Good time to go get a couple of speculative talls too, which Dom has said is next on his to do list. Couple of talks in the 40s maybe?

Gotter do at least one lap of the block after what has been a tense week. Fair deal in the end.

That was a starting point 😂 do you know how negotiations work? You wanted 2 firsts or it was PSD? We landed somewhere in the middle, but the notion Power dominated us is hilarious. He didn’t stand firm at all. Dogs fans further deluding themselves that 30 and a future 2nd for Lobb is somehow...

So no 2 first rounders? No player, No PSD? and apparently Sammy Power bent us over? 😂 I’d say it was about what both sides agreed he was roughly worth from day 1. Given all the bluff and bluster trying to spin it that the Dogs ‘won’ the trade is pretty deluded, if anyone blinked it was was the...

All things considered, it’s a decent deal if it goes this way. It’s not a huge win, I get that, but given next years draft is rated so highly, I think it’s equal to or arguably better than the Taranto deal TBH. 21 this year to strengthen a good draft hand or to be involved in/get Lobb - who...

If that happened and it got done, I’d be fine with that. Given what we have coming in this year, I’m happy for next year to be a total wipeout.

I’m happy with this, reckon the 39 comes back? I’d be happy with the above as a clean transaction but I reckon we will want the 39.

If you send him to the PSD and lose him for nothing and he ends up with us anyway - it’ll be the defining moment of the modern era for you guys, absolute master stroke that could be the start of a dynasty run I reckon 😂

Hahaha tigers fans chiming in, still bitter about the semi final loss 😂

After Jack Bowes - I now expect every fringe mid to come with a top 10 pick. The notion that every trade should be the same as the next is laughable. Sure, you can use them as measuring sticks, but so many variables impact what different teams are willing to pay. How much the need the player...

I’d be happy with this. The laugh reacts would probably because you called us nuf nufs, I’d say.

How have been less that fair? We are about 3 draft spots away from what they want with 3 days to go? We haven’t even dug our heals in yet on a particular offer, we’ve been on the move the whole time?

He won’t go the PSD. A trade will get done. If he did, he will fall to us anyway (which would be disastrous for the Dogs) because no one will want a disgruntled player. The days of punishing uncontracted players for wanting to leave are over, it would be a terrible move culturally for the Dogs...

Of coarse there is. I said that. I was responding to someone saying ‘no one thinks of Hodge as a Lion’ - I just pointed out that with his ongoing, public connection to us, that wasn’t as true in his case.

You have to take on a whale of a contract. It’ll be a future second or third going back, not a pick upgrade this year.

Please tell me this is a poor attempt at humour?

Not sure about Hodge. He will always be remembered as a Hawk but the Lions seem like his club now. Coaches, always around the boys, Son likely to join the academy, has to hold himself back from saying ‘we’ when commentating. No doubt Hawks will be his forever club, but in a functional sense...

Was Lipinski in or out of contract? It’ll come down to if we want to trade him or wants out/Westcoast want him.

This is not directed at the Port fans, you guys have been cordial through everything in this thread. Not here to do a victory lap, you’ll take that puck to the draft as we would have, hopefully you nail it. But LOL at Rucci, Tredrea and the SA media and the media in general. He never said ‘I...

Did you watch Friday? We were demolished around the ball.

Most of us don’t mind? 😂 I’ve seen a majority say it’s not the end of the world if he doesen’t. Berry can play that role. Either take those picks to the draft and or priortise bunch of other moves we could make, there will be no tears.

This could explain the wait too. Just needed time to actually meet with both.

100% I’ve had spot on mail too - as I concluded though, it’s not ‘lock it in’ territory on Big Footy though.

Exactly - he might have said Port to a couple of players 2 months ago and has changed his mind, doubt he is providing a running commentary in their WhatsApp group. It’s custom for players not to bother each other and or gossip or ask questions when they are moving clubs or going through FA, just...

I think the whole notion of team mates knowing what other players are doing is over stated. There’s 40+ of them and half the time they are going off news reports like the rest of us. They get asked and just want to give an answer, ‘it’s Port I think’. At my work, there’s 45 staff, if I had a...

I just think this is not a bombshell announcement worthy of waiting until the BNF, like some other have been in the past. He has already faced that awkwardness once when he sort a trade to the Bombers. I think they have all come to terms with it, to be honest. I think there is more pressure on...

This makes sense, there’s no draft/trade tampering considerations here are there? If we are seen to be avoiding using one FA function to protect getting compensated by another FA function. Love it if we can, but just seems a tad spicey when you look at it in totality.

Yes I understand, he is said to have an offer from Brisbane sitting infront of him though, so we must have something in mind.

Same, I’m happy to have nothing next year so long as we can get Dunkley, Ashcroft and Fletcher in this year. So it’ll be ‘these picks are what we need for the draft’ and you can have the rest. Smarter people than me would need to forecast what that might be. I reckon Gunston and McKenna will...

Just went and checked your last 2 BNFs and he hasn’t polled top 10, was he injured? Also ‘can’t crack’ your midfield, how much of a gun is he? He is a good footballer, we would love to add him and we will have to compensate you fairly (if he wants to come to us) but we won’t sell the farm is my...
