This.Don't understand the obsession with his social media accounts and his Mrs running them. I think that is absolutely nothing in a grand scheme of things.Trac and his management have just come up with a PowerPoint presentation for Perty and Goody of "Here are 30 reasons why you should allow me to leave the Melbourne Football Club" . Most of them are nothing, just used to make his list of complaints look longer than it really is.
Reality is I think there are three and they are fair enough
1. You almost killed me and my family don't like you.
2. I think the coach has lost his marbles, I'm sick of playing boring contest and defense footy but I'm too nice to tell him.
3. The club doesn't take off field issues seriously enough. Drug and alcohol culture. Not enough professionals like me.
Short of any surprises of our key players wanting out, I don't see it.Is there any vic players Freo would willingly let go in a deal for Kozzy?

Sam Switkowski the obvious one that you guys might actually want. Have been rumours of him wanting to head back home since mid year. But someone also said that he was keen on you guys but recent events have turned him away and he's decided to stay. Think it's still a wait and see.
Maybe in the future. Don't see either team very keen on pursuing it now.Could Darcy end up at Geelong?
Also not Vic, but I think Brennan Cox would be a good option for us to trade for currency/cap space. Draper filled in more than fine for him in the first half of the year, and imo projects to be a much better player, so we wouldn't really be losing much. Meanwhile there's about a dozen teams that would be in the market for a Key Defender like him.Is there any vic players Freo would willingly let go in a deal for Kozzy?

Not sure what you guys are like aside from May/Lever, but he's also played a few seasons as a forward.
Don’t get too excited about potential Koz trades - our club has as much as said flat out that they won’t release these poor pricks. They are doomed just like we are.Also not Vic, but I think Brennan Cox would be a good option for us to trade for currency/cap space.

It's always disorienting turning on a Melbourne game for the first time in a few weeks and trying to figure out which key back is playing forward that week and vice versaMore defenders playing as key forwards just what we've been looking for.
Too late for that.Don’t get too excited about potential Koz trades
Yes.It's always disorienting turning on a Melbourne game
I used to complain back in the Neeld era that the salary cap floor was stupid because we had to overpay dud players just to meet it.
If the worst comes to pass and no one wants to come to us in the next 2-3 years, how do we even get close to meeting it?
Petracca - 1.2m
Brayshaw - 700k
Pickett - 600k
ANB - 400k
Hunter - 300k
BBB - 300k
Tomlinson - 300k
Schache - 200k
Guesswork and rounded numbers, but that’s somewhere in the vicinity of 4m coming off the list. Add in 8 rookies at ~150k a pop and that’s ~2.8m in free cap space.
Would seriously have to look at front ending all deals for the next 2-3 years. Load up with kids over that period then go hard with the mother of all war chests at a few free agents as Tassie enters the competition.
Get in the ear early of Zac Bailey, Sam Walsh, Ben King, Max King, Dylan Moore and Zak Butters (all ooc free agents at end 2026) - guarantee we make 2 of them the two highest paid players in the game and see who bites.
Think youre a fair way under on this. Brayshaw was on closer to 900, dunno on Pickett but probably 750-800ish, ANB id say 500, BBB would definitely be more than 300 maybe double that and Tomo's deal was much richer than that when we signed him think it was closer to 600-700Petracca - 1.2m

In answer to your question, yes, we front end the living shit out of just about everyone cause we wont be attractive to anyone decent this offseason.
Reidy…Ollie Murphy, Switkowski.
Also think Brodie and Erasmus will be looking for game time.
Two I’d like to keep are Knobel and Cooper Simpson
So basically trash apart from Switkowski. Great.Reidy…Ollie Murphy, Switkowski.

I don't think we move on Darcy this early on after the impact he had this season. We were an infintely better team with him in it. Jackson couldn't handle solo rucking after the first 3 weeks. Getting rid of Darcy to get Pickett would be a sideway move at best, but more likely a backwards move, since we rely heavily on winning clearances for our game to work.
Got to love the classic “take our WAFL players for one of your best players”
Give up on the dream. Even if we could get him I dont think giving Butters a long term mega contract would even be smart. The way he plays along with his build I doubt he lasts.Should just offer up 2.5m a year to Butters and 4 first rounders to Port
With that contract and his injury history youre dreaming id think.Stanley retiring maybe. Future first from Geelong for Darcy?
