I reckon you've hit the nail on the head @Adam The God . Toughness or the expected level of urgency/intensity. Very much a Smillie mach 2.

FWIW Sammy Edmund just said Bailey will keep trying until the end of the window (still highly unlikely).

Thanks @Dannyz . It sounds like we had a massive crack at Humphrey and couldn't get it over the line, but I'm glad we did. I do wonder whether we pushed for any other players (e.g. Walter) at any stage and if not whether we should have (but didn't because we put all of our eggs in the Humphrey basket).

Yeah, poor old @Demon4Life was torched for suggesting that BH was doing a medical, so nice to have another poster that’s heard the same thing.

Grlj, pronounced ‘grill’ as in the bbq…after all the bbq talk today there would be some irony if we missed BH and ended up with the Grlj instead.

They're trolling us at this point.

Kozzie's cousin Latrelle.

What do Essendon get?

4 of those 8 are tied to clubs and is around 9-10 of the 30 that are club tied. I think it’s maybe 3 or 4 non club tied standouts at the top, and then pretty even afterward.

Thanks @Demon Forever . Sounds to me like a major barrier is Bailey being comfortable enough to request the trade publicly. Any read on how likely it is that will change?

Yep, 2nd rd would have been about right for Josh given his junior performances as a small forward. Would have loved us to have a throw at the stumps in the 3rd rd.

Was an underwhelming crop, but remember scratching my head on why McLuggage didn't go pick 1, why Shai Bolton wasn't a first rounder and why we didn't bother bidding on Josh Daicos with pick 46. He didn't project to be a world beater, but we had been linked with some interest, what did we have to lose at that point?

My read is that Eagles want to trade up to pick 7 or 8 to give them 3 picks inside 10. More likely that they want to bundle the mid-range picks they have and MAYBE a future 1st to get there.

There’s just under a week to go. Dream’s not over until deadline is done, we’re just going to have to sit tight.

I'm old enough to remember when people used to read Playboy for the articles.

Sounds painful.

I'm picturing one guy that kinda looks like Warwick Capper with multiple phones and a heap of burner accounts on Bigfooty.

This feels 6 months too early…

Oliver kicking to Hogan in charcoal and orange is going to be weird to watch.

Judd’s here. Wearing a Melbourne scarf.

Thanks team, in many ways you Demonlanders are like family…often it’s the crazy uncle we don’t make eye contact with, but family all the same.
