'That's beautiful Cumming.....DELICIOUS' - Bruce McAvaney

I think “Salmon goes upfield to Sporn”

Was about as crass as Bruce got, all class

Disgusting. Foul.

Mail from my source ;

Cumming - been into him for 2 years we’re close to front of queue for his signature

Tim English - words were “if Beveridge is coaching at the WBD next year, don’t be suprised if English is at West Lakes “ decent chance that happens

 

[skam85]

whoooooosh

 

[Crows I Am]

I think the Cumming deal is unlikely. We sent Reid and Hombsch to Sydney to meet with the player and his agent but he didn’t turn up until an hour after the meeting started. Reidy had to text him somewhat pissed off asking, “Jack, u late?”

So we are close to cumming?
It’s a great spot to be in…

Don't go too early.

Gave me Rankine and Dawson months before announced

Got a bum steer on Brennan Cox due to Freo upping offer massive at last minute

 

[El Doederino]

Jack Hombsch was late, or Isaac Cumming was late?

Jack was late

Rumour has it that Zak Butters may be traded back to Victoria THIS YEAR! Might be all Port need to get a good pick or 2 and jump start their rebuild..... let's hope it's not true as I actually don't rate him that highly.

Not good if Port get a top 5 pick and Phillipou

Zero chance of that happening their midfield is their only strength and it does not run deep at all. They’d have to bank on 3 years out of the finals if they traded “ I can’t believe it’s not” as their midfield would be on par with their forward line as easy to shut down”

Sorry Bunj … you don’t rate Butters? Really?

sorry can you speak English, that was only half the story

 

[Crow till I die]

I know what you mean BUT, its 1 in 1 out. Butters is only behind JHF as their most damaging player when on form so losing him will hurt them so replacing him with a Phillipou is more or less treading water. I wonder if they hope to get more than just a top 10 pick for Butters to get in 2 players if that as on the money.

Why would English come here? He's from WA isn't he?

If we finish below the Saints - and there is every chance - then it won’t matter. Butters is a gun. Better than Rozee. I’m f they get Phillipou as well - that’s a couple of big egos in that midfield

Freo have ruckmen, WCE have a long rebuild ahead?

 

[Trigger13]

Butters leaving for Phillipou and a pick isn’t ‘jumpstarting’ a rebuild…it’s setting them back. Butters is an absolute ****n gun. Would be a MASSIVE loss. End of story.

 

[haydo]

GET HIM BACK TO WEST LAKES!

 

[Geoffa32]

Yes… I get it

Unfortunately you may have a few wins left in you… this week, Hawthorn at home. Bulldogs at home possibly also, if they are out of the running by then. Before you even get to the game against Port Power.

If he plays the youth in the remainder, then that’s something…

Sadly, I can see us winning 4 of the last 6.


I don't care about the draft pick "loss", but pissed off at the wastes season and we start playing good Footy once expectation of making Finals is gone.


Like last year.

The overall loss is negligible. Upside is massive.

It would be a smart trade by Port.

Where’s it been suggested Phillipou and Saints first pick?
