Yes. But on the other hand Jack was on the news the other day saying he wanted to stay. So either this has just been sprung on him, or he was trying to show Dees fans it wasn't his idea.

Unless we have an in principle deal.

I hope this doesn't turn into a fire sale.

Disagree.

Who is then?

Can't see Lever going for 2 first round picks. Everyone bar Crows seems to agree.

From what I can recall seeing him he was pretty slow.

I get the feeling that if he and the Manager went there, the clubs are a fair way down the line on a trade, otherwise why waste the time and money. Perhaps the Crows want a Port player and our first pick and Watts is being used to get that player across to the Crows. We will know it all in 3 weeks and 4 hours .

That's a good deal, we get the worst player.

What positions do they play?

The fact that Jack and his Manager travelled to Port yesterday and not the other way round, suggests he went there not just for a discussion but to view the facilities. That suggests advanced discussions. Given he has 2 years to go on his contract with us that also suggests we are somewhat behind the move. To me that suggests that if a trade can be done he is probably gone. I will be disappointed and just hope that we don't get shafted ion the deal. Let me be the first to say I think he will probably be a good player wherever he goes and we will probably regret it. Hopefully I am wrong and if he goes we get the best of the deal.

There was a grab last night on the news, where Stringer answered a young bombers girl who said she wanted him to come to the Bombers and he said "hope so". Therefore I think he will declare the Bombers as his target soon.

That's 15 players they are getting.

Are you serious? The first one was a repeat of the Staker hit. I would have given him a year. PS. On second look, victim not really hurt and claim it was a slap. Maybe not a year then.

Would have thought he would have got a year for those two hits.

Who?

Everyone on DL wanted Wines instead of Toumpas. The only people who wanted Toumpas appear to be Todd Viney and maybe his assistants at the time. It was a monumental mistake. Trengove and the GWS bloke were the best two in the draft according to every recruiter and in fact Port offered us two first rounders for pick 2 to get JT , like the Kelly deal. The GWS is not a dud as a player ( maybe as a person ) and we got Jesse for him and JT was simply cruelled by injury and an ordinary club. Again we all seem to agree that the Prendergast period really hurt the club. Plenty on here can claim that they would have drafted player x, but I am sure along with that would be some duds as well. I have said on here many times that I nearly fainted at a draft function I attended, when I was told we were taking Gysberts instead of Talia. The best thing is that we have Taylor now and he seems to know what he is doing. How many would have taken Clarry ahead of Darcy?Taylor was desperate to get Clarry and has been proved correct. Many other recruiters thought he had made a mistake. It is a tough gig and there have to be mistakes, it is part of the process. Not every draftee will play in the senior side, it is just plain impossible. I congratulate you on selecting Martin, as it has turned out you were right. Were you worried a few years ago when JT was Captain and Martin was just a player and then wanted to leave.

I wish. Mine are mostly like my footy team, they miss out on the big ones and don't win too often. Has Dusty won yet?

Almandin to go two in a row.

Less than 2 months.

But Joffa hates him.

It would have been a massive improvement on our previous recruiter.

Don't know why we are all discussing this as there is no way the Tigers' Captain is missing the GF for that incident.

First it was not a final at stake and second Brent was not a player for a big popular club. The club he played for, copped it up the backside from the AFL and were too scared to do anything about it. PS. I think Brent holds the record for the only player in the AFL to be suspended for a bump that missed, with no contact to the other player.

Shai Bolton kicks first two of VFL GF and sets up 3rd. We need another 1-2 of these small, opportunist, outside mid/forwards. They are the X factor in all finals so far.
