Why is it that as soon as we hear a rumour we all get excited, but then a club comes out and squanders the rumour and we all believe that?

I'm sure Geelong did that when Gary was in limbo, same as Hawthorn and Franklin, Sydney and Mumford, Adelaide and Tippett, St.Kilda and Goddard.

I don't believe all rumours, just like I don't always believe clubs when they try to put rumours to bed. It's all nothing until trade week ends the deals are done (or not).

Petracca.

I can see the logic, but we don't have the bargaining tools outside of someone like Reid/Sidebottom.

Also, just a thought.

Since 5-15 are apparently very even this year, has anyone given thought to trading down to a lower first round pick and a ready made player? Lonergan + 14 with GCS for example (just off the top of my head).
