100 bottles of Evian that are exactly half full

12 dozen roses, with stems cut 4.5 inches long
4 x 3rd round picks
1 tonne of M&Ms, all the brown ones removed

because its essendon. and they are scum

 

[JuddgementDay]

Offer is on the table. Jacks a good kid. Im Pretty confident he wants to join us regardless of salary differences

I'll be very happy with this, but it doesnt make much sense from Martin's perspective...
Dogs in finals & more $$$
Vs Blues potential?

1. Sick of putting on foundation to hide his track marks

2. Essendon are an abominable club, and he’s finally realised it

3. Fitness guy has got no clue and ruining his earning potential for the last 6-7 years of his career

4. The smartest one in the family

5. All of the above

If we've been working away at him through his manager since last year, and the Dog's have jumped in late, that could be all there is to it. Sometimes showing a player you really want them to be part of your club means more than a last minute cash offer because Tippa fell through...

I hope for our sakes that Papley has no interest in playing for *

He looked at his reflection in the Hangars Changeroom Mirror and couldn't stand the sight of himself.... thinks the mirrors at the SCG will be better.

Go for a lunch jog. Find $50 on the ground. Get back to see barass70 has multiple posts. Day just gets better.

He's not what they need.

They have small forwards and small mids up the wazoo.

I mean any club would take Papley, but * need him less than most.

me too - also, I will hold you personally responsible if he does - just for suggesting it - message ends............

Clear spot in a team on the rise vs fighting for position at the dogs. Teague vs Bevo.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Somehow getting Martin and Papley in this trade period and holding onto next years 1st would be a massive win.

Again we will have cash to burn and with our rise up the ladder and talent on the list, should make grabbing a gun either via trade or FA a little easier.

 

[Heres Waite]

Three team trade?

Carlton, Sydney, Drug cheats

I appreciate your input, you're an underrated poster with a good track record. I'm a little concerned that the doggies are offering more. I know Betts wouldn't be seen as a crucial trade for us for the long term, but maybe securing a legendary indigenous player like him could help getting someone like Martin accross the line? certainly couldn't hurt.

How long before one of the "news breaking" journalists start reporting Cripps to GC.

Tom Browne will be on it..

I'm inspired to go for a jog now!

Yeah who knows really, different players have different values.

I'm sure other clubs would have been interested in McGovern, but it seems he only had eyes for Carlton despite a 2 win season...Teague probably had a lot to do with it.

Maybe friendships and feeling comfortable with the people at his new club is more important to him that it would be to some other players...and maybe the SPS connection and others is playing a decent role in him preferring us.

 

[footyfan1978]

Only one to put forth a realistic trade scenario if in fact cripps wanted out. Do you have a scenario you'd care to share?

I do not want to goto hell too, even though I did hear what Eagles intend to offer next time....

I'm not even completely sold on Wines and Crouch...seem to be best available mids right now but not 100% best fit for our needs. IMO we need more 'balanced' midfielders, whereas those 2 are clearly inside mids.

Would like to see us get in Martin & Papley this year, while keeping our 2020 1st rounder.

Hopefully the young mids develop next year, then we have our 2020 & 2021 1st rounders to use to trade in a gun mid to replace Murphy.

 

[Blue Chip Pass]

Can we shut the fu** up about Cripps, it gets me nervous even reading that stuff that I know is just a piss-take. It just makes me uncomfortable.

I totally agree. I can't even wait to get to the end of this thread to make comment.
I know people like hypotheticals. But Cripps is off-limits. Just gets me agitated.
Feels like asking people how much would you sell your sister for. You just don't go there.
And please no responses, like I'd give her away for free.
