So D day today? That is Dursma day?

Orazio can come back but only as water boy.

Unfortunately there's another 6 hours before any trade is allowed to be submitted.

Imagine how well he would occasionally run the water

 

[eth-dog]

Can we get father/son rights if he runs water for us 13 times?

It really is a load of shit the way they stage the end of the trade period. It's something that simply doesn't need to be or deserve to be televised.

Only if he procreates with someone more durable

 

[Lore]

Also we already have father/daughter rights

Does anyone actually watch?

In before he has kids and they change it to 100 games when she's draft eligible

Currently all of our less durable players have father/daughter so hopefully it sticks around for a football generation at least

Especially for right now when the girls only play 10-14 games a year anyway, 78 games just about represents a 10 year career

I'm personally not aware of anyone that does. No doubt there's tragics out there that do.

Wasn't last year a fizzler where there were very few trades announced, let alone any of note?

I remember them basically forcing the Dawson trade to go late 2 years ago because it was literally the only good player left. Get those prime time viewers.

Who's the "big trade" this year?

Had Cornes on in background doing book work and he said that the AFL must step in to ensure more big name players move to make this time more exciting.

Weird take by Corn

I'll put it on in the background for the last half hour or so, usually I'd be eating dinner around that time anyway.

Trying to make it like NFL trade time plus keeping AFL in the focus till Christmas, then preseason kicks in.

All too drawn out for mine. have 1 week for EVERYTHING including Draft. After all, the player managers talk to each other way before anyway.

There is a guy at our work who listens every day. He is North supporter. Absolutely loves it.

I just ring him up and ask what is going on!!

I asked him yesterday if there are anymore North players we can take after he joked "stop taking all our players"

That’s why we don’t listen to him. His middle name is clickbait

I'd go the other way. Extend the trade period until the draft is done. Much less pressure to work out deals, media will be more relaxed because of it as well.

Plus 90% of the players taken in the draft start final year exams next week or the week after. They don't want the stress of the draft at the same time

Was a laughable thing i heard in the background

Best not to repeat it, he doesn’t need any encouragement

 

[doug85]

I’m more interested in how we move our picks around. But that won’t be resolved tonight.

Laughable the AFL has vitoed any deals before 3pm to monetise trade radio

 

[Milanista28]

I watch it

 

[Godzke]

Seems like Port are trading 41 to Richmond as part of the Soldo deal. They better accept a straight swap for BZT / Duursma otherwise that trade is dead in the water.

Melb interested in Billings as per Tom Morris. Sorry if this is old news.
