James Hird & Matthew Lloyd LIVE - Victoria Park Hotel | Albany Highway, Perth

idk if i got the add because i go to a quiz night there, but man what a great show to see...

Exactly... toxic, lazy...etc

 

[Rowan18]

I feel like Melbourne and Essendon (if Merrett leaves) could fall off a cliff next year. Richmond too if they start phasing out their veterans more in favour of youngsters

Hopefully we can climb up a few spots and avoid another spoon

If we're finishing bottom 4 then I'm happy to finish last and make the most of it. Ideally when we jump, it is up to 8-10 wins and into mid table.

Steven King at Melbourne

 

[Chris_6678]

Wonder if King had a talk with the leaders at the club to see what Clarry is really like.

 

[Shuestar13]

DEV!

To get better draft picks?

 

[Broken_Chairs]

Come on down big boi Dev - our saviour has finally arrived

 

[Deplorable trumpster]

I don't know what "due diligence" we can do with Starcevich. We don't know how much risk we are taking and we are not going to know. All we can do is limit our liability to something we can live with in the worst case scenario by amending the contract terms.

 

[WCEConnor23]

We might actually be competitive next year.. especially if Yeo can stay fit for 15+ games.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

Dev Rob is actually coming, for real this time

 

[jesterwester]

Cost himself a good 30 games off his career staying at Brisbane these last couple of years, did Dev.

But honestly, don’t mind him coming now. Bigger body to shield our developing crew, has shown at VFL level in the right role he can find the ball and is a defensively minded midfielder that our midfield group lacks at present. Could see him turning into our next Hutchings and be a really useful player for us.

May get overtaken in time, but right now the right age bracket and will get an opportunity with us he wouldn’t get at Brisbane.

I know he’s a bit of a meme here, but he played in a GF 2 years ago. You can’t blame him for making the decision he did.

Gossage was right all along he was just early

 

[Sammy J]

Dev the BBIMWBLF?

 

[WCE_4_EVER]

Come on guys
Dont act like your not jumping of joy hearing the dev news today

 

[ACT_EAGLE]

Oliver in terms of what is available for inside midfielders this trade period Eagles have to be looking at this. He is a senior body and gets away from Melbourne and his training and performance was better last year. I think if he is a 2nd or 3rd round pick that eagles have to look at this. Premiership success.

100% why i think he is needed.

If Trac is leaving, they may as well cash in on Oliver and properly rebuild before Tassie.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

King smart going full rebuild now before Tassie with a complete culture reset too.

Not sure what it means for his long term survival as coach but long term for the club it's the right move.
