Had a lot to do with Ben 15 years ago - not sure since then but always a ripping guy and excellent mentor. Good outcome I think; if nothing else players will respect him with what he’s done and who with.

Could he play CHB in VFL and be a backup tall back? His height would help vs a Harry McKay, King bros. Darcy etc in time. Still young enough to play 60-100 games by age 31-32.

I like this; Petty going back, BBB retired, Shack Attack delisted…..a void of tall forwards to play 20 games at Casey next year and possibly 2-3 at AFL. Gives us some depth and maturity. A strong Casey is important to a strong MFC - yes he will mostly play VFL. Fullarton a bust it seems. Although he and Johnson our tall forwards at Casey with Kentfield and Jeffo playing some AFL.

Good outcome

First goal Blues

I’m starting to feel positive overall for the first time in ages. Smith a huge get, for culture leadership and professional management. He’s already saying the right things. We’ve got another 3 years in our window, next 6 months super important- game on. well done to Brad Green; so good so far.

As well as dominating junior basketball and footy Murph was always the leading top few in cross country as a kid. He’s got some running power, but not sprinting - more like a Robert Harvey or Pendles type.

I was informed by my business partner (who lives in Geelong but follows Magpies) last Wednesday; via his good mate (who works for GFC) that we informed Clayton either day of or after the Brownlow that he should look for another club. He was surprised by this; and his manager started the ring around. Hadn’t said anything as was second hand; but it’s feeling more and more real by the hour.

Exactly how he controlled games in U13; 14; 15; 16 for South Melbourne. Could play like a NFL quarterback, score when needed, cover back when needed, win contests. Excellent decision making since Auskick.

Whisper at the G tonight he will coach West Coast

This puts us in the bottom 6 fixture group; coupled with pick 5 it gives us great scope to challenge again in 2025.

He’s a fabulous kid; good leader; in the Robert Harvey mould at junior level - rarely tackled. He was a regular 30-35 touches and 2-3 goals a game at U16 SMJFL.

So it should be; playing out in the media is killing us. Get it back in house.

What a disgrace Sydney are; time to sack Longmire!

Reid and Retchsko at school together. Get em both. Patty has been a state 100m runner so brings good speed. Murph is elite time and space, aka Robert Harvey, rarely tackled in under age footy. Gun.

I think thought was 12 was high for him. But he’s rising. Only meeting not done is Tigers and he’s a mad Tigers fan, but Yze watches every game of school footy as Noah in same team.

He’s met 17 clubs; been told by one if they have pick 12 they’ll take him. great kid, having a fabulous year, would be a great get for us. Elite “time” a bit Pendlebury like

4 points; great. Shocking last Qtr. but we beat them by more than Collingwood did!

Some nice clearance work from Fullerton, Kolt, White and Sestan

My Son played on him last year; he’s very good

He gave both Buddy and Curnow all time floggings in AFL finals; two of the best defensive games ever. So good, I never worry about an opposition forward; they rarely get us when May plays.

No change. cats very experienced led by Stewart down back; keep Petty in. Give him Roo and Turner another game together. McAdam vs Blues when he’s played a full game at VFL. Hore, McA, Fullerton emergencies Hunter to come but not yet. I’d like to see him and Melky plus Bowey plays games in second half season. Finals time I’d prefer them to Woey, Laurie etc

This is my oldest sons year and he plays SMJFL; played against Ashcroft and Trainor in final in 2023. Guns. Keep an eye on Murphy Reid at Dragons; love to get him.

Sestan, Melky and Hunter working hard at Gosches. Melky and Hunter look fine

He did; just before BBB gathered and baulked someone, broke a tackle and ran into an open goal. was expecting pigs to fly past on my way home.
