Jaded No More

I would have preferred it never left. If we had 3 second round picks this year (ours, one from the Crows plus the one tied to Sydney), we could bundle it up for a first round pick from a club that needs bidding points. Like say GC or Brisbane.

Exactly this. Jackson has all the traits of a star, but for mine definitely not the desire to be one. He might mature and live up to his potential like Hogan has, but Windsor will be a 250 gamer and a bloody good one at that.

ANB is leaving for family reasons because he has a wife and a child. He also isn’t telling us which SA club he wants to go to. Let us not compare a single 20 year old chasing money and listening to mum, to ANB who gave us 10 years of service.

Not a question. GWS all the way. For Jesse, for the fact that we won’t have to hear about it one day after the grand final, and because all remaining 7 options are despicable and make me sick. I swear to god if Geelong wins another flag I am out.

This could still be a great outcome We get pick 5 Jackson again plays no finals Carlton get creamed by Brisbane

Never ever ever trust Freo to do anything you need them to do.

Fremantle are a joke of a club. Hope Jackson is happy

I can’t see a trade being done. Nobody that Trac wants to play for has enough currency to get a trade done. If he was going to retire why burn the club in the media? It makes no sense.

What would be funnier? Carlton missing out, or Carlton scraping in and getting smashed by Brisbane? 😂

Imagine needing Freo to do something you need them to do. A less reliable club you won’t find.

If only someone eliminated this [censored]’s career 🙄

Exactly this. 11 wins and a top 5 pick? Ok thanks.

What a win. Well done Saints!

Their injury list is a nightmare.

Not sure you’ll get 2 first rounders plus McKay. Perhaps McKay plus this year’s first plus future second. Curnow will never be traded and not will TDK, although I would probably prefer TDK over McKay, as he’s younger and a better ruckman.

McGovern a late out. Lets go Saints

Oh yes I forgot about that 🙄

Why? Saints winning helps our draft position

McKay solves our second ruck issues too. McKay and a first rounder for Trac is a win win

I need this level of pettiness from the DA next year please 😂

This. Ffs get a better lawyer.

Ok so find me 41 goals. Not hard to replace? He’s currently 14th in the league for goals kicked with only 2 others (both sitting on 42 goals) not being tall forwards. But by all means if you can get a trade done that nets us 41 or more goals, AND defensive pressure all in once, I’m all for it.

I have no idea what needs to be fixed. Is it doable? It was with Petty and Oliver, although very different circumstances. (And to be clear Clarry never wanted out). For all of the hate Goody gets on this site, I think he is an amazing people manager and that his relationship with Trac and the rest of the playing group could absolutely fix it. But it won’t be easy. And if Trac’s manager comes to us with a deal that is a clear win for our club, then I also think we will take it. But the chances of that are slim. What I know for sure is that our club won’t bend over and trade Trac unless the deal is a massive one. Hence the strong line that Trac is contracted and will be here for the next 5 years.

I think it’s entirely naive to think that Trac doesn’t want out. If he didn’t, his management could shut the rumours down in 2 minutes. Doesn’t mean the club is going to let him go without first trying to fix what needs to be fixed.
