No Oppo Supporters Double-Death-Riding Carlton 2019 Edition - Currently Pick 1 and 19

[skittlebrew]

There's an article on AFL.com.au at the minute about

https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-05-29/who-would-your-club-target-in-a-midseason-trade

Wow what a delusional article, apparently we could get Jack Martin for a second round pick.

 

[hey shorty]

Where do we sign ??

Sold!

 

[Deaneus!]

Have you got the post where I said sure?
And the one where he suddenly found an excuse?

Still going on about odds?
I will wager 1K with you that we don't finish bottom 2
Put your money where your mouth is Sanders

Sure
What odds are you offering?

Even money

What escrow are you proposing. Money upfront

Great, I will let you know

You do that

newbie_kimber & Sanders
After some research, there is no agency that will allow peer to peer wagers in Australia (AFL) for specific best (Blues to finish bottom 2 or not). So unless you know of any that I may not be aware of, looks like this wager will be bragging rights only

FR0GGY

The Carlton poster who didn't take this bet... is now claiming on the Carlton board that no one wanted to take him up on it.

That's how brave you lot are, no one was willing to take it then

There's a special kind of cognitive dissonance for this. Or maybe it's just #fakenews.

I'll bet for money!
Um... i *can't* work out how to put something in escrow, bragging rights?
Ha, no one wanted to take me up on it!

It’s not a year, I think it’s at least 2 years maybe more

He would only agree to sign a 1 year contract if it wasn't Geelong.

 

[Crow till I die]

He would only agree to sign a 1 year contract if it wasn't Geelong.

The bottom club could have got him for a season..could think of worse players to bring in to help the kids learn. Then if he nominates for the preseason draft again, the bottom club gets him for a season - they could have all shared him around

 

[Pugsley]

I am sure he would have said whoever picks me in the preseason draft, I will sit out the entire year.

Wouldn't happen. Call his bluff.

 

[Sanders]

Can’t do that.

Rules say no

It’s not cognitive dissonance, it’s just lying

Let’s not give it a fancy name

We had the final option to match any contract offer that the Cats make to Danger. As this is under FA, the Cats couldnt just change the terms of his contract in a few years time.

We also could have take Milera with out compensation pick. That we will never know if he would have lasted til then.

The players we took ahead of Milera are Charlie Curnow, Eric Hipwood, Daniel Rioli, Harrison Himmelberg, Brayden Fiorini,

Did we bid on Hipwood before we took Milera?

 

[GROTTO]

Did we bid on Hipwood before we took Milera?

I honestly cannot remember.

Neither can I, but surely we did on account of us bidding on everyone

We bid on Himmelberg

Gee, we're getting close to having to start a new thread.

I think we should have a "best of" thread 1 quotes to kick of thread 2...

Another Deaneus top-10.

Its only fair we ackowledge Carlton posters right in the beginning of a new thread for making the 1st Death Riding Thread truly epic.

 

[Crow till I die]

Whats all this pick 1 shenanigans..Carlton just used pick 1..in the mid season draft

I don’t recall doing a top 10 previously?

Thought you did a best of quotes before... but perhaps not top-10... but now I'm thinking it may have been Drugs Are Bad Mackay? As half the quotes were his.

Cats was never going to pay danger 1mil plus, I could be wrong but there was reports that they didn’t want to bring in a player who would be paid more then Selwood or mess up their payment system, we got absolutely ****ed in the ass with that trade and should have let him walked into the draft and Geelong probably wouldn’t have the team they have now..

Has to be up there as the second biggest stuff up after this Carlton deal

That is not the first time geelong schooled us at the trade table. Remember this:

I swear people have erased any and all memory of the Tippet saga from their brains, sometimes.

You mean when we got Jake Lever anyway?

The problem with that trade was taking Wigg with the upgraded pick.

 

[GrommoT]

So... just thought it might be helpful to have a Bolton hazard indicator
