They can still bundle 13 with Lobb pick or Acres pick and improve it . They can also trade a player to us. Sounding like it will get done.

Lamb has stated categorically Harmes is staying, so we can all breathe again.

You are not the only one. I was thrilled we got him in the draft, as he slipped down the picks. Tall and talented mid.

So we take 13 and next years approx 13 for LJ and Tigers pay 12 and 19 this year for Taranto. Lachie Weller gets Freo 2. Oh yeah!

Thanks Sam.

Can't see it really, but I guess it depends on what WBD give us to take him. I would give nothing of any value. Why do you think he would play better at his third club? I see this as a salary dump like Bowes, who I also would be very happy to take on, if we could get Freo to pay some of his salary cap to help us get pick 7. Freo appear to have a struggle on their hands, to get us good enough picks for LJ, so helping us get Bowes, or at least pick 7, if they can get Bowes, will be a very good start. Given Gary Ablett Jnr and Danger are both praising Bowes, that gives me even more confidence in going after him.

So the issue might be semantics. Harmes might have spoken to Essendon, or his Manager might have spoken to Essendon, or his Manager may have had a meeting with Essendon, but Harmes has not had a Meeting with Essendon. Then again what is a meeting?

Please!

Lever has been worked out and we need to reinvent him.

28, not quick and poor culture. Wow! I hope not. Where is that key forward, unless we think we can draft one with the picks we are getting. There is one we could get with a pick in the 20's.

Well that would put a smile on my dial. However Harmes has been a good and versatile player for us.

Wow! A Dees supporting best 22 Premiership player possibly leaving, following on from Jayden and Jacko and also Bedford for more opportunities. Don’t think I have seen this many regulars leaving in one off season.

Very impressive. Well spoken, over all the facts and respectful to all.

Probably correct.

I wonder what it would take to get them interested, if we could get him interested. Bedford is a small entree, before the main meal.

Probably no chance this year, unless we could add a player to Bedford and a good pick. Even that probably won’t get them interested, unless he could convince them he will leave next year.

Ssh, we may be interested in Finn Callahan, who we looked at in his draft year, but he went far too early for us and he was a Dees supporter.

Could be time to add him to the Jacko trade.

I thought Kozzie lived with Rivers and Jacko.

Well he is apparently giving an extra year to two favourites.

Even me?

Some want to pay nothing for Grundy, some pick 30 or worse, others are accepting we may have to use a late first round pick. The deal will get done, both clubs will say they are happy and Grundy will say he is happy to be with us, as we wanted him and we are very professional. DL will continue discussing whether it was a good/bad deal and whether we should have got him in the first place. A new issue will eventually take over on DL and the sun will rise tomorrow.

And the Cats get stronger with the Rohan replacement.

And maybe Tom Mitchell and a couple of others I forget atm.

But despite all that players still want to go to the Pies and other clubs like them.
