GWS are though.

 

[06Premiers]

This messy situation could easily be avoided if the FA period didn't overlap with trade period.

Obvious solution to a problem of the AFL's own creation, so won't happen.

 

[The Gtrain]

Geelong not keen on Clayton Oliver. Interesting

Clayton and Bailey would be some combo, on and off the field

 

[new breed]

Theres too much stink with the Starc deal. Club should just walk away from it and do the Allen deal in isolation.

Especially with the concussion issue , the AFL is still very much a contact sport .

.

I think their list boss was a bit offended.

 

[In The Rod We Trust]

Twomey: what's Starc worth?
Brisbane list kent: A LOT.
(Didn't make that up, it's what he really said)

If he is worth a lot then why don't they match and say no to a trade

At least Eagles been clear that Oscar was worth X and nothing more, hence the pick 2 incoming. I still think if we were top 8 material then we still wouldn't be matching Brisbane's contract.

 

[Farang83150]

Apparently having a boat is a very Sydney thing.

Did he say Saints F2 not on the table yet for Aleer?

 

[MaxHunt]

Especially with the concussion issue , the AFL is still very much a contact sport .

100%. Look at Trainor in the ND last year. On talent should have gone top 10. Dropped to 21.

 

[Obeanie1]

Geelong not keen on Clayton Oliver. Interesting

They ran out of pubs and land?

Or maybe the boys down that way don't want to share?

If the Cats aren't interested......stay away.

He will end up at Collingwood with Dees paying half his contract.. Just wait

 

[ghostbat12]

Lions list manager on trade radio now.

Dickhead literally said waiting on Starcevich deal before we lodge. What a campaigner.

only because thats only hand they have.

wait till FA closes, then trade for Starc. If no band 2 because of Starc, match Allen and bit on Annable pick 1. Even with pick 23, Brisbane are getting way more than they would and are trying to hurt us because of our circumstances unrelated to Brisbane. Doing this in itself should invite bid on Annabel. This is hand we should go with, irrespective what we want to do.

Lions have much more to lose here than we do. they are probably thinking our list manager is a dumbass (and they would be right).

 

[quackish]

There’s precisely 0 chance we walk away from a starc trade. Get serious gents. He nominated us.
The club is starved for good players.
A deal will happen whether we love it or not

 

[Chris_6678]

If i was Allen id be pissed about the Lions being difficult because him becoming a Lion is a simple FA and should be done straight away.

 

[The Gtrain]

Great to see Essendon stay firm on Merrett, whilst i'm not sure he stays, at least they are trying to draw a line in the sand on contracts and their worth.

, haven’t spoken to us yet apparently.

GWS were saying that StK had basically offered a junk pick for Aleer, and they were firm on it’d be a future and usable - basically a F2.

Gubby Allen is such a grub

 

[Farang83150]

Gubby Allen is such a grub

Sounds like his head's a very long way up his own fwd pass.

 

[Bender_]

Yep totally. Both he and Starcevich should be easy deals done in good faith. Brisbane can f*ck right off as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Mop]

Tim Lamb at Melbourne gave away nothing. Seemed really pissed off that Judd McVee was leaving

Is it just Tom Lamb wearing a Groucho Marx disguise?

 

[ghostbat12]

On trump theme, if Clark given in, he shall always be known as CACO. Clark always chickens out.

Sack CACO.

 

[twce13]

Brisbane have a points crisis and are trying to act like these players are worth much more than they are. Sadly Clarke prob falls for it lol

 

[Dylan82]

Yep we got ourselves in a mess last year with relying on the trade of TB to get the Baker deal done, Hawks knew it and leveraged it.

We have somehow done it to ourselves again. Nudged Oscar to get pick 2 and got tied up on a FA with a player from the same club.

Need to work through a bit now instead of it being straight forward.

Pretty much sums it up.

West Coast continues to think it is somehow smarter than the rest of the competition, when all it is doing is telegraphing its intentions, making it so very easy for opponents to take advantage.


The club should never have showed any public commitment or interest in B.Starcevich until all dealings concerning O.Allen free agency were concluded.

 

[archiemoses]

Cant wait for Matt Clarke to shit the bed again
