Wouldn't read too much into interviews guys. Who the **** tells the general public what is really going on behind the scenes and lets everyone know their strategy. I'm sure Noble will do the best he can in a shit situation- we did pretty damn fine in a tricky situation last year. Yes we got unders for Gunston IMO but turned it around when we added guys like Lynch, Johnstone and Jenkins. Add to that we also got Crouch and it was a pretty good trade period for us. Don't have a problem with us stating we won't re-draft Tippett. Has anyone in the history of AFL redrafted their own player, let alone a guy who doesn't want to be here and one that will take up 1/8th of our salary cap (There has been but usually only dud/depth players that want to be at the club and are on minimum salary)? What are we going to do if we redraft him? All we did was state the obvious. We would be laughed at by the rest of the AFL community by sending a 'threat' to re-draft him. LOLs's would be had by 17 other teams in the comp, would've been an absolutely ******ed threat.
Sure, I'd love us to have a tougher stance on this but at the end of the day Tippett has forced us into this, wants to leave and we want to get compensated for him. There's 2 more weeks to go, and I have no doubt we'll hold out for as much as we. Just calm the **** down, it's been only 4 days into the trade period and people are already crying about no progress being made or us going to be shafted. Boohoo, we are only going to get pick 22 for him blah blah



. Just shut the **** up and stop getting into a frenzy when we all don't know ANYTHING that's trying to be done behind the scenes. 250 pages of speculation and tripe.
I'm getting the **** outta this thread for the next week at least cause I know it'll be filled the same shit:
-There'll be the ******ed trade suggestions that will never happen (ZOMGGG JETTA)
-The random assortment of players that people throw out there that we are interested in when in reality people do not know who the **** we are actually targetting
-Noble and Trigg are wankers, grow a spine, I can do a better job than them, blah blah
- WE ARE GETTING ROBBED, PICK 22!?!? and having a sook about Sydney
-Tippett is a dog (seems like the last 100 pages though we've moved on)
-The random Sydney supporter coming and having a gloat
^That's pretty much 250 pages or so pages summed up.
