Not quite, but getting closer.

I wonder if something like this would work. Gibbs and Blues pick 21 or whatever Carlton's 2nd pick is to Crows. Pick 10 and MFC Player ( Watts/Kent?) to Blues Lever and 3rd round pick to Dees.

I know for a fact that we don't think like that, as the List Managers know very well that what goes round comes round. The mantra is generally be fair in dealing, though of course at the same time trying to get the best deal, but the key word is "fair". The clubs that constantly try to screw other clubs are well known. I think this deal may get done early in trade week, thereby allowing the Crows to deal for Gibbs and others.

But we haven't made our plans public, Taylor isn't commenting, everyone else is.

Would suggest after trade week.

This is the same Brian Waldron who said Lever was going to the Pies. PS. Sorry Demon 77, didn't see that you had posted this already.

Scott played every game in 04 until he got injured, but played only 27 of the previous 66 and my recollection is that he was no fan of Daniher. He played several reserve games, but yes did have some injury concerns. I recall at the time that many were sceptical of the illness reason used for him to go home. My apologies to Scott if it was true, but many at the time thought it was untrue. You may have some more info on that. I think the info at the time was that his mother was unwell, but again you may have more info on that. I remember talk at the time that he wanted to be away from Daniher.

We got pick 12 for Scott, who at the time wasn't getting a game from Daniher. We were treated fairly by the Crows. They played him we didn't, much to the angst of several Demon supporters, myself included. Scott was not at the level of Lever when they got him.

I accept that you get monkeys for peanuts and for class you have to pay. I trust Taylor/ Mahoney etc to get a good deal done, but think the Danger deal, bearing in mind he was one for the best in the AFL at the time, does seem to set a benchmark and hopefully we can get Lever for a bit better than that deal as he is no Dangerfield, ( yet ).

Sorry to nit pick but Gus was pick 3.

And Pendles, Gaff, Prestia and Shuey, just to name a few, were Demon supporters. It means nothing.

Not sure the interest is there so I will start at this stage with a countdown in months, 2

Looks to be a very busy trading season this year.

Not really, but I have often thought I would kill at lawn bowls, because I was a brilliant carpet bowler.

I wonder if we would even have this thread, if our idiot recruiting manager Prendergast, had taken Talia as everybody expected, instead of Jordan Gysberts, in a mind boggling, stupid pick, of Cook and Toumpas proportions. ( Yes I know he didn't pick Toumpas ). Oh and BTW, I am positive if he had, we could guarantee that we would have played finals this year, as he would have stopped at least two goals, that we allowed this season, if not have won us a close game outright. Thanks Barry, you butchered this club.

I have joined BSA. Banana smoothies anonymous. Hopefully I can stay on the wagon for a while and keep losing those banana kilos. Was nearly sent into apoplectic shock when I saw that skinhead number 9 for the Giants on tv last night.

Do you like him.? What is your opinion, do you think we should try and get him? Do you think he would be in our best 22? Do you think we could let Garland go if we got Lever? Do you think he would wear number 6 if he came to us?

Did you know that a Rockmelon is a Gourd?

I was told Kelly knocked back North as he saw them as struggling in the next few years. If he views them like that and presumably his manager too, they may have gone off the radar as a destination club and money alone may not get top players there.

They would have more luck training down an igloo in the sahara.

Well I hope it didn't, whatever happens. Maybe he spoke to Judd's grandmother.

Loose lips. That is a pity if true, we have been pretty good lately at keeping things in house.

When have I heard that before?

Better build a concrete fence as they have broken too many.

Maybe the players will rebuild the house, while they are attempting to rebuild our trust in them.
