[#6 Thorp #7 Selwood LOL]

If we only scored McKenna it would be a massive win. Would be best 22 and cost peanuts. Yes please.

Really? I have not seen him play much at all. Who does he replace?

 

[tenderwarrior]

It'll be interesting what we do now, I still think we're after a plug in and play mid.

Bruhn is not that player yet.

Matt Crouch?

 

[dangerwood]

My point is no one would know a direct sauce inside the club who would have a genuine idea.
Sure people can have sources, but they would be sources of sources and it’s just like Chinese whispers.
There are very few who are right on here, even going back many years to the mystery mid.

I could say now we will draft a mystery forward and in 3 years time say that’s who it was.

My point is some people on here do have direct sources and information on trades often turns on a dime.

There's some who have mates of cousins etc but some are directly linked.

I suppose it doesn't matter because amongst the facts there's so much speculation that no-one can tell what infos true but direct sources use big footy.

One Irishman for another I suspect..

Yep that tracks. Tuohy to GC?

 

[Commando]

I feel players are mentioned by management as Geelong targets because it prompts clubs to be interested or increase offers

The old George Costanza “you realize im Penski material” springs to mind

 

[Moley Russels Wart]

Honestly most wouldn't have any contacts

Cal Twomey is the only one with any creedence. Doesn't make a call unless he knows for sure, everyone else is just making daily clickbait when nothing is really changing day to day, but they got to pump out something

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Matt Crouch?

He'd be a bet negative at our point in list management. He'd just get in the way of developing kids

 

[rocker_oz33]

Pop quiz hot shot.

No Hopper for us.

Oh, I dont want him. Just thinking of plug and play mids on the table..

Rumour was we have now spoken to Parish but I'm not sure how I feel about that one.

He could be anything .
If he bust out of the stoppage insteed of useless 30cm Handballs he could be a real weapon.

Better than Hopper .

Like the idea of Parish but don’t like that Essendon seem to play better without him in the guts.

2E

I'd take Parish all day every day over Hopper.

I have a gut feeling that Bruhn would prefer the big smoke and city lights of a melbourne based club... I'm not sure he wants back to his hometown.

I'm talking about people who post things on heresaying they have reliable source

John Ralph said yesterday. His preference is to play in Melbourne not Geelong.

He did say that’s not final but doesn’t sound like it’s been his life long dream to play for the Cats.

 

[Stokey]

With the Bombers being such a basket case I think we should make a play for Parish. He'd be one really good player in our system.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Last year Essendon coming up the ladder seemed to be all about him playing in the guts. Again, I still doubt know how I feel mostly because Dodoro will want some form of blood sacrifice to go with his 6 first round picks. Too biblical.

 

[_Game_]

I would be sad to lose 2E to GC. Seems like one of those guys that is just good to have around the club. And has played a few very good games this year.

It would be, but on the same token the only reason I could see him wanting to go to the Suns is if it was part of a coaching gig. We should not hold him back from that if that's the case

Not dissimilar to Adams & Dev Smith

Hopefully Dodo gets sacked before trade week though.

 

[Turbocat]

But does it. Pies are playing for a PF. Tigers have Dusty and Lynch on big money, but they are going for Taranto and Hopper. Giants are being hit but they made a GF and matched Cameron when their cap was out the window.
Melbourne are going for Grundy when they have a number of players on big long term contracts.
It ends up with lower clubs being forced to pay big money for B graders, otherwise their fans see them as doing nothing to stay competitive.

Backending is a factor but I think there are many other that affect things as badly or worse.

Sharing of salary cap is another. Players taking less than they are worth is another. Lots of affects on equity in the system.

 

[Strange Cat]

Hope not he’s worth a good laugh over the trade period, but from a club perspective he’s a nightmare to work with
