I also think Josh Mahoney's media performances neatly find the right balance between telling the truth but not necessarily the whole truth. That's important both for members and supporters to know what's going on but also to enable him to keep his powder dry should other opportunities arise.

Yes that was my take LD.  Very media savvy is Mahoney.  Tells you how it is without telling much at all.

You think? This trade looks ridulously one sided. We have no second rounder for no reason and It’s quite reasonable we finish back in the pack next year, with North benefiting greatly. 

For the board to agree to do this gives me little faith. 

We traded our second rounder for Ed Langdon, which is a superb use of that pick.

And next year’s pick 18 in a weak draft is not nearly as good as pick 8 in this year’s draft.

I reckon it’s really astute.

We lost pick 26 in this weeks draft. We have no second and third rounder. 

Since the end of the trade period, things have understandably quietened down. I’ve heard lots of clubs covered on the radio shows but nothing lately from Melbourne or from Josh Mahoney himself. Wondering if anyone has heard him lately.

What a misconceived statement - if you understand governance it is not for the board to interfere or approve list mgt deals - if you really think our list management is poor how did we go from prob the worst list five years ago to arguably the best list which btw has already been improved over trade period and with picks 3 and 8 to come, all in the space of 5 years.  If the list mgt team is the problem do you reckon board CEO etc would have done something?  Of course they would have just look at the track record
