deal extremely closely.

The Dogs and others will know what the offers were so they will be watching very closely how this deal gets done from the cats.

Bevo said a fair bit recently about player managers and how hard it is for clubs to deal with some.

He hinted at threats from some agents and promises of seats at a table to discuss other players coming out of contract if they play ball with players wanting to leave.

Interesting that both BS and JM managed by the same stable have asked to be traded 24 hours apart.

Do we have any players managed by the same agents as Smith and Macrae? I think CJ might be from memory.

Just imagine having your team + it's system come on so well that it is able to halt midseason the chase of it's priority FA. I said it last week but I think our greatest challenge moving forward will be retaining everyone as others come with hug bags of $$$.

Barass became more of a priority

you create the environment and everyone wants to come, not leave.

The last few years has shown the significant majority of better FAs stay, not leave

 

[mustang]

To bad there isn't a way we can get
Brisbane 's first pick some how as they will need the points for Ashcroft.

If we could give our pick away for Barrass then set our sights on Brisbane's pick.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Can't see us using future first at all. That's needed for leverage for another star plus more next year.

I swear they've run that same article with different titles for three days. Must be slow with the clicks

Well Smith isn't a Free Agent. And I think we absolutely should be prioritising signing FAs because they cost nothing in draft hand so you bring them in and still draft a kid. We've signed 3 of the best Free Agents already in Battle, Nash and Hardwick and I think we're still in it for Perryman. No better way to improve your list.

Correct I should've said our main target

That's right, what price premiership reunions for life?

Think we need to put out feelers of a 2 year offer on good coin to Jake Stringer

After being so badly scarred by the D'Ambrosio trade you just know they will jump and then up their offer to keep him.

Which is exactly what we want!

NGL, you had me in the first half!

I was getting ready to go HAM! Goes to show the benefit of reading something in its entirety before going off half-cocked.

I look forward to this causing the Gold Coast having to let about 3-5 players go cheaply over the next few years because they've clearly gone overboard on one player again.

I really hope the AFL scrutinize this Bailey Smith

deal heavily with cotton on etc. Will they have the behind the scenes look at trade week and discuss this dodgy contract, that was done on Fox Footy

I hate to give credit to the NRL - but when the Storm salary cap debacle came out they owned it and took very harsh action which needed to happen. If the AFL found anything the Fagg's Mitre 10 would be sold out of brooms within minutes.

Love how the ONLY time we get mentioned is when we miss out on a player

Have you missed the Josh Battle talk all season? The talk about Tom Barrass? Harry Perryman speculation?
