Old mate Faffman saying he's met with Brad Scott twice

Lucky JHF announced his re-signing at the Syd then

Old mate Faffman saying he's met with Brad Scott twice

Why would t he. LDU is going to be coming into some big coin and no one better on his to tell him which properties to invest in than Bradley!

Yep. LDU is going to go from North Melbourne to a club that hasn't won a final in his living memory.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Not that I expect LDU to go to Essendon, but they have successfully sold their Big Crowds, Holiday By September 15 at Latest dream to a fair few before him.

Why? Is Sam looking for property advice or something?

 

[shinboner magic]

Will be a media circus if lets it stretch into season 2025 and derail our premiership run

If he doesn’t sign inside the first half of the year, he’s gone.

 

[shintemaster]

He will sign and he's not going.

 

[swaeney]

If he doesn’t sign inside the first half of the year, he’s gone.

If he starts the season like a house on fire, what benefit does he have to sign early?

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

He’s getting big dollars regardless so signing and removing any possible conjecture that could affect his form I see as a good thing.

 

[HBFlanker]

Am i the only one concerned if we draft FOS tonight, that the writing might on the wall.

Nah, he forces Stephens to the VFL.

There are probably a few others with no understanding of the situation.

Completely unrelated

Probably trying to sell him Tullamarine UrbnSurf - not sure that's gonna cut it.

Feel free to run me through your logic at any time.

 

[HBFlanker]

if Stephens was in our Round 1 team we are miles behind where we should be.

 

[the big lebowski]

Feel free to run me through your logic at any time.

Aside from always drafting best available, FOS and LDU aren’t similar players in any way.

By your logic we’d draft Draper as a replacement for ldu. But even if that were to occur ……….. our ceo said a week ago

LDU isn’t leaving

I was worried about JHF, I was worried about Thomas.

Have you read what Luke said? He didn’t just say one or two sentences of why he isn’t leaving. It was 2 interviews worth.

Now I am not naive enough to discount that things can change, but it’s going to require a miserable year of 0-4 wins for
Him to leave. And if that occurs, it’s probably better he goes anyway.

Relax

You've totally contradicted yourself here.

Luke isn't leaving BUT if we win 0-4 games next year he might leave.


I'm 100% confident he stays, and we win 7-9 games in 2025, however i would have preferred him to have signed already, obviously

I don’t believe we will win 0-4 games so I don’t believe I am contradicting myself.

I also have a sneaking suspicion he’ll sign before round 1 anyway. So wins will be moot.

But FOS has nothing to do with anything other than LDU has another potential superstar to play with.

That would be ideal, no question.

You might be, unlikely though, there would be others. I don't see it, if anything FOS is a much better fit for a team projecting a strong midfield. Looks to have ability to play pretty much anywhere. Think about a team where Wardlaw can park forward for half a quarter, can have the luxury of putting Sheezel as a full time forward for entire games - there is so much water under the bridge before we need to worry too much about team makeup. We need to get some more height in over the next couple of drafts, but I see no issues with FOS - or another flexible mid - coming into the team tonight if that's were the cards land.

Thats certainly an exciting prospect, and i completely agree. We are not in a position to worry about team make up just yet.

 

[Chadwiko]

I'm officially concerned about LDU.

 

[Disco Dew]

I'm officially concerned about LDU.

because we did a shit trade tonight?

 

[Devington]

because we did a shit trade tonight?

LDU is best mates with our first round pick in next years draft. We basically just stabbed him in the back!
