Cranky Franky

Unlucky not to be AA in past years. Don't know if he will ever get back to his best.

Come on guys - spell his name right

Gets a pass this year for obvious reasons however his output is down by about third. Needs to get back to his better form in 2025 or the Club will have to take a long hard look at him. You can't be earning $1.1 m & deliver a $500,000 performance.

I'm surprised you & Goffy haven't already started a petition to bring Roffey & Pert back.

Can't agree about an "ok year up forward". I reckon he had a couple of good games, maybe 3 solid games & thats about it. And 9 goals 15 is a poor return.

🤣🤣🤣 Both have left the building after a period of turmoil & Saty is still advocating for them. Next he'll be proposing statues for Neeld & Schwab.

Not sure how stating the facts is smug or snide. Several posters here have noted that GP's situation was untenable since the Clarry Mk 2 saga. I suppose waiting for yourself, Saty or KDF to admit the media got it right & GP had to go is a forlorn hope.

Just reporting the facts, the media got it exactly right, whereas according to you all of our 2024 disasters are just a beat up.

Wasn't there a bit of friction between PJ & the Board at the end ? I seem to recollect that PJ made recommendations about the new CEO which were ignored.

Hardly a surprise. Several media commentators predicted this saying his position was untenable after the "Clarry to Geelong" saga. Let's hope we replace him with a quality person. Let's face it we haven't had many decent CEOs recently.

I saw Aguirre the Wrath of God by Herzog in the 70's. A most bizarre, tedious & incomprehensible film.

No better than Schache

Needs to find a niche. Maybe a tagger or a running half back or a defensive forward.

Agree. If we reckon Spargo out was a major issue then we have real problems.

Haven't seen anything from BL to suggest he will make it.

Good. You can join the conga line of Goodie hagiographers worshipping at his shrine. It'll probably also increase the intellectual levels on Demonland considerably 😂😂

Happy with AMW. Showed some good dash, initiative & desperation when he played seniors. Also made errors which is to be expected. If he can tidy up some parts of his game he could slot in as a regular player.

I have seen nothing to suggest he will make the grade

Exactly. There is almost a US style "fake news" obsession with many Demonland supporters blaming all our alleged troubles on the media. To them the Joel Smith saga 2023 Clarry saga, Brodie Grundy debacle, 2022 & 2023 finals failures, 2024 Fremantle disaster, Trac injury saga, & Clarry 2024 saga were just Media beat ups. Everything is fine, the coaches are doing great, the Football Dpt is doing well & the Board is terrific. All good nothing to see.

You are sounding like a Trump election denier. I suppose Tom Stewart made up the story of meeting Oliver at Geelong while he visited their facilities.

On the first day of trading every media organisation reported Clarry was being shopped around by Pert possibly to Geelong. Tom Stewart admitted meeting Clarry when he toured the Cats facility. Pert declined to scotch the rumours. After a week of brouhaha Brad Green released a statement saying the Board had met & decided Clarry would not be traded. Several commentators have called for Pert's resignation over the matter. Do try & keep up 58er.

Yours is the dribble. You point us to evidence that Pert didn't shop him around. Maybe the boot studder took it upon himself to shop around one of our vest players. The fact that the Board had to intervene to stop it is embarrassing.

I dont think he was talking to Geelong about pasta recipes was he. This is all on Pert. By shopping Clarry around he started the media speculation and put the Club in an embarrassing position.

Pass. He's a bit "beige" for mine.

5 year cap is a great idea. 2 player maximum. More & more players are going on long term deals with potential to bankrupt Clubs.
