[SLOWNE]

That last minute pitch from Nicks explaining that once he has served as Murphy's understudy for a few years, he will be best 23 must've got him over the line.

 

[Scorpus]

This is quite comfortably the best off season I can remember us having since we brought Eddie in

It was looking good for us back at the end of 2019 when we sacked Burton and Campo and we had our highest pick at the draft

 

[FR0GGY]

This is quite comfortably the best off season I can remember us having since we brought Eddie in

Finally might take ports off season flag!

 

[Trigger13]

Can someone please repost his highlights package so I can convince my port-supporting mate he isn’t shit.

 

[jackster83]

Nice to get a non-SA based target.

Both Peatling and Cumming were academy players for them too weren't they?

 

[Crow till I die]

Cant say we havent been aggresive this trade period

On SM-G996B using BigFooty.com mobile app

If we can escape now with our F1 in tact (and our pick 4 obviously off the table), we have done very well.

What about
Out Dangerfield

In Menzel, Gore ?

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

It was looking good for us back at the end of 2019 when we sacked Burton and Campo and we had our highest pick at the draft

I meant from a player aquisition perspective

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Losing both targets to Port would be a complete disaster and shows how undesirable we are.

So, this is looking a bit stupid now.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Both Peatling and Cumming were academy players for them too weren't they?

Yes

 

[Cyclonus]

I remember during finals the commentators would talk about Perryman likely moving and I'd think how it would be nice if the other P-surnamed player in Peatling was up for grabs. Then it turned out he was. And now he's coming. And Cumming. I might be, too.

 

[mickfaxis]

Stuff reaching an agreement with the Giants for Peatling. Take him for free from the PSD.

 

[Danger in Texas]

When was the last time we landed three best 22 players in the one trade period?

 

[jackster83]

What about
Out Dangerfield

In Menzel, Gore ?

Post reported.

 

[50BC]

There’s no compo for Himmelberg. We’re gaining Cumming as a FA, so can’t get any compensation for Berg.

Correct, there needs to be an overall net loss from free agency movements for compensation to apply.

 

[Cyclonus]

When was the last time we landed three best 22 players in the one trade period?

1991?

 

[119others]

Absolutely a great get and he still had to get the deal done, but it certainly helps to have cash to splash, be interesting to know what the contact is.

Good question. I reckon perhaps 600-700k. Your thoughts? We should still have a MASSIVE war chest even with these ins with years of (1) front loading longer contracts (Soli, Dawson, Rachele), and (2) still likely at the minimum in recent years so banking $

I reckon we would still have at least one, if not two big ins over coming years. BIG as in bigger than any of these 3 this yr

 

[Scorpus]

When was the last time we landed three best 22 players in the one trade period?

2002 with Carey, Burns and Torney

 

[George Kramer]

What’s the cricket Twitter knob have to say?

 

[Crow till I die]

wasn't it jenny61_99 that first mentioned on here something might be coming down the pipe re peatling?

No need to screw them as suspect they will be reasonable.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

When was the last time we landed three best 22 players in the one trade period?

Jenkins and Lynch in 2011 were immediate best 22 players, struggling to find a season in the 2000s with more than that though!

 

[StonesThrow]

I've seen less of him than Cumming. What's he like?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

When was the last time we landed three best 22 players in the one trade period?

When did we get Lynch, JJ & Seedsman?

There was a trade period where we brought in a few players, but we had exits too.

Been a long time!
