The thing that doesn't quite add up about that whole episode is that we supposedly made a significant offer to Gunston and a mid - can't remember which mid.
We were supposedly into Kreuger and Cameron too… My guess is managers were using us as leverage not realising just how bad our cap situation was.

FWIW I have my doubts on Brown for us. I think he would have struggled badly in 2021 because he didn’t get himself match fit until late season when we were cooked. It might have been a different story this year, but I can say with absolute certainty that he’d have been on the nose exiting 2021 if he made his way to the AIA centre.

We were supposedly keen on merrett who was in the penultimate year to FA. There's still a lot about those couple of weeks that don't quite add up. We will have to endure articles, interviews and probably books about it for years.
 
So Sydney offered McDonald a modest 4 year deal which I can only assume is the same p/a total which he has signed for 2 years on. Backing himself in to perform for his next contract.

At least now I don't have to spend the whole year wondering whether we're going to trade our first rounder for him 😂

I think we must have thought that the Beams payout would be outside the cap?

We tried. AFL knocked it back. Eddie wanted it as medical but the AFL got all shitty. Surely we're almost done paying him out?

Think they signed him so he wouldn’t walk to us in the preseason draft after we finish last.

No I think he will be a good defender and a cheap option..
Yes, we know. That’s why the joke was at your expense. (Not my joke, don’t get shitty at me for it)

I'd be looking at some GCS talent or looking for state league talent. If we play our cards right, we could find another Mihocek and another Dean or Noble hanging around and we'll be in the goods.

Kids in Victoria haven't had a lot of exposure so they're risky. Kids in the WAFL, SANFL, etc who are 23-25 have had heaps of time to mature. Few mature agers could rejuvenate our list.

Gee Apex, it’s as though you think people care.

Pablo and I have a strained relationship, I’m just trying not to stir the pot, not that it’s any of your business.

Sorry to hear that. Sometimes a kind word can do wonders.

For example, Apex you know a lot about footy and have improved my knowledge of the game.
