I have to say I agree, re: trading Jack at years end. I know this is going to be highly controversial, but I believe it would be win-win if we could offload Jack to GWS. We could get a couple of high first round draft picks and they would have a forward and a marquee player. We need to make some bold moves if we are going to be serious about this re-build. We could add another gun midfieder and gun KPP which we desperately need (yes, more than a gun FF!!). No point trading a good midfelder to pick up another midfielder in the draft. We don't need a gun FF at this stage in our development, we need a better midfield, KPP's and a ruck.
There is no way we should trade Jack Riewoldt.
No way.
Mids are dime-a-dozen. I would prefer to trade Deledio, Foley, etc before Riewoldt. People have short memories about how good this guy is.
I love the way supporters on here are so quick to love him when he wins a coleman, then jump all over him when he's having a rough trot, theres no doubt he has attitude problems, but that can be fixed, but............ HE'S BEEN INJURED FOR A MONTH NOW!!!! Thanks to gus in a training run he has a couple of cracked ribs, yet is STILL leading the coleman. He's a star. Time now that the season is over that he rehabs before it gets any worse.
Very close this. . Cue is close to the rack
Oh, yeah, that's right, it's the supporters' fault for not remembering him being a great player. He's an idea: Jack Riewoldt can go out there and show us!
He is fast becoming Richo MKII. His overinflated ego prevents him from doing the team thing and is making him a liability on match day. If he is injured, he shouldn't be playing. It is an indictment on Riewoldt for wanting to play, the selection panel for selecting him when he is obviously not right, and Damien Hardwick for allowing him to play. Harden the **** up and take charge Dimma.
[L]ets trade the bloke he's a spud, great idea.
No, a "spud" is someone you delist - we've delisted enough of them that you should be more than familiar with that by now; Jack Riewoldt is not a spud (in fact, nobody has said he is) but he does have currency, and, with the picks we could get for him, we could begin to build the solid midfield / ruck division that we so sorely lack. The other thing is that Riewoldt may in fact benefit from being at another club where he would be surrounded by a few wise heads who can put him in his place, and not see him carry on like a bit of a prat.
JR#8 said:Struggled to kick further than 45M yesterday. Also, I really can't stand watching him with his shitty arse body language when things are going shit.
Not the sort of thing that should be openly discussed on a public board really but lets just say he probably shouldnt have played the past 4 weeks IMHO. That said lets trade the bloke he's a spud, great idea. Seriously this board is getting incapable of generating sensible discussion at times. Last week Deledio this week Riewoldt...we are all pissed off with the current form but FFS lets inject some footy nouse in here occassionally please!
Do you suspect that perhaps frustration with not being able to do what you usually can because of serious injury restiction but yet still playing to help out your team might explain this??? Another BF profound thinker.
Our deficiency is obvious to all and sundry but its a long season so finding a weekly scapegoat is pointless. Suck it up or take up darts.
TT, is that in your humble opinion or what you know...
Mixed up my racing parlance. I mean't to say put him out for a spell.A bit hard, he just needs a month off to get rested and refreshed.
I'll PM you Bo

It's highly controversial because it's dumb. How do you know we would get a marquee player in a supposed super weak draft? Sounds like the only elite players will be Patton and Coniglio. GWS wouldn't part with them for Jack. Also newsflash, Jack in good form and not injured (which he clearly is right now, just look at how he moves across the ground) is a marquee player. You don't draft good players, develop them into stars and trade them off at 22, 23, etc. Also why talk of trading Deledio is ridiculous unless we got a crazy good deal (highly unlikely). We need to get rid of the duds who have had 5, 6, 7 years in the system and still are ordinary like White, Edwards, Jackson and co.
Season is shot, Jack should be rested and get him ready for a good preseason in 2012. This thread is an embarrassment.
