Reckon Trac maybe ends up at Ess

2MP + 1st rounder + other residual pick swaps, might get it done.

Maybe, but I'd expect he'd want to go to a Victorian club that WILL win a flag in the next 4 or 5 years. This puts Hawthorn, Geelong, Collngwood or even Caaaaaaarlton in the front running. Dons just don't have the rocks.

EDIT: Should add the Dogs too. Maybe it is easier to list the Vic clubs he won't go to!!

How reliable is this bloke at work?

as a worker - pretty good.
As a source of gossip, time will tell!

 

[PiesHateU2]

People don't seem to understand that getting lynch would only be an option for us if
a) we have spare salary cap room for a year
b) we get a first round pick with it too.

If both those things are ticked then his wage doesn't matter and whether he plays a single game is irrelevant, as it would be a total bonus to the pick purchase.

So you're suggesting we lock up 1.5m of cap space to "purchase" a first round pick? And maybe get Tom Lynch to play a gam or two... or maybe not?

denial: stage 1 of the 5 stages of grief after break-up

denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance

Melb fc will need time to work through the other 4 stages but eventually they'll get there. End of official trade period may hasten stage 3 ..

One massive recruiting obstacle Essendon face is their training location. Driving to and from the airport every day in near enough to peak hour would be a serious drawback - especially if you live in the leafy South East...

 

[PiesHateU2]

Plain and simple. Petracca wants to play at Collingwood. Get it done.

Yeah... Dayne Beams apparently wanted to play (again) at Collingwood. His return deal screwed our club for 5 years

Hard workers have less time to gossip lol So when they take time out to gossip then I am all ears.

Aren't they mates? Not strange for players to go out for coffee with oppo club mates.
The more strange part is Leppa in the mix.

Derrimut is the strangest part. I live in the area and I'm trying to work out where they would have gone

In Derrimut? Have you actually been to Derrimut? I tell you - if you've been to Derrimut you would actually be questioning this.

 

[manicpie]

And to push away from the banks and other vessels.

I'd touch him with a barge pole. Lynch would be very handy

 

[Pistol Night]

If so, we would be looking down at him.

Hope we didn’t send Coxy. They wouldn’t of heard a word each other said

 

[sam_e]

Lyon isn’t doing Melbourne any favours at present.

Given Trac and Lyon are 'good' mates, maybe Trac will send him a text just like Gazza Lie-on did with his good mate Billy B

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

Sad to hear this! Line breaking defenders don’t grow on trees.
He’s so important to us despite what some think.
Turn the screws, demand pick 20 and hold on till the last day if necessary and see who blinks first.

Correct. Although it sounds like we have to have "that" talk. When a Mummy defender and a Daddy line breaker love each other very much...

Why on earth would Richmond give a first round pick along with him? All their big earners are leaving, they'll have trouble filling half their salary cap.

yeah nah - I try and give the west a wide berth!

Really shit worker but gets good footy Intel

Derrimut McCafe for sure.

Something near golf he said

Sounds like an upgrade on most of the AFL media like Maclure and Morris etc

 

[HFF]

This should represent an opportunity for someone like Demattia to really step up and make half back line breaking his own.
This is what he was drafted as to begin with ….

Don’t think he’d leave because of travel to Casey for Geelong!!!

 

[YouBeauty]

Yeah the course is quite popular. That is believable. I know many of the SEN guys go there.

 

[Vankri]

Does GC have a lot of academy players coming through this year or just next? As I wonder if we can package Noble, our future first and second rounders to access their top 2 picks and offer this to Melbourne for Trac.

On a work email right now

"I didn't think I could sell the Sunday coffee story, but it worked. Like any good lie, you need a bit of detail. I was going to go with Toorak, but then I thought f it, and I went with Derrimut. Funniest bit is I don't even have a brother and I've never been to Derrimut."

 

[manicpie]

Derrimut is a sleepy little hollow, nestled in amongst an enormous industrial estate. Lots of little posh cafe's in amongst the factories and transport depots

 

[eddiesmith]

No one should boo JFN when we play GC
Absolutely shafted him in the GF.

Been such a handy acquisition.
Tries his ass off.

Little sad to see him go.

Shafted him? We won a premiership because players like that should be depth, not premiership players.
