Yokozuna has posted good info before. Patience required.

It's Frost + plastic steak knives for Langdon Rono. How can you not love that?

So this deal turns out to be Frost and small downgrades to our 2nd and 3rd for Langdon. Shut up and take my money!

The view out that window currently is a nice pattern of out in straight sets alternating with miss the finals. Is ol' Frosty is going to carry them back to the penthouse view?

Maybe 4 + Bonar for 3 is realistic since he appears on the move? GWS need to pay. We could agree not to bid Green at 4 to sweeten it.

Effectively 3 for Taranto because they'll get Green with their existing picks. They'd need to rate someone at 3.

Is Zach Williams steak knives? I'd seriously consider 12 and Williams for 3.

Nope they would have to use pick 4 for the points to match our pick 3 and they'd get a later pick as change. That would be an incredibly risky move. They'd have to give us some incentive not to bid on Green.

To [censored] off Richo

Only if you can do it all lower case.

Is that a guarantee?

Agree. Draft picks are over rated. Posters saying flat out no to Pick 3 for Papley are effectively guaranteeing for example that Caleb Serong will be a far better player. Risky business!

You mean like the Richmond GF wingers Brandon Ellis who they loved so much they let him go to GC and Josh "express snail" Caddy?

So unlike you

But according to you Elliott would have been downgrading. Downgrading from something you have no interest in apparently. You seem to find it impossible to sustain an idea from post to post.

But our according to you our facilities are relatively poor - relative to what? Make up your mind.

Ed Langdon 5th in Freo's BnF. Whoever gets him must be genius traders then. Brad Hill 3rd too.

Elliott may well go to Brisbane but just because he toured there doesn't make it a done deal. He'd be an idiot not to go up there on an all expenses paid trip to assess their offer compared with ours and catch up with his brother. It could also start an auction between MFC and Brisbane which would benefit him.

I don't think you're thought this through. If we were short of meeting the minimum cap we'd front load Tomlinson's contract and therefore free up cap space in future years, he would like this too and it would be good management. We would not as you are suggesting increase every year of his contract so we meet the minimum cap in the first year.

When we turn it around next year I'm tipping both of you will be back with new accounts and new names enjoying our success.

Surprisingly credible 5th in Carlton BnF ahead of some good players https://m.afl.com.au/news/2019-10-04/superstar-blue-joins-club-greats-with-third-bf-in-thrilling-count

Dayle Garlett?

Why would Essendon want pick 3 any more than we do?

Never is a very long time.

That's not correct IMO. We have a very talented list and most of it is under 25. We had a shocking year in 2019 but that was the aberration. A fit list with an extra year and a good preseason, add a bit of Langdon and Tomlinson, one of KK or VDB and we will be right back in the thick of the action.
