Or Langdon and him on the wing, and Windsor more through the middle of the ground?

You hate to see him land at the Pies but overall I’m glad we didn’t trade for him Don’t get me wrong he’s an elite player but I’d rather take picks 5 and 9 to the draft to add elite talent to our young core And with uncertainty around Trac and Clarry and aging stars like Gawn and May, we need all the young talent we can get to avoid bottoming out when Tassie comes in Gee he would have been handy a year or two back though - could have been the difference in 22 or 23

Langford/Lalor into Lindsay/Travaglia is the dream for me Tauru looks a gem but I think another tall is down the list in terms of need for us As always I’ll back JT in - trust him more than anyone else at the club

I’d be getting the microwave out if I was a West Coast fan I understand the strategy, but they could have bought in Sheezel, Reid and one of Smith/FOS/Lalor over the past three years and be set with an elite midfield for a decade…

Hopefully Tomlinson finds a new home and we can keep whatever pick we net for him handy for a slider

Woof - glad we’re getting pick 9 but gee we’re paying a premium for it Not sure where we’re going to get the picks from to get Harry Sharp out of Brisbane? They need picks in this years draft and I’m not sure what we have left over after this? Edit: I see we’ll have 49 left which I’m guessing would be part of an in principle agreement for him

We’re so back

I reckon a third rounder gets it done - the Lions sound like they’re being reasonable and won’t stand in his way (take note GWS)

Joe Berry looks a treat - would be a good get with a late first round or our second round pick

I saw that too, but it was also reported in The Age that we’re big into Kako with our pick I don’t think we’d actually want to take him with 5 but hopefully Essendon do 👀

Thanks @JJJ - do you have any sense of whether the club still thinks this is a list on the verge of a premiership? I’d be very curious to know how the FD views our list internally after the past couple of months

Thanks @dazzledavey36 I spoke too soon

I wonder where Bont, Cripps and Green places in their draft years? The closest comparison to Langford, particular Bont

And I don’t think trading a future first for pick 18 (early 20s after bids) is good business at all unless a player we really rate slips to that pick on the night

I’ve been critical of his list management over past few years but I’ve always been impressed with his straight bat when appearing in front of the media and this was no exception He certainly hasn’t been done any favours by others at the club…

He hasn’t sounded too impressed with Pert in some recent comments But who knows, maybe he’d be up for the challenge?

If Derksen isn’t available it sounds like we’ve got SFA to look forward to for the rest of the trade period Here’s to the pick swaps 🙌

* cries in Italian *

It seems like Collingwood will be getting pick 13 as part of the Noble trade unfortunately which is going to make it really difficult for us to trade into the first round, with Richmond favoured to land Brisbane’s pick 20

You reckon he won’t respond to meows and hisses?

Sure, you got his number?

m8 people are allowed to have opinions about anyone at the club based on publicly available info, most of all the CEO whose primary role it is to provide stability and inspire confidence in the direction of the club Regardless of what he has or hasn’t done, if he’s not meeting this criteria he’s failing at one of the core parts of his role

It certainly exonerates the club somewhat if it was his management that first broached the subject this year I still don’t think Pert handled this with any care at all mind you

I love Kane Cornes now
