Are you referring to the guy who totalled all those parked cars in Middle Park a couple of years ago ? Hunter ?
Parking around Moorabbin isn't so bad so maybe it works ?


You'd imagine so. He's obviously out of favour there. he's a bit Crouchy to me. He's a good solid player but then he's like the stand that holds up their diamonds too I guess. Maybe out of the shadow of their guns he'll shine too. Otherwise it's another go at extracting Josh Dunkley. Is he a FA this year?
 
My word is that a different Bulldog midfielder who would suit us to the ground may well be gettable. Name is not Bont, Mcrea, Smith, or Libba

Someone who sounds like they got dropped into a tank of water at a fun fair?
 
Rhylee West might be a bit of a Lipinski. Runner up in the Liston trophy and his dad is fuming that his career is being mismanaged as a medical sub.Way behind in one of the best midfields in footy.
At the right price though which was the lipinski argument from memory with bulldogs supporters coming on and talking him up. Anyway we need to leave no stone unturned to add the right pieces to this list. Imo using our high draft picks is a must though they should be untouchable.

No the guy the Bombers (?) got him to ask for a trade to them and then wouldn't trade with the Dogs. he had two years left on his contract. OOC at end of year.
McRea is getting a huge increase and this guy might get poached.
Isn’t the story going around that he’s of to one of the SA teams, his partner has signed to play netball and he’s keen to follow.

Dunkley OOC this year according to peeps on here. Not sure about free agency status. Maybe offer up Hayes for him ? They like our tails.

I'd be happy to trade 2 firsts or a combination of first second , for a better first , if it meant getting the right player.
But if we did i'd be chewing my fingers off until he played well, be worried that we'd got someone vanilla. If we do that we need to nail it.

Fremantle did it with our pick 10 to get the Serong pick.
Melbourne did it nicely , to get Oliver ( and could just as easily have got Parish ).

I can't help feeling that if it was StKilda trying that tactic we'd have traded our Coffield and Clark picks so we could get Paddy Dow.

Do the Josh Bruce and offer them pick 56 or what ever it was.

I still don't get that .
We shopped Bruce around ...did we NEED to trade him?
Since when does a key forward with his ability trade for so little.

It's like ....
"Maaaate....how much for the Navara".
"I wouldn't mind $40 000".
"Well i really wanted a Hilux".
"I've got a new Hilux but i'm not selling it , just the Navara "
" I'll take it off your hands for $20 000".
" well......its still a good ute, but OK. "

It never made sense to trade a contracted key for peanuts. He wanted to shift after being offered plenty and they clearly rated him given the offer. The only piece of that puzzle that didn’t make sense is what we accepted and despite the various explanations of us needing a pick etc it still doesn’t.

Feels like over the last few years we've been keen to be seen as "getting deals done", the anti-Dodoro, but that's definitely cost us.

Really... not to belittle Netball, but that's like moving interstate because your kid will get more Auskick games.

Ok it is to belittle Netball. Its nowhere near the profile or the money of AFL.
But sheesh , what length contract is she supposed to have?

I guess its a bit like the Treloar situation but it seems like the tail is wagging the dog, or are the AFL boys actually the WAG's these days.

It's over.

Maybe the men just want to be supportive in a way that seems unfamiliar.
 
Yeah could make the argument that he'll earn about the same wherever he plays, but for her the choice of club could be huge.

OK but i wouldn't be wanting a club to give up anything at all in trade for a player in that category.
Not because she isn't deserving of it.
Simply out of club interest, high risk to want to go somewhere else in a year or two.

And your point about earnings may not be valid.
It seems fairly regulated at the top level.

Yeah no idea about netball earnings, just that as a smaller market it would presumably be harder.

McRea signed on for 5 years today
