if saints get soldo why not throw a huge offer at rowan marshall

what about
marshall, phillipou for F1, Butts, ROB

They’ll laugh at us so hard they might fall over.

 

[Draft Bored]

Oh I know it's been done, but I wonder how common it is. It's stated like it's done every year, but that hasn't been my recollection.

It happens every year there's a high end academy kid.

• Brisbane needing to trade out this year.
• GC needing to trade out last year.
• WBD needing to trade out the Uglehagan year.

[DangerSloane]

LOL .....nothing about trash talking, nothing about stifling outgoing players .....you simply exaggerated a player being told not to celebrate when the teams losing, and adding a truckload of mayo

No Coach wants an individual to celebrate a goal, when the teams losing .....sheesh !

Care to explain our constant ignoring of any players with anything but spotless skin and behavioural records?

You might be right about this, but it is ABSOLUTELY CLEAR that we never have the best playing list as we are looking for 'good people' over good players.

That's a fair assessment ....was a factor with Stengle ....stopped us getting Dusty Martin

I've always been a fan of having one bad boy in the team .....it was a fervent belief of Sheedy, to this very day

 

[GreyCrow]

Apologies for an attempted humoured post.

I missed it then didnt care - different things

Back to discussing how we robbed with 'Keays not hitting the post last year' for 10 more pages in this thread.

Sure spot a post of mine where I argue for or against on this

 

[GreyCrow]

No we tell Dodson, to suck it up for a year or so and that he’ll want to come back and play for the mighty AFC soon.

And like it

 

[MarcusP2]

Lol we tried to pay Martin 10 million and he said no.

 

[Cromulant]

Lol we tried to pay Martin 10 million and he said no.

And that was 8 years ago, a HUGE amount of money.

 

[LoBu]

Lol we tried to pay Martin 10 million and he said no.

Richmond were shopping Martin around years before that tho, no takers.

 

[Cromulant]

Richmond were shopping Martin around years before that tho, no takers.

Had one and a half feet in at the Giants and they pulled their offer

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Correct ....we said no early ....only team remotely interested was GWS ....and they ultimately backed out of any Martin discussions

We give up on Stengle and he goes on to be All-Australian. Perfect example.
We have never invested in anyone even close to the line, let alone beyond it.

Someone like Dustin Martin or Toby Greene we will never recruit or target and its an amateur way of operating.

 

[MarcusP2]

So Martin's manager was lying when we said we offered him a contract in mid 2017?

Well we did offer him a way back, he just didn't take it.

 

[WheresGroomgone]

Kane Johnson?

He requested a trade home to Victoria and that was 22 years ago.

We didn’t give up on Stengel

We wanted to add behavioural clauses in his new contract which he rejected

Geelong offered a deal with not behavioural clauses so he departed

If there was no rival offer, he would have stayed

The stuff being talked about here was prior to 2017.

Geelong's masterstroke was getting Betts on the books for a couple of seasons to help settle him in

And sometimes when people fallout with their employer or are jaded they just need a fresh start

 

[footy4ever]

Lol we tried to pay Martin 10 million and he said no.

How many times does it have to be pointed out that Martin himself said the shortfall in $$ offered by Richmond would be made up by other financial opportunity by playing in Melbourne? He went where the money was.

 

[Chances Are]

Jesus Christ. If we swap 25 for ANB and Dodson is there at that pick, I’d never forgive the club.

All this talk about being aggressive and we trade out a decent pick in an amazing draft for a 29 year old role player.

Great.

I've said this before with a draft like this and an older bloke like ANB at 29 his real value is a late 3rd to early 4th rounder. If they use 25 they're totally stupid and inept.

 

[WheresGroomgone]

Modra


On SM-G996B using BigFooty.com mobile app

So Modra 1999, Johnson 2002, and BV in 2013, are there others?

Clearly showing we have not been anywhere near active enough in trading out when we should.

 

[Coopers]

Surely heads roll if we land ANB only. You can't talk that way and come out with a packed of chips (original).

Course we can, we did it last year.

 

[crow2crow]

Because he'll play in front of Soldo.

he wanted to leave try to wedge him out

 

[Cromulant]

he wanted to leave try to wedge him out

Well that ain't gonna happen
