Replaced one Jack with another Jack to pair with Jack in the midfield.

Assume we wouldnt add an extra year given his age?

My girlfriend asked what I was going to do with my '21 Petracca Grand Final fridge magnet, that's the big question of Trade week now.

When I see a death riding thread

Time to put on Andrea Bocelli's song "Con te partirò"

see if Saints want to pay any, gives them more room to maneuver if theyre looking to bring in De goey

Sort of polar opposites in terms of strengths.

I must say 'potential incoming player' threads much more enjoyable than player 'potential outgoing player' threads

was that pre or post JUH

You'd hope so, cos they have at present - 7, 8, 15, 18, 29, 36, 37, 52, 74, 92, 110 This would leave them with 15, 18, 24, 28, 29 - this year.

I'm actually dreading Thursday though, as my work to-do pile has grown the last week or so.

Also some stricter 'matching' requirements coming in for 2026.

One way or another, today is hump day

I know it was probably unlikely with Clarry and Trac on the outer (?) , but hopefully we don't see Caleb at half-back again. So i am all for re-enforcing this position

I got 'bad decision maker' in my chat.

Assume we are giving him an extra year, but hope we don't over pay in trade/$ sense

I am sure they will try this until the last minute, if it works then great - if not we'll get picks.

Well so far they've traded out Ainsworth, Flanders, Rosas, Swallow retired, Sexton delisted. JUH will come in on the cheap. I'm sure they could juggle some things around, especially bringing in young academy players on lower $ for now.

Saints perhaps makes some sense given theyve pulled out of the Leek deal - saving $ for something?

Still a little odd seeing a Best 23 without CP5 and Clarry.

Quick with iffy disposal - have missed this since Hunt left. We do need some line breaking pace back there though

Interesting to compare the Merrett/Curnow offers to the Trac one if we go down the Pick route. Should we be asking for more (once line fully drawn through BH)?

Assume this time next year Collingwood have managed to trade out De Goey and made plans to replace them him with BH.

Interesting King replacement.

Assume he's not pushing super hard this year because he's been told this year not that realistic and doesnt want to rock the boat too much given he'll be reporting for pre-season soon. Rock the boat fella.
