Re: Bailey Rice?
Good luck to the Bulldogs and Geelong. Apparently all the grog our players were drinking at the social club in the 70-90's must have affected their sperm.Rosco wrote:The rule is about assisting tradition. No problems with the rule.

Seriously though. I would be seriously perplexed if we dont get him. He is not an Ablett but he is ours. It should be his right. I havent got a good argument really. I have to admit this is all emotion. But I still wont change my mind and I would go rookie. With Freemans hammies its a fair chance.

Blues have nominated Rice.

Re: Bailey Rice?
I don't see how Carlton can get Rice unless they are prepared to use pick 19 - which seems unlikely.
After that they would have to use 59 + 60 which only gets them 304 points which means we can outbid them with our pick 45 (347 points).
What would make things really interesting is if another club calls his name from 30-35. If that happens he doesn't end up with us OR the Blues.

Re: Bailey Rice?
Blues have nominated him, as have we, and he's indicated a preference for us. We get first right of refusal.Bunk_Moreland wrote:Only if we drop out or don't match.Mr Magic wrote:How do they nominate him now, before the draft?satchmo wrote:Blues have nominated Rice.
If at draft time they bid pick 19 for him they will most likely get him. Anyone else bids after that we are in box seat.
Re: Bailey Rice?
If he's worth pick 14 and we bid it for him, and they don't match with 19, kiss him goodbye in 1 year anyway.Playon wrote:Maybe we can return the favour and nominate Silvagni, whats he worth?

Re: Bailey Rice?
One of plugger's illegitimate sons (allegedly) played in Dingley's recent premiership team. There's more than one, apparently. Why does the great man have four "legitimate" daughters? Again, nature and the universe conspire against the saints.Rosco wrote:If they renamed it father-illegitimate son we may have been in with a go.
