The Jackson FIX

Yeah. But 7 for Flanders massive overs too.

We’ll be paying most of his salary in this scenario. Even then, I don’t reckon they’d be as generous as the above

I truly believe they don’t care either way. Several years ago when GC were deadbeats, sure, but today I reckon AFL House would just be standing out of the way and letting the Suns continue what they seem to have done pretty well last couple of years.

You got me Greg, I’ll brush up on my facts before I get in another duel with you.

I feel no need to get into a debate with you.

I think he meant GC would ask for 3 first round picks for Humphrey. Dees would take 3 first rounders for a 30yo Trac in a heartbeat.

I’m not certain you know what a ‘fact’ is.

Was referred to by both David King and Sam Edmund the other day as one of the best list managers there is.

An admission that it wasn’t actually a footy act? Throw in an admission that we were in fact better than them in ‘23 and he’s sold

Would be interesting to see what happens if the club Clarry selects offers MFC a dud deal, whilst the other club was happy to stump up more.. not the done thing to tell him to look for a new club and then play hardball on which club it is. I get that he is contracted and all that but it’d be a bad look on our end.

Not gonna lie - happily these two for Trac and Clarry

I’ve warmed to King, but can’t help but think Bucks would’ve been a more attractive option for players during trade period. Maybe King will be that one day, but hard to get excited about a first year coach at a club with question marks if you’re from outside (having said that I reckon Trac stays if Bucks was here and Humphrey never in play).

Difficult sell to come to a club seemingly in limbo… wonder whether they have got Max and Kossie on the phone to him.

Absolutely. Puff your chest out and hope for the best. If Trac gets done, it’s because we are happy for him to be out, not because we have no choice. You don’t go to market saying we want him out though.

I heard he was VERY close but unimpressed with the gym

Not total fantasy, but low-chance + heartbreaking-hope

Similar in many ways though

Not quite Gruzewski levels but he’d be worth a bit on a scrabble board.

Predicting the BH story will fizzle out fairly quickly from here. Reckon Dimma will be speaking to him fairly quickly and firmly. His manager just playing everyone in the process like a fiddle for some more coin.

If our offer is in that vicinity that will be an unprecedented % of salary cap spent on two small-ish forwards/sometimes midfielders

Or maybe he is neither really homesick or desperately wants to leave (but ‘open’ to a departure) but the Suns just prefer something about Trac in their mix for the next 3 years and sacrificing BH is the only way to unlock that? Even if this is true, I’d expect Suns still try and explore other trade scenarios for Trac so they can keep BH

I don’t keep receipts but I’d love to know if the ‘imploding’ crew are the same people as the ‘hate Buckley’ crew that celebrated King’s appointment. I’ll put my hand up / I was a Buckley guy that is now happy with the King appointment (and happy with the clean out) but there is no way there’d be as much of a player exodus if Buckley was in charge.

Does the free agency window close during a draft period? It is open now but if we can’t manage a trade with the Pies can Mihocek just leave as a free agent in the last couple of mins of the trade period?

Also largely missed by the crowd as they struggled to hear anything over the constant slurping of their dentally-approved 6 course soup degustation

For anyone that is an Always Sunny in Philadelphia fan, I always imagine the Collingwood B&F resembles a McDoyle family gathering.
