Good post PaulRB. Sums it up well. Chip tested the waters to see what he was worth. He had plenty of time to recommit. Thought he could always come back and be offered similar. Roos played the situation like a guitar!

Removed from the Whorethorne web site now. Seems they went too soon! Bwahahaha!!!

Chunk is a different proposition. He's probably the one player on our list Roos would give as much time as possible to make up his mind. Do whatever it takes to keep him. Chip's card was stamped as soon as he said "I'll wait and see what happens". That's why he was put forward this year, to develop our backline without him. Roos is smart, Chip... not so much. If we get pick 3, we win big time.

"If you are not a communist at 20 then you have no heart. If you are still a communist at 40, then you have no brains." (W. Churchill) FFS he 27, which may not be young in AFL terms, but is still just youthful. He's learning, has a lot to learn and knows it. This guy is an individual with strong ethical values and the balls to speak up for what he believes in. Who didn't at that age? Those who base their views on his so-called self righteousness are missing the real point: he can play footy, and does so well. If you honestly think he won't add to our list, you are delusional.

His hamstrings would be like those of Subzero now.

It is truly ironic that posters on Demonland who spit out damning opinions of Lumumba label him 'self righteous'. Can the guy play footy? Will he improve our list? Does he fit Roosy's plan? Is the trade fair? The rest is bulls**t. Roos wants him. That's good enough for me.

Yes please. Like the idea of Greenwood paying for us next year. Strong, solid mid.

You have a short memory about talking garbage demoneyes. Your granny effort last year still has you on ignore with 70% of Landers.

Can't believe that is so. I mean, it is, but I find the idea of earning $600k p/a at 26 unfathomable. Obviously I followed a different path to AFL players. Might have had something to do with a lack of footballing ability. But I digress...

Would 26 help dislodge Greenwood from Norf?

Good, except I think 3 and 22 for 6 and Hrovat might be overs.

Or 2 if they promise not to take Brayshaw or Petracca at 2, so we can at 3.

Why would they trade an exciting young forward with enormous potential, just hitting his straps for another unproven forward with potential? They won't trade Stringer, Bomp, Libba, Wallis, McRae, Taylor, etc Unfortunately, I can't see the dogs trading any of their young guns that we want as part of the deal. It's their senior players that are disgruntled with McCarthy and most likely to be traded, eg maybe Minson, Griffen.

And if BBO teaches them, they'll have no idea who Shakespeare is.

I think Daniel will be a value pick up for whichever club drafts him. He's determined and loves a contest.

Not Angry Anymore, are you aware that this post of yours will become part of BBOs next Yr 10 English Grammar exam?

Waaaaaaaay too much information Uncle Glitter.

I resemble that...

Toady, do you sing GOF whilst having a dump on one of your 6 toilets? "And we sing this song to poo..." Wouldn't be surprised.

Could Blease be part of the package? Any love here for Big Will?

Coming off his best year so far. Really good young mid. Hope he fits Roos' plan and we chase him. If Waite and Higgins go to Norf, they are likely to have serious cap pressure.

Or Collingwood.

Nate Jones will feel even more proud to wear the #2 next year.

Lovely tribute paid by Garry Lyon on FC tonight.

Tulip was one of the reasons I started supporting the Dees. One of a kind. RIP.
