[Mr Blicavs]

That just shows the total lack of class you have

Once again..... I don't give a shit what you think.

 

[STPer18]

It's still 13 picks behind 22
There's an awful lot to of good talent that will pass between those two picks


Pick 35 or GAGF

Agreeing. Was saying that pick 35 is a 2nd round pick, given the circumstances seems more than fair. But we will see. Pick 19 and 22 to the draft surely.

 

[nananana catman]

Not sure how you drew the conclusion I'd be happy to give up Duncan or Cockatoo. Was making the point that both teams knew Ablett was wanting to come here at least 12 months ago, so something could have been sorted by then. The fact we're hearing that there's meeting going on when there are only 24 hours left of trade period is amazing given all the time they had to work it out. Maybe we tried and they weren't cooperating, but it's a strange set of circumstances. Compare this to the Dangerfield trade that both teams knew about earlier and knocked over in a few minutes.

The point I am making is that if the other club is making unrealistic demands what can we do? We either wait it out (as we seem to be doing) or buckle and pay overs....

Dangerfield scenario is totally different. Out of Contract and in his prime.

Still too much.

Cheers for clarifying.

 

[Zeroman]

Let Ablett retire.
I'd rather keep our good picks.

To clarify I mean all three of our top picks we should keep - 19, 22, & 35.
Let him retire and come to the club to coach.

 

[fpm84]

Still too much.

35 in a shallow draft, when he have two picks ahead of it, is adequate.

 

[Sttew]

If Lang goes to Carlton or GC he'll get a fair few games mainly because they're crap and he'd become close to best 22. Not so at a stronger club.

Particularly now that Carlton has opened discussions with Adelaide on Bryce Gibbs

 

[Mr Blicavs]

Still too much.

I'm trying to be flexible.........I did offer to throw in Stanley as part of the deal as well.
I agree it's too high, but it's obvious it's not going to get done at a price I'd be happy with.

If it were up to me.......late pick and a spud like Stanley or Murdoch, or nothing.
Why do we have to get bent over to get Ablett home? I know it's appealing to the romanticists, but don't owe him squat!

 

[Zeroman]

How about in 2019 we then get Gary and Nathan in the team for free and sit them in the goalsquare.
I'll hold up the clothesline in the third row so they feel young.

 

[Larry Donohue]

Surely he should have retired and we could have got him under the Hodge ruling

 

[Spazz Cat]

Weird definition of **** up.

Using your definition I’ll say it was a **** up for Wells to say we’d be happy to keep him!

Maybe. It would seem rather strange when you know your losing Motlop you are completely non fussed about keeping one of the only other outside players you have.
That is a **** up for mine. Strange list management.
Lang was happy at Geelong and even turned down a Carlton trade last year.
Also turned down GC this year.
We don't want to keep him and tried to trade him to the Gold Coast.
We don't want him & unless his as shit as you think he is it's a very very strange decision.

 

[HaroLad]

Not how it works.

Hodge is OOC I'm pretty sure too.

 

[DangerHere]

If it were up to me.......late pick and a spud like Stanley or Murdoch, or nothing.

Perfect

 

[strauchnyy]

35 in a shallow draft, when he have two picks ahead of it, is adequate.

I disagree.

The chance at getting a player is more valuable to me than someone who is limping at the absolute twilight of his career. 35 is still not a bad pick, there will be good players around that mark and thats where Wells does his best work.

Ablett is worth a speculative pick at best. Just like Lewis, Mitchell, SJ and Chappy. We are helping him and GC.

 

[STPer18]

The point I am making is that if the other club is making unrealistic demands what can we do? We either wait it out (as we seem to be doing) or buckle and pay overs....

Agree. Just bemused that it has gone down to the deadline of the trade period considering the fact Ablett wanted out was made public at the beginning of the year. Surely this posturing could have been avoided, it wasn't like it was a surprise to the Gold Coast.

 

[Sticksman]

Stanley is contracted. Try again.

 

[r32godzilla]

Cant believe people are will to pass on Ablett. He is a legend and proven matchwinner. If he helps us win the flag next year its all worth it. I like his chances vs some 1st year draft pick who may or may not amount to anything.

As for Lang couldnt really care less. He has had enough chances and rarely plays two good games in a row. Dont need players like that.

 

[you pick one]

To clarify I mean all three of our top picks we should keep - 19, 22, & 35.
Let him retire and come to the club to coach.

If you don't at least offer 35 you are in essence shiting on him and then expect him to come and help coaching

 

[BORIS332]

Barrett reporting Thurlow potentially in the mix for the Ablett trade.

WTF ???

Do not like .....

 

[thecatattack]

Ablett is still ****ing elite. He still averaged 33 touches this season.
