Ask and we'll try our best to assist - so here's 2024 Provisional AFL Draft Order

I'll also sticky this post to ensure it's easily accessible for discussion of our hypothetical trader


Also,

2024 Free Agency Period​

That’s something fishgutz would say

No I wouldn't!

 

[Zouz Kitty]

didn't we also used to have a user called shadow?

If it’s the one I think you’re referring to, was booted + made new account, booted + made new account. He lives in Adelaide. So are you real the account formerly know as Shadow?

 

[year of the cat]

Couldn’t have said it any better.

This isn’t over by a long shot.

 

[Warhorse]

Point in case? FishGutz knew about Alex Davies and the interest in Oliver, which no-one else on this board confirmed halfway through the year. They've got runs on the board. That's your prerogative to dispute whether it's factual, but it can just as also easily be stated that your opinion that '95% of things said on here is BS' - also isn't factual. No way to prove otherwise.

We move on anyway, it's not important

I brought up Davies but your point still stands. He clearly has connections at the club.

I have been told that there are higher ups who don't want Clayton but that looks to be wrong at this stage

 

[OzeSparky]

Yeah shadow something, was absolutely obsessed with the trade stuff.. Got something wrong or called out for something from memory and had a massive melt and nuked their account.

Good times, can't wait for what happens with v2

Ive seen a few have a melt and leave. In covid when the CFMEU building was getting attacked a poster threw a melt then, when he was found to be wrong about the guy kicking that dog.

 

[D BRIDGE]

I predict he'll be as quiet as a church mouse

Probably, but if he wants to ensure he is traded he should be doing a nudie run before the end of the night.

 

[goyoucatters]

'They won't trade him, Mitch.'

Transcribed the Viney part so people could see how wish washy it is

"This is just moments ago. Jack Viney was door stopped by Channel 10 and was asked about Clayton Oliver."

"Yeah, Yeah, No I think I look forward to playing with Clayton next year. So no valued member of the team. So yeah. And I look forward to getting through this little period and get stuck into it in the next year. You know this time of year there's always kind of trade rumors, this kind of stuff and players meeting with other clubs.
So you know I spoke to Clazz and, you know, he's looking forward to, you know, I'm looking forward to him being part of the Melbourne Football Club next year."

"And you're certain that he is as well?"

"I mean, I'm not privy to this management discussions, but you know, my understanding is, yeah, he's a Melbourne player next year, My understanding is that he's a Melbourne football player next year."

Sounds cagey

 

[CatToTheFuture]

It's not, but it would be pretty funny if there was only 3 people in here and it's just all 3 on alternate accounts.

I think you're getting confused with the Bailey Smith trade thread. Choked full of alts

deal.. I personally can understand Bulldogs wanting more then just our 1st round pick.. especially with these compo picks getting announced...
But if we only gave up our 1st round, it's a bargain

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Here’s a good one

 

[dont stop me meow]

It would be piss funny if Krueger's asking to come back because Rohan made fun of his haircut one time and now Rohan's gone he feels safe to come back.

Obviously not the case, but a hilarious mental picture.

Lol is that for real?

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Eh, maybe. I dont see signs the AFL and clubs are dissatisfied with the current arrangements which, we have to accept, are remarkably good at meeting the equalisation objective.

The chink in the armour is, if anything, the inequity in where players want to go and play. I could see the AFL acting on that before they blow up part of a working equalisation arrangement. Something like making it so the top 4 each year is unable to have access to players of a certain calibre in the player movement period.

I don't know that the draft is the most effective equalisation measure. A bad first round pick can make your whole recruitment year a dud.

In any case, if would do what I suggested there regardless of taking away other measures

Do the bulldogs now chase our FR1 instead and hope we slide a bit.

Gawn to Geelong as well? Nice!

 

[dont stop me meow]

Am I really, really high again or do we have two guys named Shadow Cat in the same thread?

That's the reason I changed my name from 35dangerwood14. Also because meow I can't be stopped

 

[dangerwood]

It's not, but it would be pretty funny if there was only 3 people in here and it's just all 3 on alternate accounts.

You all exist right? I'm not just posting to myself...

 

[Cataholic]

He's also a lizard?

Lol.

They've said 'shop yourself around, but we refuse to let you go'.

Maybe tonight he's playing up to their notion of staying, then will walk away and say 'nah, I'm leaving'?

 

[Cataholic]

didn't we also used to have a user called shadow?

We did.

I found this exclusive footage from Demons B&F



Don't forget you saw it here first.

Wonder how Gary Perts night is going

 

[dangerwood]

I'm having such a good time, having a ball!

Is that the actual transcript or a joke?

Reads like a guy told to tell the media he's staying but just doesn't trust his club is actually going to do that
