And “AFL intervention”

And Nino.

I wonder how much is Saints thinking Rosa, as a new list manager, will be a pushover and they’ll get him for peanuts?

Starts with all of your picks and then go find others.

And then one or two guns. NWM or Owens. Would take Windhager as steak knives if you want Shiel too.

Anything less and fk off.

your just scared they would make McGrath captain.

McGrath, Langford, Caldwell & Duzza would be adequate leadership group.

Caldwell Captain or with McGrath Co- Captains have we ever done that.

Oh, they are almost certainly not going to be as good as Zach. Fk all players are 4xB&F, 3XAA before the age of 30 material.

But that really isn’t the point being made by WOB. If Zach wants out, we could use that to bring in (say) three players who can help us reshape both the list and gamplan to be more competitive over the next X number of years.

Mcgrath has no business being anywhere near the leadership group

This would only work because McGrath would have to self report on himself during the games when he’s out of position or ■■■■■ up, and we have a good history of self reporting, so we’ll be sweet.

Merrett is at him multiple times a game it feels like over this. They love an in game debate.

Nino is basically pushing Merrett out.

Or a disconnect between Merrett and the rest of the playing group.

Thats the thing with the draft you dont know too much of a lottery imo.

If we lose Zac i would go after LDU or bundle the picks and try to get Harley Reid

Farken oath!! McGrath is not an AFL captain’s a*hole!!!

For the right trade. Absolutely.
Everyone is tradable now.

The thing with Draper is that it leaves us with Goldstein, Bryan and Vigo.
None of which can be relied upon.
If we don’t bring in a decent ruck when we trade Draper, then we go backwards. That’s just a fact.

Now…we might be okay with going backwards next year.

I’m fine with trading Draper.
I’m laughing at people who think trading Draper on its own will improve our performance.
It won’t.
Quite the opposite.

You reckon he simply wants more cash to stay?

It would be interesting to hear the post season discussions at club level of where our club is at. I’ve got a feeling Brad gave all the older guys a good chance to break their finals drought, now that got us no where he’s decided to reshape the side. This trade period will say a lot on where the club think they are at.
