What a surprise.

We should have stopped dealing with Collingwood ages ago. Instead we should have gone straight to North and offered Clark for Greenwood

If we can get Kennedy for 2+3 I'd do it in a heartbeat 2+3+23 even. The guy would do so much for this football club that drafting two kids couldn't manage in a thousand years. He's an absolute superstar and would bring hope to the playing group, and the supporters. We've been in hole for 8 years, bottom 6 every single year. I'm amazed Chunk has stuck by us this long, but if things don't change quickly he will walk out the door and he will be followed by Dunn, Howe, Hogan, and even Viney. This football club NEEDS a hero like Kennedy to come in, it's not about our next premiership it's about ensuring the football club can survive the next decade in an environment that is becoming rapidly one sided. That being said I simply cannot see Sydney or Kennedy accepting an offer from us. There is just no reason for a team or player in a premiership window to take that deal.

Oh I'm sorry I guess we should rely on GNF's sources which he posts with all his info (see: riddles). I'm putting two and two together.

A dude making up bs and taking the [censored] with a bunch of vague riddles is not good for anyone. The most obvious answer is the right one: We knew exactly what was going on with Trengoves foot, we tried to get something for him while he still had value, he failed his medical, we get nothing. There was never a big trade, there was never a team willing to give up an a grader for a couple of picks, let alone two teams. I mean seriously, the guy claimed we would be getting two A-graders who would be the best players in our squad and we would hold onto pick 2. How on earth could that have possibly happened?

I agree. If he actually knows something and can't say anything then why post anything at all. To follow it up with half a dozen mind-numbing riddles is bewildering and then to not drop the act in the wake of the Trengove situation is just pathetic.

I can't believe he has the gall to keep up the facade after this shocking news.

You are so full of it.

Of course they did, Richmond were doing their due diligence. I find it hard to believe we were shopping him around in confidence that his Navicular was all fixed up.

Posted this in the other thread, seems more appropriate here: Seems pretty clear what is going on. We realise Trengove's foot is done and we try to sell him to Richmond while he still has value. In the meantime we try to shop around our potential picks, see if anyone is interested (I very much doubt anyone was). GNF what the hell is going on? You throw us round the bend on this stupid guessing game? Feel for Trengove, has been dealt a really [censored] hand in life, and if we tried to shop around an injured player then the club has a lot to answer for too. Will only have burned our bridges with any future trades with Richmond.

That was always the deal. It's overs yes, most of us were content with is if it paved the way to a star but so far there is nothing of any substance to suggest we'll get one. The only thing of interest is that no one in the media can really work out what we're up to.

Trengove and 23 to Richmond for 12. Will likely be wrapped up today apparently.

Being reported on Trade radio as we speak that the deal is all but done.

My worry is that we've never really been very good at this, our record of pulling off these kinds of exceptional trades is not great...
