No doubt the MFC is a mess, but when Houston was talking to us mid-year, and the talk was two first-round picks would need to be involved, our 2024 R1 was looking to be more like 10-12, not pick 5.

I reckon we'd have thought a lot more carefully about trading pick 5. Either way, 5 and 9 is a great result.

Still pretty embarrassing for us that we were willing to trade that when no one else would have.

 

[Andy_Mac]

I was surprised to see Kruger get delisted.

I know list spots are tight and all, but i wouldn't mind if the club had a look at him.

 

[Toump Ass]

Get ****ed Houston you campaigner.
We didn't want you anyway.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Get ****ed Houston you campaigner.
We didn't want you anyway.

You're saying this as a Port Adelaide fan yeah?

 

[Bluelegs]

Just watching Lambs presser from the last day of trade period.

When asked what he achieved that day.

"I had three sausage rolls."

And people say he doesn't do anything.

 

[SugarHealey]

Get ****ed Houston you campaigner.
We didn't want you anyway.

Toooo Xpensive.

I am glad Tracca put his foot down and mouth into gear... to get things back on Track; so to speak.

The club needed a shake up imv, and with the el Preso taking the long walk out... that there were more hands on our list management than just the list manager.

Maybe the Pres and others had too much of a say on list issues, over the past couple of years... and not enough say on the direction on the ship as a whole.

Drugs were on the agenda... and IMV, players should have been suspended much much earlier than this year.

Perty, I do not trust your efforts in running this ship for the last 3 Yrs... since we partied after the Perth glory.

Aii... but how did he do 3 sausages rolls. Did he say how.?

Far too injury prone. But see your point. I wonder if we didn’t have Fullarton if we’d go for him.

But how much did you overpay for those sausage rolls Tim?

Probably traded a dozen pies and 6 vanilla slices for those 3 sausage rolls lol

 

[Toump Ass]

Three sausage rolls is a solid day though, I had a half a banger of a sausage roll and I felt pretty satisfied with that.

 

[ABray10]

Can we just get the damn draft over now. I want to know if I am melting over two more big inside mids who we will probably play as half forwards to fit them in the team or do I have two more players along with Windsor to be excited about seeing next year.

Days after the Demons shut the door on a move to Geelong, the four-time best and fairest winner was pragmatic about the failed trade and is “keen to get back” to training with his Melbourne teammates when preseason formally starts next month.

The Dees kept their word in not trading Oliver, who had met several Cats players at ruckman Rhys Stanley

Prized picks at five and nine in this year’s mooted super draft will provide further cause for optimism that the Dees can rise after tumbling to 14th.

] was a little bit off,” Oliver said.

Oliver said he was over the fitness issues that interrupted and disrupted his season.
“I’m alright, got my hand fixed up, metal plate taken out, my knee’s all good, I had a couple of broken ribs, they’re all fixed up,” Oliver said.
“I had a stinker but that’s all right, it happens.”
Oliver said he remained in constant contact with Petracca, who is training overseas in Europe after patching up differences with the club.
Olivier cut a relaxed figure at Caulfield, celebrating Niance’s victory in the listed Alinghi Stakes with friend Darcy Mangan, who runs Ace Bloodstock.

A lover of the turf, Oliver has part-shares in several horses but knocked back an offer to buy a share in the Grahame Begg-trained sprinter.
“I got offered it. He gave me first choice, but I was into the footy season, so just worried about that,” Oliver said.


Thoughts everyone???

The difference is stark. Clarry is dressed to the nines watching horses go around the racecourse. Trac is training intensely and intensively in Austria/Germany/Bavaria.

Gus retired, Trac was injured, May was just shit.

Found the May reference odd

I like it. He’s open about everything and owning his poor year.

I also backed Niance with a decent stake!

 

[Crusty Demon]

Hopefully he's mending some bridges and working his a$$ off to get fit again. Only way to repay the faith is to get back to his best form.

Clarry was doing research for the new training base. Nothing to see here.

I heard Clarry is heading to the US, maybe Utah this offseason to do a training camp to get his fitness back. Not sure if that’s true or not if anyone can confirm
