List Mgmt. Trade and F/A 2020 Cont’d

[Countrypie]

Might be the most ridiculous post today.

Unless we have some rock solid inside sources what else do we have to go off other than professional journalists?

Barrett who rates a 10 on the flog meter still gets alot of sh*t right.

That's called throwing enough mud at a wall and knowing some of it will hit the mark. Even a broken clock etc...

 

[Carringbush2010]

Pendles is the only bloke we've got that fits their recruitment profile age wise

Yeah but Pendles is not a need for them, unless they wanna replace Gaj. This is lol.

 

[Countrypie]

So tell us..

What information do you have on Stephenson?

Right now we have a well known journalist reporting we are open to trading him.

Give us something that proves that false.

We've got political journalists report fantasy as fact because it fits their agenda.
Barrett said it let him prove it

 

[AssassinAndy]

I think with Stephenson he has to decide whether he takes footy as a serious professional or he wants to see it as a kick around on the weekend with his mates.

That's fair but giving up on a bloke after just 3 years says a lot about the club also.

 

[Silky23]

Yeah lol, all of you complaining saying it’s hack Damo Barrett but after the Treloar saga and the club legit saying absolutely ****ing nothing about anything it’s pretty safe to assume it’s probably true. Tell me I’m wrong.

 

[Crazy Tails]

Hey mate, Dekka doesn't do the trades anymore. That's Ned Guy.

I know that chief but it’s a slap in the face to him if the club is trading out a bloke he picked in the top 10 3 years ago.

Correct. I was clearly taking the piss out of the geriatrics recruitment drive of recent years. If Pendles got traded id say there would be 80,000 pissed off members setting fire to Eddies mansion. Ha

 

[Apex36]

Derek Hine may as well hand in his resignation if we trade Stepho. FMD. A top 10 pick, rising star winner traded after 3 years. A player with pace and x-factor. Fits Bucks mobile forward line comment too. Shambles.

List management is Guy’s department not Hine. Hine is the one who actually had the balls to recruit him.

Right, gotcha.

 

[Crazy Tails]

That’s my point. Why bother. He picked him in the top 10 3 years ago and we are trying to ship him off. I’d be like, why am I bothering!

[Apex36]

Yeah wouldn't mind him, has x factor, question is what do we have the cats want? They're tilting at a flag no doubt and are bringing in fish like Cameron.

I don't reckon we've got anything they need.

They haven’t offered him a new contract. I can’t imagine they’d be demanding anything substantial.

 

[unplugged]

Why are people saying this is a random Twitter account who mentioned Stephenson traded??

it’s arguably the biggest afl reporter discussing it....

Exactly. I can't believe people are dismissing it because they think a) it's too unlikely (unexpected) or b) Barrett is doing it for clicks.

He wouldn't have come out with this unless it was a good chance IMO.

 

[Babylove]

So tell us..

What information do you have on Stephenson?

Right now we have a well known journalist, probably one of the most senior AFL jounos reporting we are open to trading him.

Give us something that proves that false.

That's the point it's a rumour from a journalist about something that might happen. I never said I had any inside information, and by the way Barrett is wrong as often as he is right and he peddled a very vague notion that Stephenson is not untradeable. But it hasn't happened as yet, and as yet there isn't even a notion of an actual trade being on the table, just the notion basically that we may be willing to listen to offers. I mean if this is true do you know what's prompted the change of heart since his exit interview?

 

[Carringbush2010]

Lol the Stevo trade out. It's not happenin.

IF it would come to pass then all the calls on here to pull anyone and everyone out of list management and FD. That just might happen.

We'd definitely see a publicly assembled opposition board then, ala the tigas 2016.

 

[Pies_10]

I think we all need to just take a breath for a second and let some of this play out before we start burning the club down.

