Would he still want to go to Whorethorn after the developments  and reported toxic culture?

Yes we’ve had that discussion as well …it’s pretty big $ …and hawks are still offering him the opportunity to go into the midfield..two things we are not. So …not sure..I mean Bobby Hill is off to Collingwood after their history which is a lot more recent …

 

 

I’m always excited to see the little @Demonlandfigure next to a thread because I know that the boss has linked to a relevant news story or revelation.

Hows that for pandering. #cantbebannednow

 

this de goey stuff is hilarious

It is funny, but don’t hex it. It supposed to end with him having an ironclad contract with St Kilda that he gets the balance of one year in after he’s fired for attending burning man and being filmed snorting Wizz Fizz with Wayne Carey…

Let's just hope he attends the right burning man and it's not a burning little man, because, you know, St Kilda.

This will be sorted and De Goey will stay. Bit of posturing from both sides.

It's all about if the Pies could sack him/not pay him, over a very minor matter.

Soft as melting butter, you obviously like flakey players!? We are talking about Hill aren't we??

A meat pie needs a bit of buttery flake on the top crust Mr Picket, otherwise it's too dry!

Buttery flake can lodge between your teeth, causing decay and extraction. AGAIN, NO THANKS!

Its hard not to get a bit agitated by all the noise about certain players and not much mention of us apart from Grundy. I have no reason to believe it as our recent history has been tight lipped and no leaks, but i sincerely hope we are looking at lots of players that might make us 10% better, i e Jack Gunston. He just seems like a logical fit, especially since Brown and McDonald are no certainties to be there in Round 1, and it could be JVR.. imagine the expertise and guidance he would have on the young fella. 

I know our lot is in with our mid stars and they take up a fair chunk of money, but we cannot stand still. I think Grundy will be great, im ok with him, i think he will provide flexibility for us. But we still need to identify key areas, like foot skills, what i would give for a beautiful left footer that is an elite user of the ball, hopefully Salem can get fit and learn how to kick more than 20ms.

Anyway, time will tell, i just hope we learn from 2018 when we thought it was just going to happen the next year, we need improvements across teh whole club, style, fitness but for me its  attitude and skill.

I could be wrong, but any player we target will have to wait until we've made our Grundy trade, Tomlinson and perhaps another, to know there is sufficient cap space or craft capital to get it done. And we might never know who they were, as it's not necessary to be public until then.

I hoped we'd be into the jack bowes pick 7 salary dump up to our ears, but it seems GCS are negotiating with clubs that don't have to get their ducks in order first. Then with 13 + 7 + Freo Future 1st we are refreshing the bottom 6 (for now) with top 20 picks. It would be the dream, Port style (Rozee, Butters, Dursma)

By all reports this years is quite a weak draft particularly the first round, next year is expected to be quite strong

You forgot to add that this is going to be the ‘busiest trade period ever’ - followed by a week of nothing happening that culminates in North swapping 2 third round picks for a Gold Coast future 2nd.

And then making a "blockbuster" trade for one of Richmond's depth talls and play them in the VFL all year?

Narkle is out of Geelong, is he worth looking at? Seems to possess talent, just inconsistent.

Jordon is the only one who actually kicks it to King Charles! 

D4life actually raises a terrific point about Spargs getting space by himself to receive and deliver (or line-'em-up) yet is being ignored by nearly all of his teammates. The 'long bomb' has significantly weakened our team and so many of our players still keep attempting to kick 'that one' that reaches a forward target successfully. Seldom, rarely, almost never occurs.

Spargs may well have kicked 20-30 goals in the 2022 season if the game plan had 'permitted' it to occur. This has to change. Jordan's effectiveness overall is commendable and his kicking to Spargs remains a vital cog in the wheel of deliberation. He can see the more frequent potential, knowing Spargs' is just about our best 'deliverer' and 'feeder of forwards'. It's game plan stuff, once again ... it is stuff that should be better rehearsed and exploited.

ay we're here for the trade rumours, not the depressing 2022 game plan lamentations
