Port will be devastated...no top 10 pick for them after trying to shove him outProbably for the best for the Dees

Mate, totally off footy, who is your avatar - I was thinking Francis Awaritefe from the old NSL days?I was worried Dees were gonna over pay and Port grab some guns.
Get a feeling it’s one of those situations where Houston started to make clear he wanted a trade, Port got excited about getting pick 7, plus Perryman as a FA to replace him… then Houston out of nowhere wants to stayPort will be devastated...no top 10 pick for them after trying to shove him out
What about Tex?
isn't that Oliver's problem?Oliver put on ice for the rest of the season now too.

Kind of like what RankineBest player in the comp at the +1 role at stoppages, it’s a niche role because most teams prefer a +1 in defence.
Murphy is a high forward that comes into stoppages as an extra mid. Not to be confused with guys like Keays and Rachele that play forward of the stoppage. Murphy just sucks at his role, ANB is way better he plays that role to a tee for Melbourne and doesn’t just hack kick the ball. Nicks loves a +1 at stoppages so ANB is as good a player as we can get in that role.
Some of them have change their tone over there and want Lukosius after missing out on getting back in this quality draft lol.I was worried Dees were gonna over pay and Port grab some guns.
Better to have Rankine and ANB than Rankine and MurphyKind of like what Rankine
No doubt.Better to have Rankine and ANB than Rankine and Murphy
The mystical thought that Murphy is a pressure forward, maybe he has hoodwink Nicks as well lol and this is taking into account Rankine has played in the midfield as well.No doubt.
I actually think people are giving Murphy too much credit. His role is a pressure forward, but he doesn't kick goals.
He runs back to help with defence is the other thing he does, mostly because he can't kick goals.
What kind of mail are we talking? Crowmail? Or other team mail?As odd as it sounds, Goodwin coming out today and saying "Clayton Oliver and Christian Petracca will be at the footy club next year," almost feels like a CEO/President saying the "coach has the full support of the board"... Almost meaningless.
I'm waiting on some VERY reliable mail for Oliver.
Thing is, Murphy’s not even a top level pressure player. He averages .1 pressure acts more per game than Rachele. He’s classified as ‘average’ across forwards in the leagueNo doubt.

Agree but with Nicks, it's not actually the result, impact or outcome that counts.The mystical thought that Murphy is a pressure forward, maybe he has hoodwink Nicks as well lol and this is taking into account Rankine has played in the midfield as well.

Davies/Cripps: “Ohhhh…. welcome back Dan ”
Can we get the knee pads from Rehn?Going to have to really manage this bloke’s knee going forward.

Not sure if this is the right thread, however I listen to the footy with broken Kelly podcast and he mentioned that there are rumours Darren Burgess is heading back to Melbourne.
I’ve heard nothing and a quick google search only has one herald sun article which was behind a paywall. However, Broden is hardly in the business of news breaking so I figure it must be common knowledge if he’s talking about it.
Any substance to this?

He was Never a diehard Pear fan. Source - M Phillipou.Should we be concerned that he was a die hard pear fan growing up? And the fact the scum are after him too? Going to be interesting to see how things pan out over next few years considering both SA clubs are very keen on Poo and NWM. Hence why I wouldn’t be handing much over for Jack the downhill skier. We need collateral for gettable top tier players.
Yep. Nominated Essendon, couldn’t get done and then nominated Collingwood the following year. I can’t be arsed copy and pasting the articles to show you.
Safe to say we’ve established that players don’t nominate states or cities to be traded to. They nominate a club and then it is up to the two clubs to hash out a deal. Any contract promised to the player by their new club is largely irrelevant
Is it safe to say? I don't think its all that safe to say.
Especially when a bloke named Alex Neal Bullen - publicly declares he wants to be traded back to Adelaide at the end of the year.
This is the exact thing I am talking about. ANB has said he wants to return to SA for family reasons. Now he talks with 2 clubs and negotiates the best deal for him before nominating his preferred club.
I’m confused. So it’s not safe to say he will nominate a club to be traded to?Is it safe to say? I don't think its all that safe to say.
