The Jackson FIX

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.

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.

Apparently Mihocek’s departure was written on the big screen at the event but went largely unnoticed due to the crowds’ inability to read.

I wish people would stop wishing away our first rounder next year… it’ll be the last chance we get to get talent at the very top for a while

Chunk and King should’ve worn wigs

. Can somebody up the limit on these blokes’ bloody corporate card?!

Surely, SURELY, the Suns won’t let Ned go to stk unless; Bailey for Petracca is in fact on OR The StK pick 7 for Ned would be part of a deal that satisfies MFC for Trac Flanders is contracted known to be of interest to Melbourne… GC has stated CP5 is a priority so they’re not going to trade Flanders to another club unless it helps them.

There are 16 other teams we can trade with. People on DL acting like the roof is caving in if we don’t collect Bailey and Flanders specifically. Both players probably are our plan A but I am pretty confident our plan B would be to use the healthy draft picks we suck out of GC to lure someone else (who probably isn’t even being spoken about yet).

Actually if we don’t get Flanders they’ll end up holding Their own; 6 and 13 if Flanders goes to StK; 7 If Flanders goes to Essendon; one of 4, 5 or 8 (from Hawthorn as part of Merrett deal). So I’d upgrade the ask to 6 and 8 (assuming ESS) and then take one of those picks to market for a player.

We give them our junk picks back in current (and future) draft

That isn’t the same as ‘we have no interest in quality draft picks’

Draft picks from the GC for Trac then it is! Go hard for 6+ 13 Dees, with late picks back to help them land their 2x top 10 academy boys.

Draft picks from the GC for Trac then it is!

Hang on, hang on. He had pasta and wine over dinner with the ‘aints and a mid-morning coffee with us! This doesn’t bode well. I hope they made it an Irish coffee at the very least 🇮🇪

Anytime.

Relax. Let it play out. The growing narrative around what we ‘need’ to get in this trade period is more about instant-gratification for nervous fans than it is strategic imperative for our future over the next 10 years. We’ll be ok.

do I actively troll the Crows simpletons on Twitter today or do I let them self-implode? 🍿

Surely only entree-sized tortellini given the state of their salary cap
