Bluemour Melting Pot XXI - Like seriously, the polar ice caps have got nothing on us

[The Blue Weirdo]

Well I certainly will be boycotting the final trade night coverage on Fox Sports and I assume Channel 7. Not going to indulge these galoots by signing to their tune. Got better things to do with my time. This crass commercialization of the game gets worse every year. The TV networks have far, far too much influence on this league (especially with compromised/tainted draws which saw Richmond finish the home and away season with 7 games at the MCG)

I've had better things to do with my time for over a week now. But it still hasn't stopped me from wasting more time on bigfooty.

Geez people panic on this forum. They would never make a good list manager. It will all get done by the dealine

You’re right. I would be strong, then probably cave the day before deadline day

Delisting but not a player?

What could that be? Josh Fraser's house?

The delisting term was just used to equate it to the time of year, and no not a coach.
I hope its wrong, but of not we will question moves for a few years

If it was going to be anyone, I would of thought it be Josh Fraser.

If it's not a coach or a player then it would probably be list management and there is no way that conversation would be happening now.

Bummer fan logic though... they'd probably say if Daniher stays that they are a flag contender next year...

Confirming this was the logic on display on trade radio this morning.
Apparently they are a a "Top 4 Team" with Daniher on their list

I'm sure barass SOS knows what he's doing.

oh please...

So here's an idea.... if you're gonna have an overly long trade period, why not have more TV coverage earlier on?

That way you don't have dramatic galoots like Dodo waiting until the last freakin minute and dragging the whole thing out.

It’s time the cameras are in the negotiations. Just do Big Brother trade week. Lock them all in a house, with camera everywhere. Friday Night games, the list managers compete for an extra first round pick

That's what made it sound odd to me

If im paying more than 2 billion dollars to broadcast games Id want a say in what is being shown on my TV network and when. Without the TV networks money, the players would be full time barista's and shop fillers and part time footballers. They are a necessary evil, for lack of a better word.

Im assuming you are referring to SOS then?

What happened? Did the camp get blamed on campo?

Nothing like comedy central from Bummers fans. Who out of Richmond, Collingwood, West Coast, GWS, Brisbane are they better than? Geelong will hurt without Tim Kelly but even they're still better than Essendon. Hawthorn with Mitchell to come back, and two decent bookends if fit are going to rise. Argument can be made for Western Bulldogs, too. The only givens are that both Adelaide and Port will sink like rocks, and Essendon may be in the mix with a bunch of us for the last spot or two.

One time at band campo....

Ok, back to school

Great news for me. About to go in for a job interview. I now won't be tempted to be checking my phone instead of answering questions.

Ok, interview done! I now wait nervously for them to get the trade through!

Did I miss anything?

 

[RoyalParade]

Watch the * mouthpiece wispy Watson step up to earn his keep tomorrow morning, once Daniher is traded.

 

[KohPhi]

What is SOS doing - just offer Pick 9 for Papley for nothing in return and Pick 43 and Future 2nd Round Pick for Martin.

You seem to forget there are other parties involved. These players are not being purchased from a shop ffs.

I get that from the TV's perspective.
But wouldn't it be more to their benefit if the period was compressed, and more was happening, and more excitement was created? Sure they want some big deals going down in the last 2 hours, fair enough. But how does it help them to have 4 players move in 8 days?

I would think, purely from a tv and entertainment perspective, they'd be better off running trade week for 4 days and finishing on Thursday night (Obviously not from a Trade Radio perspective, though, where they get an extra week to talk about absolutely nothing happening).

Poor bloke reeks boofhead unfortunately - I bet he knows it too.

I suppose you are right (even though i don't like it), I would like to see more of that TV Network money trickle down to country/grassroots and junior clubs to be honest, getting more kids and juniors playing footy or any other kind of sports can only be a good thing.

 

[Matty411]

So potentially pick 48 to the Swans for pick 54 and 63 to us? Probably gets us the pick to get Pittonet.

54 and 56 the article states. Simple business for us and indicates that we've got good a trading relationship with Swans (pointing to hopefully Paps deal going ahead).

 

[MrJimmy]

Just checking...any action yet?

Thanks in advance.

To quote the great barass70........"no"
