Very Jaded

Why’s that?

Absolute disaster for Geelong if true

We need to build a new locker room to fit that much ego

I didn't even realise finals started tonight. That's how little I care.

How about a straight swap for Membrey?

It’s been around for a good 12 months. If it was true it would have exploded by now. Let’s stop giving it airtime

This X account is running at a 1% strike rate It previously said that Bont wants out, Darcy won’t re-sign with Freo and various other utter garbage. According to their bio they’re an ex AFL player agent. Also I’m a unicorn 🙄

I went and read some of the tweets from this account. Safe to say we will be ok 😂

We backed ourselves to get him fit, which I always thought was strange when even Burgess couldn't do that at Adelaide. Ultimately at almost 30, it seems very unlikely that he will ever be able to get his body to a good enough position to play consistent AFL football. If he doesn't have a ripping pre-season, we can say that this trade was a complete bust.

I think their involvement came in the form of: "hey Trac, we tried but we can't get you to Pies or Blues, please stop this nonsense". They are obviously trying to stay as far away from this as possible, because it does not help their credentials one little bit to have lost control of one of their biggest stars.

Both can backflip and both can be told no trade will be done. As always, everyone has a price.

That Schulz deal was exceptionally bad. He was never worth a first rounder, nor is he what the Pies needed.

Exactly right I suggest we try and bundle this pick, as well as the other second rounder we have which is tied to Sydney (from the Grundy trade), and try to move down the draft order. There are a number of clubs who need points for bidding.

Hutchy has no friends, so of course he finds it unbelievable that we would want to show appreciation and support for a player who has given their all to this club and is leaving for personal legitimate reasons. I think what the media wants is for Nibbler to tell them his private family business. They would like to know what his wife's favourite colour is, what their baby had for breakfast, what his mother does for work, and how many times a week he waters his lawn. They can't stand the fact that they know he's leaving for personal reasons, but that they are not aware of the very intimate details of said reasons. They did the exact same thing with Finlayson, and boy oh boy did that fire back when they realised why he needed to move back to SA.

100% this

Need to wait until he's OOC. Freo won't trade him, or they'll want pick 5. Next year is the year, but of course I hope we are constantly in his ear about finishing what his brother started.

Why are you so against doing an external review? There are really no bad outcomes here. Either it finds we are well run, nothing to improve. Or it will find areas for improvement which we can act upon. No organisation is perfect. If we can bring an external point of view to find ways for us to get better, then isn't that a good thing? Only if you have something to hide, would you keep your doors closed.

100%, but unfortunately these media leeches will publish any sort of rubbish if it gets clicks. This is why we have to be better at controlling the narrative of what is out there for public consumption. I thought we handled the ANB situation quite well, especially considering it was leaked out. But because we've had 12+ months of bad publicity, it is now become open season on taking a steaming [censored] on the MFC.

Best outcome if PJ does the review. He’s far enough removed but also close enough to know our club. And he oversaw the biggest positive change in our club’s history. Bring him on!

It’s poor management of communication on our behalf. We need to be better at stopping leaks and controlling media narratives. It’s a major priority for mine if I’m running this club.

Could free up Kosi to play more midfield time, which is a win win Would definitely be interested if he's a good cultural fit

What I said about De Goey also applies to Stringer. If this scum ever steps foot at Melbourne I will burn my membership. One of the absolute worst people in football. Like seriously no.

Attention spans are getting smaller and smaller because we have to listen to Kane Cornes talk. My brain shuts off so quickly when I hear his voice

What was the point of this tidbit? Is Ralph suggesting that only indigenous players can offer each other support? 🙄

His real manager must have been thrilled 🫣
