Then we don't get Pick 4. Boo hoo. Oh, and this talk about removing compensation has been directed around UFA - not RFA. I can see the argument for UFA - they are players with 10 years service, or periphery players (paid outside the top 10 players) after 8 years service. RFA are 8 year players in their prime and in the top 10 (paid) players at a club. It's a different story and is not apart of the discussion when people are talking about removing compensation picks. The fact that we got ND23 (and with that Vince) for Sylvia is a joke of excellent happenstance. I don't blame anyone for not believing me when I was saying he would bring that for 6 months before it happened - it was ridiculous good fortune.

Fold? Do you really think that? Or are you just being dramatic? This is what will happen: Frawley signs with another club, we either take the Pick 4 on offer as compensation for a RFA, or we attempt to trade him to that club. We would most likely take the Pick 4. That's it. That's the extent of it. The club doesn't fold, it loses a good player and we move on. Because good clubs don't let a player become bigger than the club the way you suggest.

And what happens then?

And if we don't?

Hasn't. He ain't dead.

At some point it might be a waste of money. Again, I hope they don't have any designers on contract and they are just going to ask NB for a normal guernsey with, you know, the right colours. Everything else is peripheral and if worried about for too long - a waste of time and money. You can't criticise Schwab for worrying about these piddly little things and then spend your time worrying about what he did to these piddly little things. I guess when your team is shizen, all you have left is the piddly little things...

And yourenextdipper/Thomo - if I recalled correctly you were very prone to personalising debates with people and criticising the site and the people that run it. This place isn't a democracy - it's run by people who have to 'own' the nonsense we put on here. The quicker posters realise that the more patience and understanding they will have when The Evil Mods Take Their Freedom Away And Treat Them Horribly...

I wrote this in another thread. Our drafting is why we are here but acknowledging failure and moving on is the healthiest thing to do.

My power is quite immense. And 'generally respectful' - so about 80% respectful?

Yep, everyone is playing footy and we are playing dress up in the sandpit and crying...

So the 55th live pick at this stage.

...or who will be better in 2 years. Or 5 if they are a ruckman.

Didn't say it was bad, only that it will be lessened by the fact that 57 won't get a player on the list. It may still though.

No. The 2nd DFA commences tomorrow and closes Monday. The 3rd DFA opens again Friday week and closes the following Monday.

Get the colours right for sure but whenever people talk about the collar, the stars, the emblem, the blazers, et al I just picture a playground at a school where everyone is playing footy except for the Dees supporting kid who is in the sandpit playing dress up and having a cry.

Uh-oh, Clisby and Kent got lower numbers... Someone abuse them on twitter. Quick, before your misplaced rage subsides.

Yes, if you have new sponsors... Otherwise, Hertz and the NT will be knitted onto the chest of ND9.

You jealous? Hogan had one last year. Just one of those things I guess. As Oprah once said: He gets a number, Maia gets a number, everyone gets a number.

I hope they are not wasting more money on graphic designers to help 'evolve' the jumper again. Just get the blue right, put red above it, and let's try and win some games. I honestly stopped caring about the collars and stars a few embarrassing losses ago.

It will probably end up being 56 or 55. Maybe lower in terms of 'live' picks.

Three new players in the ND to the Primary List. It includes rookie elevations. We only have to use 9 and 40 as Clisby has been elevated. If we did that it would mean we would get another player in DFA or the PSD.

They want to bring him back in the RD, you shouldn't be so open about it, it let's other clubs no what you are doing. Unless they want a team to trump them...

I must have destroyed an argument of yours or something. Don't feel bad, it happens... What was your previous name?

You do know that the ads are defined by your own browser searches, page downlads, urls, etc. If you see something sly in your chrome, don't look at Land...

Unless it was Rhino you probably deserved it... So take solace in that.
