Us winning is all that matters. PS: Without any injuries of course.
-
Hopefully a flurry of activity for us in GF week.
-
It is so strangely quiet these days on DL, obviously just nothing happening.
-
It’s been amazing how many times we have played sides at nearly full strength.
-
So Harmes injured, JJ injured, BBB, Lever and Tom out, umpires as usual with Dogs and we had 2 days less between games and get run over in last few minutes. That’s a pretty good effort by us.

Do you say that from knowledge, or just opinion?
-
We don’t have to accept any Freo offer, that’s the point. A player we get, might be better than our current option and then is best 22. Doesn’t necessarily have to be a star. As an example, Larkey of the Roos is no star, but is better than our current options.

Well not sure you will get an accurate response, other than guesswork.

As a banana man, I feel dirty saying I prefer cheese and tomato on a crisp baguette 🥖.

Does it matter if we know or not?

And this week's best post goes to Daisy.
-
But we don't have to. I would insist on at least their first and if they get the Dog's 10 for Lobbe that one too. Or they can use theirs, the Lobb pick and Logue pick, to try and get a top 2 pick plus something back to them. It depends on what JT sees as our target in the draft. We could get Treacy, Meek and say 14 and 10. It is going to be an interesting trade period for us.

Elvis fried his and that helped kill him.

Another very quiet day on DL.
-
I know this could sound silly, but I just wonder if the club sees some deficiencies in LJ's game and accept that at some stage he would like to go home and see this as an opportunity to solve our key forward and ruck issues, by perhaps getting a key forward and ruck from Freo, plus a pick good enough to get another key forward in the draft. That could end up 3 players for one, who are all best 22 for us. Tom and BBB could be on their last year next year and that allows refreshing of the list. M.Brown will be gone and who knows what the plans are for Weid. JVR is still to play and that would cover our key forwards and rucks and we could still draft or rookie a young developing ruck. I believe that we do hold the upper hand with this deal, if it happens at all. IMO LJ will not screw the Dees. So unless Freo satisfies us, he stays for a couple of years, or maybe even longer if he feels Freo has let him down.
-
And if JT agrees with you, it will end right there.
-
Would make Casey even stronger, with Crouch and Dunstan in the middle. Seriously though, Crows want him and his contract out of the club, He could go for a pick 40-50 just to move him on.
-
That to me indicates what I have said for a while. Jacko will go to Freo if we can do a deal and if not, will sign for a couple of years. IMO he is happy to return home if a fair deal can be done and if not, he will not be devastated to stay a couple of more years and then maybe try again or even stay longer. I think this is about an opportunity that may be available, but obviously cant happen until the season is over. Too much water to go under the bridge with various players and deals.
-
There is Treacy, the Vic Country boy, who is 19 and 195cms and tough and hard at the contest. Him, a top pick to try and get another key forward and Meek could do it. Solves most of our problems with losing one player.
-
Sorry everyone, I should have said 5-6 years instead of about 5 years.
-
Are they still confident of the double?
-
Remember who is father is.
-
If he is the one we want, we might need a top 5 pick. Freo might have to get one. WC might swap theirs for a player, or a couple of high picks. That would just about guarantee the player we want and then something else, like say Meek and another pick.
-
Players don’t have to work to supporters’ timetables. As much as we would like to know, it’s their lives.

Tom Browne would know how you feel.
