I just hope @john delosa is ok

it was great while it lasted Fare thee well Clarry

You don’t have to pretend where Essendon concerned

3 first round picks is overs for mine we've done more than alright for a 30 year end

too close to the players absolutely correct decision by the club to remove him

The only leverage we had was to hold Trac to his contract and it sounds we were not going to do that and it sounds GC knew we were not going to do that

Well then the club should hold Trac to his contract or push for humphrey neither of which they seemed prepared to do

Pick 7 and 8 is a good return I would have preferred Humphrey but looks like we won’t force that issue 6 first round picks in 3 years is a very solid base to work with. It’ll be tough going next year or 2 but we won’t be bottoming out when tassy joins the comp.

Every club knows what Clarry has been up to and what his problems are. It's no big secret And they could see with their own eyes how he was performing on the oval. Do you really think we could have pulled the wool over everyone's through some stage managed exit If it was just a case of a falling out between Clarry and club that we should have managed better, why aren't all 17 clubs lined up to take advantage Our stuff up was not trading him last year

Who on our board would have had the standing to challenge both the CEO and head coach over a decision like this Roffey? i doubt it. Brad Green? Possibly And it's no surprise to me that Clarry gets his marching orders once Goody is out of the picture

Goody was his biggest supporter. Pretty sure if Goody was in favour of a trade last year, clarry would be playing for the cats now

I'm not sure why posters are surprised The talk in the media was a chunk of his salary for a late pick We let the Clarry problem fester for way too long. This is the price we are paying so we can reset under King I'm not Pert's biggest fan but turns out he was right last year. Overruled by goody unfortunately

fills a need

i think it's safe to ignore you where's @Demon Forever

DeGoey and Jamarra at the suns that'll be interesting

and here's old grumpy bum pewpew to spoil everyone's fun

We swap our brat for their brat can't get any fairer than that

are both fans having a big argument

I would settle for that as well but getting Humphrey would be better and i reckon suns want Trac and if push comes to shove will trade BH to us at least i think they will. only one way to find out

I agree. it's the only leverage we have so we have to be prepared to follow through on it. If we are intent on trading Trac irrespective then there is no incentive for Suns to be reasonable at all hence my original comment

what's stopping them from offering a worse deal now

We need to pull the pin on the trade and walk away its the only way to force this move now worst comes to worst we can get back to the table and accept the picks. no downside

Not nothing at all. There have been some great gifs

That goes a long way to explaining the lack lustre performance anyways, no time to dwell on the loss. Gotta get back on the horse and be ready for the Swans. They'll provide another tough test of our flag credentials

You're not doing this right Lord Travis. You need to embrace the delusion and go with the flow
