Could see Steele happening late in the piece to another Victorian team (last day mayhem) This may be us if both Petracca and Oliver leave. Could also see Essendon going for him too, or he stays at the Saints which is most likely.

Please just let me be deelusional and believe until at least friday please, I need this to hold onto hope

Okay then, if they pivot, we pivot. Petracca for Merrett (I am not a crackhead)

If Bailey wants to leave this year, unless the hawks pivot on Merrett, it would have to be to us. We have Trac, we can offer flexible pick swaps for the next few years. Get it done Lamby and you redeem yourself.

DF this is fantastic info, thank you for your service!

Possibly has just diminished our trade return (if anything much anyway) from those comments. We can kiss goodbye to Humphrey now too. We are bottoming out

Okay time to take his badge off my scarf I think

Possibly final offer once we storm out of the room!

The suns have likely finally realised we aren't accepting 2x picks and may be willing to trade Rogers in order to get Trac. Maybe Rogers and Pick 7 is their final offer.

First soccer session may be icy as well.

I think we may have to shuffle some people around or look at recruiting a lockdown defender/half back this trade period. AMW while is promising is by no means a proven player, Rivers will likely be required more in the midifield, Judd is going, Salem is 30. That leaves Bowey. I think we need to go hard at someone, I believe we may be looking at CJ from Hawthorn (just putting 2 and 2 together, I'm not certain on this.)

In other news my watch says my stress rate has increased by 40% from two weeks ago and my caffeine intake has nearly doubled.

Thought Lamby spoke well, was quite clear, reiterated that Gold Coast would have to come to us and turn our heads. Now we’ve gotta follow through on this

Based on that has been stated I believe that they know that Bailey wants to get back to Victoria, it’s more of whether it happens this year, which is unlikely in my eyes.

This is evidence of what happens to me when I stay up until 4am multiple days in a row. Would entertain a Lawson Humphries trade too tho

I am very interested to see what the Dons get back for Merrett, especially if they take anything that could be deemed as unders.

I feel like if we desperately wanted Humphries (which I hope we do), it may have to be a straight swap, with maybe steak knives going both ways. They also won’t let him go for unders unless he forces the Suns hand, which is unlikely. Still a lot to play out.

Not if it’s a trade, which it seems like it may be.

Heath is out of contract, Marshall has a contract. They will play hardball with Marshall, we will get Heath pretty easily.

Okay Deep Breaths, time for a glass half full. We have a [censored] young superstar in Harves and another in Rivdog who have both proven they can play midfield minutes. Kozzy is as good in the middle as in the forward line. Vines will never give up, Duke Windsor can slot straight in as well. We have Bowza too who I believe is as good or very close to the level of Flanders. I think if Kolt improves his tank he can play midfield too. If we can target another young mid say a McKenzie from the Hawks, we will be okay for the future. Even better if we can get Bailey who is now top priority.

Yep there is no chance at all.

Well I guess this means Vines keeps his midfield spot next year?

I hate that you are right. But you are right

This situation is clear as day for me. If we trade Clarry, I don’t renew my membership, simple.
