In this thread, ploz provide sauces for anything you claim as fact. It can be specific such as an article link or Neale's sisters cousins hairdresser or vague such as "own sauces" but ploz avoid blanket statements with no reference point, it makes people antsy.

Cal Twomey is rarely wrong on anything this time of year. Reporting on the trade and draft periods is where he really shines compared to his peers

The fact he has access to all of the list managers helps.

 

[dropbear101]

Cal Twomey is one reporter who is honest and actually has inside sources.

that is true.

Its a result of him being the draft expert. he interviews and gets to know the players before they are drafted. he gets to know their family.
also listening to his podcast he sounds like a fan who's job involves footy (also explains some of his terrible hot takes). so the players don't view him as a hack.

 

[Mockcockpit]

Also tried a drive-by on Cal

aflratings called him Coin Young.........not wrong.

 

[Paracleet]

As a known Bell disapprover hats off to him. He really stiched Young up good here.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

So Colin Young's biggest problem is that Belly is honest?

If Lobb loves GWS so much, why did he leave?

Suck it up and play footy Lobby. Get a new manager too.

 

[One_Wing]

Very strong family club gws apparently. Tony Greene noted family man.

I think Lobb was offended early on at the end of our season when at his meeting he was told he needed to improve in some aspects of his game ,mainly rucking . I think he didn't like that because he is so precious and it hurt his ego and now wants out, to whoever. I don't think that he has entirely been happy to be with us and only came for the money. He obviously isn't invested as other players, in our future and getting to a premiership ,seems to be all about himself.

 

[apuchar]

Ha ha. Lobby wants to be back with his close mates at GWS. Funny how he was happy to leave them before then. What emotional blackmail garbage

[Supercoach Bargain]

Lobby might be an unemployed 29 yo soon! That would be what he is most worried about.

 

[DragoDelph]

The War begins:
Nathan Wilson - offer one year contract to cross to another agen,otherwise cut
Blake Acres - don't play him and dont renew his contract
Bailey Banfield - see Wilson, actually stuff that cut
Reece Conca - already done
Griffin Logue - offer extension, bonus for getting rid of Young
Liam Henry - see Logue
Michael Walters - don't extend until he is out of contract
Joel Hamling - don't renew or extend. If he wants a trade say no.
Travis Colyer - see above

Dont trade for:
Tim English
Ian Hill
Sam Taylor

Seems his stable is getting empty

 

[Freo Jail]

My little crystal ball.......

Lobb is an outsider at the club, he will be worth nothing in two years so now is the time to move him on. Will get what they can for him. Darcy Tucker

not signed yet will become part of a trade to get Tim English in to the club. Bulldogs list is the opposite of ours with tall forward depth, plus they are bringing in Darcy this year. Lobb and Tucker out English in, picks involved but god knows what..................my crystal ball has been wrong many times before. I just think that not having Tucker signed means that he is on the trade table......... he is the bait.

 

[apuchar]

Source please?

Bell said it. Didn't say Lobb was offended though but said he would work on it.

I heard he brought Toby on a 'bring your kids to work day' at the prison!

 

[Purple Suit]

Wow, some people getting upset in here. It's just a used car salesmen trying to sell his banged up old euro that was once expensive but now costs far too much to keep on the road. His job is to carry on like a pork chop, don't take it personally or plot revenge.

We hold all the contract, it's our call so we need to get a great deal or it ain't happening. Lobb is still fronting up to training with no trade and probably has competition for his spot with a few rookies in the draft. It might actually drive him to improve next year and get him to play 20 games and kick 40 goals so he can earn a trade. If he sooks and doesn't perform, 2023 will be him last year in the AFL playing WAFL.

More so it has highlighted the importance of drafting a potential replacement in Williams.

Dont shoot the messenger with your angry thumbs down, he is just relaying an idea thrown up by the nuffies running trade radio.

I'd probably do that to be honest just for fun (depending on titch contract) but zero chance the Hawks would.

lol

Why would the Hawks take $1m per year contract until 2026?

Mitchell to us for Lobb is ok but I really think it massive improves us.

 

[freo1997]

It's a slow day on the trade table.

Got my PI following JK..spotted in Yangebup headed East on horseback.

 

[MrDanggazz]

I don’t see why the Hawks would have any interest in Cogs though while simultaneously shipping off Mitchell, Omeara and Wingard?

Who can I shoot then?

Huh? why would we want Tom Mitchell? Why would the Hawks want Coniglio when they have put anyway over 26 up for trade?

Trade Radio makes no sense.
