In my defence, I found it hilarious. But who doesn't love their own material.

I'm sorry I've upset you. Point is, we all shouldn't get too sucked in by what players say publicly and try to over analyse it.

Who says if he comes to us that we aren't up there in 4 odd years time? A bloke named Paul Roos is a good operator. Who thought Angus Monfries would be playing in a prelim this year.

Don't worry. Deep down BBO is a loving bloke. This is his way of showing affection to you.

No I didn't misunderstand your cheap shot at my post at all. I posted on the basis of an interview I actually heard on the radio. Your unfunny and invented reductio ad adsurdum piece of sarcasm drew a question from me that you are unable to answer. In future, if you cant put up then shut up.

Have had far too many wines to really take that in. Will be off the library in the morning! After my cheese and tomato on toast of course!

The positive whispers were from my wife about the breakfast I cooked... LOL.

I was told we are going hard is all. But considering PJ went hard enough to get Roos I think that sounds positive. But danger is only one of many.

Anyone else mentioned Dylan Shiel?

i must admit this trade period Im hearing far less than i was this time last year. Roos has obviously commanded a very tight ship.

Surely we'd offer Shiel and Treloar big contracts. But Roosy also likes to go for those guys from left field.

Personally now that danger is in doubt I think id be more satisfied with Shiel or Treloar in terms of age bracket.

They may just cost us less too. GWS seem happy to trade with us a bit, so I'd say one of them is very gettable. Just not sure they'd let both go.

Yes, NSC I did mention that this morning. We are going hard at both he and Danger. Even if one comes off it would be positive

Getting one of them might also improve our chances of other mids coming across.

hah, just be sure Melb16, to not let Bbo get behind you, for you know not what he has in his hand, or his/her plans for you ?

thats good NS'sC

but just one question mate, who was it you telling you again?

Less ships sunk with fewer lips apart

a) Why do they want to leave?

b) What do we give them? Is pick 2 and 3 too much? It will have to be a better deal than the one landed us Tyson because they are proven quality players.

I would trade pick 2 or 3 for Treloar in a heartbeat.

Ditto, the problem is i think he is worth more than just pick 2 alone

I went to a post grand final function late last night and I ran into a friend who's gone into player management. I don't know if he specifically works with Dangers management group, but he gave me 100% guarantee he wasn't coming to us. We made contact, he spoke to us but we weren't the right fit for him. Take it as you will. I hope for Melbournes sake GNF is on the money, but I've had a few good bits from this bloke in the past.

This absolutely stacks up to me.

It is also not inconsistent with what GNF has stated to date.

I think we will miss out on Danger but i'm confident the club will come through with the goods again just like last year, hopefully even better this time.

GWS had 10 first round draft picks running around in the twos at one stage late in the year. There are a lot of talented peed off players there for the taking.

I am now convinced that he is not joining our team next year, people that say they are happy with this are full of it. Would have been even better than getting Roos but as usual we get it shafted.

Not getting a player who was never really coming to us other than in our own heads is not getting shafted. We're not worse off than we were before, it just seems that way as the prospect seemed so exciting.

Don't get me wrong, I was hopeful and I'm a little bit disappointed too, but you've just got to be really careful getting your hopes up really high on so-so information. I think that's what a few people have done.

Why would he come here? Could go anywhere he wanted.

We don't offer enough other than money and possibly Roos.

Getting Roos is the best thing that's happened to this club during my lifetime.

Would be massive to land Dangerfield, but sorry - it's not even on the same page as getting Paul Roos to this club.

Even if we don't get danger we have shitloads of cap space and a couple of top 5 picks

I have no doubt he would not be the only target

Maybe Roos equal with Jimmy coming on board as an administrator. Without Jimmy I'm not sure there would be a Club for Roos to coach

Haha I have! I think I need to remember sarcasm is not easily detected in written form. That has to be it...

you also need to take into account that country bumpkins from romsey are just a little s l o w on the uptake
