  1. Taking my comment far too literally there mate, it was meant in tongue in cheek - obviously Bell and Dodoro are scrubs. Ultimately I’m just hoping for a positive net outcome should the trade eventuate
  2. I know, i just remember how difficult it all was dealing with Bell in both the Jackson and Hogan trades. I was saying it’d be nice to see us set an asking price and stick to it, not cave in to suit anyone but ourselves.
  3. Hopefully if this does happen we stop playing the nice guy in trade negotiations, I would love to see us show a bit of back bone. Bring out our inner Peter Bell / Adrian Dodoro..

    Sorry for the possible ignorance but was Caulfield ever considered a certainty to get done? I seem to remember there being a bit of pushback from the local community and council about the whole situation and tbf I don’t remember what the outcome from that was. Whether he’s been briefed or not I doubt the first introduction Guerra wants to give us is a proclamation that we will be in Caulfield by X date, only for it to fall over later down the line. Until something a little more concrete comes out I don’t blame him for dancing around the questions. Let the bloke get his hands dirty before we criticise his ability to do the job.

    Leek Aleer worth a shout? Out of contract at the end of the year
  6. I think if the price is right, definitely worth a punt. Blokes like Langdon and Hunter etc need to have more pressure on them to perform, and if that’s solely what Billings provides then its a positive.
  7. 46 and F2 for Grundy 🤔
  8. Gutless. Umpiring was pathetic but still no excuse for a team that looked flat out scared on the big stage. Credit to Carlton for taking advantage of their opportunities
  9. Tom Hickey is retiring - https://www.afl.com.au/news/1015954 if I was a betting man I’d say Grundy is on his way to Sydney (no mail, just an assumption)

    Reckon he’s definitely worth enquiring about. As other posters have said blokes like Petracca, Harmes, Neal-Bullen, Hibberd and Hunter etc won’t be around forever and it’s important to keep chasing the next generation of young talented players when they’re available. I’d say it’s also dependent on what our plans are for the draft, whether we’re all in on Reid or if we take those four early picks and find other avenues to top up other areas of need. I’d also be on board to poach him for the sake of rustling Fremantles’ jimmies
  11. You’d look at Stack based off talent - but his off field stuff/attitude(?) would probably threaten any chance of his career getting revived by another team
  12. Same as Trade Radio regurgitating the same rubbish day after day
  13. Having played with Schache as a teenager, I thought this bloke was going to be phenomenal when he made the AFL, obviously that hasn’t panned out the way anyone would’ve liked it to. But I still see his talent and potential for growth as a professional, so I don’t think it’s worth poo pooing the idea of bringing him in. After all, it’s a depth acquisition for a future third or fourth most likely so If he comes in and performs better than a Mitch Brown type - that’s a win to me. Heck even if he comes in purely to keep all of TMac, BBB & JVR on their toes, good. It’s a low risk move with a chance of giving him some success after being a highly touted prospect
  14. I had a look at their players and feels like they’ve signed most of their core. Ever heard of this bloke? Me neither I don’t care who you are that’s one of the more impressive highlight reals I’ve seen in a while 21 year old and 199cm key forward..
