lol wat?

JDG has been statistically almost identical to Heeney this year. Do you reckon Heeney is worth a pick somewhere in the top 50 too?

Jesus Christ, what's this board coming to when a second year midfielder averaging 18 disposals playing out of the forward line is shit canned like De Goey has been...
This. It's ******* absurd.

In accounting speak, it's known as the DIDO method.

Every club needs a dh by which to distinguish the good blokes.

Every workplace has one and needs one. Through the history of time, and perpetually into the future, the world needs balance. Yin Yan, matter & anti matter, gravity anti gravity. Pendles & Rocky ..

I'm guessing with Wells it's dotting the i's etc which is the case with Mayne apparently.
Rocky, (if true) could/would involve Witts & GCS and some.
Yeah, Mayne AND Rockliff is pretty extreme, in several ways as people have mentioned. Hine loves some good 3-way action though, so it's not beyond the realms of possibilty, but... do we really need and can we really afford both these guys..? Plus WHE if rumours are true.
I know our retirements and delistings have freed up cap space, but we seem intent on filling it right up for the next few years again really quickly.

I can't understand it either, he is a 2nd year kid playing fwd with a small amount of midfield minutes but unless he gets 30pos he's a spud apparently.

Agree mate J.D.G has not lost his value at all. At his age , potential , say in a worse case scenario he asks for a trade? I would ask for a top 5 pick.

If we can get Rockliff I want him. He is top draw and adding Wells as well, we would go into 2017 with the best midfield in the league, by a fair margin.

This is a really interesting situation, though. He would need to dig his heels in and say "Collingwood or nothing" or we won't get him. We don't have the currency. If he does insist on us, however, we could get him for unders.

Having a want away club captain as your club's highest earner would be almost untenable, especially for a young team trying to build a new culture. Given his recent antics and his obvious push for a trade, he couldn't be allowed to retain the captaincy.

If he does stay on and his captaincy is stripped, the club could degenerate into an even bigger mess than it already is. I think the powers that be at Brisbane want to turn over a new leaf, which would have to include a requirement that the club acts more maturely and professionally moving forward. Might give us a chance if we play our cards right.

Hahahahahaha wow. Some posters seriously have it out for JDG. Wouldn't get a pick in the top 50 Jesus Christ. I hope you regret saying that smoky.
It's bizarre isn't it, by some people's logic we should be getting pick 22 for Witts but pick 50+ for JDG.

And we got a 2nd rd pick for Freeman. If we got a mid 2nd rd pick for Freeman then JDG should be pick 10

Would love to know whats up with Brown and Blair?
From what i could gather North will get excellent dividends for Wells possible late first rounder, and you would think they will look after us with Brown. ie possible a second rounder.
But Blair? From what i heard has been offered a 1 year extension about 1 month ago but still hasnt signed up Correct?

OK so don't crucify me for this but.. {sauce} a dude at my local who has a best mate that works in the Tigs coaching box (that much is confirmed) and, he assures me has another friend high up in the Pies coterie group reckons Steele wants to go. If not this trade period then the next.

Caveat/Disclaimer: this guy IS a Richmond supporter and also gave me a shithouse sure thing on the Guineas on the weekend so please factor that in. But he does have connections I've confirmed that much

In saying that I love Rusty and hope it's the BS I assume it is

Yeah kinda.

If brisbane want Rockcliff gone and we are the only club who "has very gently put our hand up about him" (Jake Nialls words) then trying to get Rockcliff for a bargain is definitely what we should do.

If you mean for witts and frost and is getting a 3rd round back back and his salary to be less than 550k then, yeah, we'd do it.

But if we do it, I hope we manage to get the other dickhead back. And by "dickhead", I mean heath Shaw...

Tbbh, I hate tickling, so much so that I'd be barracking for the other team every time he had the ball. I don't seem to remember him doing too much brilliantly in the last year or 2.
Maybe some of our experts could tell me how this guy would improve us and who's time in the midfield he'd take.

Is he an elite kick? Not that I can recall - although admittedly I haven't seen any Brisbane games not involving us. And even then it doesn't look like they have anything worth acquiring.
