How would this bloke know if players have successful careers post-footy, indigenous or not

Pretty exciting to think that the club has three first round picks that have yet to debut coming into this season.

The Marra trade talk will be a factor all year.

I suspect given the clubs sensitivity to difficult players we’re more likely to ship him out, especially if his repeated absences are alienating his teammates.

There’s an argument that we could use such a trade to rebalance the team and our salary cap - if you don’t want English, Naughts, Darcy and Marra all on sizeable deals.

We have to see how his season actually plays out, there’s undeniable smoke surrounding him.

That being said I’d still rather keep him. We can’t keep on feeding known talents to other clubs for speculative draft picks - we lost a very good player in Dunkley for underwhelming returns, Baz is a bit iffy but still a known quantity vs the also underwhelming return we got for him. Given of course our aim is to try and win a flag (or just a final at this point lol) the trend would start to look really concerning.

We know what Marra offers at his best, and that definitely lives up to his draft position. I would much rather we try and work through this than give up. We’d look like the too hard basket bulldogs. He obviously has a ways to go yet before he’s ready for the rigours of the full afl experience, and some issues in his game are frustratingly lingering, but I’d hate to see him figure it out elsewhere.

Different if we get to the end of the season and Marra himself refuses to sign a long term deal, that’s when you look to move him. Can’t get burned by sticking our head in the sand like we did with Baz.

He won’t get traded as nobody will want him. He will be fortunate to play this year & should already be on 3 strikes.

Mate u would love him he is better then all your forwards

You missed my point mate. Do your homework, nobody will want someone who should be on 3 strikes. Not disputing his talent.

Because he is being linked with Sydney & it won’t happen.

Huge risk but huge reward if another club comes for him.

Clubs know exactly what the JUH scenario is.

They will want to make sure that he gets his act together before entertaining a trade and that will take some convincing for him and this is only IF he cuts ties with the Dogs.

Hopefully he sorts himself out for himself not anyone else.

Piss off mate. You’re not welcome here.

Have you apologised to the good posters on this board that you were calling liars yet?

Buddy would’ve blown past 3 strikes in his first 5 minutes in Sydney, does that mean nobody would’ve taken him?

Hey, never underestimate * and Bard Scott’s ability to surprise you. Chris too actually.

Didn’t you take buddy under similar circumstances?

Well Brad Scott was interested in Tarryn Thomas and Chris Scott just recruited Bailey Smith

Buddy went to Sydney around 12 years ago and times are different now but also there are differences between JUH and Franklin.

Yeah. It was my main point when drifting over here.

JUH, Baz, JHF, TT, starting to see a theme here. Maybe less of JHF because he got to where he wanted to go and backed it up. But the ego and spoilt brat shit while taking members on a bit of ride is getting to primadonna levels.

Actually, I forgot. There will be a club that can one up *. Don’t rule out the Aint’s.

So you have no spine, cool

 

[Bald]

You don't need to apologise at all.

Not sure openly admitting you are wrong and then not apologising to the people you were talking down to is the right course of action for an enjoyable social time on this platform, but you do you.

Chris Scott would take him at Geelong in a heartbeat

Is Bard Scott a modern-day Shakespeare?

It must be deflating for his assistants when 10 minutes into every match he starts muttering 'now is the winter of our discontent....

They also took Talia from us who was arrested and plead guilty to possession while at the Swans.
