I know the value of two players would supersede Harley Reid, but would we do it? Pickett and Carlton's Pick #11 & 30, Future 1st* to the Eagles Petracca to the Blues Harley Reid to the Dees ?? Edit: We were going to give a massive trove of picks to the Eagles for Pick 1, All of the picks we'd get for Tracc and Pickett would be about the equivalent of that trove. Edit 2: Eagles would probably want a little more. Maybe the Blues have a WA player to send over? Edit 3: Going out for a bit. I look forward to some Harley Reid trade ideas in response!! Go Dees!

Nickname Minty?

The AFL Trade period should just be a lucky dip at a School fete. 18 jars with a bunch of names

They could make this saga into a tv series like Utopia or Succession, because that's how it feels. You've got the Newspaper/Media room, the MFC room and the Petracca PR room with various characters devising various pr strategies, leaking stories, reacting to headlines/news, getting on the phone and shouting, secret meetings in wine bars, with journo's, posing for instagram stories, all with the intention of shifting narratives etc.

The media get absolutely triggered like a pack of rabid dogs when somebody has a go at them.

How about all these Eagles fans that suddenly became overnight experts on Xerri's year. They really should be happy that they have the 2nd best ruckman of the modern era.

Better than "winning trade period" like Essendon seem to always do, but don't in the long run!

Calm before the storm? All is well? This thread is now moving a little slower. Can actually take a breath!

We certainly had our chance to draft him! It would be a hilarious turn of events if we got in his ear and he requested a trade. Proper revenge for Jackson

Tom Morris going after Kate Roffey must be a wet dream for all these forum Sam Newmans

Those credentials do sound terrifying tbf

Only saw the names on that graphic and that Scared the [censored] out of me, thought it was AA

Is "Theres internal bleeding and you could die" Standard operating procedure to reassure someone they're going to be ok pre-surgery? Or an attempt to traumatize and cast blame on the smaller victorian football club, so that the trust is broken forever? Tracc was discussing what was to told him on the Howie Podcast and that seemed a little odd. This is such a sensitive topic to discuss I suppose, but agenda driven nefarious actors do exist. Sorting out who is who is half the battle.

The kebabs are bigger in Coburg

We're going to retire half their team via two year contracts by the time we're through.

Tom Morris could fit into a large desk drawer

Next to the club rehab centre? We'll have a village, rather than a training base.

Were the victorian options going to help us win a flag over Jackson, Pickett, Rivers and ANB?

And a new home base at Mac Point Hobart?

im homesick for a drama free demonland where everything was right in the world. https://web.archive.org/web/20211008041837/https://demonland.com/

I don't think anything new is being said, just some food for thought from a very good afl writer in Jonathan Horn that probably has no vested interest. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/aug/28/from-the-pocket-melbourne-must-leave-buzz-words-and-fan-favourite-behind-to-rise-again

One of them is a special comments caller now though, after his career turn around and Wimbledon Final defeat. Maybe we'll hear Tracc on 7 next year doing special comments while taking a year off/after forcing a trade 😜

On.Trac5? That sounds like my year 2000 hotmail address dedicated to Shane Woewodin.

Am I the only one thats tired of David Zita and the memes? Acts like he's being held down and forced to do his job by waiting at the tribunal - Dreamjob for many and Paid well I bet. Maybe im just grumpy tonight.
