  1. Not sure why we didn't do a similar deal with the cats for Byrnes if Rivers ends up there as the dons and power did to maximise out FA compo.
  2. Won't that mean 20 becomes 21 as well? Thanks for the info on Dom. My sources, who are very reputable, also tell me good things about the kid too.
  3. Anyone heard from this bloke? I haven't seen him in a MFC polo saying how happy he is to be playing for the oldest club in the AFL...
  4. Interesting that this deal was a trade rather than a free agent pick up. Port didn't dilute their compensation for Chaplin and Pearce and essendon got something back which they would not have otherwise because of picking up Goddard. I wonder why we didn't do something similar with the cats for Byrnes? Perhaps his value is so low that it wouldn't impact our compensation. But you would think we would be in a similar position to the them particularly if the cats get rivers who's value is greater than Byrnes so they will not get any compo. But you wouldn't want anything diluting our compo if it can be avoided.
  5. What's the deal with his injury? Any long term worry? I take it his missed the camp because of the surgery...
  6. As I understand teams can nominate more than once following a rule change this year.
  7. We could be trying to appease the club so they speak favourably to the player about the move? It's all I could think of and it sounds pretty desperate. I hope Emma has it wrong or it's part of the posturing for Viney.
  8. You can also script a post every year just like the one you have just made...
  9. I don't think we are actually going to do it but we are certainly getting the idea out there that we are willing to move it on and it could be to the benefit of the teams that may be considering picking Viney.
  10. That's what I thought. It also mentions the pies trading 4 to GWS for hogan in the mini draft which shows both clubs how Viney in the second round could work in their favour.
  11. Why would they risk the stand out player of the draft going to GC for a move that would give them little benefit? I'm not worried about GWS at all.
  12. Agree. It gets back to them taking all the risk for little reward. If it was Melbourne in their position I wouldn't want us making that sort of a move it makes no sense.
  13. Young is a free agent.
  14. I am pretty sure MM mentored Watts this year. After MM made some unkind comment on Jack, jack sought him out as a mentor.
  15. Ha ha glad someone got it
  16. No one leaves for more money...it all comes done to your values and wanting to become a one club player...
  17. Is bald the new blond? Well done jonesy
  18. Davey Clarke Martin Howe Pederson Blease Could that work?
  19. Depends if we get any free agents in...rivers and moloney should net us something handy...
  20. Two and a half wins...
  21. Tigers seem to be very good at identifying a target and landing it!
  22. It could be pushed back one if Goddard leaves the saints.
  23. They will still have to factor in us not taking Viney so taking that approach is still a risk. And no doubt they will be ideally after our pick 4 plus the doggies pick 5. It would also be hard for both clubs to argue that such a deal isn't draft tampering.
