    In no way should we help him get to his club of choice.. Some things are more important than a draft pick.
    Agreed.

    Let's wait and see what comes of it.
    Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

      If true what club would trust him or his brother - unless its Adelaide who didn't report this.

        Not like he's setting the world on fire down there anyway. Looks lost half the time.
        Bet he goes to another club and becomes AA just to spite us. Probably Crows just to rub salt into the wound!

          I'd still trust him with a secret before I'd trust him with a competent key forward!

            Shame that this will kill what was looking like reasonable trade value.

            Whether it is proved to be better or worse than intimated so far, Talia's reputation will be stained and value diminished.

              On the plus side Talia is one of the few players on our list I'm happy to lose, although obviously the more we get for him the better. At least it isn't someone we actually need to keep.
              I should leave it alone but you're not right

                Nope I don't reckon he will - our history of almost always drafting the "dud brother" strikes once again.

                The list is long. I'm convinced Dalrymple has to rule a line through every potential draftee that has a brother playing AFL. The only way we ever beat the curse is to take both brothers

                    I'm not I'm gutted because I reckon he'll go and be a great player. Looked after Tex and Riewoldt earlier this year Rising Star nom in 2013. He's got it.

                      A great player?

                      Unlikely. Maybe a solid AFL player at best.

                          I've never seen a key position player who's poorer at reading the ball in flight. Seeing that great forward talent in Kyle Hardingham give him the run around in the VFL finals only compounded that view.

                          I think he'll waste 2 years of another clubs time before being cut.

                            Was his mind on the job?

                            Regardless of how good/crap he is, I am with Mantis. If it takes for forfitting our compensation to sack him/due justice from the AFL to occur, than that's the greater good.

                              Cameron Wight had me very optimistic for a while too.

                                I still can't see what the club stands to gain out of this.

                                Ultimately we want what's best for the club long term.

                                All we're doing is decreasing his value in the market.

                                If Adelaide were keen to trade him in.......we should have just got the best return we could for him.

                                And THEN..........if we really wanted to, have some investigation or whatever.

                                I hope there's some end game here that the club has thought through.
