Non Lions Discussion 2019

[Ironmonger]

St Kilda have traded pick 6 for picks 12 and 18.

I have a small soft spot for the Saints, and I have this feeling of dread they're going to do something very stupid, like take one of those picks and next year's first rounder and offer it to the Dockers for Hill.

They need so much more than Hill, Ryder and Howard to pull themselves up the ladder.

 

[rangatangtang]

Knock yourself out I say

 

[briztoon]

Freo will get pi**ed if they split 6. Bit of a non-starter I reckon.

We were able to trade down a single spot last year as Port was desperate to get Rozee and pick up a free second round pick but I don't see anyone being willing to do such a lopsided trade this year. GWS probably wants to be even earlier than 6 to ensure they get a pick in before Tom Greene is bid on.

This comment aged well.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Hahaha as I write this Damian Barrett (grain of salt etc) reports that Freo wants two first round picks plus something for Hill, and that the scheduled meeting between the Saints and Freo to discuss the trade yesterday ended after less than 3 minutes.

Saints - so where are we belly?

Bell - two top 10 picks, i need another feather for my cap you see

Saints - GAGF

Carlton may be amenable to a similar split for pick 9 if we were looking to move up.

We should also get something else back, 9 for 16 & 21 is not quite enough IMO, maybe they can throw in Blake Acers.

If he played for them I would agree.

I'll clip myself across the ears so you don't have to WLF, my only excuse is senility, Sam Petrevski-Seton will do then.

The least surprising development. God I hope we get some great media from Peter Bell in the next week:

This is the exact same as how the Lachie Neale trade played out last year. Two teams playing hardball = deal done 2 mins before deadline. Love how St Kilda called their bluff. Bell frustrating to deal with but good entertainment when we aren't directly involved.

Funny thing is it appears that Bell's attitude has rubbed off on Freo supporters, they talk the same way.

They thought he played last year well too.

Bell's problem now is that Freo have an NGA kid (Henry) ranked around the mid teens. So if they take 12 there is an outside chance they would have to burn it on their NGA kid where as with 6 they could safely pick a player and then pick up the NGA.

Could be another feather someone sticks up Bell's backside

Bell is the best ad for players avoiding freo. Come to us and if you ever want to leave we will stuff you up, and other clubs won’t trade with us cause we are difficult.

I still shake my head at the fact that bell honestly believed that Neale would change his mind and stay because he (bell) had come on board. Feather up his backside, nowhere near his hat.

So glad we don’t have an all conquering ego at our helm. Give me boring old play my role, club first mentality every time.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Fremantle have been pushovers at the trade table for decades,Bell is overcompensating

Same with the Suns who are now playing hardball with Ah Chee

Lmao at Matthew Lloyd calling Freo unreasonable after saying that Essendon should demand Heeney for Daniher. He's right but very very very hypocritical.

‘Unreasonable’ Dockers growing a reputation for pumping ‘chest out’ at trade table

Both teams are Wombats. Delusion is also strong in both fan bases.

Burton sacked by Adelaide.

Yeah you've got to wonder what affect he had on the club in his 5 years with us, the Voss/Lepitsch years. Considering all the flak we drew for having "Kulcha" issues and with what CEY said recently it gets easier to connect the dots. Toxic environments seem to just follow him around. He's not loved on the Crows board that's for sure.

Edit: Holly crap just read an article about these Mankind camps and whats involved, Burton really screwed the pooch if he gave elite athletes up to his pop-psych mates.

My (very) weird weekend with the naked woodland warriors who travel to remote England to 'reclaim their masculinity'

How our man found himself with 65 naked men chanting, drumming - and screaming their rage against women to 'reclaim' their lost masculinity.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Redit: Holly crappier!

"Football boss Brett Burton first raised the prospect of a relationship with Collective Minds when he worked at the Brisbane Lions, running that club’s high performance. The Lions more recently rejected another approach from Woulfe, choosing to prioritise the welfare of players and their families given that club’s issues in the past with retention."

Red flags remain over the Crows' cultish camp

The fragile mental state of at least one player remained a major concern to family and friends last week.

Was one of the major issues with us a while back to. Head of performance when we had regular injury lists 13 players long.

Now Birch has come in maybe Chee isn't such a pressing need, so they can go fish!

Dont understand why people and 'experts' think Danniher is worth a fortune. He is a good key forward true, however he has been injured for 2 years running. There is no gurantee he will get better or be the same player. Patton did 3 ACL's and is worth only 3rd round pick. If he was fit w/o the injuries he would be worth what they are asking.

One article even said they would reject Picks 5 and 9 because they want some sort of instant replacement.
