Bluemour Melting Pot XX - Snark Free Zone

[HARKER]

Actually today was vastly different. A trade was done, compared to yesterday where absolutely nothing happened.
Sure the trade didn't involve us at all, but 1 trade (a 3 way) is a lot more than 0.

The period is way too long.

How long should it be though?
I feel it could start on a Tuesday or Wednesday and close shop on the Monday night.

The weekend just allows a cooling-off period of sorts for players and clubs.........and then bang on the Monday.

 

[Navara79]

Two weeks of this shit and they want to extend it? Wow just wow.

No one is forcing you to be so invested in the trade period. Have a snickers

 

[myblueroan]

Can we just ban anyone who talks about trading fish for the next week?

What about crustaceans though? Asking for a crabby friend.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

I reckon the AFL have a major stake in bigfooty....and trade fortnight is their cash cow.

 

[Curnivore]

Since the rumour was started by a poster who has made up rumours for attention the last three trade periods, it's amazing how much everyone jumped on it.

No it wasn't.

 

[Team DJ]

AFL want to be on the back page of the paper for a few extra days.
They aren't shortening the trade period. If anything it'll get extended

 

[Arr0w]

Who give a stuff how long the trades take, it ends Wednesday

Surely no one is worried about missing a game

I think 4-5 days is plenty.
But to make sure everybody has plenty of time, I would move the initial meeting to the Friday at the start of the Free Agency Period. No trades happen on the first day anyway. Then everybody can hit the ground running on the Monday morning when it starts. Run it through to either the Thursday night or the Friday afternoon.

Some idiot on Trade Radio wants to trade Charlie to the Dogs

I’ll take a bont thanks

 

[JoeyPBLUES]

What's he actually done. Bonar Looking like a bust at this stage.

2 knees i think and f-all else

 

[BIuebagger]

It’s not the length of trade period that annoys me. It’s the league thinking it needs to introduce another week before the season in addition to it. The World game has 3 month transfer windows because they can, it involves hundreds and hundreds of clubs and players. We are a 18 team league and deal within ourselves. It’s ridiculous, Hocking is clueless. 10 days of clubs talking to one another and wheeling and dealing is more than enough.

The smarter operators will get more done and get the better deals done.
The longer things go, the more the poorer operators find a way of sticking their nose in, where it doesn't belong.

I like the idea of the shorter and more active period.

I think 4-5 days is plenty.

Then everybody can hit the ground running on the Monday morning when it starts. Run it through to either the Thursday night or the Friday afternoon.

The weekend in between would add a lot to the 'drama' as there's no more padding thereafter.
You're either in or you're out come Monday morning.

 

[Eiffel 65]

We still in the market for Bonar?

Will be a 3rd year player and either provide support for Cripps in the midfield or allow someone like Cuningham to move up the ground on ball.

Adds much needed pace to our team.

Doro?

 

[SurreyBlue]

Anyone wanting to trade Charlie isn’t a Carlton supporter. Don’t be fooled.

 

[ferrisb]

We are giving next year’s 4th rounder.

Eddie Betts for pick 72!!!

[Opine]

Blues still interested in Butler? that’s good. I hope he lands and PP; have a good vibe about that kid.

Dougal Howard is a VERY promising player.

Not sure what happened with him at Port. Saints look to be acquiring some good players.
