Barrett is a North fan.

Joe Richards just requested a trade to Port, so you can safely assume Pies will get Houston, using Richards and Noble trade return, to get the deal done, with maybe some steak knives pick swapping.

Yep. Suppose we have to hope his family needs are sufficient to sway GWS.

He doesn't play in ay of those three guy's positions.

McCartney will probably drag this into next week to prove they tried to keep him.

Surely a possible Derkson trade is bigger news.

Sounds like Cats don’t have more, given Smith coming, so unless a player is involved and that doesn’t seem to be happening, he won’t be a Cat, this year at least. Then if another club doesn’t get involved, that Clarry would be interested in, he is staying.

That would have been a problem.

So as an Aussie he said it that way instead of the Italian way. That is the least of his and our problems.

How did he pronounce it?

We wouldn’t have bid 27 and they would have matched absolutely given all the circumstances.

Pretty sure he will be a Dee, McCartney just posturing.

Can someone highlight a story where McLure slammed his club Carlton, just for my interest?

That’s what McCartney is probably pushing for a better deal than his profile demands. We are quick to trade players for unders and are probably seen as a soft touch and then pay overs to trade in to get the deal done. Imagine paying what you get for Nibbler for an untried player of 23 years old. 3rd in our B and F last night and a Premiership player who never misses a game for a maybe. We traded Bedford for 44 and he is now a regular in their team and as described by them one of their most important tagging/pressure/goal assist players.

Have we been rubbished in the media for this yet?

Wouldn’t you wait to see who we got with them first?

Well it wouldn’t be Morris then would it?

Agree. Morrris didn’t drive Clarry down to Rhys Stanley’s farm to meet him and Tom Stewart and also to a meeting with Scott, Hocking and Danger.

He is talking sh-t. He should stick to chesting/bumping opposition players during games.

He is a very valuable player to them as they only have Hogan, Riccardi, Cadman, Gruzewski, Buckley, Taylor, Himmelberg and Brown ahead of him and he hasn’t managed a game in his 2 years at the club. Yep, he is a must to hang onto, given they have no salary cap issues and he is their most valuable key position player.

Of course.

Not wrong, I was giving his age not the pick we are getting.

Do the farms get counted?

True. Lions were considered garbage earlier in the year. Pies were a certainty for finals. Carlton were looking top 2 and Swans couldn’t be beaten. Tigers getting the wooden spoon would have seemed impossible. Hawks winning a final, no way. Yes, sometimes difficult moves create change for the better.

At least you kept it in sports.
