    Well his list manager has. Completely. They’re hoping a few guns can wall paper over a bunch of average players. That don’t work. I’ve seen it tried many times.

            What shits me is how this feeder club has strengthened already strong clubs:

            Rich: Prestia, Lynch, Caddy
            Port: Dixon, todays trades
            Geel: Bowes/7, Ablett Jr, Caddy
            Coll: Houston indirectly,
            Carl: Saad, Martin, Hollands

            Plus Jaeger, May, Rankine, etc

                  Fancy a trade spruiked on trade radio being big Vic biased!

                  I'm glad it's not going through.

                  How do we get Baz and Geelong involved in this?

                      No. Our best offer right now is 35 & F1. Not even close.

                      Everything (trades, pick trades) hinges on Geelong.

                        It actually also hinges on Power.

                        Rightly or wrongly is holding our also limits our ability to do anything and it has been that way for a number of years now.

                          This is the problem he faces. Take an earlier poor offer and try to deal. Or wait and get a better deal, which then limits him to pick trading. He’s a bit in a no win situation. Clubs are deliberately trying to exploit us by running the clock out to ramp up the pressure on Sam. He’s damned if he does or doesn’t. Unless there’s a guaranteed great trade for a lesser trade, I back him to wait it out for better returns on players.

                            Reports Eagles are giving up pick THREE for Carlton's 12, 14 and Owies.

                            Somebody please explain that to me!!!

                                I would think that the Eagles think the draft is pretty even in the top 15 or so and want someone who they reckon will be there at 12.
                                14 goes for Baker and Owies comes in so they get some senior talent in as well.

                                Maybe they're keen on local kid Bo Allan and think he will be there anyway.
