rpfc

Don’t think Essendon want more picks. I think they are just playing for time and will keep him. I have more sympathy for Humphrey than ZM tho. They guy wanted out, then extended on higher coin, and wants out again… not how it works, skipper

What a time to wait for! The build up to the First World War The thinking it will be the last Moulding of Tolkien and the roaring 20s - Armstrong, Dali, Picasso Didn’t really see what’s around the corner No better time to do some footy trades!

I think we should especially with 20 OOC after next season.

My inkling is that we are giving our picks in the middle rounds back to GC and we don’t want to pick in the 60s and beyond too much because you have a 2 year commitment. Thats how your list becomes trash - too many flyers on speculative talents adds up if they keep missing. Getting a Steele for that pick makes that easier to manage. Even if it is for a year or two. No need to develop, no need to give a 3rd or a 4th year ‘to see if they are anything’ and you can concentrate on your more bona fide talents.

Do you say ‘jeez it was great when THE MFC won the flag’…

Because of your Hawk supporting mate It doesn’t sound good coz of the word of your Hawk Supporting M8

Ok, here is what rpfc would do; keep him and front end the bulk of his remaining salary next year. Then you can literally ship him off entirely next year. With CP5 going we will have the space. If he happens to pull his finger out - then bonus.

Yes, it is a bit rich. Also, the desire to get a player who is established and quick AND IS A GREAT DECISION MAKER AND BALL USER. They wouldn’t be for trade for a middling pick! Barge! Flimshaw!

So GWS have gone off and taken him for a boozy boat ride and a tour of the facilities. They didn’t speak to us about trade cost They may not have the caps space WTF are they doing

I don’t think Jordan De Goey is polite enough

‘Regardless’… Ugh. Deals off. Why? Tom Morris.

Personally, I think we are in need of some stock standard bonafide AFL players - Jiath is that. As ever, the price matters but I think he is a good talent and has confidence in his ability at this level.

7 and 8 will become 11 and 12 so I hope we go up the order for one bite of a better cherry BUT can we not mortgage a future pick please. We are going to be bad next year.

Yeah because it might get you are Future 1st like it did for NM. Tigers gave them ND3 for it…

I don’t think we will have the picks to want to rookie Woey. Next year is a huge inflection point - 20 players OOC and there are 5 no brainers for an extension - the rest have question marks. We can’t go that young that quickly.

The looming problem is next season. End of year we will have 20 OOC at this stage. 15 on the PL if Woey gets a year. 13 of those 20 have question marks about either injuries, talent, or possible retirement…

Well there is a gap in the backline… Actually there are a few gaps let’s be honest. I think we are unlikely to have the picks to push him out at this stage.

Yes, it’s 4 to 6 spots on the primary list available. White and Sinnema seem to be on the late draft or rookie bubble so that kind of cancels out. Assuming ND7, ND8, ND24 and ND37 after the trades are done and we give back picks to GC. Woey would get a reprieve as our next pick might be in the 60s…

Yeesh. Taking that many in the draft doesn’t bode well.

Sad it has got to this point. I am one of those romantic fools that wants him to come to the 15 year reunion and have a smile on his face. Same with Oliver of course. It was a great ride.

His injury was a freak broken middle toe so fingers crossed his body isn’t too banged up where it matters in the soft tissue. I am excited I have to say. FF Heath Melksham Fritsch HFF Chandler Mihocek Henderson B Tholstrup TALL PLAYER X I can see Laurie getting some time if Tholstrup goes into the middle. McAdam maybe but injuries. I know the above doesn’t look great but players would be in their roles that they can execute. With 4 proven AFL role players in their best positions. For the tall player x my order would be: JVR, Johnson, Kentfield, Yze, Jefferson

Annnnnnnnnnnnnd troll confirmed.

Well I like him

He is not saying that the club goes public, only that Humphrey’s camp to go public with the desire. It would only help to move the needle. If GC are dug in but they get pressure from the outside about a player who wishes to go home it may move the club.
