Not the boneless I hope.

Wherever he ends up, considering his history, is there any option for the club to make a request to the AFL to allow him to train with the club throughout the whole preseason, i.e. prior to the December 3 stipulated date?

Throw OMac into your 22 and you'll see just how fast PF can move. Like [censored] lightning.

It's good news, but I'm really hoping we're not going into the 2020 season without a very good Forward line coach. At this stage we don't have one at all.

Perhaps you could weave some of your magic with Dieters line above....

So essentially, it's a bog standard AFL cockup

Personally I think recruiting inside mids constantly to the point where we have no run - and then recruiting a few runners and declaring them the saviors, is a bit like walking away from your Kurd mates in Syria to let Turkey run through them, only to then turn around and negotiate a pretend cease fire, and claim at as a win. But I think both are super recruits and exactly what we need. Of course.

Amazing considering how busted his shoulders are. Or at least were, while he was at the Gold Coast. Come to think of it, amazing recovery, doesn't even need shoulder strapping anymore.

Agreed, and that would take him to the next level. A genuine star and Brownlow contender.

I think he'll come good as a forward ruck. He can mark the ball, he took 9 marks in a 2017 game against GWS, 4 contested. He was down on confidence this year, and perhaps too heavy. If he trims down he'll be dangerous. There were 2 very simple marks (amongst others) he spilled this year that probably led to the lack of confidence and being dropped from the team. Big preseason and Preussy's set up for a big 2020.

Missed... by that much

That's what I thought, until he flipped the bird straight afterwards.

Jarrod Lyons says a big hello

I wanted him in the draft and haven't seen anything that would change my mind. Yep.

Do these rules apply to brown paper bag payments? For the sake of the argument, let's call them 'Visys'.

I honestly don't know much about him, is he a small forward, a HF, can he roll through the midfield, wing? If he can play a crumbing role, we'd be mad not to have a long hard look.

Ok, apologies, must've missed that one.

Apparently we're drafting 2 kids, both going by the name Basil, with our 2 first rounders.

Interesting

This all begs the question. Which player would we accept? Personally I'd like Finlayson, but not sure they can let him go now Patton's out. Who else? I can't see anyone else I like that would be around the right value.

I thought players could only be traded until 7:30 tonight, after that point only picks can be traded? We surely won't be doing a trade without a very good player?

Starting to look like we're done? For this trade period anyway.

This suggests his issues this year were not mental health related, rather they were personal conflict related?
