Norm Smith's Curse

What do these all have in common: "I can tell you that Harley Reid will not be being drafted by the West Coast Eagles.' 'If you dont have Carlton as your premiership favourite in 2024 you dont know footy.' I would have a better strike rate with random spin-will trade stories.

Are you kidding? Literally NOTHING he claimed has been verified by Tracc, his manager or family members. People keep getting secondary sources whispers and what they want to believe is accurate with actual demonstrable facts.

Wc forward ok but midfield speed also would be nice.

Ive cooled on delisted players. cant remember a good example of one in recent times that has come back and established themselves at another team. Please correct me if im wrong as i got no sleep.

The history is simple. Our drafting (touch wood) in the last six years has been excellent. Our trading has not been excellent. Dude is 29 and can kick. Pick 5 is sacrosanct.

That seems like us putting years into players and then letting them leave to me. As in not really a win.

Apparently Christian is going to open a Traccaria on Lygon. my mistake, spending too much time in a traccaria in Lygon st.

Kynan Brown looked good in the 4 seconds we were able to see him at level.

Yeah but so did Tappscott

Hahah yeah you guys are probably right. Freo has some interest apparently after a medical. Some Carlton friends suggest they havent managed his injuries that well but who knows.

Surprised by this. Blues haven't managed him properly for mine. Dee's have any interest?

Nothing in that advertising campaign mentions our club in any way.

I thought he was gone after last years final series but gees he proved me wrong down back.

We used to recruit players that could run but simply could not kick. They would just run around all day on the field while we got flogged.

I dont mind Membrey. If it was cheap it would be un upgrade on some of our recent trade ins.

I'm not sure Sparrow has ever shown he is a 30 touch mid

One speed but a worthy Brayshaw replacement. I can see this happening.

Can I just say watching Carlton tonight that the suggestion McKay was overs or even par for Tracc is laughable. And their midfield is very one-speed already.

I heard shortly after this photo he lifted his phone to reveal the Demonland Forums

Carlton's midfield is a bit one speed like ours tbh.

Yeah look I took brand manager as more his social media promotion stuff. But who knows I guess.

There is something odd with Ralphie's statement. I mean could you imagine being the partner of an AFL star just cold calling player agents for legal advice? Seems a bit weird for mine and unlikely.

'I remain committed to playing in the red and blue' - he did not exclude playing for the white! Its official, he is going to the doggies!

So if that is true he did a Luke Ball and did everything he could to avoid playing for the dees (in his case again). If true that is pretty sad really. I mean its kind of like we are a partner that has been cheated on, everyone knows what happened and yet we take the partner back with open arms. lol

Main takeaway from the new Tom Morris comments was that he said that Tracc wanted to go to Collingwood, not to a big club. Thought that was interesting. Maybe he has realised that the only way not to sustain a catastrophic injury playing the pies is to join them.
