Inside word? Guess? Gut feel after the press conference?

I think players and list managers are pretty open during the year. Both parties would want to know what's happening well before now, most deals are in the works well before the end of the season. It's a professional industry, I don't think these things are as emotional for clubs and players as they are for us.

Pretty solid reasoning tbh. Will be interesting to see what they decide.

He's also a 'pre-agent' so Collingwood would be pretty silly to play hard ball if he requests a trade. He'll then walk next year, and if it's to us he won't be getting huge money so their prime time for getting decent compensation is now.

Yeah it'd be a good trade for us for sure, but the situation is tipped in our favour I reckon. It's just a suggestion rather than a rumour anyway.

No doubt Maynard is a better player, but it's not as black and white as that. Unless Clarko goes to Collingwood Maynard will request a trade out IMO. Pies will be happy in a way due to their salary cap. They are also very keen on key forwards and despite Weid having an inconsistent year he's still seen as talented and yet to hit his peak. To suggest Weid's value in the context would require a 2nd and 3rd round picked added to a trade for Maynard is a bit silly.

Gut feel is the club would like to keep Weid given the ages of TMac and Brown, but given the last couple of weeks (non-selection) I think maybe he's told them he'd like to go elsewhere for more consistent opportunity.

Sorry mate, that's absurd.

Weid straight swap for Maynard?

Lever was actually with us in 2018, but out injured.

He's still around as far as I know. He pops up on the Dees social etc every now and then. Usually you'd keep tabs on him by spotting him in the broadcast or replay, but alas no crowds, so no mohawk.

Oh boy... That looks an... interesting... establishment... Probably got their eyebrows pierced as a two for one.

Will be interesting seeing the difference between the amount of tattoo shops booked out after the Tigers flag compared to ours given the reputation of our supporters.... (With apologies to the legend who is Ang)

That was my main take away from the video too tbh. Mostly middle aged angry men yelling abuse at a bunch of 20-something young blokes. Pretty pathetic.

He's clearly already been found out by the umps, tried it a couple of times in the Cats game and got donuts. TBH don't mind it that much though, need a bit of 'craftiness' to win a flag.

This part seems especially important. We haven't really talked about it much given we've been mostly at Casey for 2 years, but there used to be a lot of talk about the hard surface at Gosch's and it's impact on our soft tissue and foot injuries.

Personally I reckon the period of 2007-2016 reeks too, but I don't associate that with our navy jumper.

Replied and then decided to delete it because I couldn't be "effed" dealing with it tbh. Bizarre thread mate. I was happy for the Dogs, I was happy for Richmond (the first time), I think it's great that other fans want us to do well.

Yeah, that's the catch hey? Especially if he's going up into contests where Cameron is staying down to crumb. I guess the advantage with Smith over Hibberd is if Cameron gets off the chain we can move May to him and put Smith on a tall.

As a pure defender, I'd rather Smith on Charlie Cameron than Hibberd.

Delete. CBF.

I love the royal blue, just quietly...

All just guess work before it happens hey. He could be a real wild card for us if he keeps it up. Looks visibly quicker off the mark and while he hasn't kicked it a lot since coming back in he seems better in that area (small sample size tho obvs). Gut feel is he may get first crack at Charlie Cameron this week.

To be fair, both of our notable doctors, @Dr.D and @Dr evil, are both probably busy dealing with the pandemic. I mean, I'm sure that's why they don't show up anymore after both being found out...

Their playing careers crossed over a fair few years too, wonder if they ever had any run ins back in the day?
