Can we pick him up?

He will need to be delisted by Essendon and not retired, changing the method of exit from them. But that's entirely on them to do that and they gain nothing for it.

If they don't he nominates for the draft and nobody picks him up.
If they do delist him go straight to being eligible for the SPP and midseason drafts.

Then we leave a rookie spot open and he trains with us and can sign him before about March 9th.

It's funny because their list manager seemed pretty pissed that the deal didnt get done
Yeah, like he desperately wanted that North future 2. Interesting how they gave up Corbett so easy but held firm on Sharpe. It must be tough being gold coast. Their picks aren't worth as much as everyone else because nobody wants to stay.
 
Bugger me!

You take eight short hours away from this thread on a Wednesday, and come back to a far shorter team than you had previously, a whole new midfield threat, and 60 additional pages of posts.

I can't be stuffed reading all that, and there's probably very little that hasn't been said already, so let's keep this short shall we?

MEEK: Sorry to see you go mate, sorry you didn't get more chances. Thank you for everything you did for the club. Good luck in your future career of apparently being covered with a neat arrangement of vertically-oriented piss and poo every week.

O'MEARA: Bugger me - where did you come from? And what the hell are you doing here???

Oh we drafted you, you say?

Oh... well...

...that's all right then. (I think?)

Congratulations on escaping your former career being continually clad in piss and poo, and welcome to our greener, purple-clad, and far more promising pastures.

LOBB:

...yes...

..well...

What can I say?...

...thank you for the times when you actually did stuff that helped us,

...thank you having the worst haircut the world has seen since Vanilla Ice lost his bottle of bleach back in the 90's,

...thank you for leaving it till virtually the last moment to earn your over-inflated, forward-loaded pay-check,

...thank you for having Col as an agent -- always a memorable experience,

...thank you for bailing on us all one year early, before you actually had to keep to your promise to accept a lower wage for once,

...thank you for being a passable KPF for most of a single solitary season,

...thank you for choosing a future home for yourself conveniently a bloody long way away from our current ones,

...and thank you finally Lobby dear, for being so accommodating as to turn tail and f*k off into the distance at the earliest opportunity (you mobney-grubbing disloyal little ******) -- you just saved me all the effort involved in telling you.

...Gekko71 OUT!!

(mike drop)

...phew.

Don't mind me folks - but seeing as that's off my chest, and that trade season is done and dusted, I'm heading off-boards for a while to write dirty jokes about non-purple-clad footy teams that are heavy on satire, sexual innuendo, bad taste, mad scientists, randy blondes, crazy-eyed miniature former ruckman and a seven-feet tall, barely functional, footy-playing cadaver (...and no I don't mean Lobb).

If you care to read the end result of my labours, please play close attention this-aways...

This is a good day for our club. I’m very happy with the list heading into 2023. Wasn’t much more we could have done.
Got rid of toxic elements in the club and brought in 3 guys that are genuinely enthusiastic about playing for freo. There’s a lot to be said for that.
How many Young managed clients did we lose? That needs to be factored in as a gain every day.

You have assumed responsibility

can I let him out yet?
 
Just at the conclusion of today's trade they had the Essendon list manager saying that they're still hopeful McDonald-Tipungwuti will choose to play for Essendon when he comes back.

Said that AMT indicated that he wanted to play AFL again, so Essendon are trying to convince him to play for them again before they have to make any decision about delisting him so that he can play for another club.
