As per tradition, I have done the summary
WIN/WIN FOR BOTH SIDES WITH TODAYS DEAL?
We think so. Both boys were early draft picks, both number 11's. And now both boys have an opportunity to ressurrect their football career.
WHAT CHANGED WITH EVERITT
He has had an interupted pre season for the past 2 years
He had opportunities in the team but didn't take them
He has so so much to offer in the way of talent
It is just that a new environment will get the best out of him
Both players have an idea of what it takes to be a consistent AFL player
POPULAR PLAYER WITH FANS -EXPECTING ANY FAN BACKLASH?
He has been a victim of his own performance.
He was given an opportunity early in his career and did well and had high expectations placed on him.
He is a really quality young man.
VEZSPREMI TO GET OPPORTUNITIES TO PLAY MOST GAMES
Yes, he will get the development needed into his football when he is playing the games.
We are excited, he has pace, skills and 2 or 3 strings to his bow.
He is a natural wingman but can also play Half forward or half back.
He fills our requirements and needs.
STILL INTERESTED IN SHERMAN
Yes, we had extensive talks today with Brisbane.
Unfortunately we are not in agreement at the moment
Justin and his management are very very keen to get to Melbourne. And the Western Bulldogs is his club of choice.
WILL MINSON
Will was a surprise to us.
Different clubs were interested in a couple of our players and Will was one of those.
We have to see if we can get any value out of the deal.
ANY ADDITIONAL DELISTINGS?
Not at this stage.
We spoke to the group and said we will get through trade week and once then
a)assess our list in terms of structure
b)assess our TPP and salary cap position
YOU WON'T BE MUCH IN THE DRAFT?
No, we can take our time and roll up whenever we want.
We have quality of Wallis and Libretore that are in the top 20 in the draft, which gives us ability to be more aggressive in trading.
CAPTAINCY?
We have a strong leadership group
There is excitement because we have a wide choice to choose from.
REST OF THE WEEK
A few more trades we want to see done.
