Be a fair argument to say Miles is our best mid. At least he stands up in finals.

If Miles got the attention North gave Cotch and Cotch got the freedom they gave Miles, there'd be no argument at all.

16 & 35 for Bennell

Cam mcathy no chance now

Freo lol

they got 26 in return

 

[Capitano_Cotch]

This might be an unpopular opinion on here but I think Yarran is better than Lennon anyway. Would love to have both but I am now resigned to losing Lennon and have made my peace with it.

 

[Crow_Sting]

Bennell & 22 from Gold Coast to Freo for 16 & 35. Confirmed.

 

[Stigmata]

With all the big signings and players recommitting to their clubs, I feel best case scenario is we get Yarran and Townsend whilst keeping pick 12 and Lennon. Worst case would be Lennon walks to Carlton in the PSD which pisses of Richmond who refuse to deal an earlier pick for Yarran. That leaves us with pick 12 and Townsend. Almost need to cut losses on this year and focus on wines, prestia, JOM next year.

No chance Prestia

Manager guaranteed he will sign with the Suns

NO! Every year it is "let's settle this year and focus on XXX next year". Not once has this approach worked for us. Need to focus on the targets THIS year!!

22

 

[Infamy]

No he didn't, he guaranteed that he'd be there for 2016, but said there are a lot of Melbourne clubs interested in him for after that

 

[Stigmata]

Aish firming to get to Collingwood

 

[Metapod]

Bennell & 22 from Gold Coast to Freo for 16 & 35. Confirmed.

Damn. This means we could have done 12 + third rounder for Bennell & 22, then on-traded 22 to Carlton for Yarran. So essentially:
12 + 3rd round for Bennell & Yarran.

God damn why did Bennell deal have to go wrong

 

[Tango67]

None of them can mark like him though

No but they all run faster and longer than him

 

[Komrade_Tiger]

Aish firming to get to Collingwood

how are they going to afford him? unofficial confirmation of 2015+2016 1st Rd for Treloar for GWS 2nd Rd

They can only use 1 more 2nd Rd, not both. How the **** is a 2nd Rd gunna be enough for Aish without a player going back? this is why lollingwood is so full of shit

 

[Stigmata]

No he didn't, he guaranteed that he'd be there for 2016, but said there are a lot of Melbourne clubs interested in him for after that

He will sign with the Suns

What targets are left?

 

[Stigmata]

There is a massive story about to break either this arvo or tomorrow re treloar

Have to compare apples with apples. A two year player v an 8 year player. A high half-forward marking type v a half-back/forward pocket run and carry. They're two totally different players

 

[docko911]

We could have got Bennell for our second.

**** we are useless

Well it can't be that he's going to Collingwood, thats not massive news. Either going somewhere else or that campaigner Blucher has been caught tampering again

He didn't want to come to the promised land brother. He decided to go home and **** his life up

 

[tigland]

that he signed with the Pies. SEN announced it earlier

 

[Grockadoc]

Got the feeling that it is the treloar deal that is holding us up at the moment. Have heard from someone with an affiliation to Collingwood that, despite us publicly stating we won't pursue Treloar, we have still been in contact with his management to try and get him across, hence our hesitance to part with our first for Yarran. If and when Treloar signs a deal with the pies, I've no doubt hte Yarran deal won't be far behind.

 

[docko911]

I think we decided he would go home by not being interested in him. The thing is he can play football, who gives a shit what he does off the field.

You heard this or you want this?

Works for me though.
