Trade talk - from August 2024

I can see this getting ugly and then someone paying a FF or something when it becomes untenable. Sort of like the Treloar situation, except reversed

Be more like Kurt Tippett.
get Dees in trouble for under the table payments and then head to collingwood in the preseason draft.

Poor old Crows got shafted there.

Poor old Crows got shafted there.

Not sure how a club that sanctioned illegal payments and draft tampering got shafted.

[Houli_Dooley]

If Nino and Donslaught9 and co couldn’t accept that Hawthorn were going past us until it happened, wait until Richmond revitalise their list with a spread of elite talent in the next few drafts and give us windburn as they fly past us on our mid table hamster wheel.

Our whole team is full of role players, we should add guns and kids, we don’t want to add guns because it costs us picks we want to use on kids.

4-6 win season playing 2 of Davey, Davey, Menzie, Kako is better than a 10-12 win season playing Guelfi and Owies imo.

The Daveys will not make it - far too soft. Both to be delisted end of next year.

[Houli_Dooley]

It’s really hard to disagree with this. I’d love for them to surprise and prove those of us who think exactly that wrong. But you don’t often see players who are that averse to contact really turning it around. They obviously don’t need to become contested beasts, that’s acknowledged, but there’s going to be a watch next year whether they can reach a baseline acceptable level of competitiveness. Especially Alwyn who has had fewer interruptions and more exposure than Jayden.

[Tbone]

First year alwyn was so much better especially the first game, what happened to him who knows but that could be said of every player on our list

Membrey would be a nice bridging option for North up forward. Seems a reasonable fit to me.

[ivan]

Membrey from saints to norf, what excitement.

[James98]

Seb Ross delisted, dont you ■■■■■■■ dare Brad

[j_w]

Sam Day too.

Other clubs actually delist their old plodders.

[James98]

Some people wanted us to pick him up a few years ago, absolute wage thief that bloke

[WaltertheBlueHeeler]

I know Petracca said he wants to go to a big Melbourne club, but I can see him at the Swans next year.

[Houli_Dooley]

Sam Day
Seb Ross
Jack Darling
Tom Lynch
Chad Wingard
Jack Macrae

It’s happening. Accept it. Need to gradually “improve” our list and build out our depth. The kids can develop in the 2’s.

[James98]

I’d be going after Trent Mckenzie too

[Houli_Dooli]

@James98

Seb Ross delisted, dont you ■■■■■■■ dare Brad

He’s not from North don’t worry.

[Touchedontheline]

Can we convince Baker that Tullamarine isn’t that far from Perth?

Tough, a bit nasty, good defensively, a good field kick, 26yo and 130 games. Would be a great fit for us.

[Houli_Dooley]

@James98

I’d be going after Trent Mckenzie too

Funny thing is he’d probably be just about our best kick back there

It’s happening. Accept it.

How many key forwards do you want?

hf: Stringer Caddy Wingard
f: Langford Lynch Kako

As much as you jest would be better than any forward lineup we had this year

Can we convince Baker that Tullamarine isn’t that far from Perth?

I doubt it muchly.
