2023 Trade Time Talk - Henley Beach Café Returns

[jo172]

I get the feeling he's lazy (in relative terms) in the offseason.

Always seems to struggle early and then play his best football in the last 6-8 weeks of the year.

Was also one of the ones singled out by the coaches for slacking off during the Covid layoff in 2020 (along with Frampton).

On the other hand we've selected him to start the year the last two years (including ahead of TT) which would tend to suggest the contrary.

With Himmelberg he reminds me a fair bit of Shaun McKernan. Good enough to be depth and play and give a decent account of himself 10 times a year (including a handful of games a year where he might play a significant role in winning the match). Asking him to do much more is pointless.

It’s funny isn’t it

Brisbane keeping trade news on the downlow during finals

Ports couldn’t get enough news out there when they needed to concentrate on other things

Had to distract people from their terrible on field performances

 

[GameofSloanes]

We’ll give him away for virtually nothing

Agree, looks like a list management dump

And Smack had a 12 year career doing that. The problem will always come down to how much you're paying them to fill that role though.

 

[Sanders]

For someone we don't like he has signed 3 two year main list extensions since we drafted him in 2016.

And?

I'm not sure we will. We think we're contending and they'd value him as depth that will need to be replaced. Will depend on Chol I suppose, but if that falls through, I see them driving a reasonably hard bargain.

If you consider a pick circa in the 50’s a hard bargain, then sure

Pick 50....

I reckon we'll keep him if that's what's on offer.

Fair. I’m a fan, I’d like to keep him unless we have good reason not to

 

[1970crow]

As long as we can replace him with what we get, we'll definitely do it. But I can't see us starting 2024 with only Strachan as AFL ready tall depth.

 

[Geoffa32]

Internally I reckon the club like EH.

Won't just give him away.

I can't see the point unless there is some sort of replacement coming in

Not sure we'll get that much more him this year with a year to run on his contract as we would next year .. which I doubt would be that much anyway

This time next week Trade time kicks off.

We'll see who get's it right from the poll

Burgess' game for Gold Coast yesterday was good

That utter garbage started last week didnt it?

Nah was just the launch of it I think.

 

[Bearded Clam]

It should be launched alright..

Launched off the nearest cliff.

 

[Crow till I die]

It should be launched alright..

Launched off the nearest cliff.

Or it may be better to have it limited to a 5 minute segment once per week just before the 5.00pm Friday afternoon news as that should cover off on all the info they would stretch out for a week anyway.

My bad I was using the Trade Radio date's.......
When all the 'rumours' and talk starts and we may finally have an idea on Mr Dood ay

 

[conVINCEd]

Free Agency starts Friday 6 October.

Anyone against Gresham?

He seems destined for the Bombers in a free agency rort we weren’t allowed to implement but despite no rules changes in the meantime Vic clubs will be able to leverage.

However, he’s a decent player and would add nicely to our mid/forward group.

Not really. Would prefer free agency compensation for Doedee.

That kind of summarises why free agency comp is ridiculous.

What, you don't enjoy spending hours hearing the same Tyrepower ad being played every 5 minutes on repeat?

I just long for that experience each year.

It's basically just a feedback loop of us all posting crap here on BF while they sit there and read said crap and regurgitate it on Trade Radio which we all then listen to and post crap about it on BF.
