Surely it is only the uninformed posters here who were not aware of these provisions etc that made or makes him unavailable as some priority selection. Those in management MUST have been aware of these rules. And any likely hood of changes . If not they are not doing their job.

When I was 18 . The football media were often in the room leading the dance. Or making up the stories in the far corner.

Just this

Age, experience, mature game fit body, all good no that’s great in a backup but would he be interested have we asked the question and it would be via the draft. Others might need him as well

Don't forget the full time, paid for Driver of the said Bentley

Long time ago But a shock at the time 10/- embassy vacuum flasks. Quality with plastic stoppers . Value but I think I preferred Linda electric blankets and never smoked Craven A. favourite of an aunt though. amazing bend a bit on both sides. Things will not always break. NS might have been hard to work with and to live up to. But he had the success that was the result of his ethics.

Messi only plays Each game in 30 second bursts, his opponents on the other hand play 110% concentration for the whole game. And he still either kicks a goal or sets up the goal . but the point is to manage the players workload and still get the points over “weaker” clubs. Are there any ?

In Europe. The different football clubs play far more games in the season than we do They manage their players games throughout the different levels of competition . None play every game. we need to do some thing similar. we have failed to peak at the right times and “not turned up to play” on other occasions. Big danger of wasting a serious good list of players. Bring on 2025. ( loud sigh) !

Agree pretty well. But the players need to enjoy their work and workplace hawks players certainly seemed to enjoy their football. We need that as well

Ecstatic that essendscum and coliwobbles are missing Enough said

Ok just when the Dee’s were off the media ****sheet. Some assss whole wants to put us back. Give me a break

Yes a very funny man. Similar to the Scott brothers

I think it was that terrible finals game against the wet toast, where we scored 1 ?goal to half time and they did not review the game. all we got was learnings. it seemed to me, all that was out of an MBA textbook, and little understanding of what was required in keeping the supporter base engaged. Nothing has been learnt . the way this saga was handled, on both sides, smells the same. And the media rubbish from past footballers and journos piling on top of the Dee’s. no counter arguments or comments from our management. Appalling. Bring on 2025

I was getting used to some devastating sledge from a journo about our kulture and that player x wanted out. I expected this to be true and was waiting for this every 3 days. and now CP5 is still here only AnB off with his family for (hopefully) a highly paid last couple of playing years. Back to looking at recruits in September. a bit like old underpants or old socks. comfortable but smelly. Think I should be doing something else.

Some one. Of a whole group definitely took their eyes off the ball. Need a media manager and player welfare person to look after these things. i have stopped being concerned. There is only one way Tracca will be worth anything to other clubs late next year. And that obviously is for the MFC and Trac in particular to have such a fantastic year and we are top 4 looking at the flag and CP5 is favoured for the Brownlow. If that’s the case he has put his time in , let him go. But his salary will still be sn impediment.

And been with the Demons for about 10 years. He has put in the time, whatever his reasons, if he wants to go, then he should be given that right. In his prime st this stage of his career, keeps getting better. good luck to him

After the first loss to Fremantle, I cancelled the auto renewal. And suggested I was a little bit aggrieved. I will renew but later. It’s more a donation as I rarely get to see games live. Sometimes 1 , sometimes 4 for the year. Glad things are more stable st the moment, no MFC news sometimes is good news,

There are a lot of learnings to be had from both sides. Perhaps 3 sides. club admin. Coaching and players. And tracca and his advisers. all this should not have been allowed to play out publicly and not in the media. Make a statement through effort and commitment during preseason. Perhaps indulge some media person to help WCW and get a melb perspective. a lot of errors on both sides. Only really caused problems to us the supporters. but trashed all the brand. i will watch from afar.

I don’t know that el Lawrence is just wanting an Arab uprising OR to reduce the MFC to rubble but I am not happy that turmoil has been allowed to fester. And individual players are more important than the whole side. it should not have happened but once happened it should have been contained. the people in charge should have taken ownership of the mess and contained it. i was also dissatisfied that Goodness gave Daicos three Brownlow votes, that should not have happened either. ostich mentality. Fix it .

Can I change my vote ? getting very disillusioned

So. Gus , j Smith, bbb, these two, only need a couple more and it will be 30%

Do you have to peel the coriander?

Can we get a 300 game, 3x Norm Smith medalist. sorry

Disappointing to miss the finals but this was a very even year. we only had the two(?) really bad games. Why. NFI. Something was wrong. And how many by less than 10 or so points. And we started with two less top 22 players. So with the football gods with us in 2025. And some better team management. Look forward. Go Dee’s

Ashcroft never in our list, so the numbers of players to choose from remains 5
