I bloody hope we don't do this. IF we do then give up no more then Pick 48 at the very most

Don't get me started on her!

Won't happen as Dekka has already come out and said that Levi Greenwood will play a number of roles for us next season including those run with roles. I assume he'll be used in place of Caff early on where needed, probably playing a little looser and then we let some of our youngsters like JT and Adams pick up the Beams and Ball slack.

What would people think about getting Shaun McKernan in on a rookie contract? Have him there as backup for Witts and Grundy? Will effectively replace Hudson.

The difference is that Hudson is/was a good solid ruckmen. Mckernan is horrible, shocking career, the only team that would touch him is the Bulldogs because they have very few talls, he could team up with Ayce Cordy and we could all have a good laugh

Yes she is and she's not a journalist

She's a self proclaimed blogger that reports incorrect and bullshit information in regards to AFL and she has a head for radio.

Just my opinion anyway mate but I don't begrudge you if you're that way inclined - the one you knock back is the one you never get I say Dave!

Can't wait for 2PM. Hopefully I never hear Taylor hunts name on this board again.

Apparently Cooney was impressed with the standard, variety and free range pharmaceuticals available under the Bombers medical programs.

Good decision by him for someone so dependent on an injection to play a game of football.

It happened long time before the last day though

 

[MAGPIE2013]

maybe hine all ready had scenarios with 5 planned out. it looks like all the major deals have been done, so now it is just about dealing with draft picks as they will take a lot less time as opposed to dealing with bringing in players where you have worry about producing a satisfying contract

 

[NT.Thunder]

Real shame to hear the Bombers world falling apart - Just don't know how to celebrate this!

 

[Cata_Pendles]

pick 5 + brown to st kilda for pick 1? I'd love brown to stay as we need experience but would also love petracca wishful thinking but just putting it out there

Allegedly they offered him an injection that would turn his dodgy knee into the Bionic Mans Knee!

Again this is "allegedly" what got the deal over the line

 

[TradeDraft]

in a heartbeat

Saints would want more I reckon and last year they got 2 KPD in Delaney and Bruce last year

 

[mattys123]

Essendon and North Melbourne loading up with older players, amazing really when Port, the Swans and the Hawks are still so strong.

 

[manicmagpie]

So far in his trade period we've seen change hands (by rough count):

1 Brownlow Medallist
1 Club Captain
2 former No. 1 Picks
1 former No. 2 Pick
1 Father/Son
5 All Australians
4 Premiership players with 5 Premiership Medallions between them
3 Best & Fairest winners with 5 wins between them

Fair to say this has been the most eventful trade period ever, and it's not even finished yet.
