We also traded out Nathan Brown and did the Veale deal to get Jade Rawlings in the PSD. The whole thing was a disaster.
Rawlings did not want to come to us plus Veale was no deal, a very unlike Bulldog shifty deal.
And we could've had Mundy! Woah!
We lost snakes and ladders.

I know I tend to see the gloomy side of some recent trades - Martin, Treloar, O'Brien and now Jones - but I'm actually NOT against recruiting players...I just want to recruit the right ones. 30 year old CHB's who wouldn't have played in 18-months and voluntarily sat out of footy seems like a bad bet to be placing.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

This seems like the dumbest logic ever.

I think BTT was talking about what the club did (you mentioned in your post)

I should have made clear I was disliking this prospect which is quite depressing:
then we are in jeopardy of making similar comments about the 2021-2024 years when Bont was at his peak and Naughton was sitting on everyone's shoulders.

So you think he's not going to play for the bulk of 2023?

I ignored it cos I don't think she meant it.
I think she meant dislike of a the 3 yr contract?

IN: Sam Darcy
Great scenes listening to Bevo announce he will make his debut. Feels like a big moment for the Club.

Someone at that age wants 2 years at a certain salary which is fair enough but we say no you can have the salary but it will be over 3 when he will be 34. Only the elite can play until 34. Surely we would say 2 and lets see how you are travelling.

Or, we spread the salary over three and if he is no good in year 3 doesn't matter as our salary cap is balanced. Downside, it does take up an additional spot.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 21 v Fremantle at Marvel on Saturday
It's a 2 year deal split over 3 years; so lets say his asking price is $1m total, we're paying him that at $330k over 3. I don't think that is too bad to be honest. That was my understanding of the 3 year deal anyway?
But yeah Sam Darcy is in!

List spots are gold. We give them up too easily in my opinion.
