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….

List has to be refreshed, players chase better opportunities. Thanks Toby. Lets not cry over spilt milk, it is Hunt and Bedford we are talking about here. Good luck to them both with their new opportunities. Next.

The FD will work out what Grundy is worth to us and go from there, I’d reckon. All the factors like cost, contract length, alternates, injuries etc would all be factored in. coll need hm gone more than we need him in. Coll need it done early in the trade period, which suggests ‘fair value’ may be easily paid by the filth. Can’t see us being bent over on this one.

Nah, just in general. They prey on the hopes of all teams supporters who didnt win the cup. This week is conjecture, no real news. I come on here (DL) to get my hopes built up and dashed - i reckon people on here can make the same ‘educated guesses’ as Trade radio muppets. When things warm up it may get better. Want something different to listen to? There must be some paint drying somewhere…

More fool you for listening…..

And 2022 they slid back in form, not stepped up to another level (Kozzie excluded, but without consistency). Top 6 played with niggles, bottom 6 dropped away. Need to see the list- or the players on that list - do much better next year.

If he didn’t think he was likely to be a bad boy again, why not sign as a show of good intent? I understand the fairness issue, but saying no to behave yourself is how this rejection could be perceived, rather than saying no to an unfair set of clauses.

And soon… next year are all the amazing talls….

Has his medical been sorted? Are we buying Fine Cotton or Phar Lap?

Toby has apparently been looking for more ‘opportunities’ and is considering a move, with the giants a likely target. Thoughts on his value to us/ at trade? Will Toby flourish somewhere else, or will he get more time in ground with us next year?
