I was thinking just the same thing this morning.
What a s**t bunch of players to spend a big chunk of your sc on.

Stephen Hill was a gun
Ellis a decent player too (he's a bust though because he's added on 75kg since retiring and busted a few buttons on one of his shirts recently).

Not nailed at all.
So much written about this, but it's really very simple.
Essendon offer more to gresh to trigger band one as a favor to us.
As a return favor, we pick up shiels contract for a token pick so their cap is freed up.
Why would they give up another first round pick for us...
That's what makes the most sense. But the article is suggesting we trade that compensation back to ess for shiel
If it were me and we wanted to be fully ruthless I would say yes do it then refuse to trade for shiel

Damn we need free agency and trade period to begin ASAP. Not sure if some of the relationships will be able to be mended come trade period if it continues like this for 3 weeks

You honestly think that? He had a mare of a last quarter. Almost lost it for Carlton with his dodgy kicking and got caught holding the ball 3 times.
I don't rate Walsh at all, he's basically a little bit better version of Ryan byrnes

I'm going to start a sen rumour about the saints and trade. Use my personal phone and my work phone and see if they run with it.
Anyone got an interesting one they think would get a nibble?
Might run with nwm to Adelaide in straight swap for Rachelle

Maybe wrong choice of words.
More beneficial would probably be better.
If they can trade to get first round picks next year and a multitude of seconds and third rounders this year (potentially which we will have due to players leaving) then they get to use first round picks (albeit a year...
But don't the rules work that if the bid comes before your pick, then you're next pick gets automatically used. I.e. if a bid comes at 5 then pick 10 would be used to in points. And same again if the next nga bid comes before 15.
It would be much safer for them to trade into next year's first...
Most measured take I've seen so far.
My guess is it will be 32 and a future third or a trade up into the mid 20s

You know my favorite thing about Henry nominating us is. It's that we had zero leaks about us being the front runner etc. Other clubs (like Hawthorn) are beating their chests and we just quietly got the job done. I'm hoping that means there are more irons in the fire for other deals this year...
Alright gents
Season has come to an end. A little disappointing finish but we went further than pretty much everyone expected. A good player has nominated us and a whole bunch of our key players are young.
Hopefully we continue to grow. Our window is in 2-4 years.
