  is possibly back on the trade table, but doesn't link him to any specific clubs

 

[Mutineer]

IF the Club has announced the change in role for Burns .....that means they already have their man

Did I miss the club's announcement, can't seem to find it on the website?

 

[jenny61_99]

So it could be complete bogus

Yep could be. I guess I’m more just hopeful thinking because I’m not a fan.

 

[CrouchPowa]

Hardly.

It has only existed on this board.

Speaking on AFL Media’s Gettable, journalist Callum Twomey reported the plethora of clubs interested in acquiring the 24-year-old out.

“The Demons, the Western Bulldogs, Collingwood, St Kilda and West Coast have also been in the market for him,” Twomey revealed.

“There’s still a chance he stays… that one’s going to be a bit of a trade period shaper.”

It's an invention of BigFooty, and stand by for everyone to be upset when we don't get him.

The fact the crows are having a go is it least positive.

 

[PeterSalt]

Scorpus I don't mean to be pedant here, but anyone can have a verified account on twitter if they gift Elmo $8 a month

TBF - that account is fairly random anyway

 

[hippyhippy]

Sloane and Dawson met with Peatling this week

Probably ready been discussed

Thank god they didn't send Nicks

Carlton sending McKay to the power

I should post this on twitter to see if @7Adelaide pick it up

 

[johnnypanther]

Might have been a general enquiry .....if you watched Parfitt this year, he wasn't in the greatest shape .....maybe a lack of commitment was behind his delisting

In his current frame of mind ....a firm no for me

Parfitt seems to have had a big fall from grace between February this year and now:

https://nit.com.au/07-02-2024/9660/geelong-teammate-tips-parfitt-to-explode-in-2024
"7 Feb 2024 — Geelong superstar Patrick Dangerfield is predicting a big season from fellow midfielder Brandan Parfitt in 2024"
"Brandan Parfitt has had a fantastic pre-season, he looks really good running on top of the ground," Dangerfield told the Geelong Advertiser.

"His inside work, I feel like he is ready to really explode."

on a deal rival contender Adelaide believes is seven years at $1 million a season.

This is what Jon ralph is reporting.

I guess he's not a salary cap trade anymore

That is truly lol worthy if true.

Or was that Rowe that mentioned the role change with Burns ?

No way they'd be paying that.

I already posted the link with Rooch.

Isn’t it the old 700-750 with the cap going up 30%

 

[chrisso crow]

Big test for Nicks

The feel-goodery and matey stuff needs to end at some stage. It's one thing to repair the culture and it does need seem to be a happier place than when he started. However there's surely an appetite for some success now and some impatience creeping in.

Will he and his coaching staff be prepared to make hard, internally-unpopular calls?

He hasn't really shown that he has that in him at this stage. No delistings as yet this year when there are some obvious calls.

Also the fact that our senior players are still regularly getting games despite their form not warranting it.

To me from the outside, Nix appears to be too chummy with the players which is making it hard to make these tough calls that a ruthless club (and likely more successful) club would make.

Nice to see us putting out estimates on what other clubs are paying players. Don't care if it's factual - helps drive the narrative that they are badly overpaying and we have been sensible in contrast.

Probably on business/visiting someone

Yeah probably doing exactly that. I wouldn’t have thought too many Melbourners holiday in Adelaide though. Definitely better places to take your missus for a getaway.

My post was tongue in cheek but I did see him in the city tonight

 

[Crowbling]

Luko is an easy pass at that price. Gold Coast should be commanding top dollar at the trade table.

Could be coming to have chat with Houston... (ala Dawson/Sloane chatting with Pealting?)

 

[spenze]

Yep

He will be a great get - no-nonsense and straight shooting type of guy.

Tactically smart but bit old school about him…. He will be pretty direct with feedback to the players

Young guys may not be use to his direct style


On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

As long as he is not doing it in public...

 

[spenze]

North still have the option of splitting that pick and they'd have clubs queued up to get it.

Do we really know how bad Houston wants to get home. I'm not buying the happy to stay bullcrap.?

His girlfriend moved over to Vic a bit back, depends on how naggy she is to how much he wants to stay
