Why didn't we do it last time? That was my light bulb moment, the league stinks. Love the club, hate the league.
Public opinion was way in favour of the league at the time and completely against the swans. I still didn't like it and thought we succumbed to pressure put on by the AFL.

Martin is almost the best player in the comp , be silly not to get him!!
Just watching Eddie & co, should it ever happen, will be worth the excercise.
Buddy & Dusty!
Heeney & Mills!
The trifecta?
Hopper from GWS' Academy!

Yes Mike Thatfatprick!
We can have them all.

Haha, you changed your focus :p
All a bit of fun.
You just never know what our club is up to.
We are respected by many players & the attraction for high profile plarers is that we offer them a high chance of success along with relative anonymity.
As Horse always says, we just have to find a way.
With Buddy, after landing Tippett, we found a way.
The key for both players was that they chose us.

Notice the 2 you mentioned we didn't have to trade for ;) Our club can attract players, but we in recent history, have not been in the game of trading our future away.

If Jones requested a trade, we have some currency on the trade table especially if Jones was happy to go to Richmond. But personally, I would keep Jones and our first rounder and pass on Dusty.

Wow... A post of mine got deleted for "playing the man". Wtf!? Me??

I never would like to be seen to be doing that. My apologies to whoever was offended by whatever I said. Def not my intention. I can't even figure out which post & to who it was directed.

I'd hope most on here would know I try to be as balanced as I can & not the kind to attack other posters. I'm not here for arguments, trolling or yelling until everyone else agrees. I'm here for debate, discussion & occassionally some humour.

Just shocked I got the "playing the man" card delt to me. Sheesh...
I think someone took my joke the wrong way and you got caught up in it because I think I quoted you. Not sure but oh well, no harm meant

It's all hypothetical though...apparently, when it suits! Someone is going over the top tonight. It's not as if we're all high flying execs from the AFL, enjoying the fruits of our labour!

With $2m rise in the cap, Sydney obviously have someone in mind since they still have not signed Reid and Jones. If they were our only priority and we didn't have a significant target in mind those two would be done and dusted by now. Clubs were advised to bank on an extra 10% or $1m in cap raise not 20%. This means all the planning would have been done to set current contracts up to allow us to resign those two within an $11m cap. That leaves $1m free.

My tip is we are having a serious crack at Dusty. $1.5m for 6 years. This leaves us with $500k to sign a Reid or Jones. Whoever wants it really. The other will leave.

I thought it was reported somewhere he would be staying in Melbourne?
