So what do you thinks gonna happen with WADA? They have positive tests that show the presence of Thymosin beta-4. The Bombers are absolutely cooked. There's a reason why their form nose dived even harder than usual and Jobe Watson pissed off overseas mid season. Stop drinking the kool aid and accept that Bombers players have no value.
I agree to a certain extent, but those tests just showed an elevated level of TB4 on 2 players only. Remember that we do have that in our systems naturally, so then it comes down to an extent issue. Also if only 2 players tested positive, do the tribunal extrapolate that as all players had it, or just that they can prove only 2 players had it? Even if they did get done, there will be time lost in lieu due to time frame it has taken.

Why are you guys into Yarran, Bennell and Stevy J? You guys lost the contested possession by 33 on the weekend and those 3 players don't even know what a contested possession is. You should go hard at Jack Redden, Contested possession/tackling/clearance beast. Would fit the Tigers well I would have thought.
Definitely need an inside beast, but we all need outside run as well.

Tigers and opposition posters, I have cleaned up dozens of off topic posts including personal attacks. This is time consuming and I am in no mood. The next person to attack a poster or derail this thread will be thread banned.

Love always Uncle Morro
The only way to stop trolling is give month bans. Nobody cares about thread bans.

Curtly Hampton requesting to be able to look at his trade options? Any takers?
No from me. Doesn't get much, turns it over and is flighty. If his disposal was good then maybe.

Who gives a **** if he's worth a mill? You know what, he is a better player than any of our on ballers. If he can drag our sorry arses over the line for a GF, you reckon it's worth the cost? We need to have a dip. Or are you clearly happy recruiting broken down players cheaply and being overlooked by other players, and we continue to get what we are now?
After 3 consecutive finals losses and two of them winnable WITH a player of Dangerfield's capabilities, it would be negligent for our club to not follow due diligence and make an offer on Dangerfield. All this talk about going to Geelong reminds me of ;

Tony Lockett booked in to the Office at Punt Rd to have his photos taken in front of the Tiger skin
Brad Ottens "definitely remaining a Tiger". Then asks for a trade the day after
Mitch Clark wanting to be traded "back home". Ends up at Melbourne.
Buddy definitely GWS bound. Goes to Sydney

Have a crack at Danger. All he can say is "no". I WOULD offer him $900K +. Any of our highly paid profiled players can ask for an explanation and also be handed a copy of the last three finals games to ponder.

People talk about Buddy winning a premiership the moment he walks into Sydney. Danger is exactly the player we need. Maybe Treloar is the smokescreen ? We had a "war chest" before the retirements and re signings this year. Make use of it !

Danger will be $1 Million plus I reckon.

One Dangefield for 1 mill or 2 very good players for 500 each?

My question is, why aren't you guys throwing everything at Danger? Out of the two, he seems to be a better fit given you're currently in your premiership window.
Who says we're not? Hartley & Richardson keep things pretty under wraps these days.
I'd certainly hope we have a lot more on table though, we need more than just him and I'd prefer to focus on 4-5 good upgrades than just putting everything in the Dangerfield basket.
