Cuttle fish would be handy.

 

[bluemahogany]

Why would they even want Martin? He's precisely the sort of player they do not need.

Hasn't stopped Dodoro before

 

[HBF]

If I’m Essendon, I’m taking the best deal for Daniher this season.

-free agent next year
-11 games in 2 years
-at least some concern re: his OP
-doesn’t want to be there
-his worth dramatically drops if he misses most of this season with injury

Tough call letting go of a key forward though.

If they end up getting 2 first rounders for JD they are dead set making out like bandits

I just emailed a client instead of my brother saying this:
Bruz OR just said martin will be done first.
I am screwed

 

[The Flying Doormat]

Is this big fish is more of a red herring? I want names. Now. tencentpiece, Arr0w, carlton09, RoyalBlues, TheRedPill and Ockhams razor, I'm looking at you

If people still have a vision of a serious player coming to us, then it can only come about via a couple of means -

1. No Papley - That would be embarrassing asking someone to nominate you and then not going ahead with the deal/
2. Players have to be involved.

You can attain a good young player via next years first alone, but you're not going to get a game changer with that sort of currency.
So if one wants to follow this 'big fish' line, one has to accept that it won't happen for relative peanuts.

 

[Nori]

Isn't that how rumors work though?

95% gossip and bulls**t and 5% on the money?

Some are well intentioned and others are for getting a rise.

Screw that, I want Nat Fyfe and Dustin Martin for a third round pick and Cam Polson, and Freo and Richmond need to pay 50% of their salaries.

Depends how 'serious' though.
You could potentially get a very good player for a future 1st.

Too old, do not want.

I have always felt as if, someone will be traded anyway.. surely Gold Coast don't really need more picks?

Yep, I mentioned a couple of players about a 140 pages back.
Didn't go down to well with the natives.
At some time over the next few seasons, we will loose some youngsters with talent, no chance we hold onto all of them.
We need to face reality.

SOS meet with Sydney this morning over Papley deal. Anyone know what happened.

No one said it was a young player.

More likely a player a year or two away from free agency, where they are open to a move, their club reckons our first next year will be better than the compensation offered and as a mature player commands a salary that cleared off their books, opens a path for other players to come in.

as long as we dont loose them for nothing, and they are replaced with relative value

Just worry about getting Daniher done, Adrian.

 

[Hands On]

Sounds a whole lot like Grundy, but you'd have to assume we'd be giving up 2x first rounders, and probably a bit more.

If we wiped our draft hand, but walked away with Grundy, Martin and Betts - how would we feel folks?

Plowman, Jones, Weitering
Docherty, Marchbank, SPS
Setterfield, Curnow, Walsh
Grundy, Cripps, Murphy
Martin, Curnow, Cuningham
Betts, McKay, McGovern
I/C: Simpson, Newman, Silvagni, Fisher
EMG from: Gibbons, Dow, O'Brien, Stocker, Kennedy, Williamson

I personally cant see it being any player where we would have to give significant picks for. it will railroad commitments we have made to other players. If it is anyone it may be Gaff if he has the rumored 12 month out clause in his contract. the only spanner in the works wold be eagles pushing for him t go to cats, to help facilitate the Kelly deal.

Depends if they can get his body right or not. They get him healthy then he'll be a handful on the SCG, pinging goals from the centre square.

The Cats wouldn't have the coin we have available though to convince him to head to the Cattery.

 

[slashin_velvet]

Daniher is two firsts and Patton is ????

WTF AFL teams. Asleep at the wheel.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Brisbane Lions have offered Hawthorn free agent Grant Birchall a one-year deal.

They are really fond of aging Hawthorn defenders?

I think the Patton value declined with every ACL reco.

 

[slashin_velvet]

Reckon he'll be solid value for money when compared to Daniher. At least Patton's issues are know and understood....Daniher is all over the shop

GWS desperately need to free cap space and Patton has done how many ACLs?

The other thing to consider is while Joey D may see two 1sts go to *, those 1sts may not end up being 5 & 9 and there also may be something significant coming back to Sydney like multiple 2nds or other pick upgrades.
