What benefiteth the magpie to view the auction of a giant, without any coin to trade?

Honestly what a waste of time for all parties.

Don’t bother with GWS players going forward.

Nor does Blitz during Trade week.

It does seem weird, especially when Hill seems to have basically said he would prefer to return to GWS than go to the Pies.

And ‘failed’ is arguably one syllable.

At least this effort was rated PG.

Arbitrary limitation contained within that post.

Agreed. Considering our offer - not much else we can do.

Limericks?

There once was a Hill named Bobby,
For his services Dodoro had to lobby,
Offered a third round pick,
But McCartney’s a prick,
And now trade radio is getting all snobby.

GWS and GC are the only reason that trade period is interesting!

Its in line with their recruitment policy… here is Cegler getting his jumper

SEN with Bobby Hills Manager:

  • Agent has spoken with McCartney, claims neither club is deeply involved at this point
  • Essendon has tabled a deal including F2
  • Hoping conversations to start up shortly
  • Bobby is very keen to get to Essendon;
  • Agent pulling on the heart strings a bit re pregnant wife (Multiple times)
  • Twomey asks how Bobby would feel about going back;
  • Agent feels that it’s general narrative from clubs and that it’s a stressful time
  • Preference is with Essendon, no discussion re Collingwood has occurred
  • Bobby has been considering a move to VIC for a while; birth of first child tilted the decision
  • Asked how Bobby is feeling at the moment; claimed he was under a bit of stress

Just remember guys, this is probably the only trade of any interest left.

They need this one to go down to the wire.

It will get done though.

Or troll the mongrels - offer to discuss 2 1st Round Picks plus Draper.
But only if they sack McCartney.

If they really wanted to be chaos merchants they’d just make each club do all the trading in on a club a day basis. Give each club a day over a month and on that day they get 10hours to try and pry guys out of other clubs. Pick trading live the entire time as a free for all.
