Hawthorn parted ways with Ablett after he struggled with city life and wasn't keen on turning up for training. He played the following year at Myrtleford under the coaching of his Uncle Len before Geelong recruited him. Along the lines of the Daniher balls-up, Sydney also relinquished the rights to two Riverina products in Wayne Carey and John Longmire to North Melbourne for a packet of chips. To be fair, they were Samboy Barbecue, the king of chips.

I can't see Ben Brown being keen on Cornes beef with Lamb.

*sheesh* Should have picked that one up!

You're saying we should tell Freo that we will send him to the draft? It would be an empty threat. As if they'd buy a scenario where neither of the the clubs nor the player get what they want. We'll cut a deal with Freo (or West Coast, I don't care) and get the best result we can.

What's the irony? (genuine, polite enquiry)

We would then get nothing in return. SFA. Zilch. The statement we'd be making is "We're so dumb we're prepared to cut off our nose to spite our face".

Toumpas didn't work out so no other player of Greek heritage will? Never mind, some of your best friends are Greek, right?

A Zinger and minimum chips pictured this morning at AFL Trade Headquarters. The rumour may be true.

Forget the packet of Twisties. I'd be happy with just one Sheezel.

At least posters are no longer complaining about it being a boring trade period with Melbourne not doing anything.

Wasn't a fan of the blood rule, either. He preferred to Let It Bleed. edit: Responding to Tarax Club, of course!

Jagger used to get his kicks on Route 66, but his strength was his marking. He had Sticky Fingers.

How so? We have no more claim on Casey players than any of the other 17 clubs.

DubDee was talking about Ollie Henry who has asked to be traded from Collingwood to Geelong. This thread should not be closed.

I've got some spare ones that I'd be happy to donate.

It's nice that Jimmy hasn't forgotten us. Say "hello" back from all of us.

Jack! 😲

Speaking of The Stones, I've just bought the newly released authorised biography of Charlie Watts by Paul Sexton. It's titled "Charlie's Good Tonight", a phrase instantly recognisable to fans of one of the best live albums of all times, the wonderful "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!".

I wonder if the FD see Woey's future as the role that Hunt has played and I also wonder if he's ready for senior footy at this early stage of his career. What is his pace like, Casey watchers?

There's a very fine line between "handy depth" and "list clogger".

That may well be the case, Luci. I know he's your favourite player and the prospect of him leaving can't be easy for you.

He's an unrestricted free agent. We wouldn't be "palming him off". It's his decision alone.

You never know when you might need a tape measure.

Wow.
