Norm Smith's Curse

It's the same BBQ!!!

Not only the media, suddenly some relatively new posters seem very happy to drive into the lottery and wait for two years minimum.

Get over yourself mate and go waste someone else's time arguing about pointless issues. I said people who are pushing the picks for Tracc want the club to bottom out because that is EXACTLY what will happen if we lose half our midfield and its that simple. The rest is hyperbole and delusion from your part which would be solved with reading comprehension. But now that you have claimed that was my argument, there are plenty Toumpas, Lucas Cooks and Cale Mortons in every draft and even a Langford takes two years before blossuming. Im glad you have time to wait, the club already got 10,000 less memberships in 2025.

This trade isnt really about measuring his worth, its apparently or supposed to be about GC making an offer that would make it worthwhile for us to break his contract. Picks with no Clarry and Tracc means bottoming out hard for mine.

Might work if we accept picks for Trac we are gonna need some bigger bodies to shield the kids

Any word on Sparrow - was whispers at one stage of him being packaged to a SA team. Seems that wont happen now.

Plenty who want the club to hit rock bottom again id wager.

Yeah some of the stories never made it public somehow.

True but the Pies clearly wanted to move Grundy on, Tracc has pushed this trade.

The thing that will be done with that deal is our club and memberships in the next two years

If MFC are moving from the starting point of half the posters here of 'Tracc wont be at the Dees in 2026' then why would the Suns think they cant get away with any old deal? The threat of us comfortably holding Tracc to his contract is literally all we have in this negotiation.

I thought the same. You dont go into negotiations making it obvious you will back down to a lesser offer.

He was already down to visit family.

Apparently the manager thought it hampered any efforts to get him to Victoria because GC were unaware of it which could have blown back. And thought it seemed like a stunt to appease restless supporters.

Everyone bagging Oliver's kicking yet 2024 Queens Birthday he was the mid that kicked to marks for our first three goals. Lol.

I meant more in a Jake Lever kind of way - awareness of continued interest.

No worries. I was told this from a Carlton person who knows some managers - the vibe being that any potential meeting would have to be much more cloke and dagger. Manager was annoyed they were so obvious.

Also heard that Humphrey and others were spoken to at length by us during 2022 draft so he knows a bit about us already.

Heard that any meeting being held today would be Skype/meetings online.

Ultimately we just don't even need to do those trade unless we win from it so if we bend over I'll spew

Is there a Revolver up there?

We need to get Roosey involved - he will whisper sweet nothings in his ear

Grand New Flag sent me this cryptic update - its pretty clear what is happening: When the wind blows with Buckley's chance A new dawn rises upon a frosty Caulfield glade Then the marchers on the tracc to Casey Fall off with Humphrey's King Crown.
