BDA

According to Tim lamb it came about because the Weid requested a trade and the club decided to grant his wish. Fair enough I reckon. The Weid deserved a fresh start. it’s just a low cost, like for like depth acquisition.

We have Grundy now. All good

Very good business overall Hopefully the bed wetters can calm down now

No mention in the media regarding us chasing a KPF. Strange

Need to treat the suns with respect. They have their moments. be professional and get the win first and foremost.

I have low expectations but you never know. Depth acquisition. Cost peanuts so no need for posters to get worked up best of luck Josh

This is exciting

I'll have to put aside my dislike for the bloke. Best way to get on my good side would be a duck to win a free kick, and slot the goal after the siren to win it the game for us in week 1. that'll do it

I wasn't going to pay too much attention to today but i'm genuinely intrigued now. There hasn't been a murmur in the press about us chasing a KPF so looking forward to see what unfolds

What about the WA players that don’t want to stay in the West? Homesickness doesn’t impact everyone and I’m sure there are players that want to broaden their horizons and see more of Australia. If I was a young draftee I wouldn’t want to stay in Melbourne (unless it was with the Dees). Swans would be my choice, away from the fishbowl to a good club and city. Lions would be next. Perth and Adelaide I’d rather avoid. Not sure how I’d feel if I landed at the Suns.

I really wanted the Weid to make it but not to be unfortunately. Keeping him in the ressies as ruck back-up when he has the opportunity for a fresh start is the wrong thing to do. Let him go. We can find a back-up ruck elsewhere

She's such a sweetheart. Pity she can't be part of it this year but what a player to get back for 2023

For some reason thinking of Gawn and Grundy reminded me of this deadly duo. Random I know

In: Grundy + 13 + Freo F1 + Freo F2 Out: Jackson + 27 +44 + 67 Time will tell ultimately but on balance i think we've done fine Just need to sort the back-up ruck spot and we're done

Fills an obvious need if the Weid departs. DL whipping boy!

It is possible to decide mid-season to leave but still perform as best you can until you leave. I think the injury he had was a much bigger factor in his average form than lack of commitment.

A lot of posturing goes on as part of trade negotiations. I'm surprised so many posters get sucked in by it. This deal will get done today for pick 27 and maybe some later pick swaps. Pies can take it or leave it. I'm sure they'll take it cos they have no choice

Next years problem

Posters for some reason posters can't tell when you're joking QD. I suggest you use the 😉 emoji

That is the lamest montage you will ever see. Laughably bad.

LJ was a great selection by JT. Nailed it. He helped us break a drought and netted us 2 more first round picks. He decided to go home. Can't be helped but in no way should that fact stop us drafting from the west

Dallas D sensational again. Offense keeping it simple. After watching Dak go down week 1 I was pessimistic about the cowboys chances for the season but the last 4 weeks could not have gone better. Huge game v the Eagles next weekend.

Personally I bear no ill will towards the kid. I hope the move works out for him but he’s gone from an understudy at the dees where he could ply his trade away from the spotlight to the fishbowl of Perth where the expectations will be high. No guarantee he’ll succeed We’re smack in our window with our core signed up. I’m only interested in how we use our picks to improve the team. We’ll have new players to occupy ourselves with. LJ will fade in the memory soon enough.

We got the best deal we could in the circumstances. Best to move on with our other business. We have a reputation for being fair to deal with. It's the right policy. Except when it comes to Freo. The next time we deal with them, and we have the leverage, we should screw them to the boards.

Not sure why you're getting in such a lather. The discussion in the AFLW threads is far more respectful than on the mens board. and we have @WalkingCivilWar to keep us in line. You come across as a bore. Stick to the mens board. You'll have plenty to complain about over there.
