Charming. And no he’s 31 with 3-4 more than solid years left. Show some respect, he’ll be the best player on your list next to Sheezel and LDU.
Your work experience kid is trying to impress Beatson he is a tough negotiator. Deal should have been done last week for #45 as a sign of respect for all parties involved.

He would then have had plenty of time to look 👀 for other players (aside from Parker) who don’t have diarrhea problems in GF’s 😎

I do not believe for a second we were ever really a legitimate shot. Port merely kept us around as a bargaining chip and because they knew if it ever really came to it they could and would get us to pay overs.

Unless a player can commit to us they probably aren't coming. I mean that has to be the overwhelmingly likely outcome to anything we put forward.

I mean right now we have a bloke that wants to come to us and we still haven't been able to get that deal done.

Instead we are focussing on what? A bloke who is slow short and kicks the ball sideways? Who hasn't nominated us.

I am sure that bringing in quality talent would force us through this quicker. I am almost certain that we are never going to be in a position to do that. Bigger clubs will always be more attractive to player managers. and we are hardly an attractive prospect on field for any player.

Our way out is to continue to build through the draft which means more pain.
Building through the draft does not lead to success.
Its a numbers scenario.

You are only meant to get 1 first rounder in once a year and you need to build a list of what? at least 8-10 of them minimum to challenge for a flag.

Our issue is how old is LDU going to be until he's sick of waiting?

Our inability to land free agents and sell the club is going to be our undoing. One way or another.
This whole trade free agency period is another fail for the club. Yes some of it out of our control but the clubs only as good as the list it put together.
