I actually agree, but again — still like the thinking ie lets se what monster offers we can get, as we can always say no. But as morris says below, it’s always been about a bevy of picks with Reid being told months ago we’d do all we could to get him, so maybe it’s Taylor telling Lamb, “Reid could be Clarry’s equal by 2025” & whomever else (likely Duursma) not far off. I just hope we use the other piece to steal Larkey, but that’s a pipe-dream until Mon 2024-2025 I suppose.. If this doesn’t line up with my original post, well then I don’t know how anyone ever will give you guys a potential scoop. Things evolve, but as I’ve said many times — Taylor is almost ‘Reid or bust’ we are OBSESSED with the boy from Kyabram

Ur right, it must of been the other massive news announced today I was referring to! Hahaha you’re literally the most moronic individual I’ve heard in decades, and that’s a hefty field my friend, hefty personified! Anyone who read my original post about something big coming, and that then saw me post this morning — gets it. Sorry I didn’t inc you champ, but it’s because I don’t reveal to much, that enables me to keep hearing these things so if you think I’m gonna go too far and burn all those relationships, you’re wrong! Hoorah 👋🏻

No, pls go back and re read the specific post, I certainly hoped it would and still do. But again, what other big news dripping today could I have been referring to? my post re the disc I had also when asked, had me respond I’d say it’s more to do with Harley Reid than anything else. But thanks for chipping in 🤣

If I had to play bookie, I’d have it $2.80 — As the deal would need to be complex & to have MANY parties say yes. Hence why this time of year 90% of what gets discussed is never even heard out in open. But fact club was calling other clubs re Clarry, value, is BIG!

All I know is that the current bounty inc getting picks 1, and another top 4, to either draft or use for a KF, be it this or next year. The NM piece was part supposition on another’s part, but it makes sense that’s for sure, and that third party is someone I know wouldn’t mention them if they hadnt been spoken too, but there’s plenty to play out yet. But if I hear anything further I’ll be keeping it to myself, maybe with an anonymous email I can then refer too later for dazzle-digging fun.

No. And I hope not, I merely am repeating the narrative of others. But I like the fact where thinking left field and using where we have a surplus to try and full generational gaps as well as immediate ones. But unless it’s somehow Harley and Larkey, I’m a no. But the conundrum is, that it must also mean those issues re Clarry are real, as in the tattoo, the independent doc. The whinging bout the club etc and part of me says STUFF YOU THEN Clarry, but then I compose and remember it’s likely individuals he’s upset with, NOT the club.

And given the ri-donk-ulousness of this forum these days, next time I’ll keep it all to myself — I Mean what’s the darn point when these giblets somehow remain carrying-on even AFTER today. I thought posting this morning what was gonna come today would help alleviate this mess (and cus I was told it’d be out by 2pm, oops 😠) but even still they carry-on like the sour, bitter, salty souks they are. So stuff you then!

Fussbudget, that’s excellent! No but really in all seriousness, kudos, where’d that come from? I do like that one haha, dammit

Yes, the Clarry drug rumours — are you saying they’re real? Hahaha wow talk about clutching at straws, someone’s getting desperate! So what was the big news then? And how did I know this morning at 8am it was gonna drop today at 8PM?!?! Ur such a fool, sorry u turned out to look like a muppet, but that’s what you get for constantly trying to maximise your own self-worth by minimising others. Enjoy 😉

No. The list spots was just what made me ask about what was happening, as clearly something didn’t add up, as in something else had to drop first, and now we know — it’s spots to use more picks. It’s not complex champ 🤦‍♂️

No I said I left with a grin.. cus I couldn’t blv the balls of it, but all I knew then was it was a key player and love it because it showed me we were prep to risk it all, which I love! But in cold light of day, unless it’s Harley & Walter (which it rly can’t be) even now it’s got my stomach in knots. Didn’t hear Clarry name till the following Monday. Maybe if we didn’t have as many donks as we do here. I’d of shared that it was a player, but I knew I’d it didn’t amount to anything I’d never hear end of it, so I guess ultimately the dazzle donks like adonski & Tremblay win!

