List Mgmt. Our Trade/FA, Suburban & Country Town Thread

[Tadpole]

Man, Ive seen how this story ends over the past few years.. it’s looking TOO good.

**** it. What number does everyone think Dan is going to have on the back of his jumper?

13. Just don’t nickname him Apollo.

 

[unplugged]

Just heard the Carlton list manager talk. He seems genuinely committed to hit the draft for midfielders. I reckon they are likely to fold on the Houston chase.

It's like they already know their hopes of netting Houston are clinging by a thread, but they don't want to make it look like they were beaten to the punch.

 

[Dan Moody]

why is it incredible if he's still upset?

It's understandable. It's what they all play for. I thought he was very decent in how he handled himself and could rightly have requested a trade last year really.

No hard feelings towards him.

I'm still upset about 2018 and how we hand one hand on the cup with 2 minutes to go.
Completely understandable about JFN being upset

Not just plodders, injured plodders

Not just injured plodders, front running injured plodders

Think our future 1st wont be around. Might as well get used to it.

Tommy McGuane is our future first so don’t worry about it!

 

[Daicosian silk]

John Noble still being upset about 2023 is incredible.
Having said that he did save the trade period for us so I wish him well

Could learn a thing or 2 from the way Oscar Mcinerney handled himself with grace and class after missing out on Brisban’s flag. I know Big O was injured and Nobes was omitted but still it’s about the team first attitude

 

[Dan Moody]

Champagne photoshopping there for Johnny the Hunchback

It's hard to tell the difference right?

 

[Tadpole]

In absolute shambles and the deal isn't even announced

It probably won't even happen lol

Don’t you just love watching them tie themselves in knots over something that isn’t even guaranteed to occur - they need to change their nickname to the Pretzels.

All this Port/Cartlon/Collingwood stuff is giving me Nick Stevens deja vu.

Best trade deal we ever lost!

People keep bringing up Big O, but I'm surprised more don't mention McStay?

While he wasn't visibly overjoyed, he definitely wasn't pouting or gloomy and seemed genuinely happy for the boys despite missing out all while being basically responsible for us being there

Long may it continue

Houston originally wanted to go to Melbourne .............then they became such a rabble he changed his mind (thanks Perty!)

Then Carlton just decided to blow it up while in the box seat.

This trade will be a Bradbury job if it happens.

In retrospect, I'm glad we didn't get Stevens, because he turned out to be a nasty piece of work.
Could play footy though.

Love how aggressive we are being. If we got 13 23 and 29 from Suns for Nobes and F1 and keep pick 29. Maybe we could trade 29 and 35. For a slightly earlier pick and grab a Whitlock.

If we somehow come out of off season picking up Houston, Perryman, Tomlinson and a Whitlock. Feels like 2022 off season all over again.

John jodido Noble

Carlton Board also (on top of their Houston melts) had this:
"Don’t know if it’s been mentioned elsewhere, but I was told by someone who works at Collingwood FC, the reason why McRae came out and said he’s happy to inform everyone that Stringer won’t be playing at Collingwood is because they nearly got into a punch up during their meeting.
McRae told Stringer that if they were to pick him up he’d have to lose weight because he’s too fat to play the role they would want him to play.
Stringer wasn’t too happy with what was said and how it was said and fired back at him. Apparently got to the point where they both were standing up yelling at each other and McRae told Stringer to GTFO. Stringer became too aggressive towards McRae so he was told, in no uncertain terms, that if he didn’t leave immediately he couldn’t guarantee Stringer would be able to safely leave the building."

They're so delusional. As if Fly would ever call anyone fat.

Now moving into sore neck territory from looking down at my phone

This trade will be a Bradbury job if it happens.

And both will result in medals

Someone has taken some funny liberties with his wikipedia page.

Although Stevens never played for his beloved Collingwood, he managed to play four games for the Diamond Valley Magpies over 35 Superules team. Whilst grossly overweight, he showed glimpses of fitness and an ability to accept bets he would never honour.

Throughout 2023-24, Stevens went head to head with arch nemesis Brett Stabb on whatsapp. Unfortunately the results were much like his footy career, trying valiantly but ultimately getting beaten week in week out.

Nah, JFN gets a pass on this but Taylor Adams can gagf

It's fun though to imagine Fly getting in Stringer's face and telling him he's too fat

Nice analogy.

 

[Tadpole]

The fact that oppo fans are complaining about our salary cap makes me think it’s in a really great spot!

It’ll be even better with the retirements to come in the next couple of years.

It was a massive train wreck we avoided… all because Port didn’t want to deal with us!

Luckily we have a good relationship with port these days.
