Why would Luke Parker want to go to nth?

Does he want September off? Or does he feel he can help the younger players at nth and wants a change.

Geelong could re-sign Parfitt as a DFA and the media would pump it up like it's a stroke of genius.

Geelong allegedly pursuing all of Martin, Bailey Smith, and Oliver is starting to look like a whole lot of under-the-table deals and a 'make sure he loses it in this casino' vibe.

Meanwhile, Bulldogs Best and Fairest had an interesting quirk that not a single player from their forward line made the top ten. Ugle-Hagan, Naughton, Weightman and Darcy all missed. That's a lot of salary cap consumed for what the club itself is saying is not much return.

Martin will be on SFA

Tuohy, Hawkins, Parfitt and their other delistings may have cleared up significant salary for next year. They also have a lot of other older players who will be coming off their deals and possibly retiring in the coming years.

Deals can be structured to support the club, Smith and Oliver may have theirs front ended or back ended so the club can fit them in.

Clubs can also just pay you more when they have a surplus at the end of the year. Say 5 players have a $100k performance bonus for making the All-Australian team but none of them make it. That's $500k the club could give to a player that year, and take it off a latter year of their contract. All legal and stuff clubs do.

Fiorini attempting to find a new home on a multi-yr deal, with one year left on Suns deal.

We’re the obvious ones to bite given lack of midfield depth but I’m not a huge fan, he is just really inconsistent. Billings kind of sitting in the role he would play anyway as that midfielder-come hff

Is that like MDMA?

But yes, you are right - I see Martin as being more in the 'lose it in this casino' side of the comment.

Bailey and Oliver, though... that's big money.

Only that he is looking for multiple yrs. 1 yr left on gc contract 

 

Good thing they leapfrogged us at the end of the season. 

 


John Noble is being massively overrated this trade period. Wasn’t in there best 22 12 months ago yet all of a sudden the pies want more for him than what we want for Nibbler

Agree. Pies want a 2nd and 3rd round pick in 20s and 40s. Why? He wasn’t best 22.  
 

Dees apparently getting pick “28” for Nibbler.  Will likely be pick 33 once the father son and academy picks get done (Ashcroft, Lombard, Ben Camporeale, Marshall, Kako all should be nominated in before pick 18!!) and the Nibbler finished 3rd in MFC B&F . Dees getting screwed but have little to argue with as we have agreed to let him go.

And they'll get it because they are good negotiators, demand a ridiculous amount, don't roll over and end up getting less than they asked for but more than it's worth.

But hey, they don’t get as many ‘nice guy points’ as we do, right?
 

Where can we redeem those nice guy points by the way?

They want GC's 1st 13. They'll have to include their F1 to get it.

They likely offer something like F1 + Noble for 13 + 29

Whether GC bites is another question, they have a lot of options for 13.

Nice try by Pies but would GC get enough points for Lombard if they entertained that?

They've got 23, 41 and 49 so probably.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
