We’re going to have to offer something to help Gordon save a bit of face. Maybe a player from somewhere to muddy the waters around the value, maybe a pick from next year to allow him to talk up the better hand they have in next year’s draft. It will all be about making it appears to be a better deal for the dogs than the 11 deal was. This is what happened with the Carlisle deal where Bains could walk away saying “I didn’t just hand over 5”, and Dodoro could say “I got 5”.
Is there a way we can get a Kennedy or Schache, or some other player (Aaron Hall?) to the dogs along with some picks? I think that’s the way forward
Motlop compo could throw a spanner in the works ‘cause if it’s an end of first round there’s talk Geelong will bundle 19,20 and ask for Richmond’s 15 which they’ll hand to the Dogs.
Of course, if as Connors says Stringer wants Essendon that should count for something but who knows? Feels like a 50:50 proposition at the moment.
What can I say, I was in a meeting, they showed me stuff and let me tell… actually I can’t tell you all of it, hang on maybe I can… yeah well there is an island… and that is in the middle of water… so very hard to get to and then things go bad, so wrong, just bad… and then it causes all these problems… so yeah
I don’t want you to be intimidated… I’m just one of the people… talking in circles and nonsense…
