Who could blame JOM? He can move to a club, get paid a fortune and belt blokes in the face and never get reported for it!

Pretty sure Billings folks are Essendon Coteries and as for Ross, well we all know where his loyalties/family ties lie.
Pretty sure Seb went for the Hawks growing up... Yes I know his uncle is Timmy but out Horsham way there are plenty of Hawkers too.

You have to understand Carlton were into Marchbank really early.

His management did their due diligence and spoke to other clubs as well but Carlton were keen on him the first and really showed his management where they see him playing and really did the most work on him.

It's not so much us not being attractive in this case but it was more Carlton showing interest.
Yes and it applies to Steele

Recently we were told that the Saints were into 13-14 players. With Marchbank and Laverde out of the way I wonder who the others are? Laverde may not have been amongst the 13-14 even.

And I wonder how much longer the Silvani connection with GWS will last for.

Bruce was a steal....

.....but....

Nobody else wanted Membrey or Weller. Roberton was coming home to Frankston regardless if a club picked him up or not.

Carlisle had a few massive asterixs against his name, which have cost us dearly twice already and he hasn't even pulled the jumper on yet.

Longer wanted to go to Hawthorn and Freeman is a very well paid cripple.

Connors played a few people. More than likely Jaxons was on the end on one of those.
Did everything for his client and probably got a bigger pay packet for him. At the end of the day, we would've loved him, but fair play to Essendon and we move onto the next target. No 'must gets' for us this year, ala Carlisle, but plenty of handy players we'll try and snag.

All good, thought the post I quoted was wall to wall negativity.

As for your question. Not slitting my wrists over a couple of B graders with potential

Membrey
Roberton
Bruce
Hickey
Weller.

Hardly heard of any of them. Still six week to end of trade time.
Marchbank always a Carlton recruit
Lavarde was a long shot that I was not sure on considering the money we offered.

I was PM'ed a month back. I am very comfortable with what we are aiming at.

Can you pleeeeeeease PM me what you've heard joff? I'll be a vault as always!!

Thats why you dont work in list management. Next year the draft is much, much better than this year
That's what they say every year. And next year we hope to finish higher than this year, even if we finish 9th again it's still a pick upgrade. We could get both Taranto and Scrimshaw, I'm sure if we were to get one of them next year we'd be cheering. And they will be a year older.

Guys Im not PM anything. My info was non specific and a while back.

I was just replying to a post about Lavarde and Marchbank.

MG Bs and stav have posted about whst the recruiters are doing.

I just dont see what the angst is about a couple of kids with potential when trade time is six weeks from complete.
