Dee*ceiving

Thanks, pleased I've impressed you

Nathan saying it's necessary is about as close as the players are saying it's necessary as you can get

Because I heard her speak and sadly Kate couldn't inspire me to cross the street to pick up a $50 note stuck in chain link fence

I largely agree Dino the board is there to steer and not drive day to day, but when speaking, the President (or any board member for that matter), should be well across the issues(s) of which they are speaking about. And, they should be able to inspire confidence in that organisation's ability to manage/resolve that issue.

Those sides look painfully slow in my view. We really need AMW and Tholstrup playing at a level that holds a spot because we need the pace, even more so with no ANB and Pickett missing the first 3 games. or, we need to draft/trade in some speed, & kicking skills. This next 6 don't offer any pace either, unless Jeffo has some toe for a big fella "Possibles: Pick 6, Melksham, Jefferson, Billings, Spargo, McAdam, Fullarton"

Did old mate sub Christian with Lever and May?

Good suggestion, would love to know what that entailed. Will never happen

Outrageous. How lowering a shoulder when airborne and collinding with an opponents head only makes sense when it get's a Collingwood player off suspension during a finals campaign. I'd also love to know how a knee to the back at full force in an attempt to spoil is a football act. Moor did this twice in a month. Tracc then Jarrad Witts left with two cracked verterbrae. Nary a word spoken. Corrupt! Don't know but I'd have thought that would have elapsed by now. Must appeal IMV

Filthy we didn't appeal the Kozzie suspension. We should have defended to the last inch.

Maybe someone else can Step up and help him out? Do they need the title to do that. Of there's things he's not good at, give him some f'n help

I think deestars point was every club has had cultural/behavioural issues irrespective of who the captain was. There was stuff at Richmond too under cotchin

Gus may have been a good option. Probably the only realistic one in a world where we have the current version of Tracc...but alas In Max I Trust

Agree worth discussion RP. Your theory could hold water. It could also be that Max is the main reason things aren't/haven't been worse

Max is highly intelligent, rare for footy players. He also has really high emotional intelligence. He'll know when it's time for a change and he won't be just thinking about what's best for him. It will be what's best for the club. And when the change does come, he'll be able to articulate very clearly the reasons for it.

Agree. The man is a collosus

Just when demonland thinks it knows the answers, Tracc changes the questions...

Agree but even if he was open to going there. Why would they want to spend $1m+ on him right now. Injured, petulant, distracting and 29

If he's a free agent would the free agent compensation regime not apply? I thought we have two types of free agent, restricted and unrestricted. I'm not clear on the qualifying rules, just my simple understanding...

Richmond have the capital but I can't see why they would want him. He doesn't seem to be the leader they need, more likely a distraction for a club trying to bring a bunch of kids through together

If the narrative becomes he's not the player he was previously so we take unders we must not cede. We get what market price or he stays or he can retire. Question, if both parties agree to rescind the contract does he becomes a free agent?

I think you're onto it Deecat. If the blues get bundled out they will come sniffing. McKay could be considered surplus with them having Curnow & TDK. TDK would be seen as the younger, faster coverall, don't think they'll let him go. It will be a gamble for them but it could be a great outcome for us. McKay and their first rounder for Tracc... or even better. McKay, Walsh and their first rounder for Trac and our 2025 first. Off we go!

Love Max. God knows where we'd be without him. Certainly no flag in 2021 and the situaton we have now would have happened years ago and probably been much worse. Suspect he is probably the main reason it's taken till now for it to really bubble over.

Classic! 😄

Take your point LH. I am worried about whether Kate has or hasn't done enough but am reassured by those comments from Trac 2 months ago...BUT her about her inablility to convince me she has/is doing enough is a major worry. That's the message we needed in the media to protect the brand of MFC. She didn't/couldn't do that which poured petrol on the fire.

Yep I reckon you're right. By Monday they'll want the attention on the games ahead. For now this is good enough to keep rugby off the main pages
