If I recall correctly, Saints sent Luke Ball to draft and Port sent someone whose name I forget, think he went to Carlton.

Pickett get a grip. They know he can play. There is a reason they are moving him on and it’s not money. You must know that. Our desires to keep Clarry are commendable, but we don’t live inside the bubble. This has been coming for a few years. We need to change or have the same result again and then suffer more pain.

And now they are the only club talking to JUH.

Is it a Scottish Swan with the same name as a tall Lion, who used to have a long drive to work?

One 4th place in a B & F compared to Tracc’s achievements is nothing.

It starts monday.

He is a Queenslander and we just took Mihocek. Would love him, but we need goal kicking mids more, but yes you would have to be interested. I think he would be harder to get out of the Suns BUT they are now talking to JUH. That would make Walter even angrier. Would you take Walter and clear JVR and Woey back home to Eagles for a high pick, they do have 1 and 2 and tell them we will let Judd go to them if Freo are too difficult.

Saints gave offered 7 for Flanders. Giants have 12. We will pay some of Clarry’s salary. We will absolutely get 12 for a player who is miles better than Flanders and will end up on a cheaper salary. 4 B & F, AA, Premiership player. What has Flanders done, nothing? 32 what an absolute joke.

Entirely logical. He comes out and says he wants to go home for family reasons and play for the Dees and we are in play.

Then we have a problem.

There has to be a handful of non NGA or F/S players that will be good players at a bare minimum. We will take one selection at the least. I would be shocked if 40-50 players aren’t selected in the ND.

Humphrey is not Tracc, not close to him.

You don’t want the 7 they get for Flanders that’s already apparently been offered. 6 and 7 sounds better if you can’t get Humphrey or another very good player as part of the deal. We have to remember that Tracc is the highest credentialed player mentioned in trades this year. This isn’t us throwing him out, it is him wanting to leave. With Ablett Jnr he will be their biggest player trade and they need to get it done Hopefully Humphrey says yes to us and we will get a good deal. Him and an early pick 6 or 7 gets us another good young draftee. We must get acceptable value.

I was in your camp, but if we have a spot to fill, I think he would be ok for a couple of years. Experienced big body clearance player, who would come cheap in trade and on a cheap contract. Probably thrown into the Heath trade. He is better than anyone we draft after first round or two and would be angry with a point to prove. He would be a great mentor and is a decent bloke. He is a clear salary dump by the Saints because of their new signings. Yes he could help us for a couple of years and he in some ways fills the holes left by Tracc and Clarry as a contested clearance player.

Not that I wanted him, but now that he is a Dee, I am looking for the positives. One positive you didn’t mention, is his ACCIDENTAL clumsiness, that sees him falling on players, or bumping them in contests and ACCIDENTALLY hurting them. It is reminiscent of the CLUMSY Dustin Fletcher and for the older folk on here Michael Tuck. Arms, elbows and knees going everywhere.
