Jaded No More

Hahaha Sicily hitting the post

This was what you said in response to @Adam The God post which pretty much said the same thing I said about the reason Houston is not coming to Melbourne Maybe I misunderstood your point, my apologies if I did.

Well if wants to go to Sydney I reckon they have plenty of players we would be keen on. Unfortunately they won’t have the draft capital, so I still can’t see a deal being done. But will happily take Gulden off their hands 😂

Well you seem to think it’s complete guesswork that Houston isn’t coming to Melbourne because Melbourne won’t part ways with their first pick for him anymore, given what that pick is now (compared to what it was mid season when we started talking to Houston and Port). All I’m saying is that I think that’s a large reason for the change in plans, rather than Houston being put off by anything else going on at Melbourne. The clubs he’s in discussion with now all have a good first round pick which they are obviously willing to part ways with for him. I don’t think that’s a coincidence. St Kilda is no more a lucrative destination than Melbourne.

Can’t see him moving interstate and away from his family. Also how can Sydney fit him into their cap?

Because it sounds like you think the club would. I reckon they share your view that he’s not worth that much, and they can’t see another avenue to get him across.

Given Carlton are chasing Houston, I’m unsure how Trac gets traded. Pies won’t find a satisfactory trade and Blues clearly have other priorities. Doesn’t mean Trac won’t keep trying.

Would you trade pick 5 for Houston?

I can’t wait for all the negative dooms and gloomers to apologize for saying this will never happen. Nor can I wait for them to complain about the location.

All picks being on the table, and all picks being traded for all players is not the same thing.

We want to take pick 5 to the draft. When we started the conversation with Houston our first pick was somewhere in the high teens. Connect the dots.

I don't think he brings anything different to the table, but to be fair at pick 43ish he's excellent depth and injury cover, and we desperately need more midfield depth. The problem is, he doesn't want to be a depth player, and so he will go somewhere where he can get a regular gig, which is fair enough.

How do you know this is not just Port and Houston's management having a sook because we pulled our initial first round pick offer? Carlton don't want to take pick 11 for him, but we are expected to trade pick 5? He may well still want to come to us, but Port may have cracked it and said its pick 5 or we won't trade.

Honestly he can do what he likes. Legend of the game and gave Richmond 3 flags.

When you’re coming off no base, a while. He might not make it, but if the club has seen improvements, which you presume they have, then that’s a good sign. He surely knows he has to show something in 2025 or it’s the end of the road.

Can confirm. Would not touch with a ten foot pole.

He was his coach for the first season of his career. Was also there for the sexting scandal, not to mention captain during the rat pack years, and of course the racism saga

0 times premiership coach who oversaw the triumphant behaviour of the likes of De Goey and Ginnivan Nathan Buckley?

But but but the KULTCHA! This thread is giving Trump rally vibes

And once again watch our club do nothing, say nothing, and let this narrative that we are in turmoil continue to be played out publicly. Whoever the [censored] is responsible for our comms needs to take a long walk off a short pier. Absolutely woeful.

McVee needs to be promoted to the senior list. He's still a rookie if you can believe it.

The ONLY justification for Green meeting Gutnick, was if it was under the premise of donating money towards the new training facilities. Otherwise there is no reason in the world he should have caught up with him, and given he's now run to the media to dish the dirt, it's time to block his number.

FFS another day of negative headlines for the MFC.

Maybe he’s trying to get him to donate to the new training ground… 😂

Yeah it sounds more about changing the process going forward. If it makes the AFL more proactive with injury management then great. Frankly I’m all for it, and same goes for having medical imaging available at the ground.
