Wells 11

I remember when we used to celebrate getting a new sponsor. I still do.

and a pick swap with port. But aside form that....

To be honest I reckon he's going to be a superstar...we can only dream.

Gotta say I agree here. Has played important roles fr this team. I also have no sense that Sparrow or Jordan would be better. Can only assume he’s being pushed out.

Will be hard to see all of Jackson, Hunt, Harmes and Bedford in different colours 😞

imo they would have absolutely have known re Scott. Yze was played fr optics as well as it being most likely a massive stealing of our IP. The later part not being widely talked about.

The question isnt about injuries really , it’s more about injury management. Hindsight is easy I agree but we did make a lot of mistakes in this regard in 22. Let’s hope they reset their approach in 23.

but geez our second last laugh was a good one … i don’t even care about the last one. 😉

People freaked out re May for pick 7.. and two 1sts for Lever ( no mention of the 2nd rounder back.. was it Rivers?) Over at the pies site they reckon 2 x 1st rounders . Over here it’s 1x a second rounder. Every supporter at every club wants a win / lose in trading. Dodorro over at the bombers pretty much tries to own that space and look at the bombers. Dees go about their work in a quiet , fair way. I respect that. In the end I think a latish first rounder is about right.

Thanks fr this. But could u clarify. was it a pic without comment and u saying the rest or was it a pic with his comment “ ready to go next year” ?

Rivers, Fritsch?

but did he in fact re injure that foot? :-)

Im just speculating. But fwiw this is my thinking. it would seem to me if he says “goodbye” before a deal is actually done it automatically diminishes our hand. If Grundy said “goodbye and thank you” to the pie fans pre deal, wouldn’t you think it’s possible we could pay less for him? I understand Grundy is still contracted so it’s not exactly the same, but none the less Jackson is saying no more or less than Grundy atm. And I’m sure both of them care enough about their previous team mates to hold off on saying too much before things are finalised.

How about waiting til the deal is complete first! . If he does that kind of thing now it’s undermining our position. I have no doubt he is getting informed by the club in terms how they would like him to conduct himself.

mods need to change the thread title to read “ Did Tmac re injure his foot?”

I agree it’s irritating. But It’s nothing that a Geelong GF loss won’t heal.

like saying “hopefully it’s not hot in summer”

1./ We will start round 1 in a bracket of 4 teams as fav to win the flag. 2./ At some point in the season people will ask “ is goody the right guy?” 3./ We will play Geelong at Geelong

Exactly what I was thinking. Let’s get the facts on the ground straight first.

Who else opened this thread with an empty hole inside. It’s like watching your ex girlfriend getting together w a new guy and your friends chatting about whether they are a good match . In spite of that I’m compelled to comment. perhaps to ease the wound lol. A cpl of painful points about the cats … who I, sadly, think will win by 10 goals plus. They rested selwood and danger during the season. Danger did a mini pre season mid season. Given how he looked Fri eve and how we looked as a group in September you’d have to think that Burgess’s 21 model officially needs a redo. Thank you and all that for 21 but now we have to upgrade. As has been said ad infinitum they also have, very skilfully, rebuilt a game style over a summer without a blink. I sincerely hope yze ( if he’s around) and goody plus others can update and not get caught in holding on to 21. Scott did that fr too many years, I hope we’re smart enough to not do the same. Not about the cats but a note on the pies. They were prob the only team that could have beaten the cats this year. And that includes us. Corridor attack became the new black and runners not ruckman were pivotal. 2022 could see more teams doing it and different defensive set ups to counter it. Pause for thought as we recruit Grundy. plus just a wtaf moment, Pies were also so much fitter than the rest of the comp. That was OUR mantle.. How?

I’m disappointed in this , I thought you would understand the significance of the monarchy in our colonial history ..and the genocide of our indiginous. We stand and listen to welcome to country to recognise we are one country. Ironically we give a minutes silence to the monarch of another country. We are responsible for our past , our willingness to understand what that is demonstrates that.

they’re borrowing our IP

was thinking the same thing! goals like that or no getting goals like that can be so critical.

Hope so as personally I think he’s going to be a real gun.

Love the info GNF. no certainties of course but good to know we’re at least knocking in some doors.
