Did we draw a good barrier?

Disagree. We are not a quick side and have even said we were looking at outside run and identified Smith as a possible, for a 3 year contract. Just because we had a purple patch in the second half of 2018 doesn’t make us a quick side. I think most would agree that Blues and Saints are quicker sides than us and they keep loading up on pace.

Pity.

Thanks. Apparently Dan made the decision on his own and neither he nor anyone else in the Government can recall anything about it. Also Unified Security have been paid $1m to deliver the cheque and they are doing it through Uber.

And if we said to North, we will get you Stephensen for Brown and then force Pies to take a lower 2nd round pick, as they just have to salary dump, it gets better.

Yes!

As I said when Treloar move was mooted. Unless Pies paid at least $300k each year for the 5 years of the contract he was staying. Looks like when Dunkley goes he comes in. Pies will still need to do a bit of clearing so guess Stephenson will be a Roo today and HOPEFULLY Phillips a Demon.

6.00 pm and probably yes.

Good to see that you have woken from your drunken stupour and crawled upstairs, from your dungeon wine cellar.

They were spooked by the Papley result in moving picks and couldn't afford to not get Saad for their fans.

Don't think he has won a Coleman. Few seconds and thirds.

Essendon has received $6.28m in funding from the Victorian state government to complete the second stage of the development of its training centre.

Saad was traded for Bombers 2018 2nd round pick in Oct 2017. That pick would have been about 26 and then pushed back so probably ending up about 30-32.

Which BB won't help. Interesting a side like Carlton which is probably a quicker side than us, said they needed more speed and together with the Saints, have brought in a number of quicker players over the last 2 years.

Might only take a phone call with a new offer and expression of admiration for him and a reborn future at his club.

Hope he doesn’t try and turn BB around.

Not a rumour but a feeling, that we must have more targets than just BB. With teams that have improved like Saints and Blues grabbing everyone in sight, it would be interesting if we have only targeted one player. If we get only BB and he doesn’t perform, it won’t be a great trade period for us. If he does, then it could be a very good one. I am still hopeful of Phillips, the Pies’ one, to help fix a wing and also another pick upgrade.

Back then without NGA’s, about 25-30. Didn’t Bombers pay about that?

Was having a chuckle to myself, as guys on Fox Footy were gushing over Saad and his trade for pick 8 today, as I remembered pushing him hard on DL, when he was rumoured to be unhappy at Suns and plenty on here knocked him completely.

He is 32.

That won’t happen. BB will be with us next year. I would be confident JH has plans for certain picks and will get his deals done, at least those with us getting something or someone. That might not be the case, where we are trading players out.

My gut feel is that IF we are after Phillips and Pies do deals on Treloar, Stephenson and maybe Cox, they will be in a position to keep Phillips, or play hardball for a trade. SO. if we want him, we might have to do a deal now, or pass, unless of course they want Tom.

Didn't Tom tour their facilities? They could take both Macs to add key depth at both ends of the ground. Cameron, Williams, Langdon, Hately, Corr and Caldwell leaving plus delisted players and maybe Mummy retiring, frees up a hell of a lot of cap room.

Wonder if that sparks interest in Tom.
