I just checked in on this thread and it has moved on about 25 pages in two days (approx 500 posts). :fearscream:

Apart from Wilkie turning us down and Budarick requesting a trade to us have I missed anything of importance/substance?
While this is damaging to the pshyche, its still infinitely better than huffing trade radio for days on end.

Let us have our fun.
 
I'm really happy Jamarra's meeting went well, GC will pick up a gun forward for nothing & we'll get shafted again by an AFL pet. ****ing bullshit.

well yeah, but JUH was a free hit anyway. I can take an easy come, easy go attitude to that.

Im much more concerned about Sanders - we identified him as a talent so good it was worth paying a lot for, and taking on the (high) risk of him going to tassie.

Im not giving up on the kid but he doesn't seem to have the defensive killer instinct to hunt the ball at all costs. Not saying he doesn't tackle, but he just doesn't seem to type to want to destroy the opposition when he has the chance defensively. Also noticed his man spreads quite a bit out of packs while he seems to get caught ball watching.

He's still a boy though, so give him time.

Lets all so remember not every top 10 pick becomes a superstar. Apparently he gets praise for his work effort at training which is natural and can't be taught so it might just mean with a new game plan he gets told the right act to tighten up defensively and become more aggressive around the ball.

Dev Robertson also turned us down. Butts probably not going anywhere. Jamarra firming for Gold Coast. That's about it I think.

No probs there. Happy for you to have fun!

It's just that reading 500 posts of pre-trade speculation isn't my idea of fun. And I'm pretty busy right now. So I was hoping for a quick synopsis (yeah, lazy of me, I know :) ).

I'll check in again in a couple of days if that's OK.

Thanks! :thumbsupemoji:

At least we aren’t losing anyone material this year (no JUH doesn’t count he’s added zero to our team for over a year). It’s a low bar I realise but reading all the B/S about how Geelong/Brisbane whatever held all the cards and wouldn’t want to overpay for Smith/Dunkley blah blah blah was just terrible for the mental health. Particularly when it was all such utter crap. Hope we get a couple if decent role-players in and we deep dive our game plan. We have a decent core and I’m happy to wait 12 months and fire our shot at Butters.

Free hit? We destroyed our draft hand for him.
 
Anyone having a whinge about the compo shouldn’t blame the AFL, they should be blaming the Saints for paying way overs for a C grader

I’m still blaming the AFL. Why do the other 16 teams have to pay for Carlton losing a player

Carlton would be hugely unlikely to get pick 19 in a trade for him. Oscar Allen situation is the same, clubs are actually in the position that they’d prefer the player to leave because they get better compensation. Absolutely broken system
