I reckon the negative reaction on here is a bit over the top. While I rate McVee and wish he resigned with us it is a bit rich calling him a rat and wsnting to boo him or for blaming Freo for pursuing a young out of contract player. AFL careers are short and we have no idea of his personal circumstances. I'm sure the club will do its best to get him to Freo if they offer a fair deal and that we will also see what West Coast are prepared to offer. While a loss I think we will be able to cover for McVee and use the pick to either trade up in the draft or find a good player that fits our needs.

Chat potatoes

I hope both teams lose

As it stands how many vacancies do we have for Senior Assistants? With the departures of Radford (Strategy & Midfield) and Bassett (Backline) that frees up two vacancies but it looks like Jones (previously Stoppage Coach) might have been promoted as the Senior Assistant for midfield. Logically it looks like we will bring in one Senior Assistant for either the backline or forwards with Chaplin shifting back/forward accordingly. I think it is good that we have retained Jones and Chaplin as the coaching structure has significantly changed with a new Head Coach, 1 x new Senior Assistant (to be appointed), 1 x Head of Development. We also have the Footy Strategy boss role that sits between Richo (Footy GM) and Guerra (CEO). My guess would be the vacancy would be someone who has successfully worked in similar systems to what King is looking to implement and possibly someone who King has previously worked with. I also wonder whether the appointment has already been made but not announced yet due to the said person being involved in today's Grand Final.

I think foe us to trade out Trac we need a mature player who meets our needs in return, e.g. a key forward or a vlassy midfielder, rather than only getting draft picks.

Who is this Bodhi chap, can we have him too?

Dannyz, I don't see it as doing Geelong a favour but respecting that King wants to see out his commitments to the Cats 2025 Premiership season. Through his press conference and the subsequent intervie on tue MFC site it is clear that King is able to balance both commitments for a few weeks. Also contrary to popular opinion there is usually alot less for a Senior Assistant to do during a finals campaign than during the season.

The Club and Judd have agreed to announce resigning when it gets to 60 pages

I was initially concerned about this but the AFL stated the ball only goes out of bounds off a handball or kick 1 - 2 times per game so should have minimal impact on tactics and really just make it easier to officiate the 'insufficient intent' rule. Most stoppages occur when a player takes the ball over the boundary.

This probably explains it a bit more accurately than my racist against red heads rant. It is also consistent with the AFL promoting gambling to under 16 year olds and relying on gambling commissions for more than 10% of its total revenue despite the link between gambling, mental health challenges and family voilence.

I wonder how many times the AFL CEO met with Clarry to tell him how important he is to the game. Baily Smith is the poster boy of the AFL because of his looks and talent. The AFL is racist against red heads.

I don't know how to talk to you

2018 to the end of 2025 is 8 years. While not coaching in 2021 I think it still counts as the year would have involved reflecting on his 2018 - 2020 stint and also preparing and applying for his 2022 job.

I think you have mixed up Nathan Buckley with Nicholas Cage which is understandable.

Do we really nead a dedicated topic to Rumours given that this time of year more than 90% of posts are centred around rumours, with the remaining 10% bout our AFLW teams stellar start to the season and on news that is reported by the club.

Haha, absolute dead ringer. I hope the club social media use this to build our profile.

I'd love to get Bevo to our club just to do Pressers. He is a bit of a loose unit and not the sort of person you'd want to be trapped in a broken down elevator with.

Maybe they both reached triggers for an extension. In any case Melksham is our best forward and TMac is a clubmam who provides cover for May and Lever, will provide leadership and help develep our young backs (Adams, White) in the VFL, and also gives us flexibility in the offseason to trade out Lever or May if an offer too good to refuse comes up.

Could be Mark Neeld who would have been a Senior Assistant at the same time as Bucks.

If he were Jeff Kennett he would take credit for motivating Adam Simpson to prove him wrong.

George will end up at the Filth

Before Trac's injury last year we were playing reasonable footy and were in the mix to lay finals and alot of this was to do with Trac's good ball use in our forward half. It is just after a year on from an injury where he had multiple operations and had to rest for more than 4 months for his internal organs to heal before he could do any form of exercise other than resting and walking. I think he will benefit significantly from anothor preseason.

Ironically the year that we won our Premiership it was when the entire league was nomadic. Another way to put it is that living interstate united key personnel across the club in the same location instead of being spread across the MCG, AAMI Park, Gotches Paddock and Casey.

I heard he is sick of Kochie's shrill voice.
