Waiting for the heading “Ratsacked” and a pic of the old rat bait. wonder who moved the cheese?

I wonder if we are hard at work trying to get up the boards for this year and next as per our usual trade plays?

I am keen to discuss our coaching roster. How do we rate Goody (7/10 for me) should we change things up? Get a forwards coach that isnt Stafford? what happened to Chockos supposed focus on skills? selwyn ‘play injured’ griffiths.?..? what needs to change to get our side back on track for 23, and do we have the right personnel on and off the paddock to deliver.

Strawberry odwyer and Stynes!

At least there was no “i decided mid year, I’m looking forward to learning a lot from some spud and i have no respect for the hand that fed me”….

So what are we left with? 13 and….. then 2 firsts, 2 seconds and a third in the strong draft next year, when we have a f/s prospect to boot?

Says he knew from mid year. Met with them in the bye week. Pitches from both WA teams. feeling like he had checked out from then. thanks for the flag, hope you never see another, except on TV.

A really great game. The ball movement was excellent, the discipline, the hardness in every contest. I was highly impressed by the skills and their application. Increasing % by about 30% was also a huge bonus. Very impressive!

267 pages and a summary: Hasn’t signed = panic/dont panic/panic! He tells the club he is going = we are losing a superstar/overrated/underperformer go home is mummy’s fault, his fault, he has secret behavioural issues at play we get to trade - we demand ‘fair value’ - 6 first rounders, three first rounders, one inside top 7 plus brayshaw, young or sarong, going to get dudded, peter bell-end is an animal! Did I miss anything?

Lets see what is the outcome. I think the whole process is stuffed. All this prodding by the media is empty tosh.

Dual screens for sure…

By 3:10 all the stacks would have happened at Bathurst and it will probably be a parade under safety cars. Will be time to switch over and watch the Dees!

Is he the Mac Andrew of this years draft????

I think AT may be behind petty and turner for a gig, and even Smith might be favoured for certain roles. If he gets no takers this time around, he can work his butt off to get back in front of them, where he thinks he belongs. I like him and would love to see him at his best for us.

It is somewhat puzzling: we exist in a strange capitalist realism. The way we are all deciding ‘value’ on individual humans, on potential of new people entering the system and on what we expect them to do based on the value we assign them. If we won a flag then we got it all exactly right. A club like Gold Coast would have had maybe 100,000 more ‘points’ value in just the recent past and the value has transpired into nothing like the true judgement of success. They can’t even make the finals. What we need to win another flag is different from other teams, so ‘Value’ is completely subjective to the buyer and seller, and not truly ‘fixed’ around a schedule of points. I dont think LJ makes the dockers that much better - than grundy will make us. If our window is the next 3-5, Grundy might actually be worth MORE to us than LJ. But we can never know…. But if we suggested taking what we got for LJ and sending it straight to the filth, people would go out of their tiny minds! So we have a slave market that values people that is completely decoupled from the measure of success, and with enormously subjective valuations. Good work AFL!

13 + F1 + north’s F2 isnt too bad, but doesnt get us the Cadman. We have a potential midrange fs next year, so going early there might suit to strike before brown comes into play. Need to improve this year’s pick significantly before it will get done, either by being able to trade up or they get it in.

I think they are on www.makeitupasyougo.com seriously ,start here: https://www.afl.com.au/news/525222/draft-explainer

So do I read this right: grundy was on a front loaded deal, meaning the ongoing rate is reduced from the big number bandied around? the filth will look to pay some of his salary he will take a pay cut to join us? sounds like we get a pretty good deal from all of this, depending on the pick traded.

All this talk of speed… I would prefer POWER. Being fast and strong enough over 10 m to break a line and be clear enough to deliver a high quality pass. Headless chook running looks good, but in a contested style happens once or twice a game.

It also means we have nothing extra to offer the Grundy deal. Here is 27, we have no other 2nd or third rounders. But happy to give you a fourth rounder! Deal done!

Not going anywhere. Heard it was a new vaccination hub and stumbled in there by accident. Assures goody he feels much bettet after a cheeky shot and is raring to go….

Seems to me freo are in a bind. What they ask for and get for their outgoings sets the tone for the Jacko deal. If they push for higher picks for the players leaving, then that has to set a value for what we ask of them. I would say to them get the other deals done first, then let’s chat.

First positions in bargaining are all about anchoring perceived value. Lets see what drops at the end. Freo are going to want LJ pretty badly (imagine if WC steal him away!). Think they will pony up. I think this will be a later deal as it hinges on so many other things. If Grundy is worth 25, what is this fella worth???

Did we get a pack of twisties with that third rounder? Sheesh. Farewell Hunty, hope you have a son called Mike who we can F/S in 18 years….

Looking at some of the offers, Jackson should reap some serious returns….
