Well, not really. I put my money where my mouth is, by purchasing family memberships for both men's and women's programs. Of course, I'm happy to do so, but will also call out when the same old rhetoric gets trotted out. -
Yep - heard it all before. Talk is cheap.

It’ll come - those kids were starting their footy watching during the Neeld era 🤮

3 x tickets for me and 2 of my kiddoes - $10 the lot. Get around it Dees fans!

This doesn’t work for us, if we want to pick up Reid, though?
-
Yes - our recruiting/trading strategy is getting the best picks players in the current draft and letting the next year wait until next year. Obviously, the exception is when a player (ie Jackson) is traded out and we have to negotiate future picks, but generally we very much look at the present.

From what I have observed over the past two seasons, our team seems to be playing under a heavy burden: there’s not a lot of ‘lightness’ around the place. I wonder if the culture agenda has been over-thought at the expense of players simply enjoying footy under a good system, as in 2021. I don’t hold out great hope for 2024 - I think the Clarry situation will not easily be resolved, in terms of him being back to his previous best. I know we’re not supposed to mention the war, but I think what’s needed for 2024 is a united team, playing with a bit of freedom.

I honestly tear up each time I watch that. That was maybe the best goal I’ve witnessed in terms of the absolute limbs when he put it through. It was symbolic on so many levels: his Queen’s Birthday retribution (was it his last one?) and he cast off the massive weight on his shoulders - you could tell by the look on his face: part sheer exhaustion and part walking on air.

Anyone who works in the care and teaching areas can make a huge positive difference to a child’s life. If you can inspire change and positivity in just one person, you have done your job.

Yes - that’s what I understood as well. Less homesickness, but more wanting to see his family more regularly. If they are from country SA, 5 hrs out of Adelaide, then it would be difficult to get to games. I’m sure the club will now organise for his family to come over more, which is great for everyone.

Sounds like the sort of thing someone says, that gets quoted back to them after Jake and Harry carve up every defence in the comp. Providing they can stay fit, I think they could be a fantastic combination: both young, aggressive players who like a tackle, can mark and kick well.

Why not? If he smashes it next year and signs, say, a two year extension to his current contract, his draft worth will be through the roof. I see what Cornes is saying, but his argument is flawed - especially when he suggests going after Gunston, as a replacement. Makes no sense - Petty is an emerging talent, Gunston is in the last year or two of his career and dropped himself last season due to poor form.
-
That's now next year, apparently 😝
-
They obviously don’t rate Petty that much.

Incredible insight from Tom: Petty hasn’t put a trade request in, although he did once go to school in Adelaide and his sister lives there. Although, he hasn’t put a trade request in, the Crows will still be interested, just in case the Demons do a complete 180 on a player they are basing their forward line around, next year. Amazing, Tom.

Looking forward to seeing a photo of our Podcast Posse, decked out in their Sunday best! Any chance of a Roving Andy segment?

Goes to show that there is no accountability in AFL “journalism” - absolute hackery and bulldust, where the instigators are never called out on their made up stories.
-
Well, McQualter has just left Richmond to go to another club…
