Re: Josh Bruce 2019
That's right. Never mind the uncertainty for the player we're targeting on a relatively large contract, never mind the (in the Crameri instance small) risk of missing him.
There's actually a reason why teams like ours don't behave like arsehats at the trade table and take a universal approach to trading fairly. Sure there's going to be clubs like Essington that don't, and you're right, they've gotten nowhere as a result of it. Overall the landscape is better for the majority of clubs behaving the way we do.
TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

Re: Josh Bruce 2019
So apparently he's going to the Dees now?
I'm pretty ambivalent to all of this. Not great that we failed to get a deal done once again though.

Re: Josh Bruce 2019
I think the Bruce trade is waiting out the Steven trade which may get done with Geelong's later pick for Kelly. . The Aints want to know what they've got for Jones which they'll be keen to sort ASAP. I'm hoping a few things roll on from here.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

I heard the Geelong list manager say he thought they won't get Steven?

I think they will. I'd be surprised if St. Kilda refused to release him given his mental health issues. Steven is on record as saying that if he doesn't get to Geelong he will likely retire.

Which is probably the bidding of St Kilda to create some fake pressure. Unless there's something concrete I can't read.

Re: Josh Bruce 2019
Dougal Howard has now nominated St.Kilda.
So Hill, Zak Jones, Howard, Ryder, Sam Gray, (have I missed anyone else) with 6,56,73 and 79?
Yeah, they need to get Bruce sorted ASAP.

Re: Josh Bruce 2019
For mine it's a good sign we are not willing to compromise our position. Bruce is no superstar, and the Saints want to introduce a swag of new players via trade so we hold all the cards.
If he goes else where it wasn't to be with the hand we have available. To be honest I can see that pick 32 getting it done.

itll be really interesting to see the cats now play the "he wants to play for us, dont stand in the players way" card now they've locked down a small ransom for Kelly.
The dam wall has busted!

That actually makes a fair bit of sense for Melbourne and Bruce.
Bruce would be #1 target at Melbourne. He will always be behind Naughton in terms of planning/position/opportunities at our club.
I don't want to miss out, but I understand why 'people' would be talking.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.
