Anyway if he did then I'm thinking he's regretting his decision now.
Is that cheating?

That and the phantom groin problems. They got a player a couple of seasons back the same way. Pity for them he turned out a dud.

It would depend on his intention I guess. All I know is if I played in a GF and one of my teammates didn't bother in order to suit his own personal agenda then I wouldn't be very happy. He'd find himself wearing sunglasses to draft night. Maybe even a walking stick.

Ariel Steinberg?
They pull the same stunt every four or five years I reckon. Adelaide used to try it on from time to time too.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Triple H - Heppell, Hurley, Hooker
I know other clubs have accused us in the past of hiding Easton Wood and trying to dampen Lachie Hunter's underage form.
Hawthorn was accused by Adelaide of getting into Gunstun way too hard in his underage years to get him to ask for a trade if they couldn't get him in the draft.
Isn't that just working the grey area along the fair side of the line?

Probably him as well. The guy I was thinking of was Kavanagh. Had mysterious hamstring problems after an interview with Essendon as well as his father put in road blocks for other clubs to even interview him. I'm pretty sure they actually got found guilty of it at some stage over the last 10 years.

Yeah I'm sure there was a story about some shenanigans to do with Steinberg.

Would love Hooker (or Hurley). They'd be enormous for us.

Wonder if having one ex-bomber makes it any easier for us?

I haven't heard anything about Steinberg but Kavanagh and his dad deliberately tanked interviews.

Re: Triple H - Heppell, Hurley, Hooker
Isn't Crameri good mates with Hooker? May put in a good word with him for us. Not sure we really need Heppell tbh. Hooker would be my #1 target, Hurls would be a bit behind him. As for the poster who posed picking up TBC, i'd take T Campbell ahead of him. Is only 24 and is already showing signs of becoming a decent ruck for us, so long as his body holds out. Ditto with Roughy.

I'm sure I recall stories about him. I might be thinking of the wrong guy but it's such a distinct name. Last year when he gave Tom Boyd a touch up in the VFL I can remember thinking about it.

Re: Triple H - Heppell, Hurley, Hooker
Steinberg is a 2nd rate James Gwilt. If they did anything underhand to get their hands on him then we should all be glad that they removed the small risk of him being on our list.

True that, Steinberg is seriously really bad and if they had actually cheated the draft to get him then that shit is even funnier

If anyone needs affirmation of how bad Steinberg is then go and watch Crameri put 7 up on him from last year.
