So my (quite obvious) take is he is ours to lose: Saints offer is out there and I'm assuming the other "serious interest" is us and it's just a matter of waiting for King to take the reins (throne), make the formal offer (probably match) or not. Saints offer is the most generous he could hope for, anyone in his position would be advised to take it. So the fact he hasn't accepted yet means he's waiting on us.

Yeah their 5 thousand supporters will be wrapped

Tim Lamb's trigger is his name needs to be Brody at the end of the second year and he'll get another 4 years @ 900k

He told us he hasn't seen much of Culley without telling us.

We couldn't buy a root in a brothel ffs 😂

In all likelihood we probably hold on to Tracc now.

Yeah that's it though sometimes the market is a bit overinflated and the true cost is felt when you lose some of your soldiers due to the overpay to acquire the new talent. I don't think Flanders is worth 900k a season but losing Tracc for only pics isn't ideal either.

Yeah it's culture killing stuff.

We can't even get a surplus to needs mid/hb whose former coach now is our head coach to nominate us whilst clubs like Brisbane, Geelong’s and now GC and even Stkilda (ffs) are becoming the new darling clubs everyone wants to be at. How quickly we've become irrelevant again so soon after a flag too!

I'D BE PRETTY CONTENT WITH THAT. A KOZZIE COUSIN AND ANOTHER SMALL FORWARD TO DEVELOP ALONGSIDE MENTHRA. FUN TIMES AHEAD

Yeah it's a [censored] show. Northern clubs have endless rolls of the dice and enough currency to always be able to fill their needs. How many key forwards have they had exclusive access to or grabbed immediately before us and we've had to settle for the scraps. Worst thing is when clubs like us rightfully complain about it these northern clubs (and supporters) kick off about it like its their God given right to have exclusive access to multiple top 10 pics every damn year. Watch them balance the ledger by eliminating father/son.

What's Dangerfield got to do with it, not only is he twice the player Tracc is he is also surrounded by a lot more quality.

It wouldn't be outrageous at all.. The value of his contract is outrageous - we're simply buying a good pick. Look at it that way. The way I it if we expect the next club to pay his whole contract we'll get FA back. We put ourself into this position now his trade becomes part salary dump.

Pick 23 isn't going to make them foot a million + deal. We keep 23 and pay some of the Brand's deal.

Mihocek a free agent though how do we include him in a trade to not dilute Spargo compensation?

Because last year he was naming his club of choice and putting the club in a position where they would have had to make a deal that they would have lost massively in. This time with the narrative being he wants to leave and is open to which club suggests his intentions are the same, and he's learned from last time that you can't name your club when you're on a kings ransom. It doesn't work like that. He still wants out but now realises his priced himself out of his own choice.

Agreed. I feel we'll push him towards GC, take Flanders and negotiate a pic out of them for paying some of his wage. GC have plenty of pics, so we can essentially "buy" one off them. Good business all round

.

Want. Second rounder feels right, he should be there assuming we don't do some pic swap buggery, definitely has some Kozzie about him.

Do I have a problem with our new coach being deeply entrenched in finals footy, as a key member of arguably the greatest team of the 21st century - with access to their coaching IP and training standards and game day practices? Lol no. To even for a second think him seeing out his time at Geelong is a negative is sheer madness - you literally couldn't get a better apprenticeship!

I think at this stage he's worth more to someone else, particularly given the fact he's not bought in. Would love to see what Hawthorn offer seeing as Essendon are giving to be [censored] to deal with the whole Merrett situation

Time to make a move: Defeat shows Hawks exactly what they're missing - https://www.afl.com.au/news/14 224 55 Petracca mention

Tracc can cook it and Merrett can deliver it. Because Tracc might miss the target. 🎯

It's OK we've got Petracca cooking Burgers for Curnow and stealing all the games consoles in Cash converters. Priorities.
