Oh dear.

Pity the Naughton option fell over.

Vomit.

According to Footywire Bruce has one year to run on his current contract.

I didn’t quite get where it came from, they just mentioned it.

This news has a bad whiff about it.

Brilliant strategy of trading in 2 players who are coming off long term injuries. If Bruce is only on our books for 1 year, then a straight swap for Tomlinson is ok. But if we extend his contract then we've lost the plot. 

Bring back Josh Mahoney.

Pinch hitter with presumably salary benefits if it’s a Tomlinson swap. 
Giant no deal if there is a salary impost back to Bulldogs.

Was even an option?

Feel like it was fairytale stuff..

Contrary to others this could be a master stroke. He like Tommo needs time and training to get over the ACL. Upside if he does snd good kick to Tommo with the ups and downs of Bevo.

If Bruce doesn't go well up forward  could play CHB maybe.  
 

Interesting to see if any payment for 2 years of Tommo contact of $500,000. 

Something out of nothing !! 

Sounds like we will get that big fish KPF afterall

Daydreaming from some of our Daydreaming Demonlanders about Naughton.

Josh Bruce and Ben Brown are the last 2 players to kick 10 goals in a game. 😉

Our fwd line might need to trade in some of those walking frames from the Cats' mad Monday too.

Fills a need at Casey with Mitch Brown retiring. 

That is what I was thinking if fit he could fill a role for us, seemed to kick a few goals for Saints and Dogs, 197cm, 97kg averages 1.5 goals perfect replacement for Mitch and has a bit of mongrel in him.

Didn't hear it myself, but pretty sure it came from a caller and Cal Twomey said something along the lines of 'have heard it, haven't been able to confirm it'.

Are we collecting man buns as our new list strategy?

I may owe GNF an apology…

Bruce for Tomlinson?

Has anyone said this is even being discussed by the clubs?

Has the Richmond doctor been consulted?

Of course Josh Bruce could be on a  'pathfinder' mission for Naughton.

 

 

 

I have it on good authority that on top of the medical he was asked to answer a multiple choice question.

I'm pleased to inform D'landers that my sauce (whose identity i am unfortunately not at liberty to reveal) gave me exclusive access to the question asked which i present for your reading pleasure below...

 

...."You are playing a KF role starting deep in the goal square.  However, Big Maxy has decided to push forward and drop into the hole at the top of the square.  You recognise the situation (ie; too many talls/opponents).  You are also under instruction to make space for Max to be able to either make a short lead or if he has a mis-match, for him to stay home in the square for a relatively easy contested 1 v 1 mark from a dumped bomb out of the middle.

Do you"...

A)  Lead hard to the left pocket/flank (along with 1 or 2 others, including Max!) knowing you have about a 1 in 5 chance of converting should you out mark a pack of 5 to 7 players?

B)  Lead straight up the guts drawing your opponent to about 30 meters, feign as if doubling back but instead push off your opponent putting in a hard but short lead for a hit up option knowing you have a very high likelihood of converting from about 45 out either directly in front or on a slight angle?

C)  Lead hard to the right pocket/flank (along with 1 or 2 others, including Max!) knowing you have about a 1 in 5 chance of converting should you out mark a pack of 5 to 7 players?

Apparently he chose the only correct options (A & C) and they are finalising the trade papers as we speak.
