Is this possible?
Please don't get my hopes up.
I am not feeling good vibes around Lobb.
I'll leave the points and future thirds to the experts..

I would like Grundy if he wasn't poor as a forward. That means English will play forward a lot.

 

[BrisDog]

He will be Brisbanes next captain I reckon

Loyalty is always an important factor when choosing a club captain - that campaigner has very little of it.

Upgrade on Zorko though.

 

[gangsta deluxe]

My understanding is that we don’t want Grundy as English wants to be the primary ruck.

 

[maddog37]

If we have made a commitment to Lobb we should honour it imho.

 

[Barking Mad]

I like the cut of your jib

Grow that beard out and we may have a new peoples beard

If they lowball us and then make him captain, that would be even worse

 

[Nat Fyfe]

I was pretty hesitant to see us give any more than Pick 39 to Freo for Lobb.

But after Brisbane had the nerve to ask for Pick 30 + 39 in return for 21 + F1, I'd be more than happy to send both those picks to Freo just as a middle finger to Brisbane

 

[doggie dog]

its Dunkley's fault for choosing a s**t manager

Totally agree, Dunkley signed up to this nuffy as a manager.
He would of green lighted this move.
Dunkley is just as culpable

 

[gordo2016]

Far too late to make a play for Grundy, would have already committed to Melbourne and he isn't going to go to any other club just because they ask him. Concentrate on getting the Lobb deal done.

 

[Munnez]

That's incredibly depressing.

The whole 'just do the deal and be grateful for what you get - stop being difficult' attitude towards us blows my mind.

Polar opposite to what it would be if it was Geelong or Tigers. Media would be lording them for taking a strong stance and being a well organised strong club that don't tolerate being *ed over

Straw poll of the hardcore fans...

 

[LittleG]

We will have a few FS coming through in the next few years after this one.
We seriously need to get in multiple late first / early second round picks, to balance out only getting 1/2 top line players per year for a few years.

 

[Dog 36]

Upgrade on Zorko though.

Zorko is easy to upgrade on

Early doors, but imo would take a big leap from Croft to be pushing toward the top of the draft next year.

I dont get the feeling we will be cutting deep this year. We still have a 35 year old cooked Stefan Martin yet to announce his retirement.

 

[The Inbetweener]

AFL have shut down the proposed mega trade with Port unable to trade both their F1 and F2 picks.

Would love to offer our F2 plus to get Bergman and allow them to do the trade.

 

[ScragCity]

If we have made a commitment to Lobb we should honour it imho.

At any cost? Didn't Freo say they wouldn't trade him unless we offered Bont or Naughton?

Speaking in absolutes about how we should conduct a negotiation is just stupid, imo. I agree that we should honour it within reason.

 

[ScragCity]

Straw poll of the hardcore fans...

It's a stupid framing. 12 & 19 isn't two first rounders, but if we had been offered that I doubt many would rather send him to the draft. Conversely, Brisbane's original offer was for two first rounders, but the entirety of the deal was unacceptable.

We'd never really "send him to the draft," anyway. If he goes it would be his choice. We'd put an offer in front of him and hope that he'd ultimately take it.

I'd even offer more. He's really good.

 

[Dogs Rule]

The choice between Zorko (look up his past personal issues) and a two time traitor in Dunkley. If they make Dunkley captain may as well put it down as A.Dunkley.

 

[dergert]

I thought there'd be a lot of interest for Crozier. He's a decent enough player

Thanks for that captain obvious.

I doubt it. He's probably looking at next year and trying to get the best out of himself then seeing if he's done enough to earn a new contract or hope for a life line.

Dunkley is out driving with his manager thinking the ride to the Lions will be a breeze when this happens
