Bluemour Melting Pot XXI - Like seriously, the polar ice caps have got nothing on us

[DangerousD]

What, like when Dodo refused a pick from Richmond and let Houli go to the PSD

That was many years ago, what a disaster that was, i can't remember the knock on Houli back then.

2 polsons would be handy......

Ones enough. To prefer to have him on our list instead of Butler I’ll never understand

 

[SurreyBlue]

It’s all about Flanders, Stephens or Henry with pick 9 now and PSD pick 3 Martin. We will do well.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

He was up for grabs for anyone really. We wouldn’t commit to him.

He took a ****ing Saints guernsey on holidays with him. He nominated St Kilda.

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Holy shit, now we failed because we didn't recruit a Richmond reserves player.

Yet we all get an email from the club heralding the arrival of Pittonet!

 

[choo]

I would have a crack at Bennell

Agree. Put a poll on Twitter. Trust Jack and Eddie

 

[thylacine60]

from the teague train to the sos trainwreck, hard to believe we’ve stuffed this up so badly.

ok, I'll bite - how so?

 

[FRUMPY]

The AFL don't want restraint of trade murmurings to get going. This whole draft set up is a house of cards. That's why uncontracted players are not forced to stay and why other clubs let them slide to the club they originally nominated.

I'm 75/25 that Martin will get to us if he goes into the PSD.

Hell, Gold Coast may even delist him now that they made their silly point.

Depending on what we can offer him for next year, if we have the room, 90/10 I reckon. (900k+) no way GC or Melb match that without an agreement to sign an extension

Only way would be if Martin cracks the shits with us and agrees to a deal with GC or Melb but I doubt it and reckon we will get him

I have a feeling that it will be a long time before we deal with GC again.

back to dealing with port Adelaide and Adelaide again

 

[Opine]

No but someone else who doesn't know shit said he was available for pick 9..........

And Port let Nick Stevens go to the PSD after refusing a pick and player from Collingwood.

GC may be happy to lose Martin for nothing to Melbourne I’d say. ‘Teach clubs a lesson’.

Therefore if that’s true the only way to stop that is have to price him out of GC market. 1-2 years on a fortune.

Check in with Melbourne if they intend to match, them give them a sweet deal if they do (Eg: 9 and 43 for 8 and we wont
Take the player you want at 8).

Feels like there are a million ways for us to still get Martin.

Alternate:

Do a pick deal in GC favour so they don’t offer him a contract and DFa him.

I’d say they will work it out and we will get him. Technically the trading options continue for ages for an uncontracted player.

 

[ferrisb]

Damn you dodo and Cameron. I so wanted to trade pick 4 for Stocker, Papley and Martin!

Would have made it to the upper echelon of all-time wheeling and dealing.

 

[DEliades]

Even daisy is trolling us - not great IMO

 

[HyphensBack]

Not impressed with our haul but would have been upset if we overpaid for Martin
Still a chance in PSD but won't be shattered if we miss Martin
SOS and team gets a tick from me on this one - Martin has not demonstrated a 6 pick 1st rd downgrade nor more

Would have been over the moon if we pulled off the Papley trade but thought * may put this one on ice
Can't blame SOS and team for this - only ever going to happen if Swans could get Daniher

AFL screwed us over on the Rabbit and Dodoro screwed us on Papley, Martin let's see what happens but not fussed

 

[ajs071]

Sam gray is still in play. If he gets delisted we can pick
Him up as DFA, add pick 9 and Martin in PSD. Easy

Don't mean you, but others say papley was available if we offered pick 9 which both clubs have refuted

Papley was picked up in the rookie draft at Sydney when Agresta was their recruiting manager, who's to say Agresta can't find us a diamond in the rough this year? The three we picked up post draft/trade period last year are already 10x the ones we picked up previous to that. Gibbons is a gun, DeLuca has shown something atleast, Cottrell is an exciting prospect also.

I carry a saints jumper with me wherever I go. Rags a handy for spills or if you need to put something between your shoes and your clothes in a suitcase.

Just like we get a notification when we pick up an AFLW player or a new coach. It's called communication.

You used to be funny. Do some funny.

 

[Iamcarlton]

Psd, draft delisted free agents...hold ur powder

Longshot to improve the list through these avenues unless Martin falls to us in the PSD which I highly doubt and this is a rarity .
We traded down our first pick this year to specifically trade it for a quality player ATM that has been a failure .
We've banked a war chest over 4 years and now have nobody to spend it on another failure .
We dumped Thomas I imagine because we assumed we were bringing in quality this equals failure .
If that cap space weve banked does expire this year then this trade period becomes a monumental failure imo .

BUTLER is a fricken DECK CHAIR.Time to make the 8 not fill in holes would not get a game in our side please people.

Do you know enough to elaborate on the concept of restraint of trade? Did the GC show a restraint of trade by not trading Martin when a fair deal was offered or would they face a restraint of trade if they picked up Martin in the PSD if he openly stated he didn't want to go there?

How does it work?
