OK cheers. Personally, I'd be very pleased if we heard no whispers about potential trades until they are about to happen. Roos kept our cards close, I hope Goodwin can do the same. I reckon the players would like it that way. These clubs that are linked to all and sundry would be frustrating to supporters

Lish, do you have any intel or links on this? Just wondering where people are getting this info from (apart from us wishful thinkers).

Oh now listen here Toady, this type of behaviour is blatant baiting and must stop forthwith. You and jrnmac are teetering on the abyss and must pull back. If anyone mentions Cam Schwab I'll spew. Oh sh!t, I did it......

Them there's a permanent banning around these parts pilgrim...

Hopper from GWS delays re-signing. Talk he may slip out. Anyone have intel?

I get your enthusiasm, but it's not a quiz to name a trade that has resulted in a flag. We all know that one does not necessarily cause the other. It's about making our team better overall so that we can improve and get closer to a premiership and eventually win one (or two...) If Lever makes us better, and clearly he would, there are only a handful of players who could not be part off the trade discussion. Frosty is not one of those. One thing I hope we do not do is trade a future 1st round pick, next year's draft is reported to be exceptional

Does that include a 'pressed ham' dc?

Head towards womanly, Earl. Balance your inner chi. Ohmmmmm....

Beat the Crows in Darwin next week and he'll have seen twice this year the quality of team he could be playing with.

If we were to land Lever I'd let Frost settle as depth at Casey. I'd play Lever with TMac, and where match ups pervail, OMac as 3rd tall. Another option if we got Lever (a I know this won't go down well with many) is to test the trade value of TMac. Next year is apparently a bumper draft. Would have to consider it if we traded Tom to Brisbane, Coll or Gold Coast for a future 1st rounder.

$800-850k is not overs. If he matures into a top 3 kpd in the league, which appears likely, it will be worth it. Does he fill a need? We have quantity not quality, so yes. Given there's an extra 20% in SC we can expect to see more of these mega deals become the norm. Hope we are into him and an experienced, high end mid. Reckon he might stay at crows.

Farmer, Neita and Balls (your examples) are from a different era. Hodge was suspended by his club for drink driving, but I guess you knew that. But I digress off topic

Different era, different expectations Great photo. Time waits for no man

We're you riding or were you ridden?

Improving nicely. He and Pig are good pick ups. Anyone like to trade them back for a couple of 2nd round picks?

I noticed that Lever originates from Romsey. Could that be a significant factor in negotiations? How about free board at BBO's mansion and all the jolly good floggings he could possibly enjoy? Hard to knock that generous offer back

Not a betting man. Do you doubt he would be a fitting winner?

I'm calling it... Hibberd will win the bluey.

Article says Wiz will be playing alongside Brad Flower, son of Robbie.

Thought you'd be a VB man Earl. (written in sarcasm font)

I've heard next year's draft is a cracker. This year's is shallow. Would JT consider a deal involving our 1st rounder + player this year to Hawks for their 1st rounder next year (assuming future pick rules petmit)? Gets them back in early this year for another ridiculous high profile trade and gives us a second 1st rounder for 2018 draft. Obviously not as simple as that, but you get my intent.

Are you taking your team of servants Uncle? Must be expensive to take such a large entourage. Lucky you are filthy rich...

Bent humour bub

So he'll play aged 34 "no doubt"??? Fyi, AFL seniors does not mean 60+.

Sure, but he's not exactly what could be described as durable or super fit. Big men who are depth often burn out quickly. I hope not though. He's a favourite of many
