compensation refers to picks...picks and trades are about draffting.. Theres a whole board about drafting

Sorry Red..sorry OLd

merge this otherwise..

we cannot always agree BB

The "before he signs" bit is where your idea hits a snag.

In the words of the non singing Hanson the great Pauline "please explain".

Some Western Bulldogs supporters think that the dogs' Sam Ried will be traded to GWS in exhange for pick 5 or 7 on Callan Ward's request (they're best mates apparently)in a similar deal to the one you're suggesting. Surely the AFL would come down hard on deals like these that are obviously dodgy after the 'Veal deal' a few years ago.

Who said the Scully thread was just about whether he goes or stays? You're recommending an action Scully should take if he's going to GWS - it absolutely belongs in the other thread. It beggars belief that you cannot see this.

Just shows how dumb I am. Wonderful instead of dealing with my idea/suggestion, we are now concentrating on where the bloody thread belongs. God help this club.

I'm worried you're not joking.

I thought Sam played for the Swans or are there two of them? If it is the Swans' Sam there is no way they would clear him for one of those picks.

What about if I said "before he changes his mind".

No dice unfortunately, though I like your idea.

What I meant was ... no point clapping for an encore of Blue Suede Shoes when Elvis has already left the building.

I think the thread should be merged with something and since I'm a moderator I propose to move it to the GWS thread on the trading and drafting board when I get home tonight.

The reason is that I think the whole issue of compenation for players plundered by GWS should be treated separately and is an important issue for the club and for all AFL clubs for reasons beyond the simply one of the players involved.

Does that make everybody happy ?

Indeed, the implication that your take on the matter warrants its own thread, away from the great unwashed, is a cause for concern.

And for the last time, do you have any comment on the substantive point, or do you wish to just keep commenting on my mental state?

This site seems to be turning into an abuse mechanism and if so is losing its appeal.

PS. Do you still live near TBO? Its been a while since I have had a drink there, I think I need one.

What about a couple of the verses and a chorus from "Suspicious Minds"?

Delirious.

We probably all do - well all except Tom.

I have heard from an unimpeachable source that they do a magnificent banana smoothie at the Breakfast Point dining room.

If you stand up and clap loud enough for "Don't Be Cruel" ... maybe ... just maybe.

One would hope so in QLD.

Well I am off to open a red, waiting for Mrs Old Dee to come home.

The magpie can drive tonight ( only bloody way I can beat them )

Okay ... enough.

This is my last post until the 'decision' is announced.

Well done, you lasted almost three hours.

Different thread, different rules.

There's actually quite a few laughs to be had in this one.

People need to lighten up a bit.
