John Demonic

It's more of a 'girlfriend doesnt want to commit to marriage, therefore i'll let her see some other guys for a few weeks and then decide on marriage with me or breaking up ' type of arrangement ?

I know nothing about Dom Sheed, save that people said Gaffs suspension opened the door for him. So he doesn't sound like he has much value.

Yes. It's possible to be on the bottom of the ladder, and handle a situation well. It's also possible to be 2nd on the ladder and handle a players last year poorly, Look at Adelaide with Lever. You think it will be unprofessional like that? Players rumoured to have been ignoring him, half time grand final arguments and the club not inviting him to b& f.

I stick em in the freezer and then proceed to walk back and forth to the kitchen every 30 minutes for one!

If Carlton players can accept and deal with Gibbs being out the door in a year, i'm sure demon players can too. Assuming Hogan goes all in with that final year and pumps his value, it's a win win.

The key to it making sense is understanding that you left 'what might be' out of your sentence. It's all speculative right now isn't it?

Unfortunately the good faith philosophy doesn't work with teams with victim complexes and hatred of victorian clubs. But conversely it also might mean that we may strike a good deal with Gold Coast with a later pick like 8 or 11 for Steven may as they seem to have been accomodating in the past.

Would Freo do the Neale trade if we refused to let Hogan go for those picks? They'd be forced into a long-term rebuild with only picks 8,11,13,20 etc and Lobb!

What if... Lachie Neale is now available? Brisbane are either bluffing, or they've given away on getting him because of Freo's stubborness. Is Lachie Neale and pick 11 out of the question? I do rate Neale. And if we managed to use 11 + player + picks to get Steven May, then we'd be laughing. Just a thought. A far fetched one at that. I do however think Brisbane are bluffing and using this to get Freo to do the pick 5 deal though.

They won 1 from their last 17 matches and then just lost their Full forward and full back, how can they possibly finish higher than the bottom 4? Pick 3 next year is just about locked in. Edit: They also have the same percentage as 1995 Fitzroy.

When i saw the Port/Freo pick swap, i had a feeling that Freo will try and push us for a few days to take the 20's pick. We still have some time to go I think.

Hypothetically, if we'd lost Frawley for pick 11 and Sam Frost, while the other club kept pick 5 - i would have been livid. No way would Gold Coast accept that. Has to be another 2nd or collection of picks followed by our finest poker face to get it over the line.

Keilty and Drunkn167 is overs

Port were willing to give overs to get pick 6 mate! Losing 11, Frost and our 2nd round pick or so is going to be far more pallatable than watching an elite pick 5 talent in other colors.

Tuned in to the trade radio to see what they were saying the picks just to kill some boredom, and they're debating gary rohan being top 8 in geelong or not. FMD

How about Sam Frost and a pick in the 30's with 11? I'm not sure i'd take that as a GC fan. They'd probably only take 5 as they can't be bothered asking for more to bring it to that pick 3 comparable trade that they'd get next year. Pick 11 couldn't possibly be on their agenda without A LOT of sweetness.

They're after back to back trade week premierships

That describes his playing style.

The clash

What? He'll kick 55 goals, miss 5 games through injury and be in the top 5 for assists league wide, business as usual.

Given Frost wouldn't even be first depth with Omac + Lever working just fine this year. Surely Frost could be asked if he wanted to go, given a lack of opportunities with us.

Yeah. We're all popping in at various times due to being in different parts of the world. Stuff will be rehashed between different people.

This all hinges on whether we have permission to use next years first round pick. I'd have thought. Do we? Those media [censored] are so consumed with Hogan/May pick swapping, that they've never talked about this question.
