You are the man.

Has trade week ended?

Yep Tigers signed Dusty for peanuts. About $1.3m peanuts a year for about 6 years.

A player who has no hope of playing 8 years.

It does in compensation from the AFL for losing a player.

Maybe not done in the last few minutes, but drip fed announcements in the last few minutes.

if nothing else it is against the AFL Draft rules and should be dealt with.

I know we are all waiting for the JH, May, KK deals, but I wonder if there is someone we are looking at as a late trade.

From the AFL site, How is it not Draft Tampering? PORT Adelaide has fired a warning shot at Gold Coast, declaring it would back itself to lure highly rated draftees Jack Lukosius or Izak Rankine back home if the Suns recruit either of them. Port list manager Jason Cripps effectively cautioned the Suns against taking either of them when speaking to NAB AFL Trade Radio on Monday.

I love the Grisham books.

Will be a Dee tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest. A top 5 pick player of a few years ago.

And we have now made a preliminary final after being a basket case club only 5 years ago. Now they continue to look for the missing ingredients to get us a flag. Pretty good so far.

Can we do it 8.30 Wednesday night? It might help me with my vote.

I am coming around to the Baghdad Bob way of thinking on deals. That basically is if you get what you want, the actual specifics of the deal is not important. For example, if you want a particular player and you don’t get the pick you would like, but still get the player with the pick received, what does it matter? We can get hung up on numbers, when it is really the full deal outcome that is important.

Fair enough and thanks for replying.

Keep posting, most of us enjoy it.

Whose word? If the Hogan deal is done the May deal would follow in minutes.

Just by the way, Oscar's field kicking is actually very good. He does what his brother couldn't do in the backline, kick to a team mate.

Well then you better follow another team.

I didn't know that May had toured the Dogs facilities. Are you sure of that?

If the deal is done that will happen as GC have apparently put 5 as their price for May and Neale deal will get it done. It’s the rest of the deal that has not been established. Sounding like the deal will be done Tuesday allowing a day to do other deals for all concerned.

For a fit Jesse Hogan, with good attitude and no other issues that is a fair price. Maybe he doesn’t fit my description.

The main indicator to me of the Jesse deal being done, is that we have said we are doing it to get May and May does not seem to be panicking and talking to other clubs as a fall back position. If May is comfortable with what is happening, it’s because we have probably told him the deal will be done and to just hang in there. That suggests to me that Jesse will not be a Demon Wednesday night and May and KK will. What the deal is, who knows, depends who blinks first.

2 Sams Edmund and Landsberger.

Should we be manning the airport to see if he is going to GC, just for a day or two, to check out the surf?
