Can you verify my personalised message from Granty? I don’t think people believe it’s real.

I can also confirm MD gets some good info from time to time.

I don’t believe I’ve seen any quality info from you.

Second-rate sums up your input, as well as your condescending post.
 
Funny thread.

The whole Kyle Dunkley aspect in this situation is just weird. I can’t understand it, it makes no sense. Is he really a carrot to make Josh feel at home?

haha It’s such an Essendon thing to do.

Come on Leon you know North gave us a great package of players for Dempsey in return.

I made myself laugh 😂


Always laugh when Norf supporters talk up what a good ole’ honest working class club they are (and cringe/vomit cos I ****ing hate Norf supporters)

Their successful era in the 70’s was built entirely on having shit tonne of cash that lured Barassi as coach and enabling them to poach/buy a bunch of superstars from other clubs.
 
Given the dogs hold the whip hand in any Dunkley negotiations (2 years remaining on his contract). If the dogs relent (and Dodoro is serious about getting the deal done) Dunkley could be traded to Essendon for picks 6 & 7 (assuming pick 7 is involved in the Saad deal).

If Adelaide get pick 2 in compensation for Crouch, would they entertain trading pick 1 (or pick 2, along with a gentleman’s agreement to not bid on JUH?) for picks 6 & 7?

This would leave (prior to further free agency compensation & bids):

Essendon with Dunkley (and could use Daniher compensation to trade for Caldwell).

Adelaide with pick 2 (or pick 1), pick 6, pick 7 & pick 8.

Dogs with pick 1 (or pick 2 - either way a guaranteed pick before JUH bid) & pick 12 (to be traded for greater points value to match JUH bid).

Thoughts?

While I think unlikely they get 2 and unlikely they'd trade it, I would imagine if the crows want one of the talls and Hollands. If they thought they could trade down and come away with Hollands and Thilthorpe and get an extra pick they may be interested. But not sure how that could happen. If we had got pick 1 from them I think we'd have to take the WA kid, which while great means we'd be taking 2 tall forwards this year. Not bad to be honest if we planned to move Naughton down back, but I think it would leave Adelaide vulnerable to getting ****ed over with North, Sydney or Hawthorn likely taking Thilthorpe is he was still available. Unless we used pick 1 to take DGB which would be great for our list and probably pick of the bunch from a needs basis, but pick 1/2 is overkill. The JUH situation actually really limits what we can do this year.
 
So sending midfielders in to ruck doesn’t work in the actual contest, and might also contribute to their happiness (or otherwise) with the club? Who’d have thought it?!

If there isn’t a shake up in how the team is selected and played next year there might be a few more holes to fill in our list.

Hopefully the club can resolve this and Dunkley stays.
 
This post is out of order here but I am asking for help. I have a terrible bout of plantar fasciitis.I cannot walk with the pain. Been to physio, got new insoles from podiatrist, et. Love bushwalking and running. Cant do either. 4 weeks now. Help anyone?

Ekkkkk that’s a sh!t injury and can take months to re over from

I assume if you like hiking you aren’t over weight? Have you stacked any on over iso?

I've had it, it sucks.

4 weeks isn't typically a long time for it to to heal, especially if it's constantly being re-aggravated.

I got over mine very slowly (months - I think a lot of podiatrists/physios/doctors would recommend no running, but I was playing soccer very intermittently to differing levels of pain). I found consistently rolling the underside of my foot over a golf ball right in the painful spots to try get to any scar tissue and "stretch" the fascia seemed to help. Aparently you're not meant to do this to a point where its too painful, but i found the times I took the pain to 11 out of 10, the better the outcome.

Tight calf muscles can also be a contributor, which is where self myofascial release with a foam roller (YouTube for techniques) can also help. Otherwise a get a masseuse to go to town.

Robert Harvey had such prolonged issues with it, he deliberately snapped it - Josh Kennedy did the same and apparently kicked 7 goals a couple of weeks later. But I don't think going down that path is recommended.

If money isn't an issue, I'd go see a sports doctor (Olympic park is great if you're in Melbourne), assuming they're open - very pricey, but many of the doctors there are elite who deal/ have dealt with AFL, national & Olympic teams.

All the best with it.

Then after all their chest beating about being working class they make disparaging comments about the western suburbs and what a hole Footscray is. Just really awful and stupid people all in one.

It explains there attitude to the AFLW, just plunder the other clubs to buy a premiership.
 
What are you on about???? Who said he won't be missed????

You constantly set up straw man arguments so you can have a good old rant and abuse everyone else. I'm so over this behavior Matt.

It’s classic gaslighting and a victim mentality, funnily enough just like the orange dude from his avatar does.
 
I see that horrible trade radio kicks off again today. The cynic in me thinks Hutchy has probably cut a deal with Pickering not to announce a trade request for Dunkley until today.

There are some long term quality posters on here with a track record of getting good info. Many are in the footy business or close to particular players.

Importantly, it doesn't mean that the info pans out for a number of reasons and it doesn't mean the info was initially incorrect.

Many have stopped posting due to the crap they get from nobodies on here which is extremely disappointing.

Just thought this might be topical atm.

Personally I hope they don’t stop posting because folks like me really value any info people are willing to share.

I feel for you bro. I had problems with it for months until it snapped while Idid an F45 session. Felt better a couple of days later. Went to the podiatrist and he was shocked that it happened but not surprised that it helped.
Wish I could help more. Voltaren works for the pain as does icing it. Used to use a frozen bottle of water rolled under my feet.

It’s true and a shame. But guess whose one of the very worst for shouting down info shared they don’t believe or don’t want to believe?

Take the plunge!!

 
If we can use Dunkley to get Nathan broad and Charlie Constable I'd be happy. Add to that Jammara, Hannan and a chop out ruck and we will have a better list and better balance.
Yuck

I see they've added to their 'talent' this year by including noted list management whizz SOS for special comments. Should be thrilling listening🙄
