Err, not exactly. He may have become a bit more discrete about it.

I'll take Sam Davidson, just cos.

Both of them are not up to it. No point splitting hairs.

That’s massively over rating Gardner.

Would love to see it, but that seems like wishful thinking. If the club thought he had AA in him they wouldn't have let him go.

From what I heard from a LOLNorf insider, Taylor needs a major attitude reset before any AFL club would / should take him.

The premier league is a directly relevant comparison as it is a also a professional sports league. Maybe the construct is different in that there is no salary cap, draft, they have promotion / relegation etc. But it is also a high performance sports environment. If you don’t like that as a...

Yeah nah. Unfortunately there is no room for sentiment. This is not a suburban footy league any longer. Take a look at the premier league. The teams at the top push out great players every year as soon as performance dips and that’s why they stay at the top. Insisting we hold onto players...

And the media are somehow reporting that we are trade period losers. WTF? We got rid of Smith and got something in return.

This could be a Leon Cameron moment for them. Something they might regret in hindsight

That was the price for taking JUH and Darcy. Used up our entire draft hand on 1 player two drafts in a row. Worth it, yes. But these are the consequences.

This thread needs a new name and updated rules - only posts expressing outrage are allowed.

Do you know something or are you speculating?

It’s ok Scrag, you’re not the only one eating boogers. Trade period will do that to a man.

Kane Kornes disagrees. He would like it to go for eighteen days so he can dedicate one day to each club about piss poor their trading is, how bad their list manager is, etc

Go Sammy Power! he might as well just said JSTFU, you aint part of the deal making.

except mega trades never happen

If we can turn Macrae, Smith, JUH?, and potentially Caleb into: Butters, XOH, Peatling, pick 7, 15 and a bunch of 2nd / 3rd round picks in a deep draft. Losing pick 8, F1 and some other picks then Sammy Power will have done a rebuild on the run. Could be the off-season of all off-seasons.

Here are a few reasons (are many of them are historical, not necessarily still valid today) and this is not an exhaustive list: Our facilities used to be incredibly poor, in all seriousness rats were literally crawling around Footscray cricket club (being a district club) used to have...

…and to think the trade window hasn’t even opened. Where is this Board going to be by 16 October..

It could be a pick they don’t currently have. If the other deals involve pick swaps…

I am surprised that he didn’t argue that Fagan is under pressure due to his age, being the oldest coach ever to win a premiership. Speculating that he is in cognitive decline given the players had to give him a hand up during the cup photos. It is the sort of shit he comes up with.

O'Halloran is an upgrade on McNeil, VDM and maybe a couple of others. Worth getting on the list if the price is right. And if people want to talk about signing depth players, then O'Halloran is a much better choice than some delisted free agent spud.

what difference does it make? We need to be more ruthless if we want to win. There is good reason for that list to have moved on.

Jack Mac and CD are not AA calibre any longer.

Bailey Williams, Bailey Dale and CD himself all say hi.

And he is on chunky coin. 40 About right for a player who is now on the fringes.

But we also put a bid in at the draft on Fletcher as a FU to the Bears.

I agree it is a horrible way, but it is the reality of how it is done. Pick 20 and 40 values him at the equivalent of 11. Not at all, it depends on which picks are part of the deal. If we had a father / son nomination, then we maybe satisfied with that. But bot in this case.

Yep. Pick 15 and 35 values him at the equivalent of pick 8. We got the equivalent of pick 3 for Dunkley. So, it is not far off what we will end up with.
