It's not done yet. I don't trust anything about trade week until after the event.

If Giants get Stringer, Wade needs to ring McCartney and say "do you honestly believe I play ahead of these blokes, Hogan, Cadman, Taylor, Buckley, Himmelberg, Riccardi, Brown, Gruzewski, Aleer and now Stringer?" If he hasn't got a game in 2 years before Stringer joins, how the hell do his chances improve? Then say " you are affecting my family and that will affect my footy".

Hopefully he has a new friend in Ricky Mentha and can't bear to leave him.

On the positive side, at least 11 months of peace hopefully, before the Tracc and Clarry rumours resurface.

Not sounding great for him at this stage.

Thanks.

We might need to have a late pick for Noah Yze.

But why pick 2k and not say 3k? Is it an accepted standard for example? Is it just an Aussie Rules standard?

A fit Tracc and Clarry are pretty big ins.

I never understood how the 2k run indicates much in football other than this is the speed a person can run 2k. I don’t see 2k runs in games. In other words why 2k?

And Kentfield, given they are probably not going to play Fullarton. I think we will move Petty back when May and Tom go, so we probably see Wade as insurance forward and back. It may say something about Adams:

If they get Stringer they will have 10 players ahead of him, then why on earth wouldn't they let him go for more opportunities and better pay? If Jake comes he goes imo.

I don’t know why but I am excited by this kid.

Only 5 more days.

I think we have the same friends.

I forgot Aleer and we should all hope they get Jake Stringer, as that will be 10 ahead of him and make it easier for them to clear WD to us, which I think will happen.

Agree with everything except maybe the last 2 words. We all hear rumours and personally I love hearing them whether they turn out correct or incorrect. It’s one of the reasons DL is good reading. I disagree with attacking people over their rumours and hope they always continue. Just on this one about Clarry going to the Cats, it would see several people appear as liars or fools if it happened. Lamb, Green, Richo and Goody have all said 100% he is staying. Mackie said it won’t happen too as i recall. The Cats apparently only offering a F1 and not wanting all of his salary and not budging. That if true would stop it happening. For the above reasons I don’t see it happening, but then again footy is a funny business, yes business not game. Keep up the rumours Picket and watch out for those snakes.

ESPN version last month had him at 9. We will see draft night.

The Sporting News yesterday, Top 10 AFL draft by Kieran Francis. I can’t find link.

Lions not interested in Membrey now.

Langford not in top 10 of one phantom draft out today by Kieran Francis, whoever he is.

We don’t seem to be linked to any similar player coming to us, so that is probably another indication of our intention. Clarry hasn’t requested a trade either.

And sounding like Lions open to it. Suppose Ashcroft and others in and Coleman and McCarthy back helps.

I have a source who tells me to never believe everything you read or hear in the media.

Hello Kane Cornes!
