Boak is still a significantly better player than about the bottom 10 players on our list.
He is much, much more useful than Jackson who can barely get on the park let alone put up the performances that 40 year old Boak was offering last year.
Although I'd probably delist Charleson over Jackson, but if it's Jackson I don't care that much. There are a million Hugh Jacksons playing in the CTL or SANFL u18s, most of which can probably get in the park occasionally.
One year of Ratkins = pick 29. Its actually very simple to understand why that is helpful. Also, Ratkins is taking Narkle spot, not a young player.Regardless, what are we getting for taking boak from 370 to 390 games ? What’s the payoff? Warm fuzzy feelings?
We’ve got a limited ability to bring in young talent over the next 2 years after 3 or so years of bringing in a very limited amount of young talent.
Having Ratkins on the list and pumping an extra 20 games into boak and cutting 2 juniors / taking few picks into a supposedly deep draft we were so suddenly desperate to get into …
does that sound like a logical decision?
Disagree strongly, kid has x factor, unfortunately injury ridden. Would of loved to see him get a chance.Jackson strikes me as a poor man's Mead, and Mead sucks. No loss if we delist him.
I'd love to hear his reasoning for going on. I still think he's in our best 25 but you'd think he might have the self-awareness to move into coaching. Because from the outside it looks like he's putting himself ahead of the team.Regardless, what are we getting for taking boak from 370 to 390 games ? What’s the payoff? Warm fuzzy feelings?

I'm going to put you on ignore now because 1) I understand a helluva lot more about the intricacies of the situation than you, and 2) I'm sick of you arguing about the same bloody viewpoints just from a tiny different angle.
We are oil and water on this and that is perfectly ok. Go and argue with someone who actually gives a shit.
It wouldn't have been Houstons defence, the club and its lawyer would have been entirely responsible.Houston’s self-sabotaging defence of that incident was probably a sign he had mentally checked out already.
Are we saying the same for Pendlebury, or Sidebottom etc. He has earned the right to call his time.I'd love to hear his reasoning for going on. I still think he's in out best 25 but you'd think he might have the self-awareness to move into coaching. Because from the outside it looks like he's putting himself ahead of the team.
I don't think its great for culture but he's probably encouraged to play on by Stinkers.

The payoff is also pretty simple with Boak. We have like three wings on our list, and one of them is 19. He will play games next year.
Yeah, nahhhh…Jackson strikes me as a poor man's Mead, and Mead sucks. No loss if we delist him.
Just about everyone who has any information on this trade has said taking on Ratkins salary netted us 29.What?
You have no evidence that we got pick 29 to take ratkins on, and even if true, that just makes an insanely pissweak trade even worse.
Ratkins isn’t taking narkles spot. Narkkes was getting delisted anyway. He was never offered a contract and he never would have been.
It’s one less draft pick we can take or the delisting of a junior we might of held onto.
im also unsure why our fan base is so scared of having to play developing players and where this idea comes from that teams around the league manage to birth 22-30 afl ready players into existence and not, you know, just give games to developing players…
Besides, if we gave less games to boak last year (or any other soon to be finished player ahem mcintee) and more to developing players we would have achieved the exact amount of success as we did anyway. Which is zero.
I agree with that too - I wouldn't be keen on delisting him though.Are we saying the same for Pendlebury, or Sidebottom etc. He has earned the right to call his time.
Buttkiss means nothing, you Millennial Gen Zer.
He gave his own testimony and it was embarrassing. I agree though that the obvious lack of coaching from club lawyer as to what Houston should have said is yet another stain on the place.It wouldn't have been Houstons defence, the club and its lawyer would have been entirely responsible.
Jackson can't kick. He won't make it. I would delist and move to rookie spot. If he was uncontracted I would delist.Disagree strongly, kid has x factor, unfortunately injury ridden. Would of loved to see him get a chance.
I thought that the story was the salary dump got our two later picks upgraded. 58 to 50 and 39 to 36.Just about everyone who has any information on this trade has said taking on Ratkins salary netted us 29.
Do you really think we got him for his footballing ability? Christ
Our young players would look a lot better if they were allowed in the gym.
I must be watching wrong sanfl games, his left foot is pretty good.Jackson can't kick. He won't make it. I would delist and move to rookie spot. If he was uncontracted I would delist.
