hoping for what's best for us. Certainly adds context to getting King hit

because he's already there

It's a better setup than we've got ... and it would be interim.

It could.. He might... But Dr Sigmund suggests otherwise 🤔🤔🤔

This is fun.. eh ..

Is it 🤷‍♂️

Didn't quite catch Toby on the boat... must have gone below for some beers 🍻 🤷

Or a clairvoyant one ...

Playing Devil's he may not have said he wouldn't come to the Dees but PREFERS the Aints. I do tend to agree its all over bar the shouting but no harm waiting for that ( the shouting lol )

Monday the litmus, as you suggested.

My gleanings from what's available is he had/has a holiday planned in the States. He was leaving via Sydney. Im going to go out on a limb and suggest that had that meeting not occurred ( King ) then Clarry would have simply transited via Kingsford Smith or got a burger somewhere... who knows. But he did meet with King and he did meet with the Giants. I'm unsure how those two things can't be connected. Just me I guess 🤷

His reaction was to go on a cruise with a select few. It's an interesting reaction wouldn't you say Ghosty ? 🤔🤷‍♂️

A lot will depend on the make-up of our list going into 26.

Just asking for a friend.... Are we shopping for Casey too ??

No...was laughing with you not at. I , like you am not particularly good at such contrivances as are picks and all that jazz. I reckon you've made a good case... but I'm not a qualified to judge. My observations over years is very little of this goes to anyone's plans. Red alluded to something elsewhere.. it has all to do with perceived value, particular needs , the machinations of a closed market and priorities as understood by the involved teams. Id be quite happy with your scenario

Irony much

Always. Literally just follow the $$$$

I'll preface this with the notion I've always enjoyed seeing Clarry play. He's exciting, inventive, a bit of a larrikin and I think has loved his time in the Red and Blue. Bit of a ratbag but a genuine champion of the game and our club. But.... Actions often speak loudest and I am bitterly disappointed that when presented with a new vision, a new challenge, one that doesn't appear to have aligned with his view he spits his chips ??? I have no real idea of what went on or was said in that meeting with King but it strikes me as very odd that he can find himself quite happily taking a 3 hour crew with Giants Skipper , Gilligan et al at all but 5 mins notice. The lad is entitled to his life as are any but I truly find this reaction , well, curious. Im inclined to two takeaways. It is clearly evident Goodwin mollycoddled his list. That worked for a while and then magnificently didn't. King has NO intention of going down this path. Thank God for that. Conversely a lot of our list were used to inordinate amount of hand holding and pandering to 'their wants' .. Even Max is not exempt as Brodie says hi . This it seems is not how things are to go going forward and this has not apparently sat well with some of the 'precious' ones. I'll be disappointed not to see that ginger mop wearing 13 carving up the game ( for is ) but I'm far more disappointed he cracked the sads . Tbh that leaves a sour taste...

Ought to be part of plan A ... Caulfield, I wouldn’t think , to be available for 3/4 years. So in the meantime why not utilise Waverley??
