I disagree. Trade period riddles are the best. ?

This

So is it true that if $cullys injury is so bad that he never plays again, his entire salary goes outside of the Hawks cap? If so, you cant get much more of a free hit than that!

For me, I didn't want Hogan to leave. I've since convinced myself that his head is not really in it and he is going to leave at some point anyway, so we just need to get what we can and move on.

Didn't Freo have a snap board meeting at some point last week? I guess they at least considered the 8 years

They'd need more than pick 18.... ?

So were Burgoyne's knees.... ?

That means you do care, at least a little.

If we get pick 5 I'd hope we'd look at doing what someone else suggested earlier. 5 + ?? to Adelaide, who want to get ahead of PA in draft order 8 & 14(?) to us Give 8 + ?? to GC for May/KK Take 14 to draft

The thought of $cully back in red & blue makes me spew in my mouth a little bit. BUT, if the going rate is a 40+ pick, and hes not Hawthorn or nothing, then I'd hope we are at least having a look. I think...

.... most common - "well done Belly, what a legend" ?

How?

Yep. That's what happened. FMD

Whatever happens, I just hope this doesn't drag on until last minute Wednesday. Freo can afford to wait once the Neale trade is done. We cant, if we want May and dont have a plan B for getting him without Freos pick. GC may also refuse to trade May if it gets too late in the period as it leaves them no time to use what we give them. They've already said something along those lines.

Very happy about Preuss, but probably in minority when I say I didn't want Tyson to go. He certainly had his limitations, but I think a lot of his good work went unnoticed and unappreciated. Anyway, he's gone now and good luck to him. I wonder who joeboys 'same three words regardless of actual performance' player will be now....

Interesting. Wasn't JH's "open to leaving" declaration with the disclaimer that it had to be Freo? Incidentally, what was his aversion to going to WC? Recall someone saying a while back that he wouldn't go there?

They did, and they also used to be bigger. Everything is getting so goddamn small these days. Remember in the 'old days' where you could actually get your hand inside a Pringles tube? Now only a little kid could do it, and I have to shake the [censored] out! ?

So two different takes on the same story... Final offer from Freo which we have rejected - Trade Radio, TV news First official offer from Freo, which we have rejected, but we are still talking - PerthNOW Which is it? The latter would make more sense, given as some have already noted, that is all they actually have to offer as we speak.

Cats hate the smell of cheese

There was one sentence re this buried amongst a bunch other stuff in the Herald Sun today. Just said something along the lines of "Melbourne have shown some interest in Travis Colyer "

Yeah someone posted a screenshot of it somewhere. Maybe in B&F thread.

Isnt that basically what was said from the start? We are happy to keep him unless something is put in front of us that we absolutely couldnt refuse? Narrative has morphed since into this going down like a regular trade, fears of getting low balled.. etc Mother of all offers thanks Freo, or GTFO

Glad you got it sorted. Careful of that mobile data usage though, if you have limited allowance ?

Hopefully the announcement is re Jolimont, but I'd be surprised if it was. Wouldn't something as big as that be something a bit more in the public domain? Council approval, planning permits, funding, local objectors to the project... etc?
