s**t. It's happened. Motlop has announced his intention to announce his intention sometime during the FA period.

It's precisely when these posts start filling the forum that you truly know the trade period has jumped the shark. My brain hurts.

I hate this thread, and I hate myself more for even looking at it.

The best course of action is to wait for an email from the club.

Or shitpost, shitposting is quite fun.

The crows seem more bullish in securing Motlops services.

No. We've been after him for months and put in all the hard work to show we value him as a player. The crows s**t themselves as they weren't prepared for Cameron to leave and are scrambling for a replacement.

Can we start petition to have a thread that is locked for all discussion but mods posting the latest rumours from AW/ZW and official news. And then have a seperate dedicated shitpost thread?

 

[Interstater]

Something for those of you eagerly waiting on decisions.

It seems so long ago but was Cripps on AA last night?

I heard Bickley this morning say that he was hearing Port have a few trade balls in the air (apart from Motlop and Watts) and they were going to try and get Cripps or Davies on tonight.

My personal view is that if Port are shuffling and trading in 4th round picks, they are either going to use them as makeweights or need them because they expect to at least lose a second round pick.

If this thread had the same 4 adverts that played over and over and over again for 11 hours straight id still read it.

We need a splitter thread called "The Trading Post with Zakk and Arse" for all the actual news.

Hey man, that's heading right out of the comfort zone

 

[bomberclifford]

I've actually got a fair but of work done this morning.

They won't mess with you because they can tell by the way you use your walk, you're a woman's man, no time to talk. Music loud and women warm, you've been kicked around since you were born.

Or we could just do some actual work.

Nah.

Still trying to get my head around that Devon Smith trade and how well Essendon did out of it. Sometimes you see a middling first rounder swapped for two second rounders as a picks only trade. It appears GWS have thrown in Devon Smith as some kind of sweetener to that. Points score has Smith valued around pick 50 there, which is ludicrous.

Throws a spanner in the works of many other deals as well. GC and WB would both have been negotiating for that pick 11, but how could they compete with that kind of offer? Also means that Essendon don't really need another second rounder now, so Francis might be off the table.

It was a good pick swap for Essendon but losing pick 11 in the Smith trade has made it a lot more difficult to acquire both Stringer and Saad.
