I know it’s early days, but is Peatling who we hoped Pedlar would become ?

There would seem to be some overlap in characteristics and deployment, and also with Schoenberg in a three way venn diagram

 

[Carmo]

sick of that shit .. I love Izak and he's always in the game .. but f*ck our coaches who can't be bothered trying to look after him

WTF?
According to the AFL the head is sacrosanct.
Yet we continually get concussed players in games against those f's.
Where are the AFL and it's umpires at, they're meant to take charge and dish out frees everywhere against clubs being stupidly aggressive these days?
Guarantee any two other clubs and they get paid flat out. But the AFL don't like AFC and they look after PAFC cos they're sick of paying tarp subsidies, so we get BS treatment.
Then some of our supporters have the gaul to blame the club and in doing so lick the boots of the AFL that's ever shafting us.
Get with the times.

Top of their list very good. Bottom is utter garbage

The hornet , butters, rozee and Houston are elite

Wines, drew, Bergman and Burgoyne are jets

Rioli if he is allowed off the leash

Sweet came on

Rest of the team is autofilled and they made a prelim…

Allir Allir is an elite defender and All Australian caliber. Georgiadas kicked 44 goals from 20 games and is still only 23. Pairing him with Luko gives them two very good Forwards for that midfield to kick to.

 

[Floating Doughnut]

Essendon fire sale!

Looks like they’ll be stuck with “The Package” though. A distinct lack of interest from other clubs there.

Confucius say : take bikie mates into change rooms leave toss bag with no suitors.

Would have to be one of the lowest IQ’s on a footy field.

 

[croweater 41]

NM should fold if they involve pick 2 in a Houston deal.

I said it early on I think North would split 2. Freo is the obvious one but then they are committed to Bolton and pick 2 seems steep for him unless there was something going back with Bolton.

I don’t see Power holding pick 2 but possible what remains of pick 2. And to be fair there should be some animosity towards Power from North so I don’t think they’d hand over 2 even if they kept it.

Watch the show on Stan “Show me the Money” season 2 features the JHF trade
NM weren’t pissed at Port they were happy to just part ways in the end and get best haul they could

Wines is not a jet.. anymore. Bergman will be in the elite category next year.

 

[Freshj]

I had been told he had decided to sign on with GWS. And as I said, it's not my usual source of info so take it with a grain of salt, but I think if GWS were pressuring him to make a decision and nothing was mentioned at the BNF, it does seem likely he doesn't stay.

That or he simply won't be pressured to make a choice until he's 100% comfortable and will sit on it another day or two.

Hope my Intel is wrong and we manage to snag him!

Pumped that this was incorrect!

 

[fossilllCrow]

Anyone want to speculate any more trades or plans we might have up the sleeve? A close to ready ruckman would be elite. Fantastic we have kept all our first round picks still for this and next year.

 

[whattagun07]

Edmund on SEN just got off the phone and believes the Oliver to Geelong has fallen over. Melb have decided it's too hard and will announce Clarry is staying.

 

[skittlebrew]

How do people still not understand how trading future picks works or Free Agency for that matter restricted, unrestricted, compensation and the rules around it?

Frankly I'm too lazy to learn

Not ready made but Dodson is a target in the draft
Don't be shocked to see us trade our F1 on the night to get him

Would love that, icing on the cake sort of stuff.

Justin Reid should be on the phone now offer a bargain basement deal

 

[daniel_4tw]

Cummings, Peatling and ANB should all get done for 2 second rounders.

I could see our F1 being used for someone now we’re not getting Luko. Who else we targeting?

 

[Viva la Mattner]

If that Clarry to Geel isn't happening

60, F2, F3 for ANB and Clarry we take 70 % of his salary

 

[pjcrows]

Oliver will be at Geelong.

I think the issue is Melb are hellbent on being compensated with decent draft picks. I think they'd probably be willing to pay a couple of hundred K but not a big portion of the contract, as long as they get good picks in.
Other teams are sniffing for a bargain but it's not forthcoming
It's like seeing a $1000 RRP item at a garage sale for $950. No one is buying that.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Really interesting the power being into Sid .. does this mean they've accepted Butters is heading home?

It could be, given the lad has openly admitted he’s a massive crows tragic, that the power know their best chance to get Draper is this year..

Cause if he goes to West Coast or Norf.. they know when he decides to return home that the crows will have an edge.

Massive crows tragics arent big port fans after all..

Not going to get decent picks from the Cats as they will be needed for Smith who they are committed too.

Cumming is a FA.

Means we get nothing for Berg leaving.

Cummings is an UFA..

He costs us nothing. No picks

Well, unless Butters leaves this year there's no chance Power get Draper.
