[D BRIDGE]

Mackie and Power deep in negotiations.

NOT!!!

They are just sitting in their rooms doing nothing.

This is all bogus man… all for show, and they are showing nothing.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Mackdog you great man.

 

[Schmegg]

Wouldn’t mind an out of the blue pickup of stringer, just for shiiiiiits and giggles.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

The last time I watched Trade Week live had recruiters sitting in cubicles, on phones, shouting across the floor. Like a stock exchange.

Now it’s crappy.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Now it’s crappy.

They aren’t even putting on an act anymore.

Body language says most of this stuff is already ticked off and they are just waiting to announce it.

I still maintain the deal has been all but agreed on for days if not longer but the AFL won't accept the paper work until close to 7:30

 

[cats_09]

Which level of Candy Crush is Mackie up to?

 

[Schmegg]

General “Stonewall” Mackie should be proud.

This is actually the perfect time to discuss possible pick trades on draft night.
It's rare that they are all in the same building.

You're thinking of draft night. It still happens.

Those talks could be done on a phone just like most talks are and probably have been for a week or so

[CatToTheFuture]

Why would it be delayed?

It's a live show that covers the last 30 minutes of the trade period and then an hour to discuss what's happened the past 10 days

I actually loved the joke that Twomey dropped, that I 100% fell for, that trade radio was continuing trade radio daily right up to the draft to cover all the potential machinations of pick swaps.

 

[Turbocat]

Wonder how things are going on the Dogs side of this …. spend all their energy talking about picks in the 40’s ..?

It's completely different mate. Every big deal I've done was started in person. Then subsequent emails and calls, and finalised in person.

You dont see any body language over a phone.

That is true but i 100% think they started those talks a week ago even if they will be finalised in person

How often did you deal with the same 17 people and over and over again though?

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

This is garbage someone light a desk on fire or something. How are they planning to make an event/show outta this crap.

 

[Tony Barber]

Fair point.
But that's probably where you'd want to talk to people. "we are thinking of this"
And they say 'have you spoken to x? I just spoke to him and he's looking for something like that'

Maybe It's old thinking from me. I'm not from the swipe right generation

It's a very sad state of affairs
