I heard he told them to GAGF, that he would never play for them

Seriously, what do we give up to get both Zac and Jake Lever?

Happy to start at that, don't think it'll be enough. A first rounder this year and an up and coming player would be more likely. I'd rather keep our 2018 first and second picks as it's reported to be a very good and deep draft. That's not saying I don't rate ANB, just that I see Lever as of more importance over the next 10 years

2017 1st rounder and ANB is closer to what they would want, though they'll ask for 2017 and 2018 first rounders

Gary Pert just resigned as CEO of Coll. Any chance he'll apply for Lethlean's old position (no, not 'missionary')?

Oh yeah, ribbed!!!

Very generous of your time Earl. Next time throw some loose change in the hat as you drive by me on the gutters of Smith St Btw, the Romsey folk are too busy chasing local lamas to be entertaining bohemia in Edinburgh Gardens

Uncle I'm not Fitzroyalty, more Broburg with a Crazyburn twist! At this time of year, Earl is probably sunning his hipster tattooed butt on a beach in Noosa whilst sipping a caramel macha latte

Done. Where do we sign?

Good points DT. Lucky he's very young, very coachable and very much in need of 20,000 protein shakes

They can ask all they like, but if he's ooc and he nominates us it would be best for them to meet in the middle rather than him go for nothing.

As we become more and more 'relevant' we will get linked in the media to quality players that are OOC who might fill specific needs. Few cared about us during the Neeld years, now we are comptative on and off the field

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
