Jesus this place gets depressing at trade time.
I think I'd prefer our ITK posters kept quiet on any under the radar moves we are trying to make.
The amount of leaks from our club is disconcerting, and we wonder why the media have a field day with us.
I must have missed the field day.

In all seriousness I do believe there is a big fish. However, announcing it before the Papley and Martin trades are announced would take those trades away.

The club is going to get those deals done - hopefully sooner rather than later - and then will have the player announce his request to Carlton and the club will offer the "best of the rest" to get it done.
 
Wonder when the first official trade will happen, not just for us but for any club!

When SOS lets Reid out of his dungeon and all 18 list managers can get involved in the trade period.
 
The pleasure I'm getting out of this is thinking just how hard these fu** bats on trade radio are having to work to come up with any content.

Most days I think "Gee, it'd be a pretty sweet gig getting paid to just talk about footy".

That's usually followed by the realisation "You know what, work is paying me right now and I'm on BF talking footy..."

Then there's those glorious few days when I get to laugh at "serious journalists" having to humour all the peanuts that call up with ridiculous trade scenarios, or vague requests for information that's been covered 16 times in the last 2 hours.

"Long time listener, love the show, just wondering what you reckon Daniher is worth?"

Long time listener? Holy shit, as a long time listener you'd have been subjected to 5 hours per day of what Daniher is worth for the last week, and after sitting on hold for 30 mins to ask your question, that's all you could think of? Don't reckon you could pay me enough to front up each day and take calls from these idiots. I'd have snapped and told one of them to go back to licking windows.

Possibly but how big a fish can they be if we aren't willing to give up the possibility of Martin or Papley to get them? You don't land a "big fish" with "the best of the rest".

I also think that's how it has to be done.

Trade for Papley and Martin, ensuring we keep a 1st round pick available.

Then get the big fish (if there is one) to request a trade.

Have to get the deals done for guys who have already committed. Terrible look to pull out on them for someone else.

Then try reel in the big one... "we've got a first round pick and change " take it or leave it.

I think it's completely plausible. We had big bucks set aside for Cogs. An elite player could certainly be thinking "Blues are on the way up and I want some of that cheddar cheese"

I don’t know how they don’t lose it, I’d be going “play the tape from the last time someone asked”

Hold on I’ll ring up and say “love the show, long time listener, just wondering what do you think Papley, Daniher, Martin, Brad Hill, Jack Steven & Kelly are worth?”
