True but keep in mind Choco and Leon both have strong ties to our club and GWS. We are confident with that and know a fair deal will be worked out.
Maybe so,But at the end of the day they would want whats best for their current club for it to climb up the ladder and win a flag,Like every other club.Put it this way if the roles were in reverse would you give up Pick 1 or 9 for that matter when we hold the PSD up our sleeve?I know i'd be peeved if we didn't push for a trade that suited us not what suits GWS.
Adams is a must in the Trade i reckon(Ready made replacement)
Keep our pick 11 and hopefully get pick 19 off them aswell which i reckon is reasonable compensation in the position we are in.

Stoked that Reece has re-signed. I hope Dusty sees the light and resigns too. But....what if he doesn't AND Adams goes To Collingwood. Tiger71 has said that we'll get a fair trade. Surely when GWS have been saying all year that the Melbourne clubs should trade a star for Pick 1, this is what they were talking about? I'm curious, What would be fair trade that doesn't include Adams?
Pick 9 and a swap of 2nd round picks. It wouldn't be great but we could then trade ours to Brisvegas for Longer and their 2nd rounder.
Not sure on the exact draft numbers but say...

Out: Martin, pick 11, pick 28
In: Longer, pick 9, pick 17, 25

Could be worse, but I hope for better

Use 3 picks in the draft - top 25

Speaking of Chocco, does anyone know what his relationship to Adam's was/is ? As I think this could play a part in the trade for Adams..

We've had speculation, it's now time for a....

Conspiracy theory ;)

Maybe Chocco came to RFC to convince Dusty to go to GWS, and then Chocco is out of here at the end of this year back to GWS :O

Hahahaha ;)

Agree with that mate but also it is also in GWS intrest to get a fair deal done. Who's to say when our young kids are playing finals at the G consistently in front of record crowds and Cameron for example decides he wants to check offers. If GWS bends us over we will then do the same, both lose.

Don't misunderstand If dusty goes GWS will win out but we will atleast get Adams out of it at worst case

If Dusty does in fact go to GWS, can a trade be sorted out and announced before the official trade period in October?

My tip he will be a Tiger next year.

Carlton, Collingwood, Melbourne all out of contention.

Lions dont even have a coach and still smarting over bad boy Fev, would be unlikely.

Saints warning players not to holiday with Dusty isnt exactly the stuff an interested team/coach would issue.

GWS, appeared exactly as SOS said, just doing their due diligence (no doubt on Carr`s request) whilst Dusty was going up to see the old man, thats my take and what SOS said, he might be giving spin for the media, but his reaction to the Off-field issue makes me think otherwise. Plus their is the Lambert and players/parents welfare issue that Johny Ralph said is huge.

Everyone from Vlad to Richo (yesterday) has had a shot at Carr and told Dusty his best option is to stay a Tiger. And, if as i suspect GWS dont put in an offer, he will come back tail between the legs, sign, put in a huge pre-season and after round 1 all will be forgotten.

Maybe Dusty loves the Tiges so much that he knows he is about to explode off field, so is trying to get us a good trade before he does so

I still expect him to go, but as I posted on another thread (jokingly), what are GWS thinking getting Buddy AND Martin AND Fisher in the one club together?

All by themselves are issues, and the Saints freaked at the idea of Martin and Fisher going to the US together. GWS are not concerned by these three living together, with plenty of free time and shit loads of disposable income in the party capital of Australia?

If it does happen, the Melbourne clubs should "incentivize" one of the NEAFL clubs to recruit Hislop, Pettifer, Fevola, and the rest of their gang to get the party really pumping :D

Agree with this, even though I'm 50-50 now it only come from the wall of confidence from the club that regardless what happens well be ok. There is zero panic. I am not used to it lol
