Wells 11

Can I just say… regardless of how this turned out… what an out and out champion he was. Helped us win a flag and put the pride back into being a dee. Will be sadly missed. All the best Clayton. Thanks for the best memories i’ve ever had as a long time supporter.

Also that’s a 3rd rounder in 2027 where tassie get 10 extra picks as well. It’s basically a give away. prob we paying more of his contract. given we lost oliver and trac I think he’s a good choice.

technically a glance is still “ a head movement”… he wins in court.

take him back!

you don’t have to do backflips… just turn your head.

Perhaps its part optics ie demonstrating to us mangled supporters that they pushed hard til the end. Or perhaps it’s genuine brinkmanship and there’s a thought of keeping him.

was it at a bbq?

Once he’s at the suns that will stop and he’ll be back to being referred to as a champion. Damo trying to downgrade his value right now… on behalf of the AFL… and because he hates the dees.

Appreciate the updates🙏🏼

But not much…

Yes but… We can’t go on having our best, highest paid players butchering the ball. Clarry, Trac and Viney are all legends of the MFC and premiership players, but we can’t have them all in the same team. Game changed.

But what sense, in the Walter scenario, does recruiting Mihocek then make? I honestly think it’s BH or go home.

The media is pushing 2 picks pretty consistently. We need “ family or personal reasons” to become part of the BH narrative and he will need to get that out there. Big decision for the young man.

you don’t belong on this forum lol

who was?

Anyone ever think how different things might be IF Oliver kicks a goal rather than that OOF in the dying minutes against Stkilda and we won? Would Goody still be there? would Clayton? Would Judd? Sometimes these tiny margins lead to big changes. FWIW I think Oliver will have an outstanding season at GWS in 26 . After that… we’ll see.

4 mins without a new post! someone say something!

Well now he’s committed to GWS it’s incumbent on them to get a deal. We’re not totally without power here.

Sadly I think Oliver will be a very good player at GWS and the change will be what he needs. He won’t be the megastar of yesteryear as his kicking will interfere with that now, but he could well be top 50 in the comp. I also don’t think, given the baggage with us, he was going to be that good for US again. The “culture” issue created at our club by our two most expensive players caring so little for the dynamics within it just had to shift. I still feel really sad to see him go (bang bang bang and all of that joy) and I also hope we get something back for him! But bottom line, new coach, fresh start I get it. Even if he finishes top 5 in the GWS b&f I will still get it. Oliver gets a fresh start… but so do the dees.

my thought exactly.

but they have both the media and the AFL under their control.

kind of sums up why we wanted him gone doesn’t it.

There is at least some good news in this [censored] show.

Good! … whether he does or doesn’t I still like the stand.
