Tell me about it. The whole "he said, she said" routine is a total waste of energy.

Eagles Broncos Chargers

That's the spirit! Here's to us, the real warriors of trade period.

Good job everyone. Think we learned a lot today.

Or maybe Moe was what was inside us all along..

I thought the Dolphins and Panthers game was a belter.

Can we walk back the 750K if the offer is too low or have we shown our hand?

Right now Collingwood are the guy that the girl has a date with next week but they keep leaving desperate messages on the answering machine..

I see someone on the outside looking in!

The players' role in trade period is to talk to other clubs under contract, write cryptic twitter/Instagram posts, turn up to the airport in the hope that a camera is there, spend time on opposition players' boats, farms, holiday houses, talk to their manager every two seconds or not talk to them at all and throw the phone in the toilet, but most of all, have fun!

And let's be honest.. When you lose a game after leading by 46 points at 3QT, you may as well have a tail nailed to your behind..

I think the secret to being across all this stuff is pretending to be across it. That goes for kids stuff as well.

Apparently he said Melbourne were a lot better than Collingwood..

You're thinking like a MFC fan, I like it.

Very similar to Trac actually the way he wanted to leave the year before!

At least we know why Peter stormed out.

Almost word for word what I just told someone.

Every single scenario would be factored in at the negotiation stage. 7 years is a long time and a lot changes.

Freo are House and Land package salespeople. They sell the the dream, the vision, they even get you to picture yourself in the place by selling a fancy role within the team but when the digging starts, you hit rock.

I would too and based on this season, I think he'd be more impactful in big games than Petracca. I can't see it happening either though, not this year anyway.

Trac's 2025 season shaves off some bargaining power at the table. Not that it was bad by any stretch but GC are going to point to the film and say that he's lost a lot of his damage factor. A top 5-10 player going into 2025, it's arguable that he would be top 50 currently and that's after playing every game. I want as much as possible out of this trade but will be tempering expectations. You would hope the Norm Smith factors in but I can't see it being much. Will be 5 years on next year. I recall getting a Norm Smith medalist at around the same age for a 2nd and 3rd round pick.

I love this bulldust the media foam about Humphrey being crazy to consider coming back to VIC when he could have a medal around is neck in 2 years. The club literally just broke through for their first finals appearance ever. They have loads of talent and a core you can build around but there are a bunch of examples like Carlton, Port, Freo to suggest that not all progress is linear. GC may well be ready to go the next step but the jump from top 8 to top 4 and flag contenders is bigger than anything they've faced yet.

Here's a guy who ends up at the arrivals section instead of departures at the airport despite being there a billion times and then gets stuck at a boom gate in a mini van and manages to be found by the 1 footy journo in Blacktown..

Cya round..
