Redleg

I am still hopeful of 11 for Grundy and spices. We should know fairly early next week. I would imagine the deal has already been agreed and it will be put through early, to allow concentration by both clubs on other deals.

I have never seen banana GIn or Vodka. I think those companies are racist.

My boy wins it and is delisted. Still think he was hard done by.

He has landed. A Lion is leaving the jungle.

If true it's not crazy, it's totally insane. He is not Buddy Franklin at his peak.

The missing link. Ruck and forward back up and capable of claiming a position in the side, if he works hard in the pre season.

You could probably cop $1m for 1 year and Giants have already said they would contribute and then give a much worse pick, say our 2nd rounder, for their 6. I wouldn’t give 13. I also see us trading picks up and 13 is too valuable for what we might ultimately need to get done. I am still hopeful of 11 from Swans for Grundy and spices. With currently 5, 13, 23 and 31 plus picks to come, we could really get into a very good position, for something we had no chance of doing.

Will probably be in BZT deal to Bombers.

Gee, it's going to be so quiet around here next week.

Not small, but 186 isn't tall and not a great user of the ball, just what we need.

With all the craziness on DL with Oliver and trades etc, this has become the most normal and sane thread on DL. Finally the world will see the good emanating from this wonderful thread.

Where did Red come from, other than my avatar?

Omg, another reason to stay off channel 10.

And another quiet week to follow.

Read the post you replied to again carefully.

Move Dunstall to CHF.

Agree. With depth players, JJ, Dunstan and Harmes going and then to lose Clarry, would leave us with a pretty skeleton mid field.

Well maybe not blackmail, but working together.

Ah yes, never mind the quality, feel the width.

If we grab the bloke they want, they might not be inclined to trade picks with us.

Given Harmes, JJ and Dunstan leaving as the midfield depth, the quote from the club to the journos, on our trading this year, probably sums it up for this off season. We will get McAdam and maybe Flynn or another ruckman. We may have a pick in the pre season or mid season draft, if they are still happening. We will try and get as high as we can in the draft and take 4-5 of the best players we can get. These draftees will be on base salaries. There may be a mid or two in that group. However, we also have to try out our current talent in Woey, Laurie, Howes and maybe AMW to see if they are up to it and they could all possibly play midfield minutes. We also can try the likes of Kozzie, Rivers, McVee and Bowey in the midfield, to see how they go, with Kozzie already demonstrating his ability, in the few times he was there. Even Spargo played midfield as a junior. Then next year, with cap space freed up this year from the names we all know leaving and next year with at least BBB and Tom Mac retired and another $1m freed up with just those two, we could be in a position to really launch at a couple of FA's. I would be surprised if on the current info, the above is far off expected our position.

.

Well there goes any deal for pick 1 if that happens, possibly.

They have two, Williams and youngster Barnett.

There is probably not a flag winner who didn't have luck with injuries, allowing consistency of performance. Last year we were banged up and this year we were ravaged by injuries.
