Billing's showing he will be GREAT as our #1 small forward. Mich0 will be happy, doesnt need to stress anymore, problem SOLVED.

I know Melbourne don't do Match Sim at training, but here are today's match sim highlights anyway...

I know they just training "highlights" but clarry looks pretty good. Certainly hasn't lost his knack for finding it and looks fitter.

Meh, he's simply been asked if he has any recommendations for Pert's vacant CEO role. Yet another nothing article lol

I was suspecting it might have been us asking him if he wants the CEO position. But no.

‘Hird has been contacted by the firm hired to find Pert's replacement to see if he has any recommendations for the position..’

Is this not the Firm's job?

Seems very odd.

I think article is a bit of a fluff piece to be honest.

It's what the media do now. They know James Hird's name gets people fired up either way, so they can't help themselves. Sounds like he literally just took a phone call and was asked for any recommendations for our vacant CEO role. An absolute nothing article. Misleading too as people will click on it thinking we are looking at Hird for the position lol.

Pretty much. Big names get big No. of clicks. Especially, if it leads to click-bait.

It’s a 4 min video so hard to read too much into it. But the signs with Clarry and McAdam are positive. Also Riv looked impactful and could take another step as a mid.

Not 100% accurate with player roles, etc. but still some interesting analysis.
