Take him to Wongs, then supper over at Gordo's over canapes and a splash of Dom with the Grand Final on in the background then drive him down to his Mum's in Bacchus Marsh and tell him he'll be able to live at home if he wants to.But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.Comment

Liam Duggin was a Bulldog supporter growing up. Has clean skills. He'd be the target if it comes to that.They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

Yeah they're in no rush though if they get him for nothing next year. They have coverage down back. I'd rather try for something meaningful now. Adams and Hamling are really pissing me off.
Re. Duggan I assume Doug was his former coach. May be worth a call.But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.Comment

Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
Doug said in his draft year he was either the best or one of the best juniors he'd ever seen.
I want a return, but it may be only pick 34 and leave us with no KPD stocks next year. I'd rather have Adams in another attack at the premiership than pick 34 next year.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
Players that insist on going home are contriving to affect the essence of the National draft declaring they will only play for one or two teams. If they insist on doung this these players should be banned for five years. That would stop them and cure their homesickness.Comment

Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
It's intriguing to know that our club's relative silence during a trade period where we have a few guys out of contract and on the verge of leaving must belie what is actually going on behind the scenes. I can't think of any official commentary or chatter in the media as to who we may be interested in.
It says something about the culture within the club that we've managed to keep our dealings with prospective players and clubs relatively low profile. I mean, its ridiculous to even consider that the recruiting team is not acutely aware of the effect on the list structure of those likely to depart. We must therefore, like other clubs being mentioned in the media, be actively approaching other clubs and players to explore deals. But unlike many other clubs right now there is almost a complete absence of chatter about who we are into.
But does anyone else get a vibe, that this silence may be concealing a seriously big deal(s)?
I know he's hardly a reliable source for confirming what day of the week it is, let alone breaking serious trade scoops....but Barrett's tone in sliding doors, suggesting we were very likely to pull off a serious coup, seemed indicative that he had personal knowledge of, or maybe a hint of what we're up to.
Who might it be? I'm trying to think of what big names have remotely been spoken about as a trade, even at a whisper.... Goldstein?? Deledio?? O'Meara??? Prestia??? Fyfe?
Irrespective of whether Barrett's 'I sorta know something no one else knows' comment is true or not, the fact we've been able to keep details of our enquiries or likely targets so low profile in the media is perhaps a revealing insight into how tight our club is operating right now right now.Comment

Or, JMac is actually drinking mohijtos on a beach in the Bahamas with this unshakable feeling like he's forgetting to do something important.
