It might be cynical, but I hope this is based on merit and not just a feel good news story expected to excite the fan base. I think we're beyond that now, and just need the best people, regardless of their background

Afl.com reporting we offered 49, Brisbane initially wanted more. Reckon it probably gets done but maybe nothing back our way

Could we do 49 for Sharp, 60 and 66? Gives Brisbane another roughly 100pts Or 49 for Sharp and 66, knowing 66 will come in substantially (10-15 places or so) when Brisbane, Essendon and GC match their academy picks?

It's Tony Sheahan's burner account and he is absolutely full of [censored]. Don't believe a word he says

Me whenever Dazzle posts Hun article

Only if they pay half his wage and kick in the next 3 Pick 1s

I thought you were in a bit of a roll 😂

The Bombers will either want to get ahead of the bid for Kako, or push 9 into a 2025 f1 pick. Getting 13 doesn't help them

I thought this too initially, but the more I think on it, the more I like it. Yes, it was a throw away line from Lloyd, but that's not really how it's being reported. And if it was figurative, I don't mind if it means they have to correct themselves and be more literal, which would then become 'No, he hasn't cleaned out his locker because he's leaving.' Great, so what proof do you have he is still trying to get out. And I think the answer is none, or at least nothing new. For the record, I'm not one of those who thinks this whole thing is a media beat up. But I do think the last couples days has been them trying to keep this alive. And if this shot from Green makes it harder, good on him

Sounds like a metaphor to me, I.e. he's checked out and doesn't want to come back.

Carlton get it for f1 and f2

So this was the start of that info about essendon trading 9. "Essendon will look at ways to push up the board from their No.9 spot to get ahead of a bid on Next Generation Academy talent Isaac Kako, but will also consider pushing back down the order or shifting picks into next year."

Interesting. I thigght they'd try to get ahead of it, rather than push the pick to next year. If we could make that work, it'd be awesome.

This. The Oliver trade is the only sensational thing happening at the moment. Of course its going to get air time

It was in relation to Daicos getting 38 brownlow votes and not winning. He then went on to say they Congratulate Pat Cripps for winning. It was a good moment from him, but unlikely to change Collingwood fan behaviour.

Max

No I'm not. If you think the melts are limited to DL, that's definitely not the case

You can use 12 ft ladder on age article. Copy pasta the url and it will 'clean it up' for you

Have just listened to Max on Triple M this morning. He didn't say much, except that he'll support Clarry no matter what, but he did say he's sick of the leaking from the club and we need to get on top of it

This is [censored] bananas

The program may be closely scripted, but anytime you have a room full of unhappy supporters it's going to be unpredictable.

Cats will only pay full amount if draft cost is lower, or will only pay higher draft cost if Dees kick in some salary relief (duh). Cats biding their time, our public position on a trade hasn't changed, and we may still keep Oliver. He wants to leave but a trade will be hard. Any trade complicated by Smith trade

Can anyone summarise please? Is it the club urging him to attend?

Given they seem to be urging him to go to the BnF to potentially farewell the fans, you'd have to think it's not a positive outcome

Yep, it's a risk either way. I just think it's a greater risk offloading him and effectively admitting we are done contending for a while, than not.
