A pity about Stone but we should be all over O'Halloran.

I'm not sure if he was brought up in other threads, but XOH is the type of runner we need IMO.

Come in peace. XOH has a deal supposedly from the Dogs, and we aren’t moving on that. Would take a hell of an offer to get him out this year. Stringer/Shiel wouldn’t do it.

Do you know know many years doss XOH have left? 2025?

i'd certainly be interested in stone OR XOH. they're both solid players.

Stone has signed on for two more years so he's not an option any longer

LOL, it wouldn't be ideal, it wouldn't be pleasant for us, but it would end Jakes career and he wouldn't ever get another AFL contract ever again if he spent a year not playing senior football.

Obviously, his trade value is low, I'm not expecting the world for Jake, I just think it's important to understand that the Club have all the power here and to be frank we are under no obligation to help Jake prolong his career elsewhere or help a rival improve their list without adequate compensation. As Jake is currently contracted we can set the price with almost no drawback to another club not being willing to pay that price.

On the other hand, it doesn’t really help anyone if he spends the year rotting away in the VFL.

It doesn’t help us much less then pick 56.

Our potential loss vs GWS and Jake is still to far out of whack

Nope.

Can you stop being annoying? Thanks.

I thought both parties had to agree to the trigger. I was wrong, I'm fine with that.

Wowee. Someone admitting they were wrong on bigfooty. This post is going straight to the pool room.

I'm sure Call Me Cake did the same thing when he blew his call on the Hawks.

Now I am not on the David King appreciation wagon but the "alleged" info from the club is a bit damming if true.

"He doesn’t chase, he doesn’t pressure, he doesn’t help us with his preparation, he’s not professional enough, he’s not fit enough"

In that case you have to wonder why GWS would want him? Sounds like a lot of trouble to bring in

 

[Beerfish]

“All I’ve heard the last week is what he doesn’t do and that’s mainly from the Essendon camp. He doesn’t chase, he doesn’t pressure, he doesn’t help us with his preparation, he’s not professional enough, he’s not fit enough,” King began.

Is this legit? Why would the club relate these things to David ****ing King?

 

[naraku]

I read we might pay some of Jake's wage to see IF GWS would then give us #37.

I would have thought we have to pay at least 75% of his wages for GWS to even consider that.

 

[DapperDon]

Did we not play him for being fat in 2022/2023? My brain is fried and has no memory of that

I reckon he's using the term Essendon camp as Essendon fans on social media
