Ouch!

Aiden Johnson in for Turner (named at CHF), May in for McDonald (at FB). Melk likely the replacement for Spargo. TMac and Petty don't need to be anywhere near the forward line do they? The question is more whether Billings or TMac as the sub. Can't see Langford or Chandler being the sub.

I thought Graeme Wright was at Carlton? or is he just getting the gig handed over at the end of the year from Cook?

Article says that he hurt his ACL, PCL and MCL. Was the ACL the only rupture? or were all three done? Thats horrible luck for him, wish him the best. But I would prefer to wish that the AFL looks at addressing the hip drop tackles. NRL and NFL have banned it, if it's not a knee, it's an ankle or syndesmosis. That said, if you take it out of the game there are not a lot of ways for players to be bought to ground...

hes probably not able to play at wimbledon any more.... so can focus exclusively this time ;)

yep?

Watch how Tassie plays out, when the Devils come into the competition, a good chunk of people will switch allegiances who currently follow other teams in the AFL. Doesn't mean that these people will immediately stop liking the the clubs that they may have followed for all their lives. Many won't switch, but a good number will, but I dont' think anyone who does switch immediately dislikes their current allegiance.

and if you previously WERE a redhead, you could change yours to DeRanga'd ;)

I'm confused, does it though? If Brayshaw's payout means that we have the full TPP available for the rest of the players, it's not going to look better in coming years, it will just look normal again?

Great points. The club obviously identified Derkson as a role we needed filled. Likley that Aiden brings a similar set of skills and a mature body to fill a role. At 68 as the next option identified, it's a low risk that could pay off well. Are any of the people slagging off this pick saying that Marty Hore doesnt' deserve a place on our list too? 38-42 places on most lists. If we were unlucky enough to be hit hard by injury, you want players who can physically hold up. These selections help us both at Casey and for the senior team. Welcome to the club Aidan, grow the mo out to be a chopper and we're going places !!

We didn't match the bid. He was able to be taken by the Dees as an NGA pick.

May I suggest Backtraccing ;) I suspect it will work.

yeah.... I saw what you did there ;) how long have you been hanging on waiting to use clarrification huh? 🤔

I think that is potentially a figurative statement of him being in Shepparton.

Respectfully disagree. From what I gather, we are talking about 3AW and Matthew Lloyd potentially referring to a comment made by Sam McClure. There is nothing nuanced, figurative or creative at play here is there?

Maybe he got Matty Lloyd on Airtasker to do it for him 😁

Hit me up if you want me to spread a rumour that Clarry also has OCD, I'll add it to the one about Lloydy coaching us next year 👍

... wasn't he in Shepparton?

Breaking news! Matthew Lloyd has been seen in the changerooms of the MFC, soon to be announced as MFC new assistant coach.

hey... don't go to the US. They have aliens that eat cats, dogs and ducks. Oh, and their politicians control the weather FACT DUDE!

Something like "If the Dees tried to shut down the Clarry talk THEN "Me and Sam Mac ain't gonna let them!" Lets face it, thats more valuable than the rest of his bit. I have no idea if they have inside information or not. But that is EXACTLY what they are banking on. We don't know that they don't know either. Clarry might want to leave, he might not, who bloody knows on this forum. Only thing I *believe* we can be sure of is that Clarry's mum is mad that people think that his home town is Shepparton, and that he is currently there!

oh, sorry he's had media attention! 😲 damn, how could I have missed that part. Thanks, phew my life now will so much easier, I can just let the media tell me what is true! The rumour is floating around because people are bored, and the MFC is an easy target at the moment with the mess they are in. Petracca was 100% gone, before he wasn't, and my statement where I changed a couple of words is absolutely as accurate as your words were, it is not nonsense. It's just opinions!

sorry, back for another crack at this post. Can I just flip some of your words.... and in doing so they are still 100% as accurate as yours. Humour me. "At no point in time has Oliver actually come out and said that he is leaving. As it stands today, Oliver is a Dees player." Oliver does not have to say anything, and nor should he. Tim Lamb and Brad Green publicly have said he isn't going anywhere. Technically as it stands today, that is the ONLY definitive statement about Oliver that has been made. Should I believe them? not definitively, but I trust them more than Barrett, McClure and the others that are bored because nothing is happening.

.......OR!. No trades since day one and they have nothing else to talk about. Graeme Wright as CEO was the most exciting thing that happened on trade radio,.... not sure if Collingwood gets a future president in return.

Had to turn off a trade radio podcast about the Dees today, listening to Barrett talking about Melbourne.... it's almost like he's too slow and old to be a gutter journalist like McClure or Morris, but he's still just absolutely trashing everything about Melbourne. The only good part about the segment was that Bickley was actually a lot more measured, but I think I heard 2-3 minutes and realised the best piece of journalism outta Damo's mouth in the last year has probably been one of his 'recipes' that he talks about on the Sounding Board podcast. It's like everyone else including some of the [censored] have moved on, and his brain has only discovered it was newsworthy two weeks ago!

Rarely are donations provided with absolutely pure philanthropic intent behind them. It often has intent or purpose for how or what the money is used for. Perhaps even as innocent as having the ear of someone in influence. I don't know this person at all, however I've received e-mails and it probably is a smart thing to not have any strings attached whilst things play out.