 

[jackcass]

Yes but my point is we are strapped for cash

So you think, but none of us really know. We operate under the same 95-105% of TPPthat every club is bound by.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Yeah lol, all of you complaining saying it’s hack Damo Barrett but after the Treloar saga and the club legit saying absolutely ******* nothing about anything it’s pretty safe to assume it’s probably true. Tell me I’m wrong.

The club is not discussing the Treloar matter in the media, because it is a sensitive matter for AT and the club, due to Treloar's issues in the past.
Neither the club or his manager have discussed this matter in the media, and nor should they. Why should this be played out in the media to suit the media's agenda.
Trade week hasn't even started yet, so once things are moving along l'm sure we will hear from the club.

 

[jackcass]

Very simplistic argument, 'luck' in trading on top of dumb deals is why we're (apparently) in a sh1tty position cap wise.

Not simplistic at all, it’s fact.

 

[pies 4 ever]

I didn't say that but of course it is possible....greed overpowers many....i wouldn't have a clue but they stay around, why not give others a go...plenty of paid staff have overstayed their welcome but do you think they care....of course not because money is money...i would like to think Eddie and the Board are comfortable and happy but to think any human is squeaky clean would be naive..i am not by any means suggesting any wrongdoing is taking place but by decisions I see lots of incompetence and yet they stay around....eddie can retire comfortably and he should in my opinion....enjoy his family and enjoy life...dont even know why trump and Biden want a complex huge job, they made their wealth, give others a go

The only true thing that’s come out of your bucket mouth so far is, "I wouldn't have a clue". Last post you accused the Board of impropriety. then came back and back peddled. You then went on to say "but to think any human is squeaky clean would be naive..i am not by any means suggesting any wrongdoing is taking place". Jeez, another bit of very quick back peddling. But your most stupid comments, among many, is "Why not give others a go" when talking about club staff needing to resign, when you know absolutely nothing about what the 100 odd staff do. Just for the record what experience have you had in running a business or club? Oh, I forgot you are still at school. Still, at least we got a post where you didn’t threaten to nail someone to the fence or crush them or demean them. Just for the record, is there anything that this club does right or to your high standards? I suppose I should give you some credit, you are very persistent, most trolls back off after they have had their fun.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Correct. I was clearly taking the piss out of the geriatrics recruitment drive of recent years. If Pendles got traded id say there would be 80,000 pissed off members setting fire to Eddies mansion. Ha

I know you were mate.

 

[Carringbush2010]

They haven’t offered him a new contract. I can’t imagine they’d be demanding anything substantial.

Then Dekka might look at him, if not already and Guy might be talking sparkles manager.

 

[jackcass]

I’d say the Treloar situation, Beams situation, Grundy contract, difficulty resigning Mihocek, Degoey etc, key list holes, would be your starting point.

So nothing definitive, just media speculation and the righteous indignation of a few posters, right.

 

[magpiemaniac44]

So having been busy today there are rumours around the Stevo is on the trade table. I’m sorry if this has been covered but WTAF.

Why are all of these players from our best 22 get rumours about parting ways and we have not shown interest in 1 player other than Gunston who today confirmed was not leaving. Why are the list managers shopping around everyone for no gain? Every single one of our forward group have been linked to other clubs the last year except for josh Thomas

wtf.

You can just see the club is going to balls this up and we could be in for a world of pain.

But it wouldn't be foolish to expect just one big name who is in his prime.

was one of the brightest young players in the comp, about to come into his prime, when we snagged him.

Lets not rewrite the history books just because the last couple years haven’t been all we hoped. At the time, that was a big signing.

I think its to be expected in todays day and age, that many big name players are not going to want to be at Collingwood. It would be too much for a majority of them.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Not simplistic at all, it’s fact.

Regardless, we're (apparently) in a sh1t position cap wise and it doesn't look likely we're going to land the fish to fill the needs. Meanwhile down at alphabet land it looks likely they'll land Cameron and Smith.

So tell us all, apart from the 'luck' on the deals like Beams and Langdon. How did we get in this apparent unenviable position?
