Perhaps Peter Bell is 'the real victim here'... having watched too many episodes of Suits and/or the movie Draft Day - doesn't understand that they're fictional.

perhaps bell end sees himself as the wolf of wall street

Haha Bell is totally Lewis Litt from season 1. 

Such a chump who no body in the office likes.

Melbourne and Fremantle have chatted today. And Fremantle and Jesse are still in contact.

The above, and -  if Jessie's not looking at a premiership (if he was then the least disruptive course would be to sign-on for longer with us) and instead a fresh start after a personally hellish few years, then the anonymity that comes with Queensland footy could hold the answer. 

Both Brisbane and Gold Coast are well placed to provide potentially satisfying trades from the MFC's perspective.

Which would put paid to the wanna go home reasoning.  

Similarities with Mitch ? who desperately wanted Perththen was lured my Melbourne $$$, broke his foot and headed off to another suitor.

On SEN this morning Watson said that Freo don't want to make the same mistake they made with Bennell. Hmm interesting comment!!!!!!

 

Has Jesse got issues with his calves? Because to be fair, that was the primary issue that sent Bennell away from focusing on his footy.

And what would that discussion be I wonder? We still want you Jesse but we don't want to pay the big bad east coast side what you are worth because I am short and I have to make up for my inadequacies by showing how tough I am and smart too, but it's not about how fantastic & tough I am it's all about you Joffa sorry what was your name again?

And just when we get this thread back on track, you introduce the meat industry!

He thinks he is Sonny Weaver Jr but is more likely to end up Jeff Carson.

I'm a bit confused about all the wrist slashing.

Option One:  We trade Hogan to our advantage (as determined by the FD)

Option Two:  We keep Jesse who is an elite talent.

What's the problem?

whats the problem?

quite simple....we wouldn't have him for very long before it all goes deja vu

This has to be one of the weirdest trade time in AFL history?

[special robert 438]

A lot of people have made some very stupid comments here on this thread and they should be held to account! Next Wednesday night blame will be apportioned, those like me who were right all along will be vindicated. Those who made the wrong call get to choose between the Ricky Nixon or Peter Bell avatar for life. I think the blame apportioning should be carried out by committee and expect it could run for a week or two.

last i understood you werent in charge.. did i miss the memo

The AFL have asked me to step in here....this thread is a shambles.........I can't say much more but this is coming from the very top.

I've given up with draft theories, pick swapping, home sicknesses and the like. 

This is exactly how the AFL want draft week to play out, so the public continues to talk about football instead of Cricket, Soccer, Basketball etc. 

This all should have been completed within a week.

Can't wait until Wednesday when it's all done.

There was a time a man's word was sufficient , or a handshake.

Today CONTRACTS are hardly worth the paper. No one's going to get excited about a nod here...or there.

Yes, and all dignity and morality means absolutely nothing if an improved dollar outcome is chased - whether received or just missed.

...with advertising runs in batches of 8 - 10 as the commentators really don't have much to say in that exposure interval.

As that was one of the stupidest comments on the thread, special robert, does that mean you are volunteering for the aforementioned avatars as a form of sanction? Bezel and I would be happy to so apportion.

I can't be stuffed going through all the pages - last I heard Freo had released a statement saying they weren't pursuing this anymore? Am I missing something? 

No, you’re on the money Mondè.

Hogan will be at Melbourne for another 12 months. May won’t be coming. 

Freo aren’t giving us pick 5 for Hogan even if they do send Neale to Brisbane. 

All the trade permutations posters on here are rambling on with will be for nought.
