good start 2 marks 2 goals harris and gall thats the template. get it to our talls. they have the beating of dons defenders

We haven't played anyone in the top 8 other than West coast who are 8th We have had the softest of soft fixtures this year makes up for being shafted every other year

hopefully he's not a chris judd type of dees supporter

we have had Trac and Clarry the last 2 seasons and where did we finish. time for proper reset

Trade week is a lot of fun and entertainment almost more entertainment that the actual footy

it'll be sad to see him go its been sad watching him turn into a middle of the road mid its just sad all round

with all the excitement on the main board i nearly forgot my tips cowboys, lions, chiefs

he has nominated the Suns. The trade still needs to be negotiated between the clubs so not a done deal yet

Losing out to the dons or the saints for a player we want would be hard to swallow particularly as he seemed to be intent on victoria as opposed to a particular club You would think the King connection is a factor and surely we can match or beat the salary

Give him a spray if he does turn up

The last 3 mins of our game against the pies was the worst. something like 6 frees awarded to the pies ALFW umpiring is ridiculously bad

If he was heart and soul why was he talking to Freo and prepared to use them as leverage against us. I get it. players want to maximise their earnings while they can. I would do the same but there has to some cold logic applied to these negotiations as well.

A player that had a history of concussion issues had to retire because of concussion issues thats the fact of the matter sure Maynard is a thug s***bag however gus was only ever one concussion away from retirement so a 6 year contract was not smart at all. and so it proved.

We were too focussed on keeping the band together. Long terms contracts are risky but because we’re not used to success we doled them out to keep everyone happy.

paying a chunk of clarry's salary is a big consequence. hopefully we learn our lesson from it.

The issue with long term contracts is the unknowable. they are a leap of faith and this situation proves it. we have to eat a chunk of his wages now to move him on We gave Gus a long term contract when he had known concussion issues Our list management decisions have been poor.

Papley couldn't get to Carlton after nominating them (if memory serves me correctly)

The mismanagement was giving a whopping contract to Clarry. List management decisions in general have also been poor the last few years But the club needs a reset. and i'm fully behind it. We've basked in the glory of 2021 and failed to deal with disruptive influences and failed evolve and change This reset might not work but it has to happen now before Tassy come into the comp.

Humphreys is more valuable than Trac It'll be Trac plus a pick. Our F1 potentially (i'm not with pick trading so may be off the mark here but definitely won't be a straight swap for Trac)

There go my plans for a productive workday. I'm turning off my work notification now. Trac nominating Suns is massive for us Flanders is a minimum. We must sign him. Hopefully we can nab Humphreys as well. If we manage that we've had a superb trade period. And if we can go to the draft with at least one high pick i'd back JT to pick out a quality player. I'm feeling very positive right now

I'm hoping this thread is quieter today I can't have another low productivity day otherwise i'll be working the weekend to catch-up

If we can turn clarry and Trac into Flanders and Humphrey it would be a great outcome.

With GWS

You forgot Ben brown and hibbo We’re doomed I tell ye. Doomed
