Norm Smith's Curse

I just get this feeling that the Dees realised Clarry was just a millimetre from more bad decisions and that time will show that this was the right call.

I heard dees worried he will go top 3 now thus may attempt to move up.

Fantastic summary.

Was excellent to see that Tracc and Bailey have been good friends since his draft year. Im sure he gave some glowing references: ‘We’re still close friends’: Why Petracca’s bond with Oliver remains strong

Named after a Victorian who came back from WA and got picked up by the Dees from obscurity in the rookie draft and repaid the faith by returning to WA after both sides ignored him previously.

Looking back the thing I hate the most was that I didnt really get to enjoy the 2021 premiership because - due to past PTSD - somehow the whole game I still expected us to somehow lose. haha. I wanted two so bad. To prove this was no flash in the pan. But alas.

I dont know who this bloke is but man that summed it up. In 2021 the world was our oyster yet somehow Im not surprised where we are at in 2025...

Yeah I actually heard this at one stage, that he wasnt just possibly wanting out of MFC but had even fallen out of love for the game. But that didnt gell with the Deebrief guys saying he shopped himself to the pies behind his then manager's back so who knows. I think its pretty clear his AFL career was stopping his genius cooking endeavors from flourishing.

No, we have our sights on a Lucas Cook

Is that the Poster for 'Brownlow Night 2: Going Awol up North'?

If you had told me in September 2021 that this would be on the cards I would have prayed at that time that it was not true, but now we see Jackson, ANB, Clarry and Tracc all in other colours. I wont feel compelled to pretend his recipes look impressive now that I somehow convinced myself that nice comments would make him a dee for life hahah.

When the dust settles people will realise this was years too late and could have been much worse. Great player, amazing inside work at his best, but alas.

Bailey to the Hawks in 2027. And... Good night.

How quickly people forget...

100% we should have gone ruthless and traded them last year for a speedy player like Caleb Serong but we kept on trying to make the relics of a 2021 team play like it's 2021.
