Alex mate, not only are you deluding yourself here champ, you already confessed on this account.

The posting frequency matches alex and the inane posting pisses me off the same way alex's posting did.

"Sell the farm" is the most overused term next to 'throw him under the bus' and 'it is what it is'

Steak knives surely.

Port will 100% keep pushing to move up the order. That's what today's comments trying to spook GC were all about

 

[Sanders]

Either you think i’m am idiot, or you really are a sandwhich short of a picnic but at no time have I ever known who this Alex person is.

Please find this so called confession?

Oh please do.

You’re the best Alex. You really are

 

[mattymac]

If my posting annoyes you that much. Put me on ignore.

You left an "L" out of your new username Alex

 

[El Doederino]

Mayes to Port Power will be done tomorrow according to Tom Morris.

He also is saying North will give 68 for Aaron Hall, a pick GC will not be using.

I don’t get it

Port last year went all in on players

Start of trade week they were all about jumping up the draft order

Now they’ll trade Wingard for a player they don’t want and doesn’t want them, and trade in another player who is a solid 6 out of 10.

 

[Sanders]

Find it?

My name is not Shapell Corby, I never confessed to something or someone I’ve never heard about.

I beg you. Find the confession.

Do you black out after your meltdowns? Forget everything and wake up in a young paddock not knowing who you are and how you got there?

Chad was a great player a few years ago. Really, really good player. Does he still have the motivation to push himself to be the best player he can be. To win premierships. Or will he be happy to just continue to coast on his talent.

We just got rid of Gov for apparently similar reasons to why Wingard is being shown the door. After what happened with Menzel I can see this potentially ending the same way.

This is my concern

 

[Hodgy]

Reckon pick 40-50 is fair value for Kelly

So we are now hoping for a pick for a required player, worse than the one we gave away in the Gov trade that everyone said didn't matter because we would never use it.
Sounds logical.

 

[Sanders]

Thanks.

You have nothing. Ignore list you go.

Oh Alex... you crazy, insane little blighter.

You're a sucker for punishment
Just scroll through the thread for tweets. You dont have to read the BS playstation trades then.

Godfather offer

Godfather offer

I would bet more than half the dorks that use this term ad nauseam haven't even seen the film

 

[Sanders]

No because it happens every day in every walk of life.

Wait for an official press release.

Don't take everything so serious.

Nah not everyday, only by a very special select few.

But sure it’s not as serious as life and fake death eh?

 

[xchadders]

Thread is derailed more than season 2018....

 

[arrowman]

I'll be glad to see him go. Got a bad feeling he's the next Mackay. Vanilla player that gets picked every week taking up a spot on the ground that should be reserved for some of our best players..

I've got a slightly higher opinion of him, but I'm quite OK with him going. Just so's we get something of value beyond a spare spot on the field. Any value. The Stengle pick, whatever. I suppose that'll come out in the wash.

 

[ATsince1973]

Trouble is ... how much longer can we keep doing this when Hamish eventually retires? Does Hamish have a Padawan in training?

​

Yes! Who develops the developers?

We need a league table of list managers & recruiters, and a separate televised trade week for trading these traders.

Then some of us will forget about actual footy and just follow this as a sport in itself.

Then someone will inevitably ask ... who develops the developer developers? And when can we trade the trader traders?

And then finally, eventually, Wed 7:30 will come, and we’ll figure have still a further month of speculation, and our heads will explode.

"We're really comfortable with where it's at"

 

[cammo6556]

That's not true at all... As of this morning, his family said he had no idea what was going on as the pies only seemed keen to keep him on a 50% pay cut.

 

[hey shorty]

Doubt it.

They were spooking them into not picking them. They dont really have much else to trade with. If/when they get 15 and Burton for Wingard they'll have almost filled their list again.

 

[TheVelourFog]

I feel like we could potentially be trading Kelly to Collingwood to try and get their 2019 3rd rounder to then give us the option of trading our 2019 1st this year. Otherwise I don't know what Collingwood have because I would be pretty annoyed if we traded a player like Kelly for a pick we wouldn't use.

 

[arrowman]

"Mature Conversation" .....is becoming the new "It is, what it is"

I like "it is what it is", I think it's a useful phrase.

I always type it in Tony Soprano's voice.

Rumour is that tomorrow will be a big day. Lots of discussions about players and pick swaps, none actually happening but Trade radio will discuss in detail the following items ad nauseum:
1. Why Freo are a joke and should be after Hogan
2. How Beams wants to go to Collingwood but will also see out his contract with Brisbane
3. Pick 5 will go all around the country and end up at GC
4. Steven May is not worth 5 but wthat will be his price
5. McDonalds have a new brekky burger called the Big-Mac. There's a big wrap on it at the draft but it could slide down and slip through the cracks
