Re: Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?
I don't think he's pulled that out of thin air. If we are working on deals with other clubs, he could just as easily hear about it from them. There is somethg significant afoot (whether it eventuates is another matter).

I have my doubts.
Think we'll end up with a few middling picks for all of Adams, Hamling, Stevens and Hrovat, plus we'll trade out a late pick for Cloke and that'll be that.
Would love to be wrong.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

We all hope you're wrong.

Re: Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?
He probably heard that the Bulldogs were working on a big secret deal and were being very cagey from Anthony Hudson on SEN yesterday morning trade central like I did.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

I'm very sceptical but this has been reported by several journalists, is it just a reaction because we have kept our cards close to our chest this trade season ?

Peter Gordon did say we will be very active in the trade period. (Pre Grand Final, so may have changed )

We are by default now. We have to work out at least 4 trades out, so heaps of cash and some value of the trade table. This is where JMac needs to earn a his salary, either with getting good kids back, packaging up mid round picks or another audacious big trade. 5 late second rounders isn't a great trade period for the guys were are letting go.

Re: Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?
After hearing all the stuff that goes on during the year wouldn't be surprised if most of it is already sorted out by the trade period it's just the shuffling of picks that holds it up because no one knows where they will finish at end of year.

I think we're going to end up a tad disappointed.

Jmac earns his salary by not offering Hamling 500k.
2 rounder would a great result, most likely 3rd.

Barrett - Sliding Doors Round 1.

you look back at the Grand Final ... |
... JJ remains a very worthy Norm Smith Medal recipient. Boyd would've been too. He cost a bomb, actually two bombs. Yet even if he never again touches a football for the Bulldogs, he was a bargain. |

Re: Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?
If,
Barrett has been wrong all along...
Then,
Why not specifically say "I was wrong"...

Might be sucking up because he had upset so many clubs they refuse to talk to him anymore.
No stories no job
