Well with all the whispers about trading out Phillips, Grundy and Treloar, it's clear to me that our pathetic submissive end to the season will have dire consequences for a few players. The fact is, on match day, when it mattered most, the players let the club down. While neither Bucks nor Ed publicly admonished the players, I'm sure a conclusion was reached that this list has run its race, having squandered the opportunities to land a flag over 3 yrs 2018-2020. We need to construct a newish list, with some significant changes. Hence some players will be induced/encouraged to accept offers elsewhere, allowing us to land a couple of big fish, so that we can go into season 2021 with a sense of newfound power.
So while I normally value loyalty etc, given the flaccid performance of our team in the semi-final, its no-one's fault but their own that we now have to be more ruthless. Second best, is no longer (actually it never was) good enough. |

Flogging a dead horse here but time is running short for both Bucks and Eddie to actually win some silverware - hence we cannot wait for a normal well paced rebuild, so I concur as well.
PS: My gut says we'll hold onto Grundy.. but of course considering the climate, anything could happen.

There's no whisper of trading Grundy, it was just a former employee saying that's something he'd look at.
If DTM said he'd like to see us trade someone it doesn't make it a "whisper". It's purely someone's idea / opinion.
Phillips and Treloar are whispers. They're stories from club and/or player sources and journos need at least two different sources before running with a story so there's clearly some merit to them. |

Nah, you're confused with the guy on Fox Footy who seems to have been on two different sauces before going live! |

How quickly we forget the magnificent win over the Eagles, such short memoires. Throw the baby out with the bathwater time. Make trades, changes yes, but to throw up Grundy, Treloar, is just ludicrous. OK we put in a shocker, shit happens, all sides have shockers, now grow a set and get over it.

Who are you talking to - yourself, or the club that is trying to force Treloar out, for the second year in a row? |

Gee, thats strange, i saw Treloar himself deny hes going anywhere, was very firm, and Eddie said the exactly the same. Do a fact check for once.

The club clearly wants to trade him.

Really, ? all i know is what the man himself said two nights ago, on TV, he and his partner are working things out, and hes staying a Magpie for sure, he said those exact words. Im simply repeating what he said, himself, thats all.

So far in the last week, I think I have heard every single players name mentioned up for trade or delisting, bar about 5 or 6. But during the next week, I am sure those last few names will get thrown up somewhere also.
Trade week starts in 10 days. It's going to be a long 10 days. |
