Coming in here from the JW thread is like going for a sunday drive into the country side from the busy city.

Curious as to why a lot of the better mail on here seems to come to us via Perth?

@Chook in Perth

 

Has reliable inside info

 

Unsure of what "personal" favours he needs to do in order to obtain said info, but he must be doing a satisfactory job.

Someone just posted on Bigfooty that Rhys Stanley will go to GC for Ablett.

After providing all the big breaking trade news stories before they happen you certainly deserve a weekend of leisure Ethan.

BTW just how does a high octane cutting edge journalist such as yourself wind down?

I know Chook in Perth is originally from Melbourne and his contacts are (obviously) in Melbourne also.

We got pick 3 for Frawley.  I wouldn't be whinging 

At least Frawley had runs on the board. He was an AA and whether we chose to believe it or not, a quality KPD...

I like to do dance workouts.

Nobody tell him/her.

He/she will just waste either an afternoon or the next few weeks...

You assume that he/she identifies as such. He/she may identify as gender neutral. Or gender fluid.

Still not worth pick 3

Of course, I should have realized!

I imagine Zumba would be a little passe for you Ethan. I'm guessing a spot of pole dancing would be more to your taste.

Would have been pick 19 if we won the premiership. 

I'm ok with a lower placed team getting compensation for a good player leaving. It stands to reason that they aren't very good because they have less good players. Less about what the player is worth as an individual and what the loss of that individual means to the team overall.

Of course Buddy is worth more than pick 19 in isolation, but the Hawks as a team were clearly more than capable of dealing with his loss.

Maximum compensation should be pick 11 so all the non finalists get to pick first. Ironically if that's what we got we probably would've drafted Lever! 

If the max a team could get was pick 11 then the Franklin for 19 deal wouldn't have been so bad, especially when they signed Frawley for free the next year. Frawley and 19 for Franklin isn't such a bad deal, not when you keep winning premierships!

You would be correct. I prefer to put on a Culture Club album and do a bit of interpretive dance. I’ve been known to swing around a pole every now and again and get my slide on.
