Ultimate Glory 2023 Trade speculation and Shinbeggars discussion

[Flawed Genius]

Please take him. Don't play him forward. Noble tried it down in Tassie one arvo and it worked as well as a chocolate dildo. He's big and dumb but occasionally ends up standing right where the ball will land. By signing him you will also up the amount of players on your list who can do a podcast that isn't very good. I say all this with love

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Fk off. He's going to Freo for Henry.
Brocky better not dictate terms to us.

Honestly, players should not be able to dictate where they go

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Or 193cm...depending on what day it is...

But not short lol

North supporters had the same sentiment with Hale

Hale was a ruck/fwd, not a KPD. I also don't remember him doing any podcasts so you might be right on that score

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

I still reckon Gresham to us is done although I read with interest, StKilda saying they want to keep him.
My mail re Gresham has been strong for some time. Things do change. Ross was keen for Gresham to be traded six months ago, however they do have a new List Manager and recruiting consultancy.

Hopefully the saints have made Gresham feel so unwelcome that bridge was blown up months ago.

Player deserve a day, hopefully Brocky tells the eagles to pay a fair price or consider freo

It still irks me how little we received in compensation for Brad Hill when he left.

Add to that the fact we're literally paying most of O'Meara's wage - and it's about time they started returning the favour!

Trade Croad
Get Hodge
Croad comes back

Remind me never to give out your number when a potential employer is after a reference check!

 

[Lickmesocks]

No he doesn’t. The obsession with trading for big name players every year is ridiculous. Let’s keep building through the draft for another year or two, pick up some free agents and bargain trades then let’s see where we are at.

Yes he does chief. Time to deliver.

The chocolate dildo part might struggle in HR these days.

It's what most of them seem to be sitting on when I get hauled in for my weekly visit...

Pretty hard to deliver too much when it seems that Esava is the pick of the potential players who are requesting a trade.
The free agent list is very underwhelming too

 

[excitingnews]

I really do hope we end up being able to trade brockman to freo, cannot stand eagles fans trying to talk tough about offering absurd unders while threatening to somehow walk both Dev Robertson and Brockman to the pre season draft.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Big Ben makes sense. Dgb ain't never gonna be a kpd and blanck has limitations and at worse a very handy back up for injuries , suspensions etc..
Rata one is a bit bewildering but Sam seems to be building a very strong bodies side , mids, frwds, backs all Sem strong in the core types who are also athletic and be used in different positions when needed that might be a good reason for us going after rata.
Get Gresham as a FA and our off season looks really good.
As I mentioned a couple days a go, just can't see the draft capital to land both Henry and Smith. We shouldn't be bending for wce re- brocky either . Pick in the 30's seems way unders. Somehow turn that pick into Henry plus a sweetner third or something.

Has anyone here actually watched Liam Henry or just had a look at stats from a couple of his games? I feel there’s some massive over rating going on. Happy to throw it out there that brocky will be a much, much better footballer than henry but somehow we’re throwing in extra picks for him?

I don't particularly rate Henry and would rather we use Brockman to upgrade a pick (Brockman and 29 for WCE's 19 for example).

Reality is Brockman has not shown the same ability at AFL level that Henry has. He's shown classy flashes, and that's it.

His first season he averaged just under 9 touches and less than a goal a game. He didn't play his second season, and his third season he averaged just under 12 touches and less than a goal a game.

Brockman hasn't taken any large steps in his development at AFL level as yet (or at least it hasn't translated into better performances) and is still just untapped potential.

 

[TazHawk15]

Honestly? McKay for nothing is alright. It's the fact he's constantly talked up as a superstar and will likely net North Pick 3 that irritates me.

How do you rate him against Chip Frawley, since he netted Melbourne pick 3

 

[Lickmesocks]

There is plenty of fish in the sea.

The 5mill over 7 year stuff for Esava must be BS.

 

[excitingnews]

What’s the go with Henry? Seem to remember him being drafted as a small forward, was he not getting a crack in that position at freo or not playing well?

 

[TDS7]

Honestly, players should not be able to dictate where they go

Brocky isn't dictating where the club he's going to.

"I want to go to WA"

"I am happy to play for WCE, and have agreed terms should I end up there"

If he only wanted to go to WC he would have said that.
