Trade Targets
Surely itโs Will Brodie for a future 5th round pick. Freo owe us a favour !!!

2024 Free Kick Differential
I get amazed by the hawks players physically showing the too high or dropping the ball signs and somehow they seem to convince the umpire. Maybe itโs the suggestive behaviour theory. Less verbal. More directive movements.

Trade Targets
@dazzledavey36 agree with Finn Callaghan. Heโs a star. Wait and then throw the whole piggy back at him !! Ps. Make sure we donโt mention anything about Casey training facilities.

Thanks to Gary Pert ๐๐ @Young Blood we are not even thinking about trading Trac. Full stop. Trac is red and blue. No use forecasting his trade value.

Gary Pert. Thank you ๐๐

19 pages so far. Just a blip in time. Maynard knockout of Brayshaw. We got to 112 pages in 2 days.

Time for calm. The club will speak with Trac. Big Maxy will speak with Trac. All will move on. 5 year contract deal. Trac will be in red and blue next year.

The 2024 Positives Thread
@D4Life letโs get a beer or a coffee. Great points. Its along with my thinking. We are not a basket case. Just need some smart decisions

Trade Targets
Will Brodie. ๐๐๐Definitely Yes. He fits in immediately. He is good at contested footy. Skills. Behind too many at Freo. Dominates the WAFL. Would cost a packet of chips aka 4th rounder. Moneyball pick.

Kate Roffey
I think the question is WHERE IS KATE ROFFEY. We need to hear from her. Dees supporters are hurting. Really need some voice to calm and restore sense of control. There is still blue sky. We need to hear it. No BS though. At the moment, it feels like we are in free fall.

Agree. It was more click bait journalism from misogynist Morris. Actually it shows THE REAL PASSION of our MFC supporters. No skiers here. Just posters that love the footy club and emotional to see club at its best.

Tim English
Good news. Heโs soft.

thank you @DistrACTION Jackson โUnless you are directly in contact with Petracca or Viney or Goody , no one has a clue what the issues areโ But MFC needs to put out the fire NOW

CASEY: Rd 21 vs Gold Coast Suns
Casey copped the most ridiculous draw this year. Several interstate games. Bizarre times. Byes at strange dates. Tough draw. At least for this match the club gets to all travel together. Itโs a shame itโs not the final game. Big night on the GC !!!
