[MeltMan]

Not sure about wetting the bed but there are some skid marks in here already.

Hope it stayed on the undies and didn't make it to the pantskyle

 

[Mop]

Are you asking us or the grandparents?

My grandmother is 93 today and 4’10 in her prime. She’ll still curb stomp you, boy

[HoneyBadger35]

Never going to happen but this would be an unbelievable get, so much better than any other options on his role.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Im not sure gaining Petracca and losing (potentially) Ainsworth, Flanders, Budarick and Humphrey is a net gain

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Never going to happen but this would be an unbelievable get, so much better than any other options on his role.

Maybe he'd be open to a move to be closer to his very distant cousin Brayden.

I thought I read somewhere that he wanted to return to Victoria?

 

[Jootube]

Snuck onto the Saints board, and they MUST sign Flanders, TDK, Silvagni, Humphrey, Ryan - while Steele and Marshall CANNOT be traded - but also they've retained NWM, Windhager and Wilkie...

At some point the salary cap runs out lads

 

[HoneyBadger35]

It’s all quite odd, he was a restricted free agent last year but signed a long deal (and turned down five+ year deals in Vic) to remain with GC. A year later he wants out, after their best year yet where he played 24 games.

Make him eye wateringly rich please Don.

 

[Jootube]

Most of us would be upset Waterman got injured and missed most of the year.

You on the other hand are delighted about it.
Says more about you mate.

We call this a pyrrhic victory

Someone was talking about how Steele would be a great captain for their VFL side and uhhhh you aren't paying a guy nearly $1 million a year to play VFL while also going on a massive spending spree this offseason.

 

[Hasselhough]

So as per usual, these campaigners lowball the money for lifestyle and success.

It feels like when we were shafted for Selwood . At least Hawks can match we had to match before we saw the compo

 

[Goroyals22]

‘The bloke I swore black and blue wouldn’t even get a game in any other team made All Australian so now I’ve pivoted to yeah but he won’t do it again’.

You got me brother, I yield to your elite ball knowledge.

Bloody oath I said that, 7 years of nothing on al list should have seen him out and he had an excellent year. Doesn’t change what I said..
1 good year in now 9 leans very much to the fact he is an underperformer

 

[Hasselhough]

Sounds like the question has at least been asked which should placate a few

If the guy doesn't want to come there's not much we can do

Feels like windhager and macrae have taken his spot .

He will probably end up at essendon as a cheap merrett replacement

Just so we're clear, you're unhappy Waterman kicked 53 goals in 20 games for a team that finished 16th?

Most of us think you should celebrate a very late draft pick, father son becoming a wonderful player... controversial I know

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Victoria Park

 

[Hasselhough]

With Humphrey flanders ainsworth and davies potentially leaving are GC trying to get both petracca and curnow ?

 

[Hasselhough]

Im not sure gaining Petracca and losing (potentially) Ainsworth, Flanders, Budarick and Humphrey is a net gain

Clearing cash for curnow as well

 

[eaglevision]

So many player managers are scum.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

'Weak draft' or not. Having picks 1 and 2 in this draft is massive...wonder how badly Essendon want this Duursma kid...

 

[bombard]

In all seriousness, anyone know whatever happened to ol' Phil?

 

[Wooshaaaa]

So many player managers are scum.

They're the ones ruining the game. 100%. AFL needs to change the collective bargaining clauses next time round to allow the clubs to trade a contracted player, if they want out, to the highest bidder and not the players choice.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

We can only match bids if we have the list spot available. So if we go in with 3 spots and draft 3 players we cant match any of the NGA or Banfield.

Its better for us to leave atleast 1 spot open for the draft then take Dev in the PSD if he wants to come here.

It would be ideal to list him as a rookie, but we might be dumb enough to involve him in a trade.

 

[Broken_Chairs]

In all seriousness, anyone know whatever happened to ol' Phil?

Nisbett finally got his revenge

 

[TOA.]

It would be ideal to list him as a rookie, but we might be dumb enough to involve him in a trade.

Bet we use him as part of the Starcevich trade as to try and justify the utterly baffling decision to trade pick 19 for him. Like we tried to do with Blowies last year.
