Daicos and De Koning
Obviously both are pipe dreams but I’m pleased we’re putting it out there! SOS and gubby can go hard for mine!

Correct, the easiest recruiting job in the AFL world is convincing a player to go to Geelong, Collingwood or Richmond.Banger9798 wrote: ↑Thu 16 Mar 2023 9:00pmThat's his job though isn't it....Life Long Saint wrote: ↑Thu 16 Mar 2023 8:18pmWe are not a destination club yet...Hardly Gubby's fault.

Re: Daicos and De Koning
Look, we have to concentrate on the draft and our current <50 games guys on the list.

Re: Daicos and De Koning
Even if it means we just drive up the price and force them into a salary cap squeeze, making other players available.
Still waiting for closure ... if you get my drift.

Re: Daicos and De Koning
Gubby left us for family reasons though

Re: Daicos and De Koning
Seriously, the club needs to hire the two Bobs to ask the likes of Gubby what he actually does.

Re: Daicos and De Koning
I think the De Koning play might be a BS story.
Why announce it to the world? It all sounds a bit staged.
If true, someone might have a score to settle with their old club which is still pretty amateurish.

Re: Daicos and De Koning
I hope it is - I dont rate him (TDK) and would prefer we target others much more suited to our list needs. The one thing it does do, is get us in conversations and perhaps puts some pressure on Carltons bulging cap if they want to retain him. The media reported that Sydney were considering offerring him an 8 year deal which hopefully they do as it may shake a few players out like McLean and Amartey. Both are more the key forward / 2nd ruck type players we need more than an over rated TDK.

Re: Daicos and De Koning
What about Dekoning's cousin that just scored 5 for Man City. He looks handy.

Re: Daicos and De Koning
Maybe, but Gallagher and the club didn't present it that way.

Yeah, bit of a mystery then, seeing Gallagher and Ratts weren't on speaking terms.bobmurray wrote: ↑Sat 18 Mar 2023 7:24pmMaybe, but Gallagher and the club didn't present it that way.

Re: Daicos and De Koning
Lethlean should have gone with him instead of being promoted.
