Or Buddy going back to WA.This Pickett to Port thing will be there his whole career, like Pavlich apparently going back to SA.
Its boring
TDK, Walsh and Weitering also. Their top end talent is possibly the best in the comp. But even if it got to the stage where Trac is on the trade table, Blues aren't giving up one of these blokes and a top 5 puck. Because that's probably the ball park of what it would take.If we're playing hypotheticals – I'd absolutely blow my top if the centrepiece of a Petracca deal was Adam Cerra. BOG average footballer who's injury prone, to top it off.
McKay + picks, or Curnow + less picks the only thing I'd be remotely interested in from them.
Walsh has had a horrible year really, but yeah it’s all academic.TDK, Walsh and Weitering also. Their top end talent is possibly the best in the comp.

Yeah Walsh has been poor. Had a number of setbacks injury wise as well. Potential top 10 player up and going though. But it's a moot point anyway. Trac contracted would cost every club far too much. Tas would have the picks in a few years. Maybe by then Trac might like the idea if a quiet life in Hobart and we can get a bunch of great picksWalsh has had a horrible year really, but yeah it’s all academic.
Amazing to see how the club has handled everything. We’re not so much airing our dirty laundry as upending trailers of it on every media doorstep
That’s………..a long timeViney extended til 28'..**** me dead we'll be wheeling him out by then.
4 more years!? Wowee. Lamb strikes againViney extended til 28'..**** me dead we'll be wheeling him out by then.
Makes you think, doesn’t it?In 2027, our contracted, highly paid midfield will be:
I've called for some calm recently, but christ that's grim.
- A 35-year-old Max Gawn (final year)
- A 33-year-old Jack Viney (+ one more year)
- A 31-year-old Christian Petracca (+ two more years)
- A 30-year-old Clayton Oliver (+ three more years).
Looks like we're going to absolutely ride this group into the ground, when our midfield already looks extremely slow compared to the rest of the comp.Makes you think, doesn’t it?

I'm sure Jack and Max's contracts are hardly breaking the bank. They are probably an extra year longer than I initially thought they would have gotten, but looking after loyal servants at the end of their career isn't something I'm concerned about.In 2027, our contracted, highly paid midfield will be:

We seem to imagine we can Geelong it up for some reason.Looks like we're going to absolutely ride this group into the ground, when our midfield already looks extremely slow compared to the rest of the comp.
What's particularly worrying is that Trac is the only one of those that can play another position. So we're either going to be trotting out dad's army in the middle, or paying some guys a lot of money to play at Casey.
It's pretty clear that we got spooked by the North offer and have opted for 'stability' and 'loyalty' in a time of near-crisis.Right in time for Tassie to take all the young mids.
Classic Lamb and his primary school level skill of negotiating. Who the **** gives a 30 year old a 4 year contract.
4 more years of kicking it down the line to a contest and bombing it inside 50.
Which player is next? Salem? Fritsch? JvR?
Hopefully Sparrow

We can’t. And this isn’t the way to do it.
