We may or may not be winners, but we're the most sure about what we're getting. I'm happy. I'm somewhat bemused that it took so long though given the relative lack of complexity of the deal

Pfft, what would Quayle, two club doctors or a surgeon know? WYL said it was because the MFC played him too much two years ago and Ruchmond flogged him too hard on the track, so that must be what it is.

We only have three uncontracted players left on the list.

No room on the list, stmj. Assuming Frost and Lumumba come on board, we'll have only three live picks, unless we delist a contracted player or pass with pick 23, neither of which I would do for Petrenko.

The only reason everyone was in such a flap about Wines was because nobody paid any attention to Toumpas at all, because everyone assumed he'd be gone by our pick. All the discussion at the time was around Wines vs O'Rourke. I don't know why people find it so hard to believe that maybe Todd just thought Toumpas was a better player, like every other commentator in the business, professional or amateur.

I don't think so Redleg. Currently we've only got one vacancy on our list, with Clark still to exit and Lumumba and Frost still to come in - that'll leave zero. After Tapscott, Strauss and Blease go we'll have three live picks. Pending other trades or delisting of contracted players, our draft position will be 2, 3, 23, Stretch, Jetta upgrade, pass.

Okay all. The emotion rollercoaster has clearly taken its toll, as this is the most absurd thread I have ever seen, and I'm not kidding. Anyone who signs up a new account to post BS can expect a ban for both that account and their normal one. Give us a bloody break. Toying with fatigued supporters is not funny. I'll give the OP the benefit of the doubt as I believe he is truly sharing information he believes to be true, but this thread is done.

Don't think so - if I remember rightly, when we delisted Meesen and Newton when they were contracted, we picked them up on the rookie list without the payout. The Saints taking him would presumably mean they'll also take on his contract, which I can't imagine them doing given the condition he is in.

How could I possibly doubt a poster named "UncleWithBenefits"? Which, incidentally, is the creepiest username I've ever seen.

Okay, I'm pretty comfortable that we're going in to the draft with 2 and 3. Don't have the energy to believe the Kennedy rumour. This trade period has been insane. I'm exhausted.

What you would not have known, is that under that Tigers polo was a ticking timebomb of a player who was about to suffer a possibly career ending injury. It was only unfortunate timing that this didn't become Richmond's problem. (I'd still have been shattered for Jack either way)

That's pretty much what Webber already said.

Going way off topic now rjay, but while I've always understood you putting people's Demonland monikers in quotes, Jack's actual name is Jack, it could probably do without the quote marks.

Too late, I already did.

Is that your expert medical opinion is it WYL? Don't bother answering. Rhetorical question.

Had my say on GNF months ago.

Done.

Welcome to two hours ago, TSFKA. You're in for a really hairy time over the next couple of hours...

Look, I'm all for a bit of a Barry bash, but to blame him for this happening to Trengove is completely ridiculous.

Agreed. Really disappointed for the bloke.

An everyone loses outcome.

"Let alone" mate.

Bump for Bobby McKenzie

Okay, I've officially lost it now. Still LOLing.

Watching you lot squirm is greatly entertaining, hah. I see why GNF does this now.
