Spargo played some wing in 2022-2023 to good effect IMO.

Definitely trade the future first for mine.

What is this based on? The business case is to come. There should be multiple co-financing avenues with the multiple racing clubs, MCC, state, federal and even local govs, the AFL and our own cash injections, but this is a commercial team that struggled to get a short's sponsor for a team that had finished top 4 three years in a row and won a flag. As for MFCSS, it's actually just a lack of trust now sullied over multiple years by the administration, nothing to do with the football side of things. At least not for me.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that is super deflated by this. I don't trust their economic nous either to bring the financing puzzle together.

If we went with Owies, we could play Spargo on the non Langdon wing and play Windsor between half back and midfield.

This is like @WERRIDEEs post in the other thread RE Goody. He kicks goals. They're handy in football.

I'm not convinced Hunter has a year left. And I'd be staggered if he's on the list next year.

He might be worth a spot, but I'd rather treat TMac as the back up or the guy who starts 2025 in the best 23 and look to push someone like a Riak Andrew through there by the end of the year.

I don't think he is. Could be wrong though.

Nah, I just needed to change my name after Steve dubbed me Binman's PA. It was my wife's suggestion. 🤣

It's pretty incontrovertible that the off field has gone down hill since 2019. Within just over a year, the president was replaced, now we've had another president replaced, and for the last 12 months, we've been leaking like a sieve. That culture is set from the executive. Under PJ we did not leak. I think you'll find there's been a significant commercial drop off this year too, which is partly a result of on field, but also a lack of commercial nous from those at the top. We didn't get a shorts sponsor for ages...

🤣 Yeah, that fact rather undermines the let's sack Goody crew.

Yep, hope we go for Riak with a later pick.

We sniffed around Merrett a few years ago. If he was at all gettable, why wouldn't we do the same to Merrett now?

Where is Owies going? He'd be handy.

As @Nascent says, they can't tell him to explore his options and then demand a particularly high price.

Was it in pre season then? Didn't he kick 4 goals against us?

He killed us in (was it?) 2020 in an empty Marvel stadium.

I've never had Lamb in the gun, although I will revert to those within the FD that might know better. I wouldn't mind pursuing Wright as head of footy or CEO, but sounds like he's already locked and loaded at Tassie.

Taking the P or real? And why after trade period? And can you please include a riddle with your post.

Or just take them both late in the ND.

It also depends what is available and willing to move on the market...

Ironically, things have gone downhill since the AFL handed back the reigns...

Looks like he could eventually go through the midfield to me.

I'd love 4 or 5 picks in the top 40 this year. Guys like Jack Whitlock who may slide or his brother. Hannaford to add to Kozzy, Spargo and Chandler. Lalor or Langford to Oliver, Viney and Petracca. Hynes too.
