2021 Trade Period Talk

Re: 2021 Trade Period Talk

Either business overrules everything else or the story about the "Rivalry of Nastiness" was way overblown and those in the club have no/minimal issue.

It's nonsense. Bevo spoke highly of people at the club and is good friends with some of them. If there was more spice you would have seen more on the field. They were respectful in victory and that post game song, upon doing more research is very common.

Of course it is. I shouted into the hurricane once but didn't try again.

Ralph just said on FOX that we are about to trade for Will Brodie? Is that a mistake?

He was talking about Fremantle at the time

Re: 2021 Trade Period Talk

List Manager, Am I correct in saying once the Darcy selection is done and we have coughed up the picks we could trade back into this years draft? Ie get a pick in the 40's by trading next years 2nd rounder

I believe that’s possible as it’s outside the clampdown rule change to do with Sydney picking up Blakey. But the clampdown fine details was in a General Counsel update that’s not available. My lingering question for us this draft would be about the ratio of picks to open list spots. It seems like it should be a relevant factor in the AFEL signing off on a live trade if we were at the limit of list spots going in. Or maybe the AFEL don’t care that much. But it seems like an Enron to the principal behind the rule if we were at the limit. If for some reason we were not, then the answer is most probably yes.

Sounded like Dogs but definitely meant Dockers. Had to do a double take when I heard this.

It is common, with the 'Will Griggs on fire, your defence is terrified' chant helping it into pop culture.

But it is not THAT common that it would have been by chance one of a couple of songs they chose to play (and feature on instagram stories, which is a big part of the typical AFL player's life). It was a dig. How much you let that offend you is a personal choice, but there is no doubt it my mind that it was a deliberate choice.

No doubt it was; perfectly explained.

On the Interwebs. Pretty common in Soccer. I've never heard it personally?

I've mentioned it a few times on WOOF, the Will Grigg version of the song was what a Wigan Athletic supporter put on YouTube years back.

The way I read your post was Melbourne sing this song after every win. Honestly I think you are being generous in saying Melbourne meant nothing by it.

Ah nay.

Mitro's on fire. They stole it!

I've sung it at St.James Park.

I'm sure we stole it from somewhere else...!
