You always said you wanted a "stable" relationship.

We will get Balic for 66 or whatever, but Fritsch probably wouldn't be there at that pick.

I can't see the downside as picks are speculative at best and here is a giant of a kid who can kick goals and was pick 2 a couple of years ago and we can have him for 35. If he fails so what. We turn over a few every year anyway. If he makes it, it could be the steal of the season.

Got a feeling I might be politely dismissed. I might be completely wrong, but I just get the feeling that this kid will still be a good AFL player and that he is there for the taking. The Lever pick of 35 we got, would apparently get it done.

Was she happy that at least you named two males?

5 thrilling days left of trade time for 2017.

I still think if we can do the Watts deal early this week and know what picks we have, there is another out there. Balic is a formality.

Then again we could have drafted Harry Toumpas or Johnny Cook, relatives of two former great picks.

It was a real toss up for us between Gus and Lever. Club has followed Lever closely since and the JT to Tigers attempt, was purely to get Lever. As we all know the Tiger's Doctor stopped that. We have got our man. The FD are very, very happy.

Which they said they won't do.

A couple of pick 53's have been handy for us as well.

I do and am confident of a good outcome for us.

Don't confuse our desire for Lever with that for Balic. Balic will get done for a later pick and it is probably already agreed. Might just be some posturing for the Dockers fans.

Has more hair than me.

What about 27 and 35 for Schache?

Possibly.

This deal could be done pretty quickly, unless we are looking at combining it with another player, theirs or ours.

We are being rebuilt very well, in order to be a flag contender and adding Lever today was another vital cog. It continues.

Not always.

I agree we paid overs, but we have a very good footballer added to our side and as I said above, we can now move on and do other deals. Even the Bombers seem to have paid overs for Smith, but they also can now move on to other deals.

Its not about being Melbourne or weak. It's about getting the deal done and being able to move onto other deals, rather than getting bogged down and missing out on those deals.

As usual, the early days of the trade period are a waste of time.

Gotta love the managers. Connors upset that we want to get a good deal for a contracted player, because we are willing to trade him. I would have thought at least we are showing some respect for Jack, in seeking suitable compensation, rather than clearing him for pick 90.

I am so excited with trade week, just look at what has happened so far. I think there has been a mooted trade.

Should have briefed me to represent you.
