Dannyz

His managers comments. General consensus is he’s a brat and should be traded now if he’s going to pull the pin next year anyhow.

The implosion on the Suns Bigfooty is entertaining reading.

I don’t see how it isn’t obvious he wants to play for us. His manager in not so many words said as such. The fact he wants to come to Melbourne and not club X adds more weight to the request.

Oakes was considered with his wording and said everything he could without making it very difficult for his client to assimilate back at GC.

He said there’s more to it which is personal and he won’t go into it which is completely fair given the kid is already suffering due to the stubbornness of his club.

I took as a last chance of saying let this kid go. We wanted them to go public. That’s what they’ve done!

This interview has put it back on the table more so than off it

“Bailey had genuine reasons for wanting to come back to Melbourne. Ultimately Gold Coast position is clear and we will respect that. He loves his teammates and will be back up on the Coast next month.”

To be fair, when you and i spoke earlier this week I mentioned I had been told Dimma had softened.

The issue appears to be that beyond the 7-8 academy & FS picks, the talent isn’t there like most years. Some draft folk have said this years first round crop without the FS & Academy picks would be second round and early third in other drafts.

Finished the year well at Casey, a really good trainer and nice guy. I hope he gets another year. Showed some great signs in his first 5 or so games. A winger or high half forward rather than defender for me.

Is that with or without Woey Jnr?

Informed of the meeting tomorrow Informed it’s to discuss picks Think it’s those 2 we agree to

I think it’s an acceptance on picks 7&8, for Trac & Spargo compo.

Just told we have a planned meeting with the Suns tomorrow to progress discussions towards formalities.

What do you mean there’s no media attention about him? He was pictured with our coach, His club have said publicly he wants to move, Media are asking his (now Ex) teammates about his situation, Media (Cal Twomey) have said he has reasons to move and he is driving this.

Tom Morris makes me sick with his fan-girling for Tracc to get this move for next to nothing.

Lachie Neale to Brisbane is the probably a more accurate reflection

Publicly opposed it, stating the parkland within the precinct is for community use and dog walking, not for corporates or football clubs. He was then told to forgo any commentary on it and focus on racing rather than trying to govern the Caulfield trust. His departure isn’t bad news but it’s insignificant because progress has been made behind the scenes with the funding we require and a further announcement will closely proceed the trade period.

McLennan/ Atkins

Humphreys coach at Gippsland and his mentor at Gold Coast. Nothing to see here.

Welcome to Rivers Scarlett Atkins and McLennan.

Especially through all the shisha smoke

Correct but the signs are quite obvious. I don’t think any of the contracted current crop have publicly declared they want to move to a certain club have they? The Merrett takes I saw was I’m working through things, not I want to be traded to hawthorn.

I don’t profess to know about this meeting today but I do know we have been told the player would come to us if a trade could be brokered.
