Traded Devon Smith [traded to Essendon]

[El Topo]

In what way? The mail is that Devon Smith's knee hadn't fully recovered (not saying that Stevie's knees were great though!). It would have hurt his trade value more to play him and have a stinker and get injured! At least Stevie J's stinker didn't harm his value.

Fair enough, I was of the impression that Smith was fully fit.

Line out of The Castle comes to mind.
Someone tell him....

I dont think any of those players would take kindly to being locked in a pool room....

Did GWS hurt their trade position by going with yesterday's man Stevie J in the finals?

Maybe a bit but u have to remember Smith had his issues with injuries leading into the finals.Cant compare Steele to Smith as some are doing.People forget he came 2ndin our 2014 b&f ahead of every youngster on our list.He is still only 24

Yeah, I rate Smith and have my own theory that he has extra value as a foundation player - these guys should be central to your club's culture and identity. The Steele comparison is much better applied to Kennedy.

Bottom line is it's better if a deal gets done and he gets where he wants to go.That's probably what will happen. If we can't though we can't.
Options are he goes to another club or the draft. Leon was very direct at our awards night to three on the table that they might end up in our colours next year. I think once he's reached this point it's better he goes but it depends a bit on the person and the circumstances

Going to Richmond for pick 17 heard it here first

GWS might play hardball.

Come to realise that eventually the AFL might stop trying to invent reasons to give them free first rounders.

If Mumford retires would 28 and a ruck man help?
Lueunberger or Mckernan.
Neither are world beaters but they at least compete

They have ruck depth

We have Lobb and Dawson Simpson ready to roll, and Flynn developing. I think Lobb might ne at the stage he needs to ruck and Dawson is increasingly looking wasted in the NEAFL. Everyone's saying we will go looking for ruck a replacement but I doubt it. Anythings possible.

No GWS don't want your scrubs.. What Essendon get for Francis is probably fair value.

Would prefer others as likely DFA's and far cheaper than Luey.

Yep.

Free. Don’t worry, there are a few other teams keeping you company, but not quite in the same league with the handouts.

If Devon had been born in WA, he would have been called Polony
Not sure what other eastern staters (SA, NSW, Tas etc.) would have named him

No worry here.

Besides this is a trade thread. The bitching whining and pot shots goes on in the Main Board.

And I gave reasons why GWS might ask for more than they have in the past.......you felt the need to use an oh so witty meme to respond for you.

We'll probably have to keep francis so... how about francis?
