The rest is from RSN this morning via Stevo.
gaff, wines and lyons
Dont resurrect that old story.
What about wines Mum, like why is it always close to the old man. What if heās close to his mum, or maybe his grandma.
And a 3 day goat
At the moment iād happily give up our next 2 first rounders for Justin Westhoff if we also sent nino packing as part of the deal
Did you read that on bigfooty?
I wonder if Ninoās dad lives in SA.
Nino can you have a spell mate
As much as i like Wines and see him as a good fit, heās not a top 10 mid in the AFL.
Very good player.
For 2 first rounders though youād be expecting a superstar.
wondered why this thread was exploding. Half of it just nino, Sigh
Could francis be a carrott to assist in getting this done?
Rather get Anthony Miles for next to nothing who is a good player at VFL level and due to Tigers superior midfield just canāt get a game
Itās all about humans to you people. What if heās close to his dog or cat or goldfish? Perhaps thereās bathroom cupboard that he misses!
Happy to take him for cheap, but not sure the number 22 clearance player in the league deserves a big deal and our high draft picks in a year where there are some real stars.
Francis should only be included if he really really wants to go and heās likely to leave in 12 months.
Myles is exactly what we donāt need. Another mid who can win a clearance but cannot spread from the contest well enough or apply enough pressure outside the contest to be AFL standard in todayās game.
not going anywhere

We are seriously deluded if we think someone like Wines is the āmissing pieceā to our midfield. Dangerfield alone isnāt the missing piece, need more than Wines to fix our midfield.
If that is what is happening, that would be a bad move by us (IMO). Because it will also cost us our 2018 and 2019 first rounders (maybe a 2018 2nd rounder back). No way he goes for less than Treloar did, which was two firsts with a second returning. Similar cost to Mitchell.
Much better to use that money on a RFA (cough, Gaff, cough), where their club may not match. Dangerfield is the only time to my knowledge a club has matched. Even then, Dangerfield + #50 only cost Geelong #9, #28 and a fringe player. Less than Wines would cost.
Given Disco not afraid to play chicken Iām not sure it will come to that because if he wants to come to Melb then Blues would be sitting there in PSD
Port would have to buckle. And since we did too for Ryder in the end fark them.
In saying that our 2018 1st and the GWS 2nd plus fringe SA player like Redman maybe with a pick back to us perhaps should get it done. Not too different to the Danger trade you mentioned.
Our trading last year in the face of what everyone thought could and couldnāt get done and for what should give us confidence that we wouldnāt give up the farm for anyone.
