Timothy Reddan-A'Blew

On the other hand, @La Dee-vina Comedia, this!

Thanks, LDvC. It was Twomey that put it to Lamb in today's interview that he had the opportunity to be first, and the Heath deal arrived so soon after. Darn those Eagles and Saints scalliwags!

I vander vhy?

Hullo, Max Heath. Goodbye, this thread.

Noice! And evidently more comfortable up forward than other previous ruck experiments 😉 (Doing a number on the Bombers, @Ghostwriter - will he be your new fave?)

...and I believe that is history-making: the first trade in the new '2-years-out' trade system. A record forever Tim Lamb's.

Aleer (24yo) career game averages: 9.7 disposals, 3.7 marks, 1.8 tackles May career: 16.1, 5.4, 1.4 May at 24yo (6 seasons): 12.9, 4.5, 1.7

Wants out, or club no longer wants?

Time to repeat this? Lamb on Trade Radio 2 days ago: We have "told Christian that the likely outcome is he comes back to us".

How did I do?

It'll be interesting to hear Max's views on all this at some stage, he (apparently) having taking Clayton 'under his(*) wing' during the latter's difficult times. Surprise? Disappointment? Anger? Bemusement? You've got it all wrong, folks? (* For 'his', read 'his and his partner's and his family's')

Oooh! Getting close! I will be tempted to give him MBMH status, now vacated by former MBJMcV) if we get him, and various trackside-interviewed players nominate him during pre-season as the dark-horse, leaps-and-bounds improver.

That'd certainly rouse me! And hopefully him! As a ruse, however? Quite a risk! (D*** predictive text, eh, Cossie?)

You nearly got me with your OMac edit but... Yeah, nah.

Defs. Jackson: defector. Wagner: not a Bedford. McVee: defector. vs Hogan: personal journey. Bedford: Club encouragement. Oliver: Club 'encouragement'. Plus: Is Fremantle.

Yeah, he was MBCO from the week before the draft, eventually succeeded by MBJMcV. That's ending well...

So it's a 'twist' is it, Tom? Yep, that (at least) McKirdy and Ralph got it a coupla hours earlier. Twist, Tom, twist

p.p.s. Not sure, though, how a ranga goes in an orange jumper? He'll constantly look like one of those soccer jersey-over-the-head goal celebrators.

p.s. ...and I could almost have GWS as my second team with Jessie, Toby and Clayton in it...

From Fox Footy this arvo: 4:25PM — CLARRY TO CONFIRM GIANT MOVE Melbourne midfielder Clayton Oliver has reportedly settled on GWS as his preferred destination, according to News Corp’s Lachlan McKirdy and confirmed by Jon Ralph on Fox Footy’s Trading Day. The 28-year-old is expected to join the Giants after more or less being told by the Demons to explore his departure options. It means Collingwood has been ousted in the race for the inside midfielder, just hours after Craig McRae cheekily said he’d been “hard to get a hold of” recently while in Sydney visiting with the Giants. McKirdy reports that “a key part of their (the Giants’) pitch” to Oliver is “the allure of removing himself from the Melbourne bubble”. Ralph noted on Trading Day that the Giants — who hold picks 13, 34, 36 this year at present — would only surrender a late selection in a deal. (...No mention of paying part of salary, and only a nominal pick in return suggests contribution, if any, would be small?)

Nah. Room for a few more?...

Was it the Club or Troy that knocked it back? I get the impression it was Troy who wanted to stay, not the Club exercising his 2026 contract.

'Don't mess with me' (Looks orright in red n blue, too)

Lamb on Trade Radio: We have "told Christian that the likely outcome is he comes back to us".

Lamb on Trade Radio: "Haven't spoken to Saints yet" but we've had an "indication from Max and his management that he'd like to join us".
