		As with most things, the starting point should focus on the "WHY"! In trades it could be greater opportunities, go home factor, money, family, success, health, career extension, desire to get out, etc. Then the decision makers focus on addressing the why; in this case if its * success, MFC is as likely as any for next year (we are a dodgy decision or unlucky bounce of the ball from playing finals this year despite injuries and drama) - so sell him that and the improvements we are implementing to achieve this * Money, tbat would require significant Brown paper bag and property portfolios; to make a difference to support * desire to get out - fix the problem in the club, or if none (minor); then accommodate his reasoning "to get out" which will likely land him at clubs like the Eagles or Roo's. Note in this case we've addressed the "why", which doesn't necessary equate to the "want" (Collingwood). Good culture is built on how you handle "Why" versus catering for "wants" Note: O'Keefee was desperate to be traded to Hawthorn (I think) but the Swans refused and then he was instrumental in helping win a premiership.

		PREGAME: Rd 20 vs GWS
		
		Teams are starting to expose Boweys lack of height in the backs, but against GWS this shouldnt be a problen - so he gets a reprieve. What GWS had is speed and in form Hogan. Salem should play in the midfield or be given a rest. We have to tag Tom Green (note they ate not a high inside 50 team, so restricting Green is a must). On a brighter side, they wouldn't have a clue who Bedford should go and tag!!!!!

		2024 MRO & Tribunal
		
		Haven't had the chance to read this thread, but a simple fix (in principle) * acidental (legitimate footy act I.e well executed spoil, tackle, smother, etc) results in concussion - suspension is the same time as the concussed, but emain eligible for brownlow. * careless (mistimed footy act) - suspension is the time of the concussed plus one week * reckless (unrealistic attempt of a footy act) - suspension is the time of the concussed plus 2-3 weeks * intentional (non footy act such as a punch, elbow, headbut, etc) - minimum 5 weeks, but grading should start at 8 and work up/down from that point Note some may say it's unfair to lose a week for an accident, as it was legitimate footy act; but it is also unfair on the victim to lose a week - sometimes in footy you can just be unlucky (in this case both players).

		A new dawn for the Demons - our 2025 squad
		
		Listing a whole heap of positions that need improving, then stating we draft for them isn't going to work. Beyond the top 30 picks or so you're unlikely to find an A grader that is a significant improvement on our regular first grade players - to do so relys more on luck! Similarly turning the list over by more than 6 ot so players; means you are likely bringing in 3rd - 5th rounders and other clubs Non required players. Again unlikely to be a significant improvement This gets exabercatered exponentially as we turn over more players. Note: to bring in quality normally requires giving something of quality up, which in turn then requires quality to replace. We need to go hard for a quality established midfielder, trust our developing forwards will develop, groom Petty as the May replacement and hope we find a gem in the draft. As such we should throw the bank at T Miller or Brayshaw!

		PREGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
		
		McVee May Petty Bowey Tmac Rivers Windsor Viney Langdon ANB Oliver Picket Chandler JVR Fritsch Gawn Trac Salem K Brown Woey Kolt Turner Sparrow Petty back is better for both him and team. Oliver may be getting it, but very little is effective - he'd be a real headache in the forward line though as he can get his hands on it - forcing defenders to panic. We alsi need lots of run to match the pies out of Defence - note I suspect pup will be one of those players who plays better with good players around him i.e. first grade.
