A good listen. My takeaway is that if we can generate enoug clearances, more than the Dogs in 2025, then we don't need to improve goal assists and scores per inside 50.

Thanks is there a shorter version, say 30 secs long? This goes for a whole 20 mins.

Could it be that while Richo is consulted on changes his involvement is not in a decision making capacity but rather to use his existing relationships with staff and players to help communicate changesand smooth the transition.

I thi k you will find clubs such as St Kilda and North give out free memberships to juniors who play for local football clubs or go to school in their area. A more relevant measure is membership revenue as it cuts through all of the junk and $1 memberships that to my knowldge the MFC doesn't promote.

Indeed. It also wouldn't surprise me if the design work has already been done to a level that a Contractor is able to be engaged to start preparing the site immediately once we have an agreement with the Caufield Trust, State Government and AFL, with additionally planning requirements submitted and approved in readiness for the construction. Taking this approach two years is realistic.

Throw picks 7 and 8 at him

If anything offering a stable long term tenancy without the drama of the MRC should make us an appealing prospect for the Trust. Surely they look at the MRC and think what are these muppets doing.

Im assuming other clubs have fathers who have had sons too

Thanks Trigon, I was actually being facetious but realised tone doesn't really come through. We have some excition father son prospects with Kalani White, Noah Yze and Oliver Green. Who else am I missing? Are the Robbo or Neita kids coming through?

Not to rain on the parade but the AFL will change father/son rules and Oilver will end up at Collingwood.

I feel that a key part of Trac and Oliver moving on is that it becomes our younger players midfield, with Gawn, Viney, Steele etc to guide them but in a way that hands over the mantle to our young core of players. I'd expect Langford, Lindsay, Windsor, Kossie etc to be really excited about the fresh start and imagine our older players will enjoy the fresh start. While I think we will be up and down next year I'm hopeful that we will hit our straps and could achieve anything by seasons end.

All of these players are on our list snd tracking well. For reference Charlie Curnow was drafted in 2015 and in his first 5 seasons averaged 1 goal per game. In his first 3 seasons JVR is averaging 1.5 goals per game.

While it seems all but certain tha Humphrey wont be joining us this trade period I have had a heap of fun on here and will keep a close eye on Humphrey's 2026 campaign. He seems like a good character to have in a footy club and hopefully we secure a good 2026 pick that can go towards chasing him next year.

I'd trust an anonymous member of a supporter forum whom I've never met that is posting updates while on the toilet at a bbq over the hack so called journalists.

Imagine with all of the fuss over Trac and Oliver trades if we forgot to hold a pick for Kalani and he slipped through to another team 🤣
