Good effort Meatloaf

I was going to respond, but I Won't Do That

I was going to respond, but I Won't Do That

For crying out loud....why not

 

[Iamspock]

Agree, but god he's a douche.

Just had to get that out.

He's a talented douche and he'd be our douche, so that makes him a better quality douche than the other douches...

 

[threenewpadlocks]

Honestly,

2/3 isn't too bad

Damn you Sexy Bailey Smith abs

You weren't to know that Smith's abs were worth hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to Hawthorn or Geelong VD, we'll allow it.

We all know it's fair so let's not speak anymore about it.

 

[Hoges64]

He has been playing this year though just been underwhelming, he may come goof but I dont see it personally.

This, I've watched him a number of times and I just don't see it.

I'd give my left nut to see Butters at the dogs. One of my favourite players to watch. Him and the bont together would be untouchable.

 

[Bonty4]

One is gone, one on a below market offer, one is staying. You work out who is who

Ok so im 2/3 so far

Prediction: Timid Timmy turns into Tenacious Timmy in 2025. (Well, I can dream, can't I?)

That's OK

I have this one

I’m sure it has been discussed many times already in this thread, however when JUH’s next contract comes up there will be a lot of demand and it will cost us a lot of cap to retain him.

Is the general consensus he will likely sign with us?

With Tasmania coming in, I'm expecting it will also cost us big money to keep Sanders.
Darcy won't be cheap in a couple of years either.

It could be worse. We could have a bunch of spuds coming through.

English signing is more important than it would have been a month or so ago when we were looking at a top 10 compensation pick vs now a pick 11+.

If the WCE were going to throw a 7 year and 7 million offer, then I would of happily driven Timmy to the airport for a top 5 compo pick.
You don't blow your cap on Timmy or Bailey.
You give it to the The Bont and future stars in Darcy.

The best we could've possibly got was a pick immediately following our first (now owned by the Suns) so pick 13 which would become pick 14 after Saints get pick 6 as compensation for Battle.

see: Brisbane offering Dunkley the world and us some scraps

It makes perfect sense from the destination club's point of view. They want the opposition's best players but they don't want to give them any assets in return that would make the player's original club any stronger. So it has gradually become a game of the list manager shrugging his shoulders and saying "well he nominated us but what can we do? we had already made arrangements to on-trade all our top draft picks [LOL] so there's not much we can offer you. How about a couple of future seconds?"

Clubs will naturally try it on every time. Baz probably doesn't give a shit about us. He's just telling his destination club to get it done, don't care how.

The clubs and the AFL may be a bit scared of the AFLPA but at some point some club has to stand up to the nominated clubs every year pulling this sort of shitty trick. And say "no deal, no trade". A bit like we did with Dunks and Dodoro.

I'd love to see it come to that sort of impasse, especially as Baz doesn't seem to give a shit about us. Otherwise it's just going to get worse every year.

16 after bids for Ashcroft and Lombard

 

[Bonty4]

Btw funny how the media have gone silent on the Baz talk lately

Likely there's nothing to talk about. It's all on Demons now.

16 after bids for Ashcroft and Lombard

I don't really count them since we would never have had a chance at them anyway.

 

[Claudonious]

People said that about Stringer.

We got Ed Richards from the Stringer deal - working out ok.Richards or Stringer anyone?

 

[King Harold]

He’d be our best recruit since ….?

I’m with Smiley - Treloar
Maybe - Aker ?
Right up there if not cut down by injury - Lally Bamblett

 

[Dog 36]

Yep I reckon! Or Boyd?

Glenn Coleman aka Galaxy

 

[King Harold]

Glenn Coleman aka Galaxy

Yeah he was great for us , but the others might have him covered for ability.

Richard Osborne anyone ?

 

[mattwa]

Surely we can get Petracca. Can you imagine him and bont. If he wants success we would be flag favourites with him

Where will treloar play when all three of Bont, Petracca and Butters are in the midfield?
