Is it just me or are we shedding a lot of players at the moment?

So far we've lost Krakouer, Monfries, Trengove and Impey with Young, Lobbe and Ah Chee heavily rumoured to be following them out the door. That is before any delistings.

In return we've got Rockliff and the possibility of Watts and/or Motlop.

And we've got no first round picks in what is supposedly a shallow draft. I hope Costanza knows what's he's doing here.
Any news on what we are doing with Jesse Palmer?

Yep I've raised this multiple times. Our depth is going to take a huge hit.
You can also see that's why we bothered with the pick 67 to 61 upgrade because we know we'll actually be using that 61 pick.

Stupid point of view.

If you can't divine the difference between banter and the evil machinations you seem to be imagining, I'm not sure how you're getting through life.
I am glad you get pleasure out of making things personal. I am getting through life just fine, you must be happy being a keyboard warrior shooting down every other opinion that doesnt agree with the mainstream one.

Yes, different point of view.
Impey was always leaving to go back to Melbourne. Jackson was just trying to get him to the Dogs - that was the decision he said that Jarman had to make.

It actually shows that Trengove doesn't have as much influence over Impey as he thinks he does that Jarman went to Hawthorn instead.

Turn it up. You're the one picking malice out of something completely innocent for no ******* reason. Get down off your cross.

Yeah i would agree with that, but Trengove is like family to him though, i thought it was not a coincidence that Impey leaving with one year left on his contract.

Dude, he's going back to Melbourne to be with his real family. Trengove was simply a surrogate father to look after him while he was at Port.

Or ya know, maybe the Dogs didn't want Impey?

It’s starting to annoy me a bit. I’m generally not the bedwetting type, but we’ve now had 7 days of free agency and 4 days of trade week. I understand that it can take a while to get deals done, but how do you get this far without even nominating a club?
To be fair, Rockliff was in talks with us months ago so had a fair bit of time to consider this. From what I've read Watts only found out about his situation during his exit interview, so we likely would have initiated contact only a week or so ago. He seems like he's been in his comfort zone bubble his whole life, so it's probably one of the first major life decisions he's actually had to make for himself.
