TRIGON

Our current ruck stocks are Gawn and Weideman, so in the interest of list balance we HAVE to bring in at least one ready-to-go ruckman. If that's Grundy, if he's fit, and if it's not too high a draft pick (2nd round) then by all means go for it.

Makes you wonder if there's a spreadsheet next to it?

Its either: one huge defamation case in the offing, or reprehensible behaviour that's almost unimaginable. Saying that I'd be amazed if the ABC authorised the release of this article without first addressing the potential legal ramifications - they must be very confident that their sources are rock-solid.

Max - give this a go... Cluck Me Sideways!

Hypothetical trade: 3 suitors for Bedford, Essendon the keenest (assumption based only on media tittle tattle) and so we trade him in exchange for their 3 round pick and a swap of 2nd round picks - then on trading their current 2nd round pick (22/23) for Grundy. Thoughts? Could that get it done? Would it be a fair trade for all parties?

Many of us have been out late celebrating Collingwood’s 1-point defeat. Feeling a bit foggy, so could you please spell out your reasoning.

A musing put forward by Cornes that then became a 'rumour'. Probably just clickbait nonsense.

I am of the understanding that it is customary, and wildly popular, to express oneself in rhymes and riddles during the trade and draft period. So here goes... There is one chap I'd really like, the chap who's sounds like a motorbike.

Interesting point you raise there. Maybe as fans we should appreciate that trade-period decisions are made on a multi-year basis, not just the immediate one before us.

Well, they shouldn’t be too surprised that it all went up in smoke.

Naughton?

Retraction Jackson?

Doggone?

👏SPLENDID

From what I can glean, Cornes started the rumour and is now mentioning the rumour.

Not a good year. The race to the flag was wide open; no dynasty team standing in our way and we squandered the opportunity.

That's a bit rich coming from Colin B. Flaubert. You Googled my cousin's name?

Roger the Demon Dog is of the opinion that the Football Department 'screwed the pooch' this year. I respect his opinion because he is a topic expert.

So I Googled nothing and this came up:

Some are posters defending the long-bomb deep to the left-hand pocket tactic because 'it won us the premiership". So I went back and looked at where the GF goals were kicked from. Food for thought.

It's enough to make a ruckman spew!

Can we safely assume that #56's nickname is "Mr."
