No, no, from WJ.

Sarcasm, I believe.

Well, I hate to potentially spoil everyone's fun, but when McCartney said he'd signed on for a year, he also said it was unlikely we'd make any big trades this year. Of course, it's entirely possible he wasn't willing to reveal details of anything that might be in the works, and that's the standard straight bat response, but I think it will end up being the case. Balic, Weideman or Curnow, I think.

Serhat Temel, anyone?

That's my opinion. That I'm sick of seeing your incredibly stupid trade propositions littered throughout this forum. Put some thought into it, or shut up.

God no.

That's a bit hard with a UFA

You can't be willing to give him so little, yet expect to get anything in return if we move him on. Just a stupid stupid stance to take.

I'd rather he didn't. It's bad enough having to scroll past your incessant and ill-considered trade propositions that no one asked or cared for.

Went a couple of years ago to the GF episode of TFS because the missus received free tickets through work (and no one else at her work was silly enough to accept the offer). It was one of the most painful nights of my life, as far as one where you're supposed to be on the receiving end of "entertainment." Couldn't wait to get the hell out of there.

Yes, a top-6-rated draftee is likely to be available at pick 6.

?

A bit late, but 2 days ago I was told by someone who has regular contact with McCartney that he told them a week ago that he'd signed on for another year with MFC, and that Worsfold has the Essendon gig. 3rd hand, but I believe it.

I can imagine the Franklin-induced salary cap squeeze seeing Parker on only an above-average salary when he clearly deserves an upper echelon salary. A move would provide some relief & avoid the inevitable.

Can't remember exactly, but our own Jade Rawlings wanted to go to North, Bulldogs had first pick in the PSD, so they sent an early pick or similar (bit I can't recall) to Hawthorn for Lochlan Veale, who was a consummate spud, and in return the Hawks didn't trade him to North, forced him into the PSD where the dogs were waiting.

You'll take anything! I tell you what, if nothing else, you're bloody good for a laugh.

All the best on your leg healing, Jaeger. I wouldn't make a habit of liking your own posts though mate.

Strawberry, chocolate & banana are flavours of these. Looks like a hot tuna he does.

Have to agree. Did anyone see what Ted Richards was like before he went to Sydney? Ugh.

Sounds like you're completely out of touch with what an average AFL player earns today.

Yeah, good point. Fyfe is only worth pick 20 too then, right?

Sounds definitive. Jay Clark at his speculative best.

NFI. Whitfield is worth more than our first rounder, would take him in a heartbeat.

Like Freo did with Mitch Clark.

That's more an indication that I think Schache looks incredibly overrated (think Peter Wright last year, maybe even a poorer version), while Weitering appears to be the second coming of Harry Taylor.
