Can't see how that would work. You would need to build seating/standing room and play games during the Spring Carnival.

I suspect Essendon are after Duursma

Hogan was traded in 2018 wasn't he?

My point is the public line we gave to the media was a convenient narrative that allowed everyone involved to save a bit of face. A week later we said that we brought Jack Steele in to play Oliver's role. So not sure how anyone squares that circle.

Do people actually believe that we moved Oliver on because he didn't want to learn a new role?

Wouldn't be the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to the Suns.

Playing Oliver was definitely a Goodwin decision.

Relax. Clearly bumped into each other at the races.

Is that the one with JUH and Harmes? Not sure who the others are.

What is said publicly is not necessarily what is said privately.

Decent mix of insight and spin. Don't know that I fully believe Guerra when he says that the off-field issues weren't the reason we traded Oliver. The club is making a decent point of driving the narrative here. Guerra seems media savvy enough to drive that messaging.

Yeah they were definitely able to keep it all pretty quiet when they were really pushing him out.

That would be the only reason to actually do it.

Would call it a B. Cashed in on Petracca, picked up a couple of cheap AFL ready players and made the best of a bad situation with Oliver, although it's impossible to look at that positively given we had the chance to move him on last year on much more favourable terms. The media sucking up to the Hawks is funny. They missed out on their man and did bugger all else. Genuine fail from them.

Didn't he kick 5 on Judd last year?

Nothing like that.

It's really fine for him to communicate club strategy. Even if he is just reiterating stuff we know it's good to have every level of the club singing from the same hymn book.

Reckon people are sleeping on Greeves.

I don't think Robey looks impressive enough to trade up the draft for.

Their draw wasn't that soft this year. Double ups against Adelaide, Us, Giants, Richmond, Essendon, and Brisbane. So 3 finals sides and 3 bottom 6 sides. Also lost one to Richmond and beat Adelaide and Brisbane

Petracca's is his most recent post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DP2IFhQEwwE/?img_index=1

I don't really care if he did or he didn't, really just bemused by the hypocrisy from some to give Oliver excuses and leeway while scrutinising everything Petracca does.

I mean JUH did a pretty nice one to the dogs.

Yeah this. Sometimes it's just about filling your club with good citizens who set the right example. A young kid comes through and sees all the senior players are serious driven professionals, that's how you drive culture.

Rival bidders are a bit of a myth in AFL trades. Once a player has made up their mind where they want to go you just have to deal with that club. Collingwood was clearly interested in Oliver but Oliver had no interest in them. This is all even more true when you ask a player to explore their options. You just have to take what you can get.
