Note his last comment.

The two-time premiership player says the Tigers are "working hard behind the scenes" to bring in reinforcements to Punt Road.

Sounds like we are working on something ... maybe Lynch coming for our 2 first rounders and next years 1st rounder has legs. It would be a shrewd plan on the part of Gold Coast to manipulate us out of 3 first rounders considering they may lose him in 12 months anyway.

We should be stoic in our resistance but I fear they may be too clever for us ... lets hope so ^^

17 this year and next years first. Wouldn't give up 3 first rounders for Lynch.

Lynch comment is tongue in cheek, (though I could live with it, after all we don't really need any top up players) what I find interesting is that we seem to be working on 'something' in the background. Its funny if they pick up someone I will be excited ... if they pick up nobody I will be excited too figuring there was nobody available who was going to help us.

 

[Dr Tigris]

Good on him. Hope something good comes. But I'm not that bothered. Just hope if no KPF eventuates Griff is healthy and gets to play a season. I reckon if he really cranks himself up over a period of time we'll get another Astbury story.

Balme should have just named Tiger71 and Michaels

3 first round picks should not be given for any player, ever.

Depends picks can be over rated, even more so considering there later first round picks. Would you give conca, vickery and lennon for lynch? Yes

You don't rob peter to pay paul.

So boring when you're premiers in trade week. No talk of the doozy and all.

We arent recruiting to win a flag anymore we are recruiting to stay at the top, have you ever seen a hawks or geelong or sydney give away 3 picks for a player?

What have they ever achieved? Their premierships were all flukes. Especially Sydney's, how many have they won lately? If we had a little more luck we'd have won a half a dozen or more. Theirs were all won on COLA or fudging the books, or some other reason I can't put my finger on at the moment.

Thankfully, seeing as how the doozy's were Motlop and Watts, looks like Power must be aiming for stability, so mediocre yet again.

We have the DOAT (doozy of all time) anyway, signed up for the next 7 years.

Melbourne hehe, surely missing Dusty with the first two picks is now a bigger ballsup than us missing Franklin?

Depends if we believe how we play is sustainable

You can never rest on your laurels in sport need to stay active to stay ahead of the pack

A club that's done little in 37 years won't have many laurels to rest on.

Also chose Jack Grimes ahead of Rance.

Ouch! Then again Rancey at Melbourne would still be the average player he was 5 years ago, not sure they are big on developing players down at the Demons.

 

[Spagman]

Watching these other clubs literally lift their skirts for players like Motlop and Watts is awesome.

Someone asked Ricky Nixon why the Tigers weren't doing much in the trade period. His response was that half our VFL side was better than most of the blokes being traded. Not a fan of the chicken man, but I think he was on the money here
