Well it seems the wind has gone out of our sails.

Patty's answers have definitely been a little flakey when asked.

Calm down everyone. Let's just wait and sea what happens.

Hopefully Danger takes the bait.

Or we've hit a reef.

Hopefully Dylan Shell isn't far off our radar either.

Obviously "banter" was meant to be "batter."

Not sure if fish pun or legitimate quote...

He's definitely our great white hope.

Saints will be crapping their pants having to choose between Petracca and McCartin, or potentially trading pick 1 and getting neither.

He's shown very, very little in 2 years. And nominating Hawthorn shows just how soft he is. He may have been pick 2 but let's not forget our favourite recruit Tom Scully went number 1 and has been even more of a dud.

These waters have become very muddied... has put me in a crabby mood.

Don't you mean Doc Whaledon?

Agreed. Not sure what they're playing at here. You can't keep someone on your list who doesn't want to play. They just won't turn up to training or matches, depending on whatever their contract stipulates. Then you'll lose him next year for nothing. Unless he's a free agent and they are just waiting for compensation (pick 2 the way their pathetic team is going and probably plummets into oblivion next year).

I'm telling you buoys, we cod not do much batter than Danger.

I'm glad I read that sitting down.

So will Blease or our 4th rounder get this done tomorrow? Or are Carlton expecting pick ~40ish?

Probably wanted to wait to see the coach they appointed. He seems very team oriented, isn't going to let the players call the shots. Seems a bit of a Mark Neeld approach... it'll only work if the playing group embrace it.

Ridiculous from O'Rourke. What an insipid, lazy, characterless decision he's made to "nominate" the premiers as his team of choice. Couldn't get rid of him fast enough if I were the Giants. What a [censored].

Agreed, absolute flogs. Want our second rounder for Lamumba so they can get Greenwood with it. No need to waste our second rounder so stupidly after the good luck we had to keep it after FS bidding. Geelong's second rounder has very little currency.

Yep, don't think anyone honestly believes that little interview GWS (AKA someone with media connections at the AFL) cooked up between Treloar and his childhood hero The Rock was anything more than an embarrassing attempt at convincing him to stay in Sydney.

The silence is deafening from us in securing an elite midfielder. Got no doubt we've got something cooked up with GWS. They have all the talent just waiting to be pillaged by other clubs.

I love that Roos brings in players to carry out a specific role in his game plan, rather than the idiotic scattergun approach Norf Melbourne take by bringing in whoever's available only to lose one of their best midfielders as collateral.

Same thing occurred to me. And that doesn't factor in what we get for Clark, which it seems we're playing hardball for.

Hopefully we can do: Lamumba with Geelong's second rounder Frost and GWS third rounder for our second rounder Garlett for Blease Merrett for GWS third rounder
