You know it’s bad when your Collingwood and Hawthorn supporting mates send you a DM with a link to Gleeson’s article and absolutely hammer Dodo

One was more reserved, thinks my suggestion of a pick around 15-20 was on the money

The other one though, I can’t repeat the whole of what he said. Ended with * should be ****ed off out of the league...

Give Saad $2M for a 2 year contract and put him into the PSD. Nobody is matching that offer . Then pay the remainder of his deal over the next 3 in a subsequent contract. It worked for Martin and will work for Saad.

Probably don't even have to do that. He can specify any terms in his contract.

Nothing stopping him from requesting a reserved parking space right outside the front door of Ikon Park.

There's only one club who can satisfy that arrangement.
 
Honestly I’m really coming around to the idea of letting him slip through to the national draft and take him at our first pick if they are going to play this game.

Still a reasonable use of that pick and just immensely satisfying to not give it to them.

They won’t use 6 on him; this draft is enormous for their future and they won’t waste their pick on a guy who doesn’t want to play for them.

I reckon blues could be pretty confident he’d still be there by the time we had our first pick
Pick 27

Why is the AFL taken so long for the list size cuts and salary cap etc

In my humble opinion, the AFL have been trying to reduce list sizes and football departments for a while. I think they are trying to restructure everything and using covid as an excuse.

My guess is that the clubs and the AFLPA know this and are protracting the argument.
 
So Dodo’s requests have been:
7 + Walsh
7 + Charlie
7 + Harry
7 + TDK
7 + future 1st

Gonna be a long few weeks for Austin. I guess at this rate we could be back to a late 1st by trade week...

Tell Dodoro due to his stupid demands we are offering Pick 27 only,
take it by the 4th last day of trade week or the deal gets worse each day. ;)

3 Day's to end of trade week - Pick 27 & Darcy Lang
2 Day's to end of trade week - Pick 27, Darcy Lang & Finbar O’Dwyer
1 Day's to end of trade week - Pick 27, Darcy Lang , Finbar O’Dwyer & Ben Silvagni
End of trade week Day - Pick 27, Darcy Lang , Finbar O’Dwyer, Ben Silvagni & Hugh Goddard
 
I hope they’re preparing to use pick 27 as that’s near enough to what he’s worth, take pick 7 to the draft or use in another trade

No chance a deal can be done for that pick, pick 16 will most likely pushing out to pick 20 anyway pick 27 will end up possibly around 33.
So let them keep on digging a hole for themselves with an outdated and ridiculous bluffing negotiating strategy, it would reflect far better for us as a club to be showing everyone that we operated in a fair and respectful way by offering his trade value.
Clubs see us as a reasonable to possibly trade with for now and the future, while everyone gets another look at *** shenanigans which grow more pitiful by the year... we’ve got them either way all his crap from them will become tiresome, then they’ll except or lose him for nought burgers.
Even they couldn’t be that pigheaded and dumb...

We have people at the club who can mend such relationships. If he couldn't handle hub life or hanging around for a scratch match 2 out of every 3 weeks, with zero hope of being selected, I kind of get it.

He was a confident young man, something I didn't mind when I watched him play. We are still a very introverted group so I can see how he might stand out negatively.

We have two captains, they should be sorting this sort of sh*t out.

Not to mention it can be demoralising for a young man to go from being top dog at junior level, to then come crashing back down to earth when you get to the big leagues.

Sometimes having that much confidence can work against you, at least until you reach your perceived potential.

I hope the club doesn't give up on him.
