Agree we wouldn’t take 7 For Tracc but what is the combo we would do. We would do Flanders and 6. Humphrey is more than 6 so IF we can get both to nominate us it would take Tracc and some of Oliver deal added to get it done. I will say it again, if both boys nominate us we will get it done. It could be up to King to convince both boys to select us. At least we have a midfield with plenty of room now and they get to play together if that interests them. It is getting interesting.

What we need is Tracc to choose Suns and they tell Flanders it is Dees or you stay with us on current contract money. They can even pay him a bit to match or better other offers. If they want Tracc they need to find the deal. Then there is Humphrey. If Clarry goes, to say the Giants, we pass on pick to Suns if we can convince Humphrey to join his team mate playing for his former Coach in our midfield.

But 50% of the Cats 2022 team weren’t in the GF side this year, so they have made changes.

Tracc apparently up on the GC today, on another beautiful GC day. The weather alone would be tempting him. If Tracc is happy to go to GC we might have Crows and Cats looking at Clarry. Also a Flanders deal and pick 6 could be on the table. We will see if anything eventuates. Standby for a couple of surprises if May, Tracc, Clarry and Judd are traded. We will have some list spots that we don’t want to fill by the draft.

After a year this goes belly up. Wonder why. Maybe we have someone better in mind.

What if he brought back Flanders, pick 6 and an offer from GC to pay all of his salary and a bit of Flanders?

Clarry is going nowhere. He is my pre post favourite to win our next B & F.

I basically don’t accept anything in trade week as gospel until proved or it happens. Accusations are easy, retractions harder.

That last bit that we have been pushing him out, if in fact he said it, is pathetic.

I prefer multigrain.

This is probably nitpicking, but can we please use another word/phrase than “dead” to me. Especially in these times we can use another description.

Agree but they were still mentioned at the time.

You mean by giving him the chance to play AFL, which no other club did in his National Draft year including Freo, welcomed him in, looked after him, paid him, Coached and developed him in a team of premiership players, offered him a new contract and agreed to amend it several times, while believing his word he would recommit and gave him the time to do so, until he told then he wouldn’t. We have basically given him a chance to get poached at lucrative money, that he wouldn’t have if we never gave him that chance in the first place. Yes we were horrible to him. Gratitude doesn’t exist, does it?

And a player rated in the top 10 players of those mentioned as possible trades this trade period. Yes pick 11 is the start and maybe the finish too, or a player we all like and value, can go home but to WC.

An even better call was my posting while Clark was playing in the VFL for the Cats and before leaving was even mentioned, that we should go after him. The exact same scenario happened for Bolton, Treacy and Meek existed when I also posted often about them. I don’t write this to show that I am brilliant, which of course I am, but rather to highlight the disappointment I have, that we got none of them. I don’t need the excuses about each player as I already know them, but the disappointment is still there anyway. Apparently we never even tried to get any of them. That is disappointing to me. Given the players we have traded in in the same period, it is more disappointing. Anyway here’s hoping we get a few good ones this off season.

Chris Judd says hi. Having the worst facilities in the AFL actually hinders your recruitment. If it’s us or them that can be a tipping point.

Maybe the ground has changed it’s mind and now wants to be the Dockers new Training ground.

This needs to get announced very soon, as it will assist with Trading in players.

I think we should be telling Freo we get overs, or we start talking to WC about a deal to walk Judd to the PSD.

We won’t be going for Cox as he is A Must To Avoid.

No use crying over spilt milk, or there will be No Milk Today.

Acres kicked the goal, but you were right on what happened, except you forgot to mention that Viney caused it, by kicking a horrible short kick straight to Weitering, that led to the Judd contest which he misjudged and then the pass to two Blues on Fritta. Had Viney kicked it anywhere else, even out on the full, we win.

May doesn’t want to go, it came from the club.

I did say possible not probable and it is possible. I just find it hard to believe that so many people, including club officials, have been lied to all year by a player. There is no need to do that and then of course you need those Officials to trade you. It would be so simple to say he will decide at the end of the season and then see what he is offered from here and back home and then decide. That is the usual way it is done and I don't see any reason he would have departed from that method. I believe he was going to stay, maybe as suggested broke up with the girlfriend and then got a big offer from back home recently and decided to accept it. To me that is the most likely and logical scenario. Good luck to him wherever he plays, I just want to make sure we are properly compensated and not shafted.

With Answerth and Dodee back next year and maybe only Starcevich leaving from his position and with money needed for Draper and Allen, he could be a chance if he wants a better contract. Not too many are leaving there though.
