Opinion Is Our Flag Window Shut?

[Johnny Karate]

10th place with 104%
Carlton, GWS, GC, Essendon all above us with the lists that are on the way up.
Hopefully reality is setting in

I’ve always said we should bring back the reality bus

The decision to not trade Oliver or Petty is probably the biggest mistake we’ve made in list management since passing on Dusty, and I’d argue it’ll end up being worse than that.

Yeah, I dont know how many times ive told you Mich0 Lamb does what the coach wants re:reruiting. If you want blame him for the dumb contracts however go right ahead, but im sure a lot of that has to do with the coach also. Goodwin wanted to build around Oliver, then he spat in his face for the past 2 years and still wanted to keep him when given an out last year. ****ing moron. He was the one who wanted to keep Petty also,

Goody got cucked by Oliver. hard.

we've been "blessed" apparently

 

[Fitz Fitzpatrick]

I think this thread can pretty much be closed tbh. Flag window is shut for the foreseeable future.

yeah its not a question anymore. unless we make it rhetorical for shits and giggles.

 

[Fitz Fitzpatrick]

Ooh oooh now tell me how many MCG finals we've lost in a row please

 

[Topkent]

Lol this new HTB rule is gonna be the final nail in our coffin. If there's alot more holding the balls there will be a lot less stoppages which means alot less of the only thing we are half decent at. Oliver and Viney will become even more passengers than before

We already thought about this by ensuring 80% of our players don't know how to tackle.

Any of u kents got some of that stuff DropBear is smoking? Got a long week at work, wouldn't mind tripping out imagining the entire Carlton roster is AA worthy during it.

****ing got us good

I think we can all agree that all of our issues will be fixed with a 55-45 win over Collingwood VFL on KB.

there's probably 10 wins max I've felt anymore than just a small sense of relief.

Two GREAT wins the past 3 weeks vs the super Saints and Collingwood reserves at the place where the grand final is played. Warming up nicely and timing our run to perfection.

Goody making sure that Flag window doesn't let a draft in

Not really. Petty, yes. Oliver? Look at his Wikipedia page. This year is a write off but he will be back next year. It’s the coaching that’s the issue. Not Oliver.

Living in the past is what got us in this mess, champ.

Oh ok, ‘sport’. One pretty average year from Oliver. Let’s throw the baby out with the bath water. If we are having the same conversation this time next year then I’ll grant you being correct.

Let's see, one year you say; but lets just consider the second half of 2022, and last year, where its as plain as the nose on anyone's face, that our off-field issues and attitudes stunk.

You think Oli wasn't a part of that stinking up.?

The whole club fell into an arrogant hole.
We wasted the past 2 seasons, which for us were crucial in our time-frame window.
And this season we can se in our inconsistencies, our list is struggling to maintain the hunger necessary to drive the standards which are required to be a true top 4 team.

Our A graders of the now is Gawn 32Yrs9mths; May 32Yrs4mths; Petracca 28Yrs4mths:..... then daylight

 

[SugarHealey]

Who is taking Oliver on that albatross of a contract? Answer: No one.

Why so negative.?

I think a few teams were asking last year, including Adelaide.
Some clubs need inside grunt. And imv, Oliver is stale.. needs a fresh challenge, elsewhere.
