Pies, no teeth allowed?

Would it be rude to request how we'd like him developed for 2 years before bringing him home?

I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it

Not to be a downer, but imagine doing it on fans day, in front of 40k fans, after watching a replay of the gf.

We might even look at Phil Inn as a delisted free agent

206cm and dropping bombs from downtown

There's more Young about that bloke than there is the Cats list.

I think the covid road trips have been a massive part of our success. With the draft strategy of getting 2,3,4 high quality kids in quick succession so they can gel together, it's accelerated that connection. So you have those guys as well as Salem, then you have the 3 WA boys in their group. Then you have Max and Chunk beating the lads in computer games, it just means the whole squad is unified. It's awesome.

Anyone else having panic attacks as a tall forward kicks goals, called Lucas Cooke

The sooner we 186 them the better

Strikes me as one that's got by on pure talent. I reckon he has a few more levels in him if he puts in.

Fuchsia?

For me then you really have to look at what you can get for Baker. If you can get a trade for him and pick up a decent replacement for free you've improved your list. What is Baker worth?

Adam Cerra's welcome pack?

How does one put selflessness in a brown paper bag?

Would he still do that now they've picked up Steven King as a coach?

Where is the good doctor? Has he been sighted?

Can we ask the AFL for a priority pick considering we've only won 1 flag in the last 57 years?

There's zero reason for him not to nominate Carlton now. I think he wants to come to us but realised it's a longshot with the trade value, so is playing it cool and letting it unfold. We'd need to pull off a Josh Mahoney special to make it happen, so hope the recruiting team had their notepads out when he was around.

He's a very accurate kick for goal, can't see him missing 3.

20 goals 3 behinds?

Exactly, and that's why it's nonsensical, let alone poor journalism, for Ralph to suggest we can't get a trade done.

Just go pre-emptive on em Uncle. Drop a 'Go Dees' on em as you walk away.

For sure. There'll be plenty to throw around though, and with another year in our system and natural improvement, he's the one you want to be on.

This doesn't phase me too much given our recent recruiting strategy. If we like a player in the draft but don't get him, we follow up. As soon as he's first available for trade we swoop. Give Big Mac 2 years elsewhere if they want to trump us, then trade for him. Unlikely to have played AFL footy by then, but with 2 years development under the bonnet.
