anyone on bomber blitz as Xavier Mendes has struck again. Says Wines and Gunston are on board.

This is the post...


Hi Guys & Gals
You might remember me from bigfooty. I am still active on BigFooty but I was under-appreciated and felt like everyone trolled me for good measure. I got absolutely everything correct except Gaff. I called WCE trading with us last year, shiel, stringer, smith etc… I do have very good intel on the club and I am happy to answer some questions.
Before you ask about player contracts and targets ill put this here;
EFC:
Saad - Undecided IMO gone if carlton add 1/2 years
Raz - Gone
Daniher - Likely to stay - Will get a update shortly
McGrath - Almost certain to stay
Langford - Has offers
Ridley - Staying (accurate as of sept 25)
Hurley - Might be moved on
Merrett - My lips are sealed, sorry
Hooker - Staying
Ham - Gone
Guelfi - Gone
Stringer - Staying
Targets:
Taranto - No chance
Brodie - Not interested
Smith - on theboard
Crouch - Interest
Wright (aka 2MP) - Interest
Docherty - Interested
Wines - on the board
Gunston - on the board
Cripps - dreaming
Shaw/Houli unlikely

I had to look when I saw the name Xavier Menzies.

He also thinks we are getting Isaac Smith and have interest in Crouch and Docherty.

 

[faible]

are on board

on the board

Amazing how much difference a single word makes to context.

If he is right about even half of this, I will never doubt him again...

 

[Milanista28]

He's just a troll

 

[11kgm]

Docherty?

Just resigned

 

[andleanback]

Just resigned

And is the captain haha

 

[JT_the_Man]

He's just a troll

But I thought he just landed?

 

[Beerfish]

That guy was banned for a reason. He pissed a lot of people on this board off with his crap.

If his crap is posted anyway what was the point?

 

[11kgm]

Re signed

 

[andleanback]

Re signed

I know... what’s your point

 

[11kgm]

I know... what’s your point

So why would we go for him

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Hi Guys & Gals
You might remember me from

Troy McClure-ish

 

[andleanback]

So why would we go for him

We wouldn’t.. and won’t. Don’t know why you’re telling me this.

I needed a good laugh today thanks for this

If this is true...



They really cannot help it can they.

Tom Morris said the following:

I do want to make one thing clear... There was a report this morning that Adam Saad was being lured to Carlton by the club's president and the promise of a new car. I've spoken to the club and Saad's manager John Meeson and both have emphatically denied this in the strongest way.

Lol Tom Browne.

 

[yodellinhank]

lol.
There is little i wouldnt give up for Taranto.

Not... surely not that?

The truth is often somewhere in the middle, they say. Maybe they're offering a roadtrip to the Sunny Coast with Juddy.

I'm angry that Carlton have allegedly gone and done something so Carlton that for a second it makes me stop hating Carlton and think that it's pretty cute how Carlton they are.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Amazing how much difference a single word makes to context.

We're getting a pretty full board. Sheeds, Wines, Gunston.

Who else we gonna target?

 

[Milanista28]

Assuming Joe, Raz and Saad want out, My Ideal (fantasy) trade period...

Get band 1 for Joe (Pick 7)
Trade 7 for 18 and Robertson
Trade Raz to Port for Pick 29
Trade Saad and 29 to Blues for 8
Trade 6 and 8 to GWS for Taranto and Riccardi

Draft 18, 42, 61, 69, 70

Francis Hurley Ridley
Redman BZT Smith

Draper McGrath Taranto
Merrett Shiel Langford

Stringer Riccardi Snelling
Tippa Stewart Cahill

Parish Robertson Heppell Laverde

Tom Morris about Clayton Oliver potentially leaving:

"I think like lots of players at Melbourne, he's restless. Wasn't happy finishing 5th in b and f which is a bit childish in my view. But he's competitive. He's also very important for the Dees."

We'll give him a B&F without breaking a sweat if he comes. Maybe even a brownlow.

Swap Merrett and Oliver please. Thanks Dodo.

because some people need a laugh in today's world of lockdown?

As far as player for player swaps go, that's a good one, reckon both teams become better with that swap.
