That Lachie Neale fellow is better than I thought. Apparently won the Dally M award last year, too.

L N staying at Brisbane.!!! Glad to hear this.!!!

Damn... it would have been a bad trade for both Brisbane and Freo.

[Demons1858 1,760]

Smart move ... I would say I was staying too if I wanted to the media to back off when there is no certainty that I and my current club can / will  come to terms with Freo ... lets see what happens over the trade period however

Hell no. 

We need to look internally and to the draft. 

Don't need any players that aren't A-Class' players

Mitch Robinson has to build some bridges after his dummy spit. Will feel like a real goose - which he is.

I thought it's been established as a fake account...if not does it disqualify Mitch from winning the Dally M?

I didn’t know. I thought it was strange. So I take it back - everything except the goose reference which I still think is apt.

I'm really interested in the reported pursuit of Adam Cerra for a few reasons, 

1. we wouldn't make an approach if we didn't realisitically think we could get a deal done

2. what role is he going to play? is the intention for him to play on the opposite wing to Langdon? 

It seems to me that our 2022 first round pick, pick 36 and a fringe player or pick swap could be a reletively okay deal, but Freo will push hard for Jackson or Rivers to be included

Every time there's a potential trade, people seem to forget it doesn't have to be a straight swap between two clubs. Third and fourth parties often get involved. Using Cerra purely as an example, we could trade some handy but (for us) depth players to another club in return for an early draft pick that then finds its way to Freo.

Just a couple of little snippets I have is that Geelong & Richmond are looking at Tarrant from Kangas.  Swans unlikely to now have the salary cap for Barrass from WCE, who was interested in moving to Sydney for family reasons. 
 

My mail is that Cerra told a close contact of mine that he really believed he was meeting with Dees to just “tick a box” but now he is genuinely considering them.

• REPORT: Richmond pair Mabior Chol and Callum Coleman-Jones are being targeted by the Gold Coast Suns as the Suns look to bolster their forward stocks.

Is the box he’s ticking the one next to “play for a good team who currently has a coach and a chance in hell?”

The box ticking was from his psychiatrist to approve a move to Carlton and sign of on his mental health he had to meet with a well run club so he could ensure he made a rational decision.

They are tricky them shrinks…

Mustn’t be many key defenders around. Tarrant played 10 games this year and is 32. Wouldn’t have much left in him you’d think

I think the attraction is Tarrant might be interested in moving if it's to a club that may play finals and he would be relatively cheap.  Also worth keeping in mind that his 10 games was affected by a very unusual medical issue and not necessarily his body failing him.

Geelong interested in a 32 year old - he's right in their demographic recruiting window - a likely replacement for Lachie Henderson who hasn't been great this finals series; they would not have much salary cap room either.  List is about to fall off a cliff - roll of the dice.

Richmond - Astbury replacement - not as dire as Geelong's list, but reloading for 1 more tilt while they still have Cotchin, Riewoldt and Dusty can still do Dusty things.   If I was Tarrant and the motivation to move was success this is who I would choose.
