They can trade on the night. Don't reckon they trade today

What about: Melb give 6 and 11, receive 3 North give 2 and 11, get 1 and 6 WC give 1, receive 2 and 11 North get Reid and Caddy, WC get Whoever they want at 2 (Curtin or Duursma), Dees get Duursma/McKercher/Watson/Whoever.

How tardy was the time keeper on that siren?

Sounds like we will play Bulldogs again in round 1

Gary Pert has just out a very long statement addressing Clayton Oliver, Joel Smith, Simon Goodwin and the MFC culture

Even the AFL are bored

This is the news item

Listening to the Channel 9 sports bit where Norris made this comment, it didn't sound like progress had been made. Just that it's a trade still to be finalised, it probably will be and the soonest it can be done is... checks watch... tomorrow.

We give up Petty, 11 and a future first? No way

Yeah, I just had a listen to it, just wanting to hear him talking about how good our girls were. Instead, it was all about how unfair it was they had to play us, given we won it last year and they won the spoon. His point was in a 10 game season, 1 shouldn't play 18. But it was a real toys out of the cot moment

This was before this rounds games

JvR was a first round pick 2 years ago, and has developed well since then. No way would I be trading anywhere near that. He'll be a 200 gamer for them. JvR and 11 at the most. Not pick 6 as well

If Petty's going to leave anyway, I'd rather Petty for 10, 20 and McAdam, then pass 6 and 10 and future first to WC for Darling and 1.

It was BS. They were both at a Connor's Sports breakfast

We have Fritta. Gunston isn't the key forward we need

The danger is North who need KPP, but maybe they think O'Sullivan is the better option as a pure KPB rather than Curtain as a tall HBF/mid.

Won't consider offer of extension is concerning though.

Grundy done for 46 and future Sydney 2nd rnd pick

Gives us the chance to throw cash at Petty to extend beyond 2025

You'd hope so, given Adelaide paid only 23 and 26 for our previously held 14 and Chris Burgess...

Oh man, that's gross. I get we probably won't use 27 and 35, but both of them for a 3 pick upgrade? Yuck

Dees getting GCs pick 11

Pick 7 and Hayne's crazy money for 27 Petty and 35 for 10, 20, Thilthorpe and McAdam (may be too much from Adelaide but Petty is contracted) F1 and 20 for GC's 11 Leaves us with 6, 7, 10 and 11
