    I did pretty well in remedies and can confirm this holds up.

      If this gets to the last hour of the trade period HD, we are sending you in to explain why this needs to happen and then finish the trade contract.

        Gowers was the remedy to Stringer, Wingard would be just rubbing it in!

          I hope JMac targets none of our players, unless it’s fringe players and gives us an AGrader.

None of the other names inspire any confidence though. I'd rather give Dal the draft pick to use.
            I remember thinking toward the end of the third quarter on Saturday night that if Alir Alir was playing for us then we'd be ten goals in front and the game would have been put to bed already.

            I'm spewing that the Swans virtually gave him away and he went to another club.
            They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

              Maybe JMac shouldn’t target umpires in their private room with threatening abuse.

                It's nothing serious. About on par with kicking a player in the head or gouging their eyes.

                    Ben McKay (we can dream) or Riccardi.
                    Chol as a UFA budget option if we want to save draft picks.

                      I'm all aboard the McKay train but he's likely to command 700k or more at North given their cap space needs to be spent on someone. No way we can match that.

                        Depends if he stays for $700,000 per your number, of if he’d leave for $650,000 to a premiership contender.

                        Assuming Wallis (say $400,000) exercised his free agency rights (GVGjr suggesting North are into him), and say if Richards (who is on North’s radar per the The Age (say $400,000 also). North have said they won’t trade picks. McKay and a draftee salary would be the $800,000 in salary savings and the reports are we have some room left. While still signing everyone we want. I also suspect another player or two with some value may ask for a trade.

                        Stranger things have happened....

                          I think the continued talk about losing Richards is premature. He's always been played when available, and I think will continue to be played once available again.
                          TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

                            Not saying that comes from our side at all. North obviously talking to The Age about being after him and the promise of more years or much money or position he wants, or whatever else, maybe Richards hears them out. The larger point was if a few players move this year like in 2016 (Hamling, Stevens, Hrovat), we might have the flexibility in the salary cap to pursue another really decent KPD.

                              North just won't allow him to leave. They have to invest in players like him not let them go.

                                Honestly TD, I’m surprised you are still on the Alir bandwagon in particular what happened after halftime.

                                He started the game in short sleeves and ended the game in long sleeves.

                                I thought you had old school footy principles that would not allow those shenanigans...
