Starting?

It was Todd Viney's relationship with Lewis that allowed us to bring him across.

At least half an oval, which would suit our one way running ?

Match day runner

Being on the Frankston line, a meth lab would have a good supply line to a major market.

Like the nose beer, rapey thing they've got happening in Seaford/Moorabin is good for his career.

Another lucrative venture could be to setup a meth lab and have it run via a proxy. There is good money in meth, so I have heard.

I'd think Jaguar's sponsorship would take several years to generate anything meaningful and that they'd be better off backing themselves in for at least another year. Melbourne and Jaguar are a ideal fit and brand wise and if they stay and we turn next season around then I would think it would pay massive dividends for both parties.

In fairness even the most disfunctional organisational would be an improvement on Freo, who lost their coach, CEO and have to train in Cockburn. This aside, I agree with your point.

It's a better outcome that we were poor this year than last/next year as having both blockbusters as home games when were top 4 next year will mean we have the bling bling.

Barrett is just salty because of the time Bernie Vince took his glasses at the urinal while at the Brownlow.

Given that up to last year we have improved every year for the last 5 years and played in a prelim last year it would be pretty dramatic for him to request a trade after one poor season. The club would be under no obligation to facilitate a trade after one horrible season and would be well within its rights to say it wouldn't even entertain the idea of trading him.

I don't have an issue with Trac being frustrated and meeting with the club to understand where it is going and where he fits in and discuss what he wants. Anyone who wants to be successful at whatever they do should be doing this.

I don't buy this. Petracca's actions on the field are not the actions of a disgruntled player. He's vocal, team oriented and has played his role beautifully. I'd be staggered if he requested a trade.

We should apply the Selwood rule with Brayshaw and get as many of them as we can. You can't have too many Brayshaws.

What a fizzer, with our season shot this is all I've had to look forward to for the past 6 weeks.

His nickname could be Sampson

I can see Jones playing another couple of seasons as a half forward on a year by year contract. I think the club is approaching his contract in the right way, where depending on Jones form and how the team is playing he may play 10 or less games or may play 20+ games, so the club isn't paying big $ for him to run around in the VFL. Would love for Jones to play 300 games and win a flag with us in the next 1-2 seasons and while alot has to go right he won't get that at GCS.

If you we're a plan you would be Plan 0

Good effort. Reckon he will go top 5 in the bluey as well.

I reckon the Clarkson footy coach factory is tracking better than the Malthouse one.

It arouses me to read this but didn't Hawthorn recently promote Yze into a strategy role?

I haven't bothered to read what Roos and Wheatley said but my view is that you do an external review when you need to justify changes at the CEO, President and Board level. If the CEO and President cannot run a whole of club review then they shouldn't be in the position. Further, in an external review who owns the actions and outcomes and what if the CEO, president and board don't agree with the issues and recommended actions.

Nieta was a converted full back. Can we get him down at the club to spend time with our forward line?

Adding to this we've also built a reputation of identifying players we want to target early and being good to deal with and focussing on our overall trade period, rather than trying to win every trade. This approach helps in players nominating us because they know we will be fair in deaping eith their existing club and will make the deal happen.
