Powa getting absolutely reamed if they even contemplate that madness. 2 time AA with 2 years on his contract.

They have a weak position. The AFL world know the draft rules and know ports predicament plus this is a strong draft year.

Ultimately port can decide to keep Houston and maybe they should have thought about it before racing to beat the crows to Luko with no trade capital

Sounds like it.

Would be nice to hear something soon. BnF this week, you'd think we would get some good news out in the lead up.

Jenny did say the senior assistant announcement would come this week

Peatling should choose this week, too, you’d think

 

[Peter Doherty]

This Jeff and Jenny mail, are these the only two proper bits of mail we have had all year?

It's come in a flurry.

No I posted ealier today that Brisbane will win the flag.

i was for this last year. not anymore. not worth it.

Said last post-season that if Dees are happy for him to go we don’t want to touch him. Biggest risk in the clubs trading history. I wouldn’t touch him after that season and his 1m x 6 left

And there you go…Cats wanting him. Plus B Smith

Such a joke

Surely they are only out due to $?

Clubs consider Clarry play, GWS eye Stringer, Giant calls loom

I don't recall ever seeing Peatling play for the Murray Bushrangers, I think they may have played together for the Giants Academy and in the then NEAFL but not at the Bushies? Jeffcrowe

Surely GWS are the best chance to retain?

 

[Brett Cummings]

Port getting mad that only one 1st rounder is being offered for houston.

Even though port didn't give up any high first rounders for a contracted JHF. What a ****wit of a club.

 

[119others]

Assume you mean willingness to spend rather than ability to spend?

Are they tho with limited game time ?

Pies might be out if they land Perryman, and I heard today Saints might also be out, and will he get the midfield minutes at WB?

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s between GWS and us

He’s a local pennant hills boy but he’s also tight with Nick Murray and Cumming

[aabp1978]

Oliver trade still interesting to me. Clearly huge off field issues, but if you get it right......

Guess it all depends on how much of his salary you have to take on really...cant imagine what the pick would be (1st rounder off the table given the salary and issues?)

Ginever reckons pick 2 and a 2nd rounder for Houston or no deal.

GWS Social Media Staffer ?

Have we hit the point of being classified as being aggressive this trade period

Have you found the quote of Nicks being the major factor in GWS making the GF?

Google still unavailable it would seem.

Well they have offered him a 3 year contract and he is a Sydney boy thru their Academy. Well settled in Sydney with a very successful club etc

All I am saying is we can’t discount the fact he may stay and is using multiple other clubs interests to materially boost his next contract. Wouldn’t we all be doing the same thing if we were him?

 

[119others]

Either I guess

Can’t imagine its ability to spend for either

On SM-G996B using BigFooty.com mobile app

I think they'll try a future pick to GC for Luko.
They badly want in on this 1st round talent. "We're missing out"

Should have thought about that and planned, not inviting clubs to sit on Santa Kenny's lap and hand out draft picks like candy every year.
