McRae looks certain to make it. Macrae might make it. McCrae is no chance.

MacCraigh will be a star

 

[jonbe54]

I think Tay's first few steps are very quick.

Yep those first 3 steps are all you need to break away if you are quick enough.

Got friends who live in Rosebud - they always refer to it as McCrae - they're not fooling me

What about the suburb previously known as Rosebud West but which now identifies as Capel Sound?

 

[De Glueie]

I wonder what will happen with Degoey ? Degoey a stand out in this year's finals
Some say he'll stay while others are saying he will go else where for the Money.
Pies are offering 800 k x2 years with clauses are triggers for another 2 years...........Pies are building a winning team or culture.
OR
Teams like Stkilda circling prepared to offer 5 year deal close to or on 1 mill a year.
Players like Degoey are extremely hard to find. Keep that in mind.
However these long term deals could cause laziness in players attitudes as once they sign they dont play as hard.
I really hope he stays but some say he may go for the $$$$$$$.
If he satys he wants to play and win flags if he goes then we know he is in it just for the dollars.
What do you all think ???????

 

[Carlthetruth]

I think you’re wrong here - Getting first possession at stoppage fits ALL game plans.

Not really, after watching clearance specialist Will Brodie get blown up by Crispy that's what you're getting with Mitchell, destroyed on the spread and that will cost in the big games.

 

[Forethought]

Any idea why Grundy wants to leave?

No Spin: Unfortunately my mail is only internal not external. Maybe BG has been a regular reader this year of BF

Jon Ralph reports that he is set to sign a 4 year deal with us.

[Forethought]

I appreciate you sharing your information. The question I'm asking now is why has Grundy so fallen out of love with the club he wants to leave? Did it all stem from being asked to take a pay cut? Or is it a matter of a clash with the new regime?

Hey Scrtichyscroony , my mail only comes internally and not externally so I can’t help there. I’m personally shocked with it as I’m a BG fan and believe he offers us more upside under the new coach and game plan than anyone else. I hope he / we find a way for him to stay.

Stayed in a B&B there once - owner was an idiot

Does anyone know anything about Chris Burgess? I was watching the VFL and he was dominant, and finished the season kicking 63.29.

He couldn’t crack into the GC team reliably this season, but last season he was alright as a sort of swing man / backup ruckman.

Think he’s out of contract (according to FootyWire), and was more just wondering if anyone knew anything about him. He certainly plays a lot bigger than 191cms

Got picked up as one of the extra picks offered by the AFL to help out.

Had previous form in the VFL comp before being picked up.

His main problem is at VFL level he plays as a KPF at 191cm and performs above most.

At AFL level he doesn’t play as a KPF and gets lost as a 3rd tall. His 3rd tall running patterns effect the 2x KPF’s and everything breaks down.

They have repeatedly tried to get his running patterns changed to a 3rd tall without luck. Same as 2 Metre Pete who they on flicked as he couldn’t do KPF running patterns.

Dew is huge on this.

That's some handy insight, ta.

Obviously doesn't have the physical gifts of 2MP, but 60+ goals in the VFL is pretty solid nonetheless. Might pay some attention to him next season if he ends up in a different system

I think he stays I was listening to fly post match when he said they were going out to win against Sydney and that Degoey had told him they were a better chance cos he didn't play last time. Doesn't sound like the type of banter someone who is leaving would say. I could be wrong $$$ talks but you would think that the sponsorship deals and post football opportunity would be worth a fair bit more money at Collingwood aswell.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

What are your specific reservations?

Mostly the fact that on the surface he appears to be a VFL gun that can’t seem to even remotely translate that to the AFL level when he gets his opportunity

Watching Jordie and bruzzy on That's Good For Footy a few days ago left me feeling that he will be signing with us pretty confident on that

Sounds like Frampton and Fiorini

He was in the pre game meeting room, sitting amongst the boys, with a Pies scarf on pre game Saturday night and he is still posting a lot on IG relating to the Pies and what they are getting up to. Fly also mentioned in his presser that BG is still helping out DC and Coxy with ruck craft training. On the surface of that he still seems quite engaged to me.

Even dumber is the fact that Capel sound is out in the bay

She was a general idiot but your response has reminded that there were spelling errors in the various self-congratulatory notices she had plastered everywhere

This going to hurt a few but this is the latest from Tom Brown

"According to sources, Tom Mitchell’s preference (if traded) is to join Collingwood.
Mitchell’s management has been in discussions with multiple, potential trade destinations over the past few weeks".

 

[cwoodgal]

Don't look at the Hawks board Ginni fans:

"Ginnivan+ 4th Rd İN
Mitchell+ future 2nd?? OUT"

"Gunston would be a huge loss, but I'd be delighted if we picked up Ginnivan."

"If the Pies are in a cap bind they will overpay for players without having to pay their salary. Titch for Ginnivan is obviously lopsided, but if they want a reliable mid and to keep Ollie Henry they have to do something. Throw in a swap of later picks and pay ~250k off Titch's contract and force their hand. Either they have a hole in their midfield with a young star that'll leave in two years when they don't have the cash to pay him, or they overpay to get talent on the list while remaining under the cap. From what actual ITKs have said here, Ginnivan isn't going to cost as much as we think and I reckon it could end up close to this."

LOL…….they wish. Ginni not going anywhere. The club would be mad to give him up. He’s ours.

Not concerned. It would be irresponsible of Tom and his team not to be sussing where the best place is for his future. Hopefully he lands here
