Mega Thread 2018 Trade Period Discussion part 2! (cont. in Part 3 - link in OP)

[hey shorty]

All our picks and next years probably still wont be enough to get 2 and 3..... but go on JR have a crack.

Why the hell not.

Why is when selling the farm, Mackay is never part of any discussion.

 

[Murray2503]

I think they can but Port probably just made an enemy.

Already the China stuff GC weren't happy about and now this can't see them even wanting to deal with Port

Gc would expect it from 17 clubs. Unlikely rankine and luko would want to go to that mess down the road.

This Klan?

 

[RePete]

Not a fan of trading pick 16 for a 3-pick upgrade on 8. Unless it nets us pick 2/3 for Luk/Rankine then not worth it. Unless they chuck in pick 32 & 44 for a Haggis special

Both Crows supporters they clearly want to get to the crows. Only gonna end up with 1 though I think

Nice article from JJ about what it was like for him during trade week as a player - http://www.espn.com.au/afl/story/_/id/24983744/afl-trade-period-josh-jenkins-players-go-through

1 this year

Rankine is a massive flight risk. Even the Vic clubs won’t recruit him. Not sure why GC think they’re any different.

 

[Mismatched]

All the scuttlebuck keeps building momentum, this may happen

Happy for it to be true, but wasn’t Shouter a BigFooty piss take account? Essentially either re-reported or went deliberately against other Twitter accounts for fun...

2 minus before Motlop signed with Port, pretty sure he stated that Motlop was absolutely coming to the crows.

You're wrong, Horseflee is correct. Unfolds.

 

[Houston]

Scrimshaw to Hawthorn too?
Poor Gold Coast. This system is ******

He met with Clarkson for coffee weeks ago.

Not sure how many times it needs to be said but JR is not the decision maker on trades or list management.

There is a committee that makes a decision for the AFC.............JR is the mouth piece for those decisions.

Does that mean we're getting Scully?

Hes the chief negotiator.

IF we decide to do it that is.

 

[jenny61_99]

Who says "scuttlebuck"?

 

[Big Gazoongas]

Being the negotiator does not make him the decision maker, and he's not.

At least get your facts right if you want to pot someone.

And yet you use the word "we" which implies the AFC.......we is not JR.

You are dead set wrong on this one.

 

[rezagun]

David Noble come on down....

Stop teasing and give us more meat

Im pretty sure it was too, it was cutting and pasting jokes from our board on its account.

I actually thought it may have been a Crows poster.

 

[skittlebrew]

Even if we managed to get pick 5 and GC take the king Brothers aren't we still up sheet creek a bit?

Saints want a King but if he isn't there will take Luko? Unless they get Patton and take a mid instead?

Christ that's ugly!!

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

from who?

basing this assumption based on Cripps and Ried's public comments on brimhing

I agree .....think Chad & Port have burn't their bridges

Interesting, that the general consensus is Chad leaving, all because of his exit interview

IMO Chad is a player that 1. needs a bit of love, and 2. is not 24/7 indulged by footy

I sense that Chad doesn't eat at breathe everything PAFC and this has created a perception at Port that he is not all in on the cause and as a result he was heavily criticised by Hinkley

I also heard Kane say earlier in the week that Chad, Polec and Jasper do not do everything the club would like to do off the field and this is a key reason for them being offered up for trade, my counter argument with this is that Port should be focused more on what happens on the field

for me the bigger issue is that for all the players that they purchased last year not one of the 2017 Trade / FA bunch finished in the top 10 of their B&F, this is a bigger issue that they created and trading out Polec and Wingard doesn't fix this IMO
