I can see things going officially quiet for a few weeks now. Perhaps some media "exclusives" ( straight from their imagination) . Now comes the "dance" ..folk stick their left legs in, left legs out, shake it all about... go away, have a think. Today something hot is tomorrow's cool... Where there's no news the void will be "filled" I very much doubt anyone will over commit their position. If anyone has dealt with court run mediations .... this will appear similar iI think. Not a lot to be seen, but a lot happening behind closed doors. Fun and games

Would Bruce want to be at a club with a Guerra ?? A friend was just wondering 🤔 🙄 ...

It's a fair comment but it still has to be said with a view to even more compromised drafts looming we really have to get a lot of things right, and setup over the next few years. One hell of a balancing act for the recruitment and list management. 26 may be better than 25 but we can only play the cards we have. Good luck us.... we'll need it.

I think you missed my point. It's the timing. The legitimacy of the narrative is not the contention. Why now all of sudden ?? Much of what anyone could find bad about the Dees has been around for a while. Elements that are better are more recent. There appears a deliberate 'stack on' . All a bit suss to me.

How curious.. All this sudden vitriol towards the Dees. Who's choreographing this 💩🌪 I wonder

It's a relatively cheapish experiment. We've let others slip through our fingers. If he's not really costing a list option... 🤔🤷‍♂️👍

Was he right ?

St Patrick's College 😉

Actually agree. Needs to and can do much better. Seems to pick and choose. Quite possibly he won't be alone in being assessed as keep or trade. We need to do a bit of a Hawthorn dare I say and that will undoubtedly make some unhappy.

Yes, she can be very much the media opportunist. She's deftly crafted at weaving 'gossip' with 'mail' and blending in her own cocktail of hemlock and belladonna. The matriarch of media-football isn't the exulted one she once was.

an even longer track record of playing for 'Caro' 😉

Come the lifting of the cup and mad Mondays we all know what comes to town next. Tbt advance agents are already setting up their tents. With some ginormous offers pending and a few clubs announcing their intention to really get in amongst it I can see the possibility of one of two things playing out for us. Either trading gets blown out of the water and we're left flailing or.. and this is where it might get very lucrative....or... in the eagerness of some clubs to get 'their men' other players become collateral discards. Also, maybe the opportunity to do some clever wheeler dealing of picks. We certainly need that. If we're only after a couple then we might just be able to crib a few our way whilst all the excitement is elsewhere. I don't quite share Roos' ultra enthusiasm for our list. Yes there are more than a dozen premiership players but that was then and this is now. I think it needs work. Just how down and dirty are we prepared to dig ? Hell , don't need much.... just a kpf , a kpb and two skilled mids.. I mean... ought to be like shopping at Woolies eh.. Need to get this coach and fd sorted pronto

I wonder what the chances are that this 'search' might go a little longer than some suspect 🤔 Outwardly it appears almost there. Internally, I'm not thinking so. Whilst we'd want it wrapped up as early as possible I just have a sneaky suspicion there's a turn and twist or two yet to play out. Those thinking around the week of the prelim might be on the money. Going to be interesting, well already is. 🤞👍😉

Caro's definitely pushing a barrow... for why and to where ??? 🤷‍♂️ We know the what .... 💩

Any interesting 'tree' people ?? 🤔

Did he look you in the eye ??

Well... it might be both. We had no idea Carlton would do a very un-carlton-like thing and retain Voss.. and we needed some 'clean air' to progress our own requirements.

Thankyou Bob. A well reasoned standpoint. Some seem upset that the club isn't playing by 'their' rulebook. Scandalous I say. Get the whips and stockblocks ready !! This is about, and only about , taking the club from A to B. Who honestly gives a flying fig about sating the media or disgruntled fans jumping up and down. The Process..... the process need only be whatever it takes to get a successful outcome. That might be X, it might be Y . The process might also more than likely change on the fly as ppl/ outcomes/interests develop. I would like a decent new coach for 26 and whatever. I would like to see a new look FD. I would like to see us play successful footy . I would really like to attend a winning Big Dance at OUR rightful home before I topple off. I really couldn't be much bothered caring about things that in the end just don't matter. There are no hard and fast rules to this 'process' . Just outcomes. Id like a good one. Not fussed how we get it. In reality it's irrelevant.

Agenda setters ??? Appropriate 😉

Caro🙄 .. muck raking.... 🤔 not like her .....

Limited to those ? ( just wondering)

Possibly a Richards too

The prelim is on the 20th Sep. Id think a lot could be done before then

Oh I'm sorry... thought I was talking with someone who knew something of footy. Played ?? Been coached? If yes you may recall how that goes. If you don't think they might have been given a different talk than Goody, given a brief that just might have suggested they look to do one thing more than others... to focus on some aspect they weren't ... well I could go on. But perhaps you never been on the other side of a coach's address . I don't really care. A lot of ppl saw us play a bit different. You not so much maybe. Back to your stats ... that's where it's at eh 😉

New coach, new impetus.... yes can certainly happen.
