Yes.
Once again they will fail to make any significant additions to the list.

Must be the dumbest accountants in the country.

LMAO @ keeping Peg, dimmer and Benny and expecting the club to appear as a viable business move for homeless players.

could be movement apparently balme meeting with caddy... so looks like the lids - caddy could be closer then what we think....
when we look at it if its a straight swap do we win out??? adding midfield depth for 6-8 years and loose a club legend who has maybe 2 left in those legs???

Isnt it embarrassing that Hawthorn make a call on a still very valuable player in Mitchell, whilst we re-sign Maric? :-[

I know Tony , it's unbelievable.  Excellent post.

For the RFC not to get the Prestia deal done would signal long term problems for us, no club will want much do with us in the future regarding trades, not that they do now.

But the other side of coin is they tried to do the same with Lewis and it's turned into chaos

Not sure how you come that conclusion

What have we stuffed up exactly?

All comes down to if you think Prestia is worth pick six

For memory most on here have said no

So i thought folks would be happy with the clubs stand here

Think it always works out like this.
A few pre-arranged deals get done then very little while they try to bluff each other then a flurry of desperate deals in the last day or so.

We are never in a position to get decent players with our picks, trade wise, no he's not worth pick 6 but we have nothing left do we or we won't get rid of players like Edwards, Ellis, Conca and the like to try and improve our picks for the trade. Because Hardwick loves them. Tell me the last time we actually successfully walked away from this time of year compared to other clubs...Then look at where we are. I would say that's a stuff up.

not really, he was going to retire and start coaching he is 34 years old.  All he is doing is extending it a year and slotting into a ready made coaching pos.
