Your kidding me, the dogs think they're a certainty for top 4 and us a certainty bottom 4, very speculative, arrogant from their side and someone from our side is very smooth.
Good trading. Even funnier if they have a slump and we Finnish above them.

Not so much that, they are banking father-son points. Of course it would be fantastic if our draft spots went up as a result, but it seems a risk both sides are happy to take. And we get a player we were always keen on.

They're got a lot of FS picks. Who are they next year?

There can be only one...
I feel good this trade period, only had the nerve to tune into Trade Bullshit Radio for 5 minutes during this marathon and caught the Lewis post rat-fleeing-the-sinking-ship interview, which was hilarious. I think listening to that shit just aggravated me during previous years.

Geez if we end up with Ahern, Hrovat, Hoskin-Elliot and Pickett by the end of trade eon for what is effectively peanuts, while retaining pick 11 then we will have done ridiculously well. Even made out like bandits.

Imagine all that and then we get a slider like Petrevski-Seton (who, as I understand, is most like the player that we need).

That's what I call a reset with elite talent.

I'm really disappointed we haven't traded in 3-4 more fringe types from other clubs, as I need some shiny new toys to keep me occupied until the draft. I can worry about them making it harder for the likes of Mountford, Clarke, Hibberd etc to get senior footy later because f*cking do something Joyce.
To be fair to Hrovat he is only 22.33 yo and has had some injury concerns that have held him back a little thus far.

If we don't do something amazing in the next off-season we have sacrificed another decade.

That's 30 years without a flag.

A reset is not hoping picks 43 and 61 become megastars now that they will be given a chance.

Trade Radio is absolute garbage (apart from Cal Twomey's insights into draft prospects).

What i can gather from the Early Trade:

- Essendon are assembling the greatest list in history
- Adelaide are being robbed somehow
- Cam Luke suffers from verbal diahrea

What i can gather from the Late Trade:

- Richmond are shit
- North are shit
- Terry Wallace is in possession of a trophy

Firstly, i really don't mind the slack and i definitely don't take it personally, to be fair it's probably deserving due to generating a "false sense of hope" which i apologise for doing. Anyway in regards to the "big fish" i've never once stated that we would land this player, only stated that we are making a play. You often hear that when teams land a big name player, the discussions have been in the works for 6-12 months in advance. It was never likely to happen this trade period, but never the less, we have shown our interest and have made it clear that we want this player out our club which could go a long way to help landing him next year. Next year "should" be a much easier year to try and lure this player due to probably obvious reasons. I'm sure you may be able to narrow down who the player actually is based of what i have already said.

School kid out,

And that Damo gives Terry rimjobs daily.

It's sickening.

We just need him gone. He's not worth anything so we should just cut our losses and let him go for a nothing pick. If they pay half his wage and we open up a list spot then we win. If he turns it around and becomes a player well good luck to him.

I know I have said this a few times but, jeebus Wallace gets fellated as an list expert. Considering his past record I think the praise could be toned down a whole lot.

I actually really like Kane Corners, minus his observations on our list of course because there isn't anyone who has a clue about us.

It's as if we are being promoted from another league and no one has watched us play.

I heard one of the clowns say we need to bring in that fraud Vardy to replace Petrie. Not a single mention of the 3 forwards we have that average 2 goals a game.
