Barry Prendergast?

Are you seriously trying to suggest he is worth just a third rounder? Bloke still has years of footy left and can be a matchwinner on his day. Consistency issues aside, you could easily get a late first rounder for him. No way we give him away for that. I'd rather keep him.

I think I'm getting off lightly!

I have to apologise to all in this thread as I was the clever man who, jokingly, said I wouldn't give up Oliver for 9 first round picks. It's totally snowballed from there. Come home soon, Jake.

Mine was gone by 2012. You've done well, Red.

How's that sense of humour, Steve?

I wouldn't trade him for 9 first round picks.

Reminds me a little of Ben Kennedy. I'd have him if he came super cheap, though.

Cheers, Lampers. The main bit I got out of this is how much Petracca loves the Dees and will play his career here with us. Love it!

That article he posted is from a rubbish site looking for clicks. Not only that but it's already been posted, so 'passing on what he has heard' is him just copy and pasting an article of no substance. I wish people would check this stuff out before posting. It would make life so much easier.

Meh. Can get a bit of the footy but strikes me as a player who doesn't do anything damaging with it. Doesn't hit a target as often as he should and doesn't put in the hard yards defensively.

Dean Kent is a case in point. Many here are saying he isn't up to it, yet for some reason West Coast will want him as part of some farcical Gaff trade. It won't happen. If Kent were to be traded it would be for a third round pick, at best.

I never said it wasn't true, Cards. All I'm saying is that if you put rumours out there as fact, and they don't come through, then you lose your credibility. I'm quite happy to listen to info from those who have been proven to be in the know. Others? Who knows where they get their information from, and until they have been proven right a few times, then I'll remain skeptical.

And rightly so. If you put it out there and it's not true then your credibility is zero.

@stevethemanjordan - have we got him yet or what? I feel like we've been talking about this since 2011.

Steve paid him 50 dollars to start this thread.

If only it were that easy. I could see the Crows digging in their heels a little at the prospect of losing yet another key defensive player, especially after losing Bock and Davis. With other clubs interested they may see if they can get a better deal and try and drive up the price. I'm not sure just our first rounder will get it done.

He took a few clubs for a ride that year, including us. To be fair we didn't exactly make our club an attractive place to play for at the time, so you couldn't blame him for not wanting to come to us.

You'll hold on to any reason in the hope a star player might choose you as a destination club. At least these days we have some reasons based on fact and not just hope.

I think that was all in our heads. He was a Melbourne supporter so, naturally, we thought we were a chance. We didn't even make the final 3 sides in his selection process.

Is there anything left for supporters to complain about this week? Jack Watts cause global warming? Nathan Jones contributing to Donald Trump's bad leadership of America? Anything? I've got three memberships and they'll be rolled over again this year. Hugely disappointed about what happened on the weekend, but chucking in my memberships over it seems childish.

Go on Chook, give us a little more. You know you want to!

There is certainly a little more noise about Lever not just wanting to come back to Vic, but wanting to play for us as well. Not sure if it's smoke and mirrors but there have been a few in the media who have been on this bandwagon.

Hardly. One more year as coverage is not going to hurt us in the slightest. I'd rather him there than have to potentially put faith in an unknown draftee. Having said that, if Frost was still on the list then fair enough. But if Frost were potentially used in the deal then I can see more benefit in keeping Garland on the list.

I've always rated Jon Ralph.
