    We've moved the needle a bit with that threat now we need to take it and move onto Lobb.

    Hate to tell you 34 for 39 is meaningless. They will burn through all the picks in between 34 and 38 except for a Melbourne pick in matching bids.

    It's a one pick upgrade... not quite a deal breaker.




    Math: They have 34, 35, 36 and 38 all burned through.

    Fair enough.
    I’m just pissed it was never a trade we were going to win. Bris made sure of that.
    I will never see #16 the same!!

    When players can walk to the PSD and get pickedup then we really have everything to lose. I don't like the negotiating tactic

    Well it gives us the satisfaction Dunkley wouldn’t play for bris.
    And if he did then the AFL would need to look at how on earth he got past everyone else.

    Regardless of pick numbers if we get 2 x 200+ gamers with our selections have we won the trade?

    Didn't Nick Stevens want to go to Collingwood? Ended up at Carlton.

    21 + F1 isnt fantastic but it also isnt shit. Our 2 x 1sts was always going to be a late 1st, now its just an early 2nd.

    I thought he ended up with the Barwon Prison 'Breakers' for bashing his wife?

    He ended up at Carlton after going to PSD. Port won the premiership the year after.

    He is a scum bag

    AFL star jailed over sickening bashing of glamorous girlfriend that left her with a permanent injury now cruelly claims he's innocent - and only pleaded guilty to get a lighter sentence

    Nick Stevens played 104 games for Carlton and 127 for Port Adelaide
    He was charged in 2014 over a savage assault on then partner Laima McKenna
    In March 2015, Stevens was sentenced to eight months jail but appealed
    He pleaded guilty in July 2016 and was sentenced to six months jail
    Ms McKenna said he had ruined her life after he put her through 'hell'
    Stevens admitted to bashing Ms McKenna, including kicking her on the ground

    Developing news on Dunkley. Understand Brisbane has now offered 21 and a future first rounder without asking for the Dogs' 39 back, which was their initial offer. It's still not what the Dogs want but it's definitely closer to acceptable.

    Add Rayner or Lohmann and get some/many points back.
