spirit of norm smith

Do they even know who Petracca is ? Premiership player All Australian Norm Smith medallist 2 x B.&F winner 2 x B&F Runner He polled 16 votes in the Brownlow across 10 games in his comeback year All the trades offered so far are a disgrace He’s contracted. The Crows can go f€€>k themselves !! Stand up Dees and show some ballz!!

That’s a joke. “14” becomes “20” after free agency compo and compensation picks. That’s a deesaster for us !!!

Tim Lamb. Please show some backbone this year.

Crows cannot offer anything to anyone unless it means the Dees get screwed. We are now a laughing stock on field. Dont let that be also off field !!! Stand firm.

AGREE. TRAC CAN NOMINATE THE CROWS BUT REMEMBER HE IS UNDER CONTRACT. IF THE CROWS OFFER US A “PACKET OF BISCUITS” IN THIS AVERAGE COMPROMISED DRAFT AND THE NEXT COMPROMISED DRAFT, THEN THE ANSWER IS A NO. PICKS AROUND 21-22 ARE AN INSULT. TRAC IS UNDER CONTRACT. HE WAS RUNNER UP IN THE B&F. HE POLLED 16 BROWNLOW VOTES. KING. GUERRA. GREEN/SMITH. SHOW SOME TEETH AND MAKE A STAND.

Successful Footy Trades usually are working on players who were playing AFL footy but seek to move due to Money Longer contract terms Going home /Need a fresh start Are in and out and in and out (and want regular footy) Players in the early to mid 20s work generally best Looking through the finals and seeing the teams, that’s the go. It’s proven. It’s not picking up players who are injury riddled or can’t get a game at their current club. We did it through 2017 -20. Hibberd. Lever. May. Langdon. Melksham. Brown. It made sense !! By the way. The Lions. Neale. Cameron. Dunkley. Ah Chee. All were regulars at their prior clubs who were traded in for a reason

Mason Cox ? No

We move on. Juddas has decided to move on. Now let’s get the best deal and focus on the players who want to stay and work hard to improve and get fitter and stronger.

It was satire… mocking the Lions when they lost 3 players to the go home (Polec, Docherty , Yeo). They cried out and with AFL pumping millions into resources, the local Brisbane footy scene is vibrant with record participation across ages 8-16 for boys and girls and growing. We’ve seen only the tip of the iceberg. Their academy is flourishing. Conceivably 4 Lions academy players should be drafted this year. They could get all four. Annabel is top 5 definitely. Each year they will likely get a top 10 nurtured talent for some points allocation. It’s BS now !!

@Travy14 hmmmm. Say we get 29 off the FOCKERS for McVee. Then package up the 23,29, +Spargo compensation. After free agency picks, picks slide down to likely to be say 26, 33, 43. Could we package up for Suns pick 16 which ends up as a pick 21-22 pick in any event after compensation. It’s a mess with the free agent compensations and the academy picks and father son picks.

I’m sick of all these players wanting to go home. It’s unfair and the AFL need to do something about it. Let me think. They should create an academy system where you can develop local talent and if they are good, you get to have priority access to them. Sorry, has that already been done? Sorry who’s that for? Lions, Suns, Giants, Swans. Are they struggling clubs? Oh, Lions … the back to back premiers!! Swans. Runners up in 2024. Giants, Suns, Lions. Three of them were in 2025 finals. Wow that system sounds like a big winner. 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

? is Judd McVee from Geraldton. 400kms from Perth ? Returning home ? I guess it’s closer !!

#7: Cooper Duff-Tytler Position: Ruck / Key Forward Height: 200cm Club: Vic Metro / Calder Cannons Draft Range: 1-10 They are joking !?!?! He’s a 200cm player who can kick goals and play as a 2nd midfielder as well. Think Luke Jackson type but with more footy IQ and development. He can start as a 2nd ruck and then become number 1 after 2-3 pre seasons. If the Dees had a pick in the first 3, I’d choose him

Who said he was staying ? Girlfriend in Melbourne and just wanted to get some more midfield minutes. He was part of our 19-22 group coming through. Really disappointed. Really pi&$$&() off. Returning home ?!?! We gave him the chance after all the other clubs didn’t draft him. Loyalty ?? What is that ???

Geelong beat Brisbane 3 weeks ago because their pressure was high and Brisbane couldn’t handle it Brisbane turned it around 80 points mostly because they brought the pressure and this time Geelong couldn't handle it. It is about transition footy and skills PLUS applying pressure and winning the contested footy. You can’t focus on one. We became just a contested team and now have to bring the attacking run as well. It’s been early stages but you can see it !!

NOW 2025 IS DONE STEVEN KING IS APPOINTED Keep Oliver Petracca May Uncontracted McVee ✅Hope King being appointed and a good contract offer sees him stay Billings ❌ Fullerton ❌ Sestan ❌ Spargo⭕️UFA Trade or allow to leave (R) Verrall ❌ (R) Hore❌. (R) KBrown💔❌ 7 off the list - Spargo, KBrown, Fullerton, Hore, Verrall, Billings, Sestan 2 on the list - SSP top ups Henderson and Culley have earned one year deals so get added ❓❓Taj Woewodin/ Woey junior - does he seek to get traded to either Freo or Eagles ❓❓Steven May - Hope he stays and sees out his career. He didn’t have a great year but when fit, he was still a mountain in defence Contracted 2026 McAdam⭕️sure he has mercurial talent but can’t believe he was 29 yo and injury prone and he got 3 years (Tim Lamb: was there a trigger clause even thought about? ) Maybe he gets to see out his final year. Have to somehow hope 🤞he can stay on the park or I think he’ll have to retire early. Laurie⭕️ elite at VFL Level. Just wish he’d got more chances at AFL game and shown something. He has been on our list 5 years now. Might just seek opportunity elsewhere. Contracted. The “1-year club” The Veterans. (5) Melksham Tmcd May McAdam Campbell On the edge. (10) Laurie Woey jnr Jeffo Adams Johnson rookies: Kentfield Culley AMW Mentha Henderson That’s a lot of unproven or players in their twilight. Conceivably all 15 could be gone at end 2026. Added Culley and Henderson as upgrade from SSP to the list 5 new additions Add some trade in players Draft… Add White (likely list) and Sinnema (likely cat b rookie) Add 2 quality youngsters in the draft

I hope they don’t look back at this … DEES TRADING SINCE THE PREMIERSHIP 2021 IN Dunstan❌ 2022 IN Grundy ❌Hunter❌ Schache ❌OUT Toby Bedford, Jayden Hunt, Luke Jackson, Sam Weideman 2023 IN Billings ❌McAdam ⭕️ Fullarton❌ OUT Harmes Jordon Grundy 2024 In Sharp⭕️Campbell ⭕️OUT Neale-Bullen

Now STEVEN KING CAN BECOME THE DEMONS COACH !! Let’s go !!

Agree. Goodwin saying we lost purpose after winning the 2021 GF was bizarre and difficult to understand. The inner built want to win has to be continuous, not just a blip in time.

Cats are winning … The Free Kicks 20-10.

Why don’t they show us Chris 💩Scott!!!??

5 million 💩💩💩💩💩

Maeve Chaplin is a star ❤️💙Love how she has controlled the backline. She’s only 23 !! Emerging leader. Give her a blank cheque. Tahlia Gillard. 💙❤️Only 21. So strong. Reliable. Not much to do yesterday but she’s just come back and will be a key in the next few weeks and in finals versus the Kangas forwards. Must sign her up for multi years @Demonland we have such a great AFLW program

Like to see us grab someone like Phil Davis. Smart operator. Definitely has good insights and recently retired.
