Had a listen to Dan Richardson.
I'm confident the Caddy deal will go through.
Lids will leave, most likely to GWS.
Nankervis will be a tiger.

I honestly think we are doing a lot better this trade period than people think.
Yeh if all those deals go through we will have one of the best in the comp.
Freo and Saints have probably had the best, but we would be just after them

This will end up a good trade period if we offload Lids for a late first, KEEP that pick, and then get Caddy for 24 or 27. That will offset paying overs for Prestia.

If we offload Lids for a late first and then TRADE that late first for Caddy, we suck.
The initial deal would have been Caddy for Deledio which I think most were happy with.
It's essentially the same thing.

lol this guy is a ******* clown. blames the fans that we wont accept a rebuild. then when 80% say keep pick 6 and go through the draft they give it away.
80% of fans who actually responded to 1 poll on 1 site*. Fans that's all have been reading how 6 is too valuable to give up for the past week?
How many votes did that get? 270? But you think it speaks for the 70,000 members and then all the supporters that aren't members?
Give me a break.

overall thats a win
I will never get over our Lord and Saviour's departure. It will take months, years, decades, for my pain over the loss of Sideshow Bob II to subside.

Yeah, nah.

I reckon we can get a late first from GWS + a fringe player (Barrett, WHE, Reid) if we agree to pay some of Lids' salary. Huddo says they're stuffed at the moment and will struggle to fit Lids in without offloading something significant.

The caddy stuff is odd, it only came up because of the lids thing but now we might get him even is lids goes to Sydney. There's more to this I reckon.
Caddy unhappy with Geelol

i dont see how we get that deal done. he will stay

To my way of thinking the 'brains trust' reckon we have a genuinely good squad, but one that is unbalanced. We need inside grunt because 1) we have very little and just need more contested ball, and 2) this will free up Cotch and Dusty (to some extent). So we get Dion and go for Caddy. Hope Conca stays fit, and if Yaz/Short/Markov/McIntosh can play back then we free up Vlas as well. = contested depth.

3 talls hasn't worked, and TV was mentally out in 2015. So losing him for a second rounder means we don't lose much as we still have 2 KPFs, and he added nothing much. Pity. This either gets us a decent pick in a deep draft (top 30) or gets us Caddy. So win.

Nankervis could work well if he can play in a tag team with Hammer. What I understand is that Nanks is not a tap ruckman really, but good around the ground and adds grunt. Once again adding grunt and depth.

So, if Yaz comes back and the young speedsters come on then we have that run and carry we've been so lacking for years.

Our trading and development freeing players up, should mean we have genuine depth and quality inside.

Ruck depth improved and perhaps more smash and hammer grunt.

Introduce an attacking game plan re the VFL team and we might see a totally changed Tiger team next year. For once we might have a good spine, with depth and a nice balance of talent inside and outside.

A big gamble that if this is all correct (my thought above) then we can have a shot at the whole deal.

That we don't seem bothered about losing Lids either means we reckon he is on the slide, he is a disruptive influence, or we're idiots. Take your pick.