Ur such a beautiful, adroit contrarian - nah it was the OTHER news that’d rock the foundation of the AFL, that I then confirmed this morning would be revealed TODAY!!! Mamma Mia 🤦‍♂️

Not confident per se, just what the spec was 2wks ago

Yep. That’s been the talk! I hope you’ll now understand, had I mentioned any sort of specifics, and it fell through - I’d of liked like a the biggest tool alive and been torn apart and had to higher a new name and I’ve been here since day dot basically so wasn’t gonna do that. Oh yeah, and I’d of clearly been the source and burned my real self HARD, that too 🤣😂😇

Nope, we put word out amigo

Anything to say dazzle & co? What was it, 3wks ago? need to see final products, but could either be best thing ever and set us up for a decade OR be looked back on as the dumbest move of all time but seemingly Clarry has made his bed. Unfortunately

I’ll take apologies now.. THIS is what was coming, as paired couple wks back, of which, I confirmed this morning! Picks 2+3 for Oliver & a later pick.

Hate to say I told you all so.. but nah, I just make Things up — Something was brewing and it looks like it’s about to become public knowledge

That’s the thing, I literally can’t say m, other than fact I was assured we had a clear strategy & that it was still on, I personally took it to mean we knew the player we wanted to draft & that he was exactly what we need or that we’d get another high pick but not #4 as I was told we were cooked on that front even before then!

No not since they gave Ox the boot, vowed never again!

They can throw the name in all day long - wouldn’t be doing their job if they didn’t, he’s going NOWHERE!

He’s on the target list champ, I’m not talking about them having coffee with him like that fake post did you ignoramus! Where do you think the rumour was extricated from? I don’t keep up with fake account updates, the same acc posted the Oliver rumours, which at the time the fake account thought was genuine news!!! I’ll take an apology in 18-24mths 🤦‍♂️ you really are a vicious numpty aren’t you Dazzle… Do I need to cover off the criteria again? A fake post means any mention of a side needing a key fwd, eyeing off one of the best most (viewed as) gettable young key fwds in game — is disqualified? If he WASNT on the radar every year then our recruitment team aren’t worth Jack!!! Same for King. I think the McKay murmurings are Carlton dans preying for a massive draft bounty personally, but I can’t wait to aak today/tmrw about this no-name target, but if it ends up being someone like Hayes or CCJ I’d be a bit miffed!

Probably, but not locked yet, as they’re juggling many balls at north. Def not worth 5yrs at any sort of money. Player agent getting fellow-players to talk him up perhaps — happens ALOT!!!

Confident of one is exact same I got LW, but for me a lot depends on Brown/McDonald decisions — fact we’re talking to Larkey about 2024, not this year could mean club expects them to stay, although Brown does at least appear 50/50 at this stage. He and Grundy cash would mean we could poach anyone willing I suppose.. it’s just unusual for a specific name not to have dropped yet, whether that means they’re still playing? Or were still playing, I don’t know! Here’s to hoping they’ve pulled off a miracle, but if not some depth w/speed &/or quality kicking would be the focus.

Hearing Zac Fisher might be in the radar after some ‘player recommendation’ — I can see it from a pace perspective, would def add some outside pace to our depth pool. Key Fwd wise, still not getting any names whatsoever bandied about apart from some surmising that the obvious— but still more dream-like — candidates are Hawkins, Walker, Larkey (24-25, — Whilst other names of muted interest are Jack Hayes, Fullarton, Day, Chol, Coleman-Jones, Reid among others prev mentioned. Ruck wise it seems we’ll likely go to VFL, but why we’re not in Goldstein sweepstakes beats me, esp if he’s interested in playing behind Draper for “Success” — Got to be worth a chat surely. Love the club at least asking question if Larkey, just wish it had of come 3m earlier! Stay Tuned…
