You're sounding like dead horse.
No he's not. He was given some information and he's passed it on, clearly concisely and without any ambiguity. Doesn't matter if it ends up being true, he's sharing what he was told for others to do with it what they will.

I dont agree much with Lloyd but he is spot on when he says the Suns are the worst list in AFL history.

They could be in for some frightful beatings next year.
Thing is they dont have blind dead zombie supporters like Carlton that will believe any shit the Club spins out.

We might end up seeing sub 10k supporters turn up to a game regularly at Metricon.

Unfortunatly that's all the info I got. Rankine isnt a high priority for us. But yeah, baffles me really. He has all the talent, we have some great mentor types at the club. It doesnt make a whole heap of sense but they are the ones doing the legwork and know best
When his instagram was posted on here a while back I remember thinking that it didnt really scream the type of player we like.

Not saying its right or wrong, and this is all superficial based off just a couple of posts, but thats the vibe I got.

(Said posts seem to have been deleted, so maybe theres something to it)

Consider it goodwill. We’re unlikely to use either 68 or 72, whereas whatever we give them will be an active pick.

Other than to be difficult, no reason to not give them 68. Don’t it would carry much currency for any other deals.
That would make sense, if we hadn't traded specifically to get #68 only 2 hours before doing the Stengle deal. There has to be a reason why we needed both 68 & 72, presumably another pick swap in the offing. We just don't have enough information to see the bigger picture right now.

Sorry mate, cant give much away, just that it's generally reliable. Who knows what happens man, things change, but you would think most of the draft preferences would be locked in, now just down to who's available.
Not calling you a liar, but you said you were told that there would be a “flurry of activity” yesterday.

Yesterday was boring as batshit.

He's requested a trade back to us, after his rookie contract is up and we could technically get him as a DFA in the draft. Didnt use 72, so there's probably something else in the works at this stage. It's just an odd process for such a nothing trade, that's all.
Yeah I guess. Richmond had a contract in front of him for 2 years so they must rate him. They didn’t have any intention of delisting him .

Dont remember seeing them myself. Who knows. I dont want to speculate about off field issues, hes young and it's probably not fair. But like it's been mentioned, we have to back in the recruitment team to make the right call

TBH we dont have enough information to see the bigger picture till the 2019 season.

Remember it was this time last year that Port got an A+ for their "Holy Trinity" in "Whats, Slops and Rocks". Once the season started to play out we got to see first hand how bad that decision was, which caused massive collateral damage with them losing players this month now.

Polec is better than all those 3 players.

Wingard when in form is also better than all those 3 players.

Its been a massive Power choke.

GC definitely selected the wrong mature players to mentor the younger players, so that's a list selection problem.
see Ablett, Gary Jr

An amazing player and a terrible captain & leader

It wasnt anything bad, just the vibe it gave off.

I reckon he will end up rocking a couple of sleeves, whereas we perfer the short back and sides types.

I've heard people say it mate and I was skeptical, but had it confirmed today. Unfortunately it is the case. I dont know what the issue is, but crows aren't crazy about him. Take it or leave it
Well I've had the opposite confirmed, so there ya go.
