Connors met Miller yesterday.

I wonder how that went?

There's been no 'we are not interested in Richmond' in the press so that's a positive.

Paul Connors said there could be a dark horse outside the 4 clubs mentioned and it's the Richmond Football Club due to our PSD pick.

As someone here said we're in it up to our eyeballs

Yup we're playing ducks and drake for sure.  Throwing everything at him to give them a confort zone and not a be all and end all for a trade if nothing works out.

GO TIGES!

IMO, Connors is saying to WCE-"take what Collingwood offers, or you'll get nothing"

[mightytiges]

i get the feeling that we may just be in this right up to our eyeballs. By the way, i heard today that Judd understands that whilst money is important, he may not screw a club up by asking for 1.5 a year, i heard the figure at the end may be closer to 50% that amount.

You're right Ramps.

It's the salary cap that's the main issue rather than the raw $$$ (ignoring for the moment the draft pick cost). If a significant portion of it can be classed as "marketing" outside the cap which it clearly can be with Judd then we can afford Judd and still not put ourselves anywhere near under salary cap pressure. The Club is a $26-30 million business which is about to make over a $1 million profit. Something is wrong if we can't afford Judd in pure dollar terms if he's not asking for a fortune.

That's good for us as the Pies always overrate their list and offer stuff all when it comes to these big trades and tick off the Club they are dealing with. That's why they always miss out. The Pies will offer something stupid like Rusling and pick 14, the Eagles will laugh, and then Judd heads to Punt Rd via the PSD  .

I bloody hope so.
Opportunities of this nature come along very rarely.

He took me to a biker club in preston with a rollerdoor
Where you suck amphetamines and put acid in your cola:
Coca-cola
C-o-l-a cola
he walked up to me and he asked me to Sign
I asked him his name and in a dark brown voice he said Edie
Edie lola ed ed ed ed Edie

Well Im not the worlds most physical guy
But when he squeezed my balls tight he nearly broke my groin
Oh my Edie ed ed ed ed Edie
Well Im not dumb but I cant understand
Why he had more double chins than the michelin man
Oh my Edie ed ed ed ed Edie ed ed ed ed Edie

Well we drank Bundy rum and talked all night
Next to a harley Motorbike
He picked me up and sat me on his knee
And said dear boy wont you come to the pies with me
Well Im not the worlds most passionate guy
But when I looked at his price well I almost fell for my Edie
Edie ed ed ed ed Edie ed ed ed ed Edie
Edie ed ed ed ed Edie ed ed ed ed Edie

I pushed him away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got up to my knees
I said I want to go to the Dees
Then I looked at him and he looked at me

Well thats the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Edie
ed ed ed ed Edie
Pies will be Pies and Dees will be girls
Its a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Edie
ed ed ed ed Edie

Well I left Eagles just a week before
And Id never ever played for the pies before
But Edie smiled and took me by the hand
And said boy Im gonna make you a Millionaire man

Well Im not the worlds most masculine man
But I know what I am and Im glad Im mercenary man
And so is Edie
Edie ed ed ed ed Edie ed ed ed ed Edie

Hutchy says only the 4 known clubs will get a look in. Judd meets Melbourne tomorrow and then Essendon Saturday. He'll meet the Pies when their season is finished.

Judd spent 1.5 hours at Pratt's place (with VISY people present) and then 2 hours wandering around Princess Park with CEO Swann. Swann said no offer/contract has been put to Judd.

Judd will still have an abductor release op but apparently his injury isn't as bad as first thought so his time off may be less than the predicted 4 months.

So Juddy what did you think of the old wooden bench seats, rusty 70s grandstands and the $11 million write-off?

[one-eyed]

Mike Sheahan today still has us in contention for Judd.
 

Richmond also might be in the mix, given the Tigers hold first choice of out-of-contract players in the pre-season draft.

It's funny listening to all these experts saying Judd will definitely be traded and he won't go into the PSD. Yet when they go through each of the 4 clubs Judd is talking to they can't get close to a satisfactory trade.

I've been to Pratts place,quite overwhelming actually.
I dont c Judd succumbing to that angle....if anything i expect him to feel somewhat alienated by the whole thing.

now i know both of the Pratts do a lot for charity, but hell if his missus answered the door it would scare the hell out of me.
