PREGAME: Rd 11 vs Sydney
Interesting regarding Viney, even if he was 100% I wouldn’t fit him in, I’m not convinced .

Time to go Goody?
One game out of the eight, making the playoffs will not be a big deal. Aim higher .

Welcome to Demonland: Jacob Van Rooyen
Lack of height, strength and spring, playing against genuine talls sees him trying to reach higher with one hand. His game has deteriorated alarmingly since being tried as an undersized 193cm ruckman.

Well that’s a big dose of grief. Four little children now without fathers. Places the stupid game chasing the leather into perspective.

Luke Jackson back to Victoria?
It wasn’t losing Jackson that killed us, it was wasting that pick on Jefferson.

Harley Reid
Why not, get in the hock for another 15 years. Petracca, Oliver, Viney, Caulfield..Let’s do it. Must be some credit card.

Van Rooyen, Tholstrop and future second rounder should get it done.

TRAINING: Monday 12th May 2025
Ok, so we are playing above our ability, that’s good. NSW State of Origin go surfing to meet and bond with each other.

Spade is probably happy living in Sydney.

Not that you would have a clue.

Not hard enough, not good enough, not tough enough.

Trade Targets
Has anybody mentioned McAdams brother, Ash Johnson, out of contract at years end. Has shown up in plenty of highlights. You can’t sell Caulfield to prospective players, something we have talked about for forty years, and may or may not happen in five years. Our training setup at Goschs is not that bad, and Caulfield is not going to land us much closer to Casey fields anyway.

My 3 word player analysis V Hawthorn
One armed bandit.

Training Ground?
I wouldn’t be comparing stadiums, community assets, Western oval, Ballarat, and Geelong, to a couple of ovals in the middle of a city racetrack.

PREGAME: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
No JVR, he’s had a few goes and a few fails, No Oliver, can’t keep changing the team to suit him, it’s not right Time to have a look at Sestan for Petty. Reckon we will win.

The Next CEO
Football is played on the MCG 6 hours a week, Marvel 4 hours. Both surfaces are poor, and are sheltered from the elements. I understand a little about green keeping.

Professional team training on what will be a community oval at Caulfield. Far from ideal, 17 weeks before the new man plans on placing his size 12’s under the desk. Interesting times.

PREGAME: Rd 08 vs West Coast
Disco, taller than Van Rooyen, better hands, better ruck

The Next CEO
It’s not ideal, two seasons with patched up management 24/25 25/26 All the loser clubs who are clearly done would have completed pre planning, planning for season 25/26, two months before September, and discussed a way forward. Imagine attempting to recruit high profile players and signing on multi million dollar contracts.
-
Training Ground?
All the major decisions need to be made before September. Sponsorships, players contracts, recruiting, coaching, financial planning, Senior Office bearers. We will have 3 CE0, Perty, Chipper and Guerra, all carrying out different tasks, and 2 Presidents Brad and Smith, a lot of hand balling, during the holiday season. It’s a big no from me, lots of Chinese burns and arm twisting going on.

The Next CEO
September is a long ways off, I see the this as a huge blunder. Appears we went door knocking.

2025 MRO & Tribunal
Kozzies no saint, he was suspended the first three rounds, and I believe he has been fined the other three. Rough play, striking, and assailing the umpire.
