Lol what did he say? Because of the "sensitive" nature of all of this we thought we'd only deal with who we thought had enough to get the deal over the line?

That would have been us.

They thought they could keep it in isolation if they only dealt with Bombers? I couldn't see how wanting to come back to Victoria but only on the proviso that it's to your preferred club could do anything but draw attention to it.

Probably would be a mistake to make a play for him next year. He's shown where his heart is. He's a bombers supporter obviously and wants to be around his man Hirdy.

I would want to get to Melbourne if another team drafted me, so I can see where he's coming from.

KB: Why did you only negotiate with Essendon?

Lenton: 5 minute history lesson hoping we forgot the original question

KB: Yes but why did you only negotiate with Essendon?

Lenton: It was a sensitive negotiation

FFS - holds as much water as a sieve - reckon you've heard a few explanations like that from the dock Redleg - just before the judge says "Guilty"

When you don't make an offer, how exactly do you get 'screwed'?

Cos we should've had Caddy.

He was practically ours for the taking.

We had the goods to give up that would equate to a fair deal, and we were willing, but the deal didn't get done.

I'm not convinced we'll get better, but we could easily get worse.

If Lenton's comments are to be taken on face value then Caddy (and every other player he manages) should fire him.

Thought he was totally evasive and pathetic. Would fit right in at Bombers. I would still have a crack at Caddy.

schadenfreude

I don't quite know what that means? Can I try to guess, it sounds like Shady Fraud,,, But I'm probably wrong. I don't speaken Z Deutch.

It means taking pleasure in the misfortune of others.

A great concept, that is prevalent in footy due to the tribalistic nature of clubs and their supporters.

I waded out of the MCG waist deep in it on 1 October.

Schadenfreude ⁱ/ˈʃɑːdənfrɔɪdə/ (German: [ˈʃaːdənˌfʁɔʏdə]) is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.^[1] This German word is used as a loanword in English and some other languages, and has been calqued in Danish and Norwegian as skadefryd and Swedish as skadeglädje

If we ever have to return all of those words we've borrowed, the English language will cease to exist.

Well the "English" are Anglo-Norman-Saxons after all

Cheers, Daisy. I just had a read.

And I read up on the Saxons and Normans. I'm definitely part Viking from somewhere. And I have an affinity with France.

Whilst the Normans spoke a very backward version of French they were in fact more ethnically German than French having originally migrated south from Germanic areas before settling in Normandy

For many centuries in England the language of Court, Government and the Aristocracy was Norman French, but not for the common people

There is much Viking blood (and words) in the English too

Most modern English certainly don't share your "affinity" with the French.....LOL
