so in the event the Hawks cannot get a deal done and Scully nominates us, you would still be a no? I strongly doubt it.....

If the Hawks cant get the deal done and we can satisfy GWS then yes on one condition we revise the initial contracted offer and offer less $$$ like we did with Martin when he was being shopped around by his agent to GWS.
That way he takes unders to come to the club, im not going to be okay with a bloke who chooses a team for $$$ and then goes well if i cant go there then Richmond it is.... But clearly you are okay playing second fiddle to the Hawks im certainly not!

What is holding up the Lloyd trade?

Shipment of bongs from China.

 

[SumTingWong]

Lloyd is trying out as a kicker for the Denver broncos

I don't know what that means

 

[SumTingWong]

Shipment of bongs from China.

That only takes 3-4 days.

And the Stengle trade too. I thought the Stengle one especially would have been quite straight forward.

Games people play. Maybe we are trying to inject ourselves into other's trades to get a better pick/player. Or maybe other clubs have higher priority trades that require the pick we'd get. Either way, if we are patient and careful we might land something nice and tasty.

But it's less than the cost of a single bong.

Maybe we should keep him? Every club needs their own Towely.

Hawks are close to a Premiership.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.....HAHAHAHAHAHA....HAHAHAHAHA

$$$ it is then...

 

[Lsta062]

Or some of the players in the VFL will step up and become that depth, ever thought of that as a possibility.

It is a possibility but not a guarantee. It is a risk going into the 2019 season without improving the midfield/ruck through trading in. We could be saved by landing an immediate impact in the draft or by a VFL listed player making a left-field improvement to lift our midfield/ruck. It is not a guarantee though.

Trading in just one solid best-22 player into the midfield or ruck would be fine IMO, it doesn't have to be both.

We are in the race to get him. trust me

 

[Ned_Flanders]

What's legal in Colorado that ain't here?


It's never good when you have to explain the joke

Who gives a toss about being second fiddle? He has short listed clubs 'close to winning a premiership'. We certainly fit that.
We were up against Hawks and Pies for Lynch, and won.
Got to be in it to win it, you do not pass up talent that Scully brings..... big yes from me.

We get Scully, and we become a lethal football team, much moreso than this year.

 

[Kyusss]

the assumption that anyone who chooses a club over us is doing it for money is nuts

There are plenty of reasons to play for clubs

Hawks - success, huge crowds, Clarkson
Richmond - recent success, good list, huge crowds
Pies - Anzac day, huge crowds, finals this year

I hate that whenever anyone chooses another club they are instantly money hungry scum bags!

Mintcans?

No purely money related that one

Does anyone else find the "a couple of clubs" part interesting? Doesn't sound like it is only Hawthorn in the race by that quote, so we could still be well in the race for Scully.

Posturing becomes such the in-word during the trade period.....

Imagine Balme posturing over the plate of Monte Carlos.... "I've had 6.... do I risk a 7th one before afternoon tea?"

 

[U2tigers]

Good on Scully if he is choosing to go to a club for more money. If he can get it then why wouldn't he.

His football life is limited, set oneself up whilst you can I reckon.

 

[bananatigz]

Might also mean Scully is interested in us, but we might not be able to match what Hawthorn are offering.

Just wait until someone cracks open the Tim Tams.
