I think this is a great get. Ready to go backup to max, let kyah and verrel develop at Casey.

They got what they wanted. Big crowds, filth and blues in finals, filth winning the cup.

Grundy was not Jackson. We pinned our hopes on making it so. Jackson checked out of his last dozen games so we have been off our preferred structure for 18 months. We need another ‘jackson’, or need to find another structure that’s works for us. If grundy stays, we need to understand who he is and what he can do, rather than what we want him to do. It would also mean Gawn needs to understand his capabilties and role as well.

So I buy a bag of chips and a coke this year, or I can have a Parma and a pot next year?

I wake this morning and feel like we missed a golden opportunity. Please lord, dont let the Pies get a flag.

Would we swap a couple of second rounders for Ports future 1st? They get currency to bring in their 3 targets, we cash in some of this year for next.

I hope we are up to something on a number of fronts: coaching replacements and switches - forward and midfield coaches, new ball movement plans. Some better ball users and elite talent (both new via draft and trading in). Ruck replacement for Grundy, if he goes as planned. KP players for FB, CHB, CHF. No rumours here, but if what the jungle drums are signalling (by no signal), I hope we are going to make a big splash this trade/draft period.

The earth is flat. the surface of the earth is 70% water. None of it is carbonated. Therefore the earth is flat. I’ll see myself out…

I am really annoyed that we dont have a game day thread. Our own fault, but not happy!

He was always #23 for us….

If you were doing the exit interviews, what would be a key message that you would want delivered to a particular player? Where would you want them to focus in the off season to improve? Verall: More Fitness and marking, getting to contests to be improved Jefferson: More muscle mass and hit more contests. Howes: More fitness and strength to challenge for a wing spot in 24 (etc) Then there are ones like “enjoy your retirement” to BBB, TMAc, Hibbo, Melk, etc, and ‘enjoy the Harbour views, Grundy” What messages would you give?

Ok, i thought they both left for more opportunities. Missed the bit where Hunt wanted to stay. Suggest he would have had very little game time anyway…

Reminder: Bedford wanted to leave, Hunt wanted to head to WC to get more opportunities. We all feel bad about the season, but lets not write history wrongly to suit a narrative point.

For having the ‘best’ midfield in the comp, I thought we were terrible in the middle. CB setups were entirely defensive almost the whole night and our ability to win the contest there and move forward was terrible. With the players available there, why do you all think we take such an approach? Is this a coaching issue, a skill issue or something else??

If not, death ride the pies!

Schache: splinters in piles

Dees fans need to make some noise! The umpires will give them a magic carpet ride if we don’t. I think we have this - by 22 points.

Forget all the bluster. If he wants to come I’m sure both sides will know what it takes…it isn’t petty….

What do we trade? Two pairs of Maxies used socks and a half sucked mintie? Third rounder at best i’d reckon.

If we have to win it for Gus, then we are stuffed. Wrong emotional tone. If we get in front and apply pressure, I suspect Carlton will fold. The season will still be a success for them. For us, anything other than a win is a fail. Speed on the bal fron the start, high pressure going both ways. Then it is our to lose

What is Perts email?

Was Maynard wanting to date Angus, appearing with wine, flowers and chocolates? I imagine that’s how the Dog ‘Bruzz’ gets most of his action, by knocking them out first. Stay strong Gus. You got this.

As much as I love my Demons, and will continue my 25 year premium membership, this decision really tests me. Can i be a party to a gladiatorial event where young men are severely injured with no repercussion? My TV eyeballs and my gate fees (let alone my beer money ) should not be voting for or condoning this behaviour. Gleeson’s direction of the jury was inappropriate and should be the basis of an appeal. I hope Maynard never gets a premiership medallion, if its not us, then go Lions!

If it was an on field report, it should be the umpire giving his views on what happened. i also haven’t seen the words ‘football action’ related to any classification. It was either reckless or intentional (take your pick), high contact, severe impact. That should be 3-4 to 6-8 weeks. then, consider his words before the game about how he intended to play. this prize low life should get rubbed out for a while. Right, Bruz?

Anyone have any news on the scratch match where hopefuls were getting a run, against the Blues?
