Ultimate Glory 2023 Trade speculation and Shinbeggars discussion

[tl92]

How long ago did RNL confirm this plz?

Feels like weeks ago but I suspect it was only a few days ago. we can’t hold him to it but suggested it was done.

No idea how to do that

So either that poster who got laughed at on here for saying there was a Lyon/Henry link was dead on and is owed some apologies - or Twomey has just been lurking here to write articles. Could go either way.

Cheers Ned. Mail has been a bit hit and miss TBH this year but this was as confident as you could get regarding going to the Saints and the reasons behind it.

GOTO search and type his name in By: section then press search

At the bottom of the last post you will find a box on the right hand side marked "threadmarks" click on it and from the drop down select the RNL Mckay post

30th of Aug was the last update.

Gotta remember I'm pretty confident last year we didn't get updates from him until GF weekend so we're already in the red imo.

With any luck we'll get another this week or next but I'm not sure we're going to be as active in the trade space as we were allegedly trying to be last year.

A bit more hype around Mckay, another taster on the A-grader, a hint of another first rounder and I'll be stoked!

What Trump card?. More money?. LOL there desperate to get McKay to the AFL lovechild by the sounds of it. You rekon fans and other clubs would basically start to turn their noses at Sydney if this continues unabated year on year. There's keeping Sydney relevant because of the NSW market and than there is trying to buy them flags by allowing them to price every club out of the market for players. It's a joke.

Forking out the $$$ to live in any surrounding Sydney suburb close to Moore Park is ridiculous. Getting into the city is nowhere near as smooth as Melbourne due to everything being built around the harbour so you'd think most players are living right in the city or just outside it so no matter how you spin it playing for the Swans costs a fortune when purchasing a house or an apartment with renting likely even worse.

Wait a minute… might he be able to… LIVE AT THE SCG??? Problems all solved!

Brilliant. Never knew about them until now.

Don’t hold your breath on the apologies - very few willing to concede they got it wrong.

RnL posted on Aug 30. I did not take it quite as explicitly as some.
“ Might be best to start planning with Big Ben in the backline” * as of today.
Could mean we are planning to play Ben King

in defence or draft Benny Hill as a cat B rookie.
Anyway I took it that we are into Mackay and in with a chance but will wait until the fat lady sings.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

saying they have no idea where McKay is playing next year.
RoughNLove said it is done to us, so maybe McKay is waiting for North's B and F before he makes it public

Between us and the Bombers What incentive is there to go to Essendon if there not offering more money. They play at Marvel and there's huge doubt there ahead of us when it comes to playing finals. There's money involved yes but he's also looking at who is looking the goods the next few years too. Dodo puts prospective players off let's be honest. Blokes strike rate is horrific.

This is our trump card apparently

Please at least let it be to Sydney?

I'm honestly happy with this tbh. Neither him or Rat are an upgrade on what we have imo.

 

[hawkmang]

Thanks for updated anyway RnL, at least we can stop pretending McKay isn’t bog average again. Any updates on other possible ins/outs?

 

[f4zz]

But they are not upgrades. They play roles where we don't have anyone. We need a full back.

god damn it

 

[Hawk the Talk]

Time to go real hard at getting another pick inside the top 10.

 

[f4zz]

Feels like we are just going to hit the draft and trade a couple out.

 

[Hawked Wings]

Sounding like we are 12 months off being really attractive and that’s fine, let him go to the dons who haven’t won a final in 20 years.
I guarantee we win one before they do

 

[Blackhawk42]

Horrible year for out of contract players. Bad timing for us if we did indeed want to be active in the trade space.

I suspect we'll back in the majority of our current list and look to get involved in the first round of the draft again like we did last year.

Thanks R&L. Any news on the A grader that was potentially coming?

I think that was the Bailey Smith news that came and went a week or so ago...
