Fire Sale!

Legality and reality are 2 different things. I'd also say you're quite content being a sheep if you're so caught up in the legality. Alcohol is legal and ruins many lives. Organised criminals are littered throughout big business and politics, although you may fail to recognise them. I now am getting a better understanding of why you post the way you do on football topics... Baaa.

Look out. The moral police have some conspiracy theories.

Yeah mate, you obviously walk around with blinkers on. It's everywhere.

I took it to mean that the GoldCoast may have agreed terms with Howe, but now they must agree terms with us if they want to make it happen.

I struggle to fathom how you could work in an emergency dept and not already know this...

I was thinking Simon Goodwin. If there's someone at the club who can related to Harley in regards to fighting his demons, overcoming some adversity and working towards redemption, I imagine Goodwin would be the man.

Even Darling had an abysmal top age year, missing out on AA in favour of... Lucas Cook.

Depends on how much you value his speed, run & carry, ability to spread... He's not the toughest player going around, but he'd give us exactly what we lack & sorely need.

Would love for us to be all over him. Treated harshly at Geelong.

Howe likes to swan about and take hangers. McKenzie likes to swan about getting cheap possessions & kicking it long. Not really a win there.

I know.

Posturing now. We have to trade with you so that Howe can go up there, but what do we want from you? Prestia is off limits. You won't entertain offers for O'Meara. We've already determined that we don't want Bennell because of his issues. Bennell and a 2nd rounder you say GC? Keep talking...

Tom Lynch..?

You're right, I definitely think we shouldn't speculate if it has anything to do with a drugs cover up or anything similar. That would be in bad taste.

He's from Wagga. All rookies can be given a 3rd year I believe, but it's a bit more complicated than that. I think we have to apply and make him available to other teams in the draft. Can't remember exactly.

May not have a choice. I still think we're ahead of Essendon too.

Changing. Not fixed. Dynamic. Yet to be determined.

Get involved when you feel up to it, it'll be good for you.

This would please me greatly.

I'm not silly enough to think that Bennell would impart his bad habits onto other players. He's a follower, not a leader. It's obviously a risk. A calculated risk. And what I'd be willing to risk depends on what we'd have to pay. I'd do a straight swap for Howe, gladly.

I'm disturbed and concerned.

Yeah... nah.

Howe for Bennell? Please?

Yeah, he hasn't been at GoldCoast, but I also believe he has been a product of his environment. I mean Karmichael Hunt of all people was lauded as his mentor, the bloke who took him under his wing and into his home... and look at what he was getting up to. That's the example that was being set for him. Monkey see, monkey do. I think if you brought him into a better environment, and I believe our club is that now, then it would be different.
