The jugglers follow the clowns into the ring.

Sorry misread it, no cake.

5 and 9 for Polec. Wow! That probably takes the cake. You are the winner.

And also the May deal?

You think the Pies will just walk away next year with Dunn and Goldsack probably retired?

It was needed then. Today it probably wouldn’t have happened.

If Gaff is staying how do they get Tim Kelly or fit him into their cap. Could Dockers make a play for him? How would that affect other deals? Might make letting Neale go easier? Interesting 10 days ahead.

Have we got anyone yet? No, well we are f....d.

That is why I am not worried and have faith in the FD to get it done.

Starting to get the feeling that if Lobbe needs to get to the Dockers too, we may be looking at a pick and player for JH, with the pick to go to GC maybe for May and KK and maybe a lesser one coming back. That would mean we get 3 players for JH. That could be a possibility.

But Gaff has more hair.

I think the clowns are now in the ring.

Do you think we haven't already spoken to Freo, before we softened our stance on looking at a deal?

And that is why they told him to look around and why, when we have no first round pick or experienced player wanting to go to GC, Cameron said the trade should be done early next week.

That kid has serious talent. Wow!

They may laugh and he still may go. He also might not. It is obviously something that will be raised. I am sure a few scenarios will be raised before the deal is done. What does literally live in WA mean BTW?

Disagree, the arrival of Jesse would be bigger than the departure of Brayshaw. You sell it be saying Jesse wanted to come home, as did Brayshaw and who also wanted to play with his brother, something that would have come up every year, like the Jesse saga. Keeping 4 or 5 would also soothe the members as there are probably better players than Brayshaw available at that pick. We would need to trade the pick to Port for 9 and 10 and hope GC would take say 9 and a future pick as well, leaving us say 10 or use the pick and offer GC our first next year and something else as well.

Well for a start Angus has said we need to get him over to the Dees. We could then get Hamish, who has not played a game in his first year, to leave the Eagles and we could rookie him, saving Dad a flight every second week to see his sons play. Couldn't see the Eagles standing in his way. ATM he appears to be a WAFL player.

I won't be.

No.

Must say it made the reporter look stupid and pushy.

It is sad and more so, because we have totally supported and paid him during his issues and injuries. But is is a job for him and whether it is influenced by money or family etc, it is his prerogative to decide in which state he works and lives. That is the nature of footy today and we just need to get the best deal we can. As I said in an earlier post, I regard him as an ex player now, as his leaving seems a formality provided a deal is done. He will move on and I already have.

Felt a bit sorry for him on news yesterday at the airport. Was asked if he had decided to leave us and he said no. Was then asked the same question 5 different ways answering no every time. Reporter wouldn't give up.

If May selects us and we trade JH, the deal will be done. Interestingly GC didn't rule out a trade like they did with Martin.

Sounds like the trade deal is agreed. Good to get one done early and concentrate on bigger ones.
