If this is to be, it needs doing asap. Mock bravado and delusional standoffs just bite you....and make you look stupid when reality eventually over-rides. MFC will do a deal, one that works for us. So many caught up in false detail. Watch and learn

Some folk have a very strange idea of trading. It's not war , it's an opportunity to exchange for mutual benefit. Of course there are times it's slanted, but that's just market forces at play. It is what it is.

Heard wrong.

Every market is different. This is 2018...it'll be different to others as they are to this.

got ya

are you late for dinner ?

All things aside...i totally agree. You stay ,you go, you're ambivalent... If he were staying this thread probably would not exist... it does !!

youd only say anything if you were staying ... qed

you honestly think he hasn't ?? this played out months ago really

there's a lot to play out. Disregard the public info. the backroom boys are playing on a different table. In a game of dominoes....it often matters what goes first. this is important to the trade week. Im intrigued

we do..we are better surely than Nuffnuff. Wed offer the same , thereabouts to Hawks, Pies, Toiges. is about $$$$ thats fine....enjoy looking up at us Gaffe

What do you reckon of the notion, apparently, all teams improve ( supposedly ) , their list. So in some regards the status quo simply floats up. In that view will they rise higher than others in order to climb the next flight ? Me, i dont think so. They struggled when push came to shove...though I must say Cunnington is pretty handy with a shove. Funny I think this idea of 6-6-6 as I see it as a recurring theme. I see them as somewhere low in the middle six. I dont think Scotts game stacks up to the rigours demented competition. There a little too light on style to goal ( As we were) They had a pretty cruisy run last season.. I do however think they have done well to land fish. will they gel as a team ? $64 q We'll only know in combat I acknowledge

track him down...yore there

Red...I like the banter with your good self on these matters...as to menus...well......lol ;).. I digress. I see GC as the litmus in a fashion for all of this. GC is a bit of a mess currently...but Dew is no mug. He's needing to rebuild...and on the run. I see him as quite pragmatic. If he holds any sway over their FD some sanity might prevail next week. I fear far too many people are viewing this ( the Hogan extravaganza ) in too much isolation. I would agree if we can help facilitate ( in a fashion ) a viable remedy for some of the SUns worries then they ought to be a little kind in return. Maybe unlike some...id be happy to see most of our desired deals through.. If all...well yahoo and crack the champers.

he obviously lost a bet....seems most probable with his footy IQ

he has family and friends there apparently......?

certainly not I....middle table rubbish ... Gaff or more likely Gaffe as I think hes surely made one

ffs sake the fwit is wearing a Filthy jumper...how can ANYONE take him seriously

i dont even want to particularly use any of those sharp picks to get anyone out the draft..In my view you use them as currency to get a player ready to go... as the adage goes...trade for players...draft talent. All around there has to be some minor leniency in what anyone wants as to what they can actually get So though I know what your getting at its not how Id do or look at deals here.. In my world Hogan goes out...other players come in.. or more precisely Hogan and a bunch of players out...a swag of noobs ( to us ) in. I dont really care as to the precise number of picks...or the # attached to pick...as long as it get all the deals I have in mind done. I imagine the FD has a few in the deraft in mind but as they're seedlings by comparison theres some largess there...In trade ...youre dealing pretty much with near absolutes...i.e known ( or as much as possible knowledge ) of the players involved

in all honesty Id equate pick 2 to pick 4 and say pick 10....not 4/5 5/6. but thats just me Red I seriously think Hogan for 4/5 5/6 is pie in the sky stuff.. 4 and something ( under 12/13) yes imho

It can be very murky as its a rolling 4 y period and that said no sooner had the afl made these clear-as- mud rules they gave out exceptions. As long as you keep to the vibe Im sure its all ok !!

Think outside the square. We got bugger all picks either really atm.

Thunderbirds are useful

get Kades fitness and injury issues sorted....he'd be the bargain of trade week

I think the error many are supposing...( its certainly a foundation for much stupidity in the media ) is the idea of two sharp end 1st rounders...and thats all. if my crystal ball was less fuzzy Id probably be looking at around a good pick...sub 7...another 1st rounder..10-13....and an exchange of maybe a latter 2nd from Freo for a 3rd from us. its all about providing the currency for other deals...MFC will look holistically at all of this Im absolutely sure . And why? because thats the track record of recent years...just get the deals done to get the deals done. You dont really get to spend any change !! The deal with GC for May wont be in isolation either...so again..its all about packages that fulfill requirements...ours and others.
