Mayne doesn't have to try very hard to be part of the creepy clown craze.

 

[Flawed Genius]

does anyone know if we will actually get Ahern?

Nobody ****ing knows anything. We are just all guessing. All of us are total shit and we should ****ing hate ourselves for posting over 11,000 times before our club has done anything vaguely related to player movement. Anyone claiming they have sources that know something is either **** teasing this entire board, lying to **** with our heads, or absolutely has correct sources and has the right information, but that won't be proven correct until later, so they're a **** teasing bastard.

I hate trade period. It is the most over-reported, underwhelming time of the AFL calendar, and yet every year, I wait with bated breath near my phone, checking Twitter every half an hour, even though I know nothing has happened, nothing will ever happen, and the slow, inexorable march of time will doubtless claim my life, your life, and the lives of everyone you know and care about long after any of the player movement has ceased and the Earth has careened into the Sun's orbit, erasing any proof that anything ever existed on this ****ing hell planet.

The Wells compensation pick should have been higher.

Hahahaha Greenhead being shopped around by the pies. hahahahahahah

I just heard this aswell !

Well that hasnt worked out well for Greenhead..

 

[Rookie]

You guys dodged a bullet with Mayne!
I think most/all compensation picks should be end of round picks - then the Wells and Mayne picks would be roughly equal.

 

[naturally north]

LOL Mayne to Collingwood. Buckley is a Turkey! :stern look

And Greenwood, double

Take all of the above and now imagine Wood never signed his contract with us and wanted out....

The only thing worse than Trade Week(s) is the end of Trade Week(s).

There is literally one other day of news (the draft) for 5 months.

I love it, I actually prefer these 2 weeks to the season.

Yes I am aware I'm unwell.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Feel better?.

No

 

[Route57]

I just hope we don't trade for a high draft pick player that ends up being a Gysbert prodigy

 

[Rooboy 96]

^ Exactly, that's how the draft works. What's your point?

Or perhaps you can tell us how it would work if all 18 teams were given pick 1 in the first round?

so you agree they are not valued the same, good.

 

[Rookie]

wouldn't do that, we need 2 for 1 deals coming in not out.

don't need to being losing more list space to be filled with later picks


maybe next years 3rd rounder for Hrovat

Dogs list spots are pretty tight, a future pick like your third would be perfect, or a pick upgrade from the 30s to the 40s or 30s to the 20s would do it. Doubt we would want a straight pick for Hrovat even if Hamling leaves as we'll only use three draft picks.

Hope he goes to the Roos, he'd be a great fit for your midfield (not necessarily making it quicker, but his smarts more than make up for it) and much better than watching him waste his career away at Carlton.

Was injured during the last few VFL finals so I feel he'll be even cheaper than if his pretty great VFL form had followed through into Footscray's final games.

You need to lie down mate

 

[Rooboy 96]

so what have we got for Black, or more to the point is he staying on our list again?

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Out: pick 32, 2017 3rd
In: Hrovat, Ahern

WB out: Hrovat, 40
In: 32

GWS out: Ahern
In: 40, NM 2017 3rd

Maybe unders for Ahern but presume we would take on his full 2017 wage.

 

[giantroo]

Nathan Hrovat, 22, is firming to join either North Melbourne or Carlton, but is more enticed by Norths offer

Nathan Hrovat trade: Carlton, North Melbourne in the race for talented Western Bulldogs youngster

http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/nat...r/news-story/2b68d6f2a551287fc062594bb39e0e47

THERE is a two-horse race developing for Western Bulldogs youngster Nathan Hrovat, with Carlton and North Melbourne set to do battle for the talented midfielder.

Hrovat, 22, is out of contract at the Bulldogs following a frustrating season that was plagued by injury.

He played only four senior matches in the club’s premiership campaign, missing the entirety of the finals series with a shoulder problem.

A host of Victorian clubs, as well as Gold Coast, are understood to have shown an interest in Hrovat, who was taken with Pick 21 in the 2012 draft.

However, his manager Peter Lenton suggested on Wednesday that the race for his signature had come down to two.

“There’s genuine interest for him,” Lenton told Trade Radio.

“I’ve had really good open conversations with (Bulldogs list manager) Jason McCartney right through the year, given Nathan’s gone through uncontracted.

“We’re very happy just to keep things open for the moment and I’m happy to disclose Carlton and North Melbourne have had good chats with him.

“He’d be happy with either of those.”

Hrovat, a 175cm mid-forward who was likened to Sam Mitchell in his draft year, has played 30 games for the Western Bulldogs over the last four seasons.

Ah week one of trade week, the "Nothing's happening, our club is silent in the media, we must be in crisis. Why did this player leave us? Why won't anyone come to North? Sigh" stage.

 

[Harris 10]

Rockliff averaged 34 disposals, 1 goal a game and 8 tackles per game in in his last 12 games(10 losses/2 wins) at AFL level.

Is he that much of a d..k that we or any other club won't consider him?

What has he actually done?

I heard he sleeps with fishes. You didn't hear it from me.
