This will be my only post on a thread which is mercifully reaching its end .I want to just say that I am still completely gutted that Clarry has gone .He was the best footballer I have seen at MFC .Robbie ,the second best ,was a gazelle and eminently watchable but not the match-winner Clarry was.This difference between the two is fairly reflected in their Bluey history..Would we have won that elusive flag or become a temporary power without Clayton ? No we wouldn't have ,simple as that.i know there are many accounts given as to why Clarry was jettisoned , some probably true ,most apocryphal. But we Have now lost a player who is irreplaceable .

a one paced midfielder in the twilight of his career . a decision born out of sheer desperation .

I hope Im wrong but I suspect that Brodie is pretty much cooked ,hence the Pies one year offer .We never seem tp learn.

Mm.,not sensing a groundswell of support for this one .

I dont believe posters fully appreciate how difficult it is to get a good player let alone a champion .Whatever we got in a trade would be less than Tracs worth to the team .We only have 3 A graders and that is about all that separates us from West Coast .We need keep them at all costs

Why are we even contemplating dealing with Collingwood ? ..They only give us the leftovers .Surely by now we have learned our lesson from Chris Dawes, Harry O Brien ,Ben Kennedy and whoever.Sure Henry Coles and Flash Gordon were good pick ups but that's hardly recent .

I suspect that the AFL compensation for Charlie will be somewhere between nil and zero.

Bet he does'nt.

none of those delisted can consider themselves unlucky .None are even close to AFL standard .A few more are blessed that they are still under contract .

The quickest I have seen is Scott Chisholm although he was an inveterate diagonal runner ,Sid Catlin and Neville Stone were both pretty sharp.

Lets do everything to keep Lever ,Trac ,Clarrie and May .Their absolute best might be behind them but they are indescribably superior to any possible replacement I watched last night .The chances of verrall ,brown,wowy kenterfield sestan tholstrup or adams making it are somewhere between nil and zero .Did JT even see Sestan play ? Looks more like a foreman at the steelworks than an AFL footballer .

Probably the loss was a blessing in disguise .Shows just how poor the bottom third of our list is .Tolstrup found the pace of vfl football too hot -slowest reaction time in the AFL.Fullerton embarrassing .Sestan doesnt even look like a footballer .Laurie and Culley worth persevering with but real depth issues going forward . est

Well he actually owes his entire career to us. He wasnt taken in the main pre-season draft in 2021 and was the last unaligned player taken in the Rookie Draft at pick 18 .The MFC threw him a lifeline and he probably otherwise would still be at Geraldton .We then gave him a full year to develop at Casey .The minimum we can expect in return is that ,even if he is leaving, he in the meantime at least tries. even if he is leavng that he actually still tries

At least I am no longer concerned if Mcphee leaves .

I will wait for Ghostwriters insiders report .Go Ghosty !
