    I agree, he used to be quite reliable but now you barely gets a rumour right.

      Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this trade? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this trade! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a woofer defending baseless trade talk, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.

      Is that going to be a new sig? I like it.
      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

          If Jake digs his heels in and demands a trade (while under contract) to a destination club of his choice, and that club can't satisfy us with an extremely fair deal, I say screw him and his manager. Make him play out next year with us or he can sit out AFL footy entirely.
          Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

            I agree. Just like Bryce Gibbs last season when Adelaide couldn't satisfy Carlton with a respectable enough trade for a gun player. We have to hold our nerve with this one and not blink first.

            Jake has skills few possess and I want to see him explode in Bulldogs colours but if that isn't the case we MUST be the winners in the trade.

              They'll prey on Bevo's love affair with tall, athletic almost ruckman and they have 3 that I know.
              But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                  If Blicavs, Stanley, Menzel, Motlop or Zac Smith (or anyone else on their list) are not paired with a first round pick, I don't want to hear their names spoken of again.

                  We cannot underrate Stringer.

                  (I'm not completely delirious, we would have to give a later pick back)

                    I don't even want any of that with a first round pick. Still unders

                      Yeah noticing a lot of silly stuff tweeting from Stevo. Knows a lot about the Dogs and most times he is spot on but if you could find a suitor who it is almost impossible to get a deal done with it would be Geelong. Who are they going to offer Motlop? Menzel? They have no picks to throw in with them. I'd be prepared to just squash this tripe straight off the bat.

                        I quite like Stevo but he gets bulldog rumours spectacularly wrong. A couple of years ago at the B&F I convinced him that Ben Reid had committed to us under FA and he wrote it up in the H/S the next day. He obviously doesn't check his sources very well.

                          Injuries, Ins and Outs. yeah he gets them right most of the time. Player movement his strike rate is just like every other reporter out there. The sky isn't falling or gold has fallen in our lap because someone with a "source" says so. We don't have Trengrove, we haven't lost Stringer. There is still nothing to see here.

                            Whilst I agree with the above, who has Geelong failed to deliver in the last few years that they have targeted in the off-season? They nail just about everyone they chase.

                            I can't see how they can appease us with a suitable trade but stranger things have happened.

                              How are they fixed for future draft picks? They've given a few up over the last couple of years to get ready made players, are they out of that cycle after this year?
