    I sit in N53 and get annoyed at all the opposition supporters that fill our area as well but if our own supporters bothered to turn up there’s be no empty seats for them to sit in. 

    Scarily close to me, Rab.

    I wonder if there is any chance the club may consider trading next years first rounder into this year to have another pick in the first round? Probably depends a little bit on what we would require to draft Kalani White next year I presume. 

    Would be nice, but given the strength of this year's midfield, it's hard to see clubs giving up those picks unless it's for overs

    In short, every club may try, but every club is onto it.

    However May had a hamstring tear so could and should have come off the ground once we were well in front 

    True, but no way would May have gone off. Harmes offered but was not allowed. Was a selfless act by Harmsey.

    A month ago this guy expressed frustration and eye rolled at questions about leaving, saying he was absolutely staying at WCE. Geez, would be nice of players to not blatantly lie about these things more often

    I don't understand this young generation and home sickness.  Home sickness isn't uncommon, but usually it goes away after 6 or so months once you settle, he has been here long enough to have gotten over it by now.

    I don't think it is the kids fault, just a fact that modern young generations are coddled well into their teens and adulthood that they simply cannot cope without their parents.  It doesn't prepare them for life, all it does is reinforces their dependency.

    I know heaps of Americans or English who move to the other side of those countries for work or study and just pick up a new life. Its common and almost expected at 18 years of age. A generalisation I know, but Australians seems more fixed to where they were raised, especially if family still remain there. It's an interesting aspect if Australian society.

    well when people imply he has no local family support I'll keep correcting them

    not saying 1 family member is always adequate but it's a huge difference to none and sisters are prettyclose

    additionally i'm sure other teammates families can assist from time to time. we also have club welfare officers

    so it is not necessarily as bleak as some would say

    Maybe the sister doesn't want to stay in Vic either? Don't know.

    It can turn quickly, this is the sort of injection we need this off season. 

    And now they are getting Battle for free and will get Barrass from WCE

    Hawks will be scary good before we know it

    Disappointed to lose Nibbler, he was a good servant of the club amd I wish him well in the future. However Tim Lamb’s job is to get the best deal for Melbourne. If that deal is with the Power then so be it. We are under no obligation to get him to the Crows. 

    Well we are if Port aren't really interested, but I don't know that

    Would you take pick 11, 31 and future 1st for Petracca?  

    Cameron was 13,15,20 but there was 2 second rounders coming back so it's around the same value.    

    I reckon that's the best we can conceivably get. 

    Alternatively, we can hold him to his contract and watch him run around half rat pace for a year.  If the guy doesn't want to play, he doesn't want to play.  Good luck with that. 

     

    Did Cameron have 5 years left on his contract at around $1.7m pa?

    No hyperbole in saying Trac almost lost his life. One solid tackle after he went back on could have been fatal.

    No hyperbole in saying he and his family experienced severe trauma. Anyone who has experience of extreme trauma would know that to say they have "recovered quickly" is nonsense.

    You are neither his treating doctor nor a member of his family, therefore your comments are emotional hyperbole
