Can we just have a thread for the entire offseason in gifs and memes? I feel like I would be able to cope with Port a little bit better if that was in my life.
 
[Chris Davies and Jason Cripps at the end of season 2017 when Port finishes bottom 8]
Davies: How does this work, Jason?
Cripps: The good picks keep moving in a circle.
Davies: But- But we don't have any good picks. All we have is this [holds up names of list cloggers]. How does this work, dude?
Cripps: I don't know. I thought you-
Davies: What? I thought you were on top of this!
Cripps: You're the one that came up with the plan!
Davies: Did I come up with this plan?
Cripps: Last year, dude, with the top four list and the-
Davies: Oh, I blacked out that night.
Cripps: s**t, dude! I've been following your lead!
Davies: Oh, Jesus. Oh, s**t.
Cripps: Okay, so we have no players with currency and no first round picks. There's still something we can do. That's still a list management strategy somehow.
Davies: How does GWS do it? They've got a complicated system worked out and I cannot begin to understand it.
Cripps: How does self-sustaining trading work?
Davies: I don't understand how trading works, much less some sort of a self-sustaining trading strategy… I don't understand how contracts work.

Cripps and Davies burst into Gold Coast and Hawthorn's O'Meara trade discussions tomorrow:

Cripps and Davies: Scam, scam! This guy's a liar! You're getting scammed!
Scott Clayton (GC list manager): Hey, what's going on here?
Cripps: I'll tell you what's going on.
Davies: We are saving these people from two years of draft pick rape.
Clayton: Oh, hey, if you want your fourth rounder back, all you have to do is say so. Look, you just, uh, sign this release form, pay a 2017 second rounder penalty fee, our #67 will shift back to you, and then you're free and clear.
Davies: That's it? All we've got to do is sign the document? Can we do that?
Cripps: Yeah, does that mean we get our first round pick back?
Clayton: Oh, no, no, I'm afraid I can't help you there. That pick swap was ironclad. I'm just relieved you didn't see the old ... opt-out clause.
Cripps: Wait a second. He just subtly motioned to this document here-- opt-out.
Clayton: Oh, no. Oh, crap, I've said too much.
Davies: "Trader may opt out of the trade within 72 hours for one-time cancellation fee of Ollie Wines."
Clayton: You figured it out.
Cripps: You didn't think we were gonna see this, but we outsmarted you.
Davies: Yeah. We're a couple of foxes. All right, you got got! So suck on that little piece of sweetness.
Clayton: Should have known better than to get involved with a couple sharks like you two.
 
CD: Three draft picks within the top 30!

Port fans: Yay!

CD: All Right! Yeah, well, I guess I'll be on my way

TV: Those two extra picks inside the top 30 have cost Port it's first rounder for 2017.

Port fans: Hey, …

CD: Huh?

Port fans: … that's not a good deal

CD: Yeah, maybe not technically, but …

Port fans: You said we'd be aggressive in the trade period and trade out up to 13 players.

CD: Oh, come on. Guys! That's just as good!
