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

You're sounding like dead horse.

No he's not. He was given some information and he's passed it on, clearly concisely and without any ambiguity. Doesn't matter if it ends up being true, he's sharing what he was told for others to do with it what they will.

Cheers Freshj

 

[Freshj]

Will we only trade up for Luko or would we go for a Rozee/Smith-type as well?

All good if you didn’t find that out

Sorry mate, I dont know. I'd love a rozee or smith on the list though. I'd be happy paying overs too, especially to get a local talent like rozee.

True deadhorse stated it as fact.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

So why GC basically giving players away?

Would be pretty handy if we could get Rankine for a 3rd pick in a couple years time.

 

[GROTTO]

I dont agree much with Lloyd but he is spot on when he says the Suns are the worst list in AFL history.

They could be in for some frightful beatings next year.

Thing is they dont have blind dead zombie supporters like Carlton that will believe any shit the Club spins out.

We might end up seeing sub 10k supporters turn up to a game regularly at Metricon.

If we dont get them and the Suns take them at picks 2 and 3, they would be easier to get with lesser value picks in a couple of years time.

 

[Bicks]

Agreed surely we could swap Kelly to Collingwood, pick 51 to GCS and KK to us

Not going to happen with today's re-signing of Flynn Appleby for a further 2 years,

Haha I get the red horse comparison. I actually gave the horse the benefit of the doubt early, but yeah full of shit.

 

[Samcro24]

Unfortunatly that's all the info I got. Rankine isnt a high priority for us. But yeah, baffles me really. He has all the talent, we have some great mentor types at the club. It doesnt make a whole heap of sense but they are the ones doing the legwork and know best

When his instagram was posted on here a while back I remember thinking that it didnt really scream the type of player we like.

Not saying its right or wrong, and this is all superficial based off just a couple of posts, but thats the vibe I got.

(Said posts seem to have been deleted, so maybe theres something to it)

 

[Vader]

Consider it goodwill. We’re unlikely to use either 68 or 72, whereas whatever we give them will be an active pick.

Other than to be difficult, no reason to not give them 68. Don’t it would carry much currency for any other deals.

That would make sense, if we hadn't traded specifically to get #68 only 2 hours before doing the Stengle deal. There has to be a reason why we needed both 68 & 72, presumably another pick swap in the offing. We just don't have enough information to see the bigger picture right now.

 

[NTRabbit]

Are we done? Finishing up Stengle makes me think we're done

 

[Runnin Blue]

Sorry mate, cant give much away, just that it's generally reliable. Who knows what happens man, things change, but you would think most of the draft preferences would be locked in, now just down to who's available.

Not calling you a liar, but you said you were told that there would be a “flurry of activity” yesterday.

Yesterday was boring as batshit.

 

[Crowbots are dead]

He's requested a trade back to us, after his rookie contract is up and we could technically get him as a DFA in the draft. Didnt use 72, so there's probably something else in the works at this stage. It's just an odd process for such a nothing trade, that's all.

Yeah I guess. Richmond had a contract in front of him for 2 years so they must rate him. They didn’t have any intention of delisting him .

Dont remember seeing them myself. Who knows. I dont want to speculate about off field issues, hes young and it's probably not fair. But like it's been mentioned, we have to back in the recruitment team to make the right call

TBH we dont have enough information to see the bigger picture till the 2019 season.

Remember it was this time last year that Port got an A+ for their "Holy Trinity" in "Whats, Slops and Rocks". Once the season started to play out we got to see first hand how bad that decision was, which caused massive collateral damage with them losing players this month now.

Polec is better than all those 3 players.

Wingard when in form is also better than all those 3 players.

Its been a massive Power choke.

Haha that was a dig at a few post before by maybe horseflee? I just made a general sweeping statement. I neglected to include a winky face.

 

[Deaneus!]

GC definitely selected the wrong mature players to mentor the younger players, so that's a list selection problem.

see Ablett, Gary Jr

An amazing player and a terrible captain & leader

Thats offensive, I try hard with my posting with gifs and memes.

Well he did complain to his local KFC so I'd agree

Seems like Gaza did the opposite of what was hoped and segregated the playing group with bible study

It wasnt anything bad, just the vibe it gave off.

I reckon he will end up rocking a couple of sleeves, whereas we perfer the short back and sides types.

Selfish.

He backed out of a lot of body to body contests when playing for the Suns.

Terrible bf too. Ask Lauren Phillips.

Ah, fair enough. I missed the context.

 

[pjcrows]

I've heard people say it mate and I was skeptical, but had it confirmed today. Unfortunately it is the case. I dont know what the issue is, but crows aren't crazy about him. Take it or leave it

Well I've had the opposite confirmed, so there ya go.
