[Mr MysteryGuest]

look at the state of these morons

 

[Crow till I die]

Twomey: George Stevens not being traded.

He is out of contract isn't he? if he is, they can't stop him

 

[pjcrows]

He is out of contract isn't he? if he is, they can't stop him

Not being traded to Adelaide.

 

[George CantStandYa]

He is out of contract isn't he? if he is, they can't stop him

He said we’ve shown no interest

 

[clinto69]

Pick 14 and 4 years at $1.7mill. I say do it! Pick 14 and Butts or Peds and 4 years at $1.7mill I'd still do it. We have a 3 or 4 year window open right now and we need to use it. Ah Chee and Trac will get us a step closer.

 

[PeterSalt]

Truth is the first casualty of trade wars

It's funny, i was just curious if there was anything about Ah Chee worth reading and came across this and pages of piss takes about various sightings of Petracca around WA today

Tweeter is well known troll apparently

Rowey really is top tier shit radio

 

[Crow till I die]

He said we’ve shown no interest

ahh fair enough

 

[Cromulant]

Rowe saying Petracca is in Perth meeting West Coast.

Next thing Jarman will come out and say he'll captain the Tassie VFL side.

 

[Slim258]

He said we’ve shown no interest

I have zero trust in anything Twomey says about Adelaide

 

[kirky]

So, you're comfortable with him gifting the first four goals to the oppo in a final?

Well thats the price you pay for someone being aggressive. Do you think Zorko had an impact in the rest of the game?

 

[Runnin Blue]

look at the state of these morons

I think they removed some brain cells when they installed Brad Johnson’s hair plugs.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Pick 14 and 4 years at $1.7mill. I say do it! Pick 14 and Butts or Peds and 4 years at $1.7mill I'd still do it. We have a 3 or 4 year window open right now and we need to use it. Ah Chee and Trac will get us a step closer.

I don't think we're in a window without a Charlie Curnow type replacing Tex.

 

[Peter Doherty]

You do have low expectations though, you were fine with 3 firsts straight up not that long ago.

Na, 3 firsts is too much.

2 firsts where one is almost in the 20s and something coming back is fine. Picks are overrated. We're not talking two 2 x top 10 picks.

 

[Hodgy]

Twomey: George Stevens not being traded to Adelaide.

He is out of contract so not up to Geelong to make that claim. He may have said he’s not leaving, but until he resigns with the Cats then he can decide to leave if he wants.

 

[Hodgy]

I don't think we're in a window without a Charlie Curnow type replacing Tex.

We have better key forwards than any of the last 4 premiers. Melbourne won with literally no one.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Confident of a good year again in 2026? If it's on par I am happy but if it a top 6 pick in a strong draft, not so much.

I think you have to assume we make finals. Gotta have some balls. Our squad is alright, we should be making finals. Petracca helps as well.

Yeah there's risk that we finish bottom and give away pick 1, I'm happy to take that risk.

 

[Scorpus]

Rowe saying Petracca is in Perth meeting West Coast.

I'm not adding this to the summary because I don't think it has any merit

 

[Peter Doherty]

Not with that bad contract

Yeah, that should be factored in. I'm not sure Melbourne have to clear money though.

 

[Cromulant]

Yeah, that should be factored in. I'm not sure Melbourne habe to clear money though.

With that squad you'd hope not

 

[Crow till I die]

I'm not adding this to the summary because I don't think it has any merit

Why not?, surely he would be doing due diligence on any clubs that have made enquiries and we don't know if WCE have or have not.

 

[Cromulant]

Sarcasm ??

Rowe's source is a Twitter post from a person who labels themselves "troller of the trolls"

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

He said we’ve shown no interest

C4 was wrong?

Scoop McClure?

 

[Crow till I die]

TBF i'd back C4 over most footy journalists with his intel.
