I have a problem giving them pick 3 for a player they don't even use. Greedy bastards, how's anyone supposed to catch up with them with all the quality they have already plus another pik 3? Give us another player as we'll however and I'd consider it.

Astute ans strategic recruiting. We MUST nail all our draft picks- also, when it comes to free agency- we must retain our players to allow us to pick up free agents ourselves. To do this we must become a better team post haste, which comes down to perfecting our development and of course, nailing those draft picks. When trading draft picks, if possible we should deal with clubs in similar positions to ourselves. Dealing with powerhouses will only help to prolong their dominance, easier said than done as a good trade will strengthen us- but if it also strengthens the team your chasing, how do you bridge the gap? In short we need to perfect the elements that are in our control, and be more strategic dealing with other clubs. We need to shift our mindset to winning at all costs and be more ruthless with moving on passengers, which I think we are in the process of doing.

Yep- he has no real skill, just athleticism. Just throws it on the foot with no real target or purpose. We players with foot skills.

Lol. I'd walk away from the game if we recruit this tool. Deadset douch

Essendon would want a good final series this year, could be their last for a very long time... Great news cheating flogs

Apparently Carlisle considering doing a Ryder as we'll. The dominoes are falling.. And it's a thing of beauty lol!

We can still sell this club, we have some hope in Hogan, Trengove, some promising newbies in Toumpas, Salem, JKH, Tyson, Viney.. Plus money talks.

No I will be crying and contemplating suicide.

He also said he will wait to see the direction the club is taking- well he's seen it.. Now what?

Missing the point- no one begrudges him the right to exercise his FA rights- we just don't appreciate the fact he won't admit he is considering exercising them- hence he isn't doing the club any favours in planning a replacement and is seen to be stuffing us around. It's just not a good look for anyone to do that to an employer that has provided you wih an income for a long time.. Considering it's our team that's being strung along we take exception to that, and we have every right to

What special assistance- you can't hand out PPs or extra picks to a club that's been found guilty of mass drug cheating, every other club would riot, and rightly so. Their VFL team better start preparing for a season of AFL footy though

I'd go after Zaha. Offer them all the spuds were going to delist- they are going to struggle to field a team anyway. No high picks to them though- they can take Strauss, blease, Evans and Tapscott. Loving this, by the time this is over they will be in a worse position than us.

How did you find that?

That was a joke. Didn't hear anything about his supposed meeting with Roosy today, but the lack of any news tells me he still hasn't made up his mind yet..

Frawley delayed the meeting for another month

I'm just waiting for the "should have drafted Petranca" or "should have drafted Brayshaw" threads to arrive. They will, apart from Tyson, when was the last time we were genuinely happy with a first rounder the club secured?

You gave them a "Z-"

So he didn't turn up? But I thought he hadn't made his mind up yet.. So much for honest country boy, what does that even mean? Is one to assume because you were conceived by a bail of hay and grew up with chooks you are more honest than a regular boy from the big smoke? Spare me

That's the positive I take out of the messy situation. Stuff the pies, crows, eagles and suns- I take pleasure in the pain they feel.

Did chip turn up at Mad Monday

North will roll them, don't worry

I think we can trade pick 3 ( if we get it) to a team maybe interested in Wright

Exactly, I've never understood that. The team bringing in the free agent gets to do so at no penalty or compromise to their draft position, but if the team that loses a player to free agency wants to utilise that system it will dilute the compensation they were fairly awarded for their loss. Blatantly set up to keep the draw cards up the top whilst the little guys walk on the spot. Very unfair

Now we know the real reason behind Satys presence at training- he's grooming them lol

Pick 2 on petranca, deal pick 3 to North for a player and their first rounder, they can take Brayshaw. Done
