Ted Lasso

Port will need to soften on their asking price. I wouldn't if i was them

It would be some backflip for Houston to say he's staying himself and flip and come to vic. Hope our own number 5 doesn't get any ideas.

I can understand why people would want to ask for pick 25, but when we've farewelled the guy publicly, acknowledged he's moving home on compassionate grounds and agreed to trade him, i feel like we've given up a lot of leverage to trade with, i see the Crows offering us a late pick and we don't really have anywhere to go from there.

I actually think Damo has been pretty good with the Trac stuff, i think he's one of the few journos who has done a really good job of seeing the fault in both sides of this situation. He's given Trac as many good clips as he has the MFC, and as far as i can see the MFC might be a basket case, but Trac hasn't been a saint either.

Ted Lasso managed to turn a vein, egotistical young man in Jamie Tartt around by benching him, perhaps the same needs to happy to our very own Jamie Tartt. Believe.

If Trac was anywhere near as good as he seems to think he is on and off the field he would be determined to play a leading role in helping the MFC get back to where it belongs, rather than looking for a chance to jump ship.

Errol Gulden is that you?

Greatest ever ruckman. The thing with the Gawn vs Xerri debate, i kept telling my old man, Xerri will have 20 disposals, 5 marks, 30 hit outs and people will be blown away, but Gawn will do it the same weekend, against a much better opponent and noone will talk about it because we're so used to him dominating. the absolute best games of the competitions other ruckman, reach the average games we see from Max Gawn. the guys a freak.

Pert and Roffey both need to go in my opinion, they're the heads of the ship and they're driving us into an iceburg. Lets get some real leadership, get a full external review of absolutely everything done and re-build the club to give us a fighting chance.

Can we answer neither?

It's so difficult for any fan to be able to assess the performance of a high performance manager because we simply don't have the numbers and information required to make informed judgements. what i will say is that when Burgo was at the club the best 22 had a lot more seasoned AFL ready bodies than this season which has a mid age void, a bunch of really young guys and some 28s and over. they were working with two totally different things, and i'd say Selwyn is doing quite well considering he has a much more difficult task.

It's absolutely extraordinary if the clubs president hasn't been keeping in contact with Petracca and his family following life threatening injuries.

Orrr.... and just hear me out.... it is possible the MFC isn't perfect and has some issues to work through?

So we've hard Richo, Pert and Roffey all do interviews since the Trac stuff dropped, and i don't know about anyone else but right now every major leader of the club is reducing my confidence in the club, besides Goody who i think is presenting quite well given what he's got to work with. We're in a bad bad spot at the moment, and it feels like we hardly know any of what's actually gone on that's created the storm.

Saints can have him for pick 7, 8 and Max King, otherwise send him to the Pies.

I would have thought 100% of Dees fans would fully support an independent review of the club. this is the only way to guarantee and end to the talk of our toxic culture and to ensure we actually have the right things in place.

I think given our cultural challenges, getting a legend of the arguably greatest culture in modern AFL history would be a really smart move, he would still be in our best 22, could transition into a coaching role and really help us to get our culture on track and develop our leadership. If we're not up to our necks in chasing parker we're making a mistake

I'm so sick of these low ball ridiculous offers. It's mcreery and a late first rounder or don't even bother calling me

In my view Pert needs to go, i have zero trust in anything he says He said " we have the best culture in 40 years" and we missed the finals and had several major off field issues He said "He's not having conversations were Petracca about breaking his contract or being traded" Maybe you're not, but he was certainly aware that was his intention in my view. if you want the fans trust, admit there are significant issues to work through, commit to a full audit of every area of the club, get things right and give us a fighting chance of being relevant in 2025. Fans aren't [censored], the majority on here saw right through the Petracca situation the moment the reports dropped, and i don't think clubs as a general rule give this point enough consideration, we're not toddlers and can handle the news that things need to improve, you're not protecting anyone coz the players clearly know.

If Richmond or North don't take him 1 or 2 they'll regret it for 15 years. I'd take him pick 1 if i was Richmonds list manager. If we get him at what will be pick 6, start dancing coz it's a huge steal

He's high end character and leadership and when fit he can give us something we're desperately lacking, if we get him for virtually nothing outside of money, i don't see why we wouldn't.

I would be putting in a phone call to Adam Simpson, and trying to get Nev Jetta back to the club.

If Moore did that to Kozzie - 0 weeks because it's Kozzie 1-4 weeks

It really makes it hard when your best kicks consistently miss targets in a game where you have almost no margin for error anyway.
