I love this time of year. The way which supporters rate players on their lists vs those of other teams never ceases to get a rise out of me. 2 top 10 picks for Daniher, a bloke thats missed basically two full seasons with OP - one of the most degenerative issues a footy player can get, has to be one of the most ridiculous things Ive seen in recent trade periods.

Ill burn my membership if Port trade SPP + a 2nd round pick for Fantasia.

Just goes to show that no one should trade with Essendon. Ever.
Or take seriously the deluded thoughts that emanate from Dodo.

I wouldn’t give you pick 9 for Daniher!!!!

Picks 5 & 9?????!!!!!!:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
Pick 9 is probably pretty close to right for Daniher I would say, but like you, I would still pass. Missed too many games injured, the Swans already have one injury prone forward on big bucks in Franklin - why get a second one. Two top 10 picks is a joke.

I can't stand Adrian Dodoro and the smug look on his face :LOL: his tough guy act is real annoying. Wants to underpay clubs for incoming talent and overpay clubs to outgoing talent (although, that is all recruiters. He just acts up more than others).

It was so refreshing last year when GWS weren't in the mood for Dodoro with Shiel and having to pay for 2 x first rounders. He should have cut the act before Scully left for Hawks and he might have only needed to pay a first and a second rounder :ROFLMAO:

Hands down the worst club and person to deal with the AFL.

Dodoro has a really bad reputation and opposition clubs really don't like dealing with him.

Essendon
I love how the “Essendon are hard to deal with” line still gets thrown around. They had to be after the supplements saga when everyone was trying to pick at the carcass - they would have lost a lot more players if they didn’t play hard. All clubs start at overs when selling and unders when buying with the aim to meet in the middle. In the last two years, I don’t believe Essendon have paid any less for Smith, Stringer, Saad, and Shiel than other clubs would have ... yes they talked up paying a first and second for Shiel but that was never going to happen with Carlton in play.

I guess at the end of they day every other club usually initially throws out something that you would almost consider.. Dodoro just goes straight for the ‘if you accept this you’re an F’ing lunatic’ type of initial offer...

Geelong appear to have been studying the Dodoro handbook ?

Where’s the facepalm emoji again? Seems to be getting a bit of a workout lately! ?‍♀️ ?‍♂️

Still better than being a Port supporter though ?
Burns might have pulled out because you have no players left to field a team ?

Buddha was the new favourite last night according to 7 but they will change their mind once the remaining 3-4 candidates are interviewed.

Imagine a ex Port coach coaching the Crows.

Maybe Roo will just appoint himself.

Anyone got insight on Tom Cutler? Heard Essendon are in the running. From what I've seen he'd be a good pick up. Could see him on a wing
