That's a joke if true, when we received nothing. But Wells is likely being offered 200k more then Waite and an extra year but still bullshit if true.
It's got nothing to do with how much compo other clubs received for their FAs. Simply about contract length and amount.

Pickett has a lisfranc injury he's been recovering from, which is just below ACL in terms of as serious as it can get for a pro athlete.

Such risk has to be taken into account at the trade table surely.

I hope Pickett had a full recovery with no recurrence or ongoing pain. It can cut short careers though. Hopefully he's one of the good statistics! Buyer beware though especially in our clubs position.

Was just thinking the same. Might not have the polish of a Gibbs or Murph but I'd be happy with him dishing it out to them all day. Very good in traffic. So what if he's 2/5ths into his career because he's really only coming out of his apprenticeship. We have the money and should get it done. It's important to remember his value is based on what he'd bring to us.

If GWS are after pick 1 and the Bombers need a replacement for Hibberd and Dempsey, we might be able to stick Tuohy in there somehow. It'd make me sick seeing him play for Essendon, and probably him too, but it could work out well for us in a 3 way trade.

can see dodoro offering a 6th round pick and a photo of SOS complaining to the umpire in the 93 GF

Just some casual observations from the last 10+ pages and a refreshed rumour.

Mitchell is a decent player, but he ain't worth 700 bills to the CFC. Unless his figure comes down considerably, pass.

Some people want everything for nothing. #5 pick has yet to play a game. He could be anything, like the GWS players touted to be included in a trade where meant to be. In our current predicament I'd rather take multiple players with perceived upside struggling to break into a strong lineup than one maybe. Have a look at the #1's over the last 10-15 years. Nothing is a given. Quantity over unproven quality every time in our current position. If GWS want #5 for Marchbank, a position of need, plus others in positions of need, well hell yeah. The Jaksch/Whiley/late first trade was a good trade at the time and still may be. One GAJ hasn't been able to drag a solid list up the ladder. We need to bake the cake before we add the cream IMHO.

Still hearing that a certain ex #1 pick KPF may end up in Navy Blue. More will develop post finals.

makes me sick the media fawning all over him. He lead his young team mates through a systematic cheating regime.. He is every bit as culpable as Hird was.
Having read the few tidbits of Dustin Fletcher's book printed in the media, I'm even more staggered he & Jobe didn't protect the younger kids.

Fletcher being a near 40yo bloke who seems quite intelligent IMO. Injections in the stomach, off site, dozens per player, Dank losing track of who's had what etc etc.

Either mind boggling stupidity or blissful ignorance. Either way, he, Jobe & the higher ups let a lot of young lads down.

Sorry, wrong thread & all. Just pisses me off no end, especially the glorification of * by AFL media.
