Look I will never convince you otherwise, so I'm not even going to try.
True ;)

That said, I don't think there was actually much wrong with what we did - every club does the same.

We were just stupid enough to try and cover it up and then get caught, and then cowardly enough that we didn't cause a massive issue of it and kick up a huge fuss about the grossly excessive sanctions we received.

I hope they give up something like they did for Jed Anderson. At least JL has played more than a couple games!
Lyons is twice the player Anderson is or will ever be. Hawks got away with highway robbery. No chance of getting a hold of Norths first. Births second actually wouldn't be a good.

Lyons is worth 15-20 - if we can't get that, we shouldn't even consider trading him.

That said, based on our apparent contract offer, we'll accept pick #69.

Be surprised. Wasn't Cloke a contracted player at Collingwood and he is going to the Bulldogs. Maybe you will say both he and Collingwood tore up the contract for next year but he is a contracted player!
Agree, but the point is that even when it's not our club it's easily recalled because it's a rarity.

Hmmm I was 50/50 on Rockliff, but if Richmond aren't interested then I'd say we should go all in on him.

Honestly, Richmond's recruiting is so completely and utterly rooted that you could do worse than base your entire strategy around just doing the opposite of what they're doing.
Re-employing former assistant coaches is the highest priority.

I HATE the red carpet. It continues this demeaning "ranking" behaviour (again, from both sides). That the women fall over themselves to be seen on it in barely anything, is another topic again. Brownlow night should be about the players... the fairest and best (at football). I saw a terrific interview by a feminazi (not that I like feminazi's, just that I liked her interviews) - she was asking the partners what their latest career challenge was. No mention of who dressed them or how long it took them to get ready.

The world is just so fricking "hollywood" shallow, it's sad.
Didn't everyone love that rotisserie contraption they did one year? Whoever thought that up was surely having a laugh.

Anywho, we're visual animals. It is just the way it is. In one aspect, society is far better behaved now even though the focus is on glamour, dresses, and instagram followers. Just imagine if this technology was available in the 60's, 70's or 80's. People would be horrified at the sort of commentary that would have been flung about.

But it's definitely part of a bigger picture

So we are apparently not playing thommo , Lyons gone and CEY maybe as well

And we've got a thin midfield already

Mmm...

With respect to you and your relationships Jenn, I doubt you would always be told the full story - especially if that story makes the person telling it either complicit in the activity; or incomprehensibly negligent in their position.
And that's fair enough too. I was probably not thinking it at the time, but in hindsight know I only got to hear two versions of different events. There's no doubt Trigg stuffed up. But he's not the horrendous incompetent many make him out to be.

Mark Bickley would be keen.

Speaking of assistants, did anything ever come from those rumblings a while back about Peter Sumich coming across to the Crows? Our season has been over for several weeks now but haven't really seen too many moves happening on the coaching front.

I thought he was coming although I have no idea. It was speculated on Fiveaa.

We are poker players these days. Don't give anything away.

A first rounder ?? I like your optimism but I can't see JL being worth that. If we ended up with a pick in the mid 20s we would have done a very good deal.
