Forgive me if I missed the context, but what was this regarding, Broady?Ryan Griffen.
Not at all, though just seems more of a connection than friendship... or maybe i'm just imagining something.
Absolutely Spot on. Another reason i don't want Levi to be traded unless he requests it. He has sacrificed so much to stay with us and now finding peak form. To trade him now would send a message that our players are just meat. The close comradery they are building now is still fragile until we start having some sustained success. No reason to start a mercenary mentality.No No No. Our situation now is list stability, we can add but we can’t extract - unless they are delisted. This is a time where belief and psychology are playing a huge part, every one of those guys needs to know they all belong at the Blues and they can all contribute to something special.
We also need to be wary that in years to come clubs will come knocking and targeting our talent - then and only then do we consider a trade because that’s when clubs will pay - when we have something they want.
We can’t allow a team to come and just pluck a super talented youngster from the list that we have built for sustained success. Keeping team unity and our you g talent is more important to us than Papley. There I said it.
Context of discussion -- do clubs sometimes give up good players (like a Marchbank for a Papley) before they win a flag.....I agree with the broader premise no they usually don't but there are exceptions to every rule. I threw up Griffen as an example, in fairness he wanted out and wasn't traded just because the Dogs didn't want him or saw something better come along. But sometimes you have to give up something valuable to improve the overall team.Forgive me if I missed the context, but what was this regarding, Broady?
What a load of rubbish. No way would a 31 year old player warrant band 1 compo. Anyway, we have pick 8 so it is impossible for North to receive pick 9 as this is directly after our pick, not their's.Apparently Whatley said on SEN that Norf would have gotten pick 9 as FA Compo if Goldstein left. Although I think that is nonsense, massive lol to Norf it was true
Cheers. Yeah gotta agree, though those circumstances were pretty untenable. Still miraculous how they turned it around so quick (possibly overachieved). FWIW the only senior players I can see being traded/moving on outside delisting (Lang, Deluca would be nervous) would sadly be Levi and maybe Flip give the recent chatter and contract situations.Context of discussion -- do clubs sometimes give up good players (like a Marchbank for a Papley) before they win a flag.....I agree with the broader premise no they usually don't but there are exceptions to every rule.

It's moot as TCP says the club isn't indulging the Swans' interest in Marchbank.
You're not starting a rumour on the rumour thread are you?What is Papley's girlfriend's link with Nic Newman?
Sounds like a good rort.As someone who works for a company that does medical tests, we have a contract so as stated don’t pay per test done, we would be about 5-15% of medical test go on to employment

Still think it's bad practice if the company has to rely on info from chats had at medicals.As someone who works for a company that does medical tests, we have a contract so as stated don’t pay per test done, we would be about 5-15% of medical test go on to employment
What about sending Harrison McCreadie and Cam Polson to the Gold Coast. They are in the Lang Category.Cheers. Yeah gotta agree, though those circumstances were pretty untenable.

Still baffled by Cats' ruck target situation. They have like 14 on their list - at least a few of whom are solid citizens.
Laird would be fricken fantastic for us.
That'd be the only way you could get me on board, but Marchbank isn't going anywhere.
Poking around a player's girlfriend on social media...?
Yek.
You're not starting a rumour on the rumour thread are you?
Question for y'all. How would you rate our targets - outside of Papley, Martin, Eddie (the obvious ones we're looking at getting) - in terms of preference/importance to our side, on the assumption that our Future first rounder and change is on the table?
NB: Must be names we've heard of that could be on the move.
For mine, it'd be:
1. B. Crouch (perfect foil and on cusp of A grader but has injury risk, which Russell would help with)
2. Laird (dual-AA HB capable of pushing up the ground)
3. Wines
4. Viney
No doubt a few others I've missed, but these would be my personal hit list. Get Papley and Martin to publicly jump on board, Eddie/Sauce to commit then we've got much more pull/momentum to make a deal happen.
Papley and Martin would be a better result for the team over all than Cogs would have been.

Kennedy's hands really impressed me, he was one touch and rarely fumbled. Really hoping we get him fit because I still think he can be a player!
