Yes nice call. But fairly unsure about Ling after only one year in the gig! I didn't think he was an assistant coach at Norf though either?

So succession plan on ice for 12 months! They have someone in mind or have to find someone else!

"Why pay overs?? It is Adelaide and Essendon that have to 'buy' their way back to the table." I am certain that we (MFC) are well aware of this. Both those guys if they want to come to the party will have to lower their expectations or they will just miss out!

I don't have trade radio. Have any trades been completed today?

Thank goodness for that, I thought some idiot was being serious!

Yes Dallas and during this trade period we all need a good laugh!

I like this one! From trade talk: Adelaide doing the deal for Melbourne Pick 2. They have thrown in Vince, McKernan, two used chewies, a pack of playing cards and one left foot thong.

Depends, did it come from the OX?

Was that on the news hour?

Surely the first question asked of any player from Messendon that wanted to be traded would be "Did you participate in the vitamin injection program?" You'd even go down the path of stat decs etc to protect yourselves. Or are we not allowed to ask because it is a breach of confidentiality?

Yes, that is the case. Should make them easier to deal with you would think? Doesn't seem that way though!

I didn't think he was that bad at Richmond, wasn't he given the heave-ho to get Wallace or am I thinking of someone else?

I was told we had actually decided on a senior assistant but if that was Dew it's back to square one. I was sort of hoping that they had someone else in mind but 12 months won't kill us!

Thought i'd get this guy back on the radar! As I've said elsewhere we will be taking him pick 2 if we don't trade for it. This guy is a gun and just what we need! Kevin Sheehan said as much (about his abilities) recently on SEN and expects him to go top 3

I thought he got into the squad (of 25) for one game but got injured so was ruled out? Injuries have been the main reason we haven't seen him at seniors level. I'd like to see him given a chance

Yes, totally different players! Shiel has more grunt, Aish more flair but more an outside player (like Kelly). Shiel is ready made and only 2 years in the system. Simples

Yes, I agree but everyone wants more than they have to give!

Its what this thread is all about GV and I applaud your efforts! More scenarios to discuss would also be welcome..from one and all!

The Ox is confident. Relax and have a beer!

Yes and I will be quite happy with Nathan Frreman!

It seems that all are assuming here that Dew was the "heir apparent!" It may not be so. Just because the media puts stuff out there doesn't mean it is true. They get it wrong just like a lot of the rumours on this site! As someone here has said, maybe Dew was told he is not the annointed one? The club at the moment is a closed shop in regards to info getting out, that is a good thing! All the successful clubs let no-one know of their plans until the plan is unveiled! Don't panic, I still believe the decision has been made and..... A. Richardson or B. Kirk

Ok WJ, its getting late on a Saturday and it looks like everyone is having a few!

What I am saying is, I believe Mark allen meant Dylan Shiel but just got his numbering wrong! The earth is slow but the OX is patient!

Thanks for clearing all that up BBO.... I think I need another drink!

I think Buddy is 26 and 27 in January? But good point, try to give him a long term deal he can't refuse! However, GWS still has to trade him
