    I think we should stick to our guns for the moment. Still just under 4 hours to go.

    Yep. We could try to see if Port will draft trade 29 & 68 - for - 45, 51 & 53. (Port 127 points up)

    Then offer 32 (29 for Bruce so they get more than 32...) and a future 4th (bugger all points) - for - Keath & future 3rd (much more points). That's as generous as I could get.

    Leaves us Pick 13, 68 & upgrade La Young -- Bruce, Keath, 2020 3rd

    The original picks, in effect: 45 gets Keath, 51 gets us a future Cows third, 53 downgrades to 68. So we just cop the 53>68 downgrade. But the other third rounders get what we intended. The Cows can bang on getting a pick around 30 and St Kilda getting a top 30 pick.

    Landsberger saying Sydney want more than 32 for Jones, and that's the hold up. Perhaps exchange picks 51 & 56.

    Bruce & 56, for, Picks 32 & 51. Seems a fair compromise.

    32 for Jones is about spot on.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    This bloke is so overrated. The talk of him being a good player is about as accurate as his kicking.

    Oh I agree entirely. He runs in straight lines with next to zero awareness.

    I'm really ok with us holding on Bruce. Hopefully though it hasn't cost us any other deals. But i have faith in our team to be across what they need to.

    I agree. We put a stake in the ground that we stick to our word and build a reputation as being fair but firm.

    I value Bruce and Keath at the exact value we’ve tabled for them. In honesty both clubs need to move them on.

    Would Bevo have much input in the negotiations?
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
