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


Also,

Just did it on the bus and on and off while cleaning up after the kids.

You win the Baz art award of the night!

In second place, Kobe G.

Well done to you both.

My present to you kitty

I would rather Smith and Olivier to be presents

 

[Zouz Kitty]

My present to you kitty

Oh my heart

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I would rather Smith and Olivier to be presents

I can't deliver those, only Mackie and his sleigh

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Dad is gonna be so proud of me. He went out to get milk 20 years ago, but I'm sure this will sway him back my way.

Semantics I know, but does second place count if there's only two people involved?

Even his reindeers would be late picks with Rudolph leading the charge of the discarded and unloved

The Dogs have not pushed him out. He has been courted by your sponsor and recruiting department, we would still happily have him. If you want him you’ll pay for him, simple. If not t was the other way around you’d be saying the same as the Bulldogs now. He’ll be our hoops or yours next season depending on who pays.

Of course it counts.

Even more impressive it was done under duress.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

True, if I said I just looked up 'NPC generator' on Google and it took 5 minutes, it does take the gloss off it a bit.

It was a battle against the elements, illness, and continental tyres, but we pulled through in the end.

A victory second place against all odds, one might say.

 

[bellpark]

Hey how about pick 17 for Oliver and Smith goes to pre-season draft ?

 

[Schmegg]

Seems an astute time of year for Mackie to take a week off,

Very quiet at the old saloon.

 

[Tony Barber]

Something smells.
We apparently aren't after anyone (other than smith), and no one is after our players.

I'm not buying it.

Richmonds picks are ripe for the picking right now. I wonder if thats the sort of thing that the dogs are holding off for. i.e. waiting for us to uncover something else.

No idea, but something isn't right.
The dogs might end up with McRae and Daniel on their books tomorrow night and Smith in the draft.
That would be brilliant list management.

Honestly, we're looking better and better by the day simply by doing nothing.

All is fair in love and war. Let them all screw themselves and we're the last men standing just by proxy.

Smith would get swallowed up in the preseason draft. He'd have to go ND.

The issue isn't the draft pick. It's been rumoured MFC would accept our F1st.

We're either reluctant to do it, or they're just not going to budge regardless and that report is false.

Either way, there's not much we can do if that's how things are placed.

Every man and his dog knows it's getting done.

I'll guess by 6pm.

Yep this one going to plan...woof.

 

[Grimoz]

This optimism on landing smith tomorrow feels a lot like the optimism before the prelim.

In recent times it always goes through so we are nothing surer it will go through again.

Every trade is different. Just like every game.

Something about this feels different, i actually wouldnt be shocked if the dogs left him to go to the draft given some of the ridiculous shit we have seen by clubs today

 

[Kobe Gryant]

I'll guess by 6pm.

I'll put odds on 7:28pm.

They're not even allowing trades to go through until 2pm, and it's the only day televised until 7:30pm.

It's all so contrived for viewership, which is fine...but it means we could do it in 5 days rather than 8.

Thousands of people who would never listen to a radio station in today's day and age are tuning in, so it does work.

I guess it all comes down to money, like most things.

 

[Grimoz]

How long did that take you?

About as long as Smithies mullet!!!

It's a game of chicken, don't be fooled, they will swerve.
