Very Jaded

His look is giving business meeting for a multi million dollar contract at noon, and rap battle at 3pm. Kids these days.

The hoodie and trackies look means business

Trade period is our Superbowl. Sure we always lose, but we are always involved.

HE IS CATEGORICALLY NOT GOING TO NOT MEET WITH US

Losing out to Essendon would be a massive blow Saints I can understand, they are going all in and Ross is selling players the dream that with all the incoming changes they can really challenge. But WTF does Essendon have to show for themselves? 21 years in the wilderness, their captain hates them, they've lost Draper, they have the worst fitness and conditioning in the league. If we lose this one out to Essendon I truly think that it's time to acknowledge that 3 years of endless leaks and p*ss poor comms, have made us untouchable to other players. Optics matter so much, and I have been screaming from the rooftops that we have to get serious about how we present this club, how we get in front of stories, and how we MUST REMOVE WHOEVER IS LEAKING STUFF TO [censored] TOM MORRIS. But thank god our board wasted that time fighting in court about voting in elections instead. Great work.

We have no leg to stand on here. Very clearly we are wanting to part ways, and he has a massive deal, so we have no real choice but accept unders or take a big part of his salary on board. Incredibly sad that this is how we might be parting ways with probably the best pure midfielder I have ever seen in red and blue. A 4 time B&F winner who had maybe the best first 6 years of a career anyone can ever dream of.

Essendon would have more money than St Kilda. If he picks Essendon or St Kilda he's choosing money. Which, whatever he's a kid, go for it.

A disgusting move by Ross Lyon He will end up blowing up St Kilda again

Where do the picks come from? They need them for their academy boys.

My guess too. Gold Coast want Trac, but we hold all the cards. You gotta give something to get something.

We have no interest in the draft. Unless we plan on on trading those picks for players, we won't accept it. We already said publicly that we won't take just picks for Trac.

Well sorry Gold Coast, guess Petracca is not getting traded then. Also Humphrey can come out and request a trade, which throws a spanner in the works. His manager is probably trying to increase the offers here from other clubs. We had no plans to trade Trac either, but life happens.

Way to ruin our day Jay!

No way in hell they trade Curnow for Humphrey. Curnow also doesn't want to go to the Gold Coast AFAIK. And Gold Coast don't need more early picks for their academy boys, especially if they get 7 from St Kilda for Flanders. That gives them more than enough.

Not a chance in hell Trac goes to the Suns to play permanent forward. He will play a Dusty hybrid role. That is 100% what Dimma would have sold him.

Let's hope we have thrown enough money at him to hide the dumpster fire

And Gus had a 6 year deal on the table from Freo. History shows that we couldn't afford to lose Gus. He was our next captain, and the heart and soul of this club. The competition sets the price. You play the game, or you get nothing. Edit: and Flanders or Humphrey, if they come to us, will both get long deals. So better buckle up.

And getting a good return for Trac, is the opposite lesson here. Do you want another McVee/Jackson scenario? Because I don't. Long contracts are a risk, but losing quality players for peanuts is a greater risk.

How can Collingwood make a trade happen? And Carlton will have to give up Curnow to do it, which they won't. They like Collingwood have no good picks this year. And GC don't need future picks.

Bella was never moving to bloody Adelaide. She's not 80 years old with a fetish for churches.

It's the hope that kills you...
