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.

Crows have F1st.

Maybe they were showing him his future farms and how to use a tractor. If Clarry goes, there is a reason and it would be fair to assume, most if not all on DL probably are unaware of it, so let’s hope if he goes we get fair compensation and take a breath. I am not happy either as he is my favourite Dees player but it will be what it will be.

I was answering as to how it got out into the media etc.

Could be as simple as at a function Pert is asked is Clarry gettable and he might have said for the right price most players are. Then that spreads to we are shopping him.

Fair enough Billy, but I won't be leaving my club because some players do, no matter who they are and including Clarry, my favourite player. I also think the club may know more about our players, than we do from the outside.

Looks like you were right. However after a lifetime supporting this club, given what I have invested emotionally, I will never give up on them, even if Clarry, my favourite player leaves and anyone else for that matter. I have made my bed with the Dees and I will lie in it forever.

Sam DeKoning plus would be a good start. Would you do Shannon Neale and Sam DeKoning? Forward back up ruck and key back.
