GWS at the G is not a great opener . Theyll be right into us re crowds and supporters not turning up from day one. Trac will love playing in front of 20,000 adoring fans again.

Pick 5 . Langford, Jagga , Lalor ( In order of availability) Pick 9. Bo Allan Pick 79. Suds McDuff or Derek Smalls

Gives us a really strong hand now, who would’ve thought we would go in the draft with two top 10 picks.

Who’s the straw man now? You are the archetypal Holier than though poster and not worth another thought.

Incorrect sir, no straw man here, my comments have complete relevance to the argument. Oliver's own mother refuted the claims . This a forum discussion not a published article. Well done to you for clever derogatory tone as well, very intelligent indeed.

Well wheres the quote? This is a supporter chat forum not the Age smarty pants.

I know there’s no law for publishing lies but there should be. Of course we have no grounds, but it sucks that they they can say whatever untruths they like with zero consequences Dazzle.

MCG, Kardinia park grounds.

I hope the club makes a complaint to the AFL and threatens to sue the Age for this rubbish , enough is enough.

How do these gutter journalists get away with saying things like it’s his dream to play with Geelong? When has he ever said that? How they continuously get away with making things up?

Lamby is obviously in a difficult position and is trying to answer truthfully. Its tough when the noise from Trac , Claz and The CEO has put the club in a weaker position and have basically shot themselves in the foot, because we now miss out on guys like Houston who would’ve been the Perfect Gus replacement.

What really concerns me as it does Max is the leaking of information. Whos doing it? Cant they do anything without the whole world knowing about it immediately? Why would people within the club want to hurt the club?

The bootstudder absolutely has to go

Football history is littered with star players touring opposition facilities or meeting with other clubs to sound out a possible move but then deciding to stay at their original club, and clubs often shop around players. It’s a business , but somehow everything we do is blown out of proportion by the hungry for blood media with all sorts of rumours leaving us with a lot of innuendo but no real truth.

Petracca scared off Houston , and Clarrys problems are of his own making

Everyone seems to be blaming Pert, and I’m not really a fan , but isn’t the cause of all this Clarry himself? He was warned and asked to change his ways a year ago , but apparently has transgressed again. Best on baller I’ve ever seen at Melbourne , and the whole thing is devastating, but what are we supposed to do??

These never ending dramas with our club are really bringing me down. Love for the game is truly being tested big time. I fear our membership numbers will take severe nose dive next season .

I’d rather trade Pert than Clarry Cooney is delusional by the way

I had a good chat with one of our assistant coaches a couple of months ago and he told me that Clayton had made his mind up to leave last year and wanted out for various reasons but mainly his injury management and also wasn’t in a good headspace which then turned into what happened this pre season. The club had to work really really hard to convince him to stay. Now this . The Cats have been trying to get him for two years now.

It’s up to Petracca, he’s the boss.

The Swans are a disgrace, two pathetic GF efforts in a 3 year period. Must be the culture up there.

Exactly, if he was simply going to play out the year hoping for a better offer the following season he probably wouldn’t be bothered doing things like going to see the girls play. Hopefully he is fully invested. We need to unite and be stronger as a club.

Trac is there at Casey watching the girls play today.

Cats know how to play finals footy, manic pressure, hard at the contest and super fast ball movement. Port have no idea, especially their forward entries.

Something to it, maybe but how much was fabricated we don’t know as there is a complete lack of evidence as to what was said. Didnt warrant the vitriolic witch hunt by the press
