Sarcasm? This thread is ruining my detector.

Haha, surely that is obvious.

Haha, surely that is obvious.

My brain is ruined! When does this trading end!

West Coast getting the worst deal in that trade

 

[bitadash]

may get torn to shreds here, but possible trades...

Colledge out - Giles in
Rosa out - Watts in (DW i know.. cue the heat)
2 x 2nd rounders out - 1st rounder in (for whoever needs it, or we just roll with the 2x2nd's)

FWIW, i think that the ceiling placed on Watts, but has clearly never been attained, will only ever be reached out of the Melbourne fish bowl and there aren't a lot of clubs that would take Rosa onboard due to age and respective ladder positions. IIRC Roos had a liking to him as a junior. Bit of leadership to help Jones and Vince out... While the skills and pace theme we are looking for, are there with Jack. If he can join in on our hunt; then happy days. If not, will still have be a better punt than Silvia as Rosa would have been depth anyways.

In;
Redden, Jetta, Watts, Giles
Out;
Selwood, Rosa, Colledge, Sinclair

Rosa out - Watts in (DW i know.. cue the heat)

The problem I see is that Melbourne would reject that trade and ask for more. IMO.

I wouldn't want him anyway. Would prefer to use Rosa to upgrade into the 20s, and either use that pick or try to snare Anderson when that BS proposed first round trade to North in the Carlisle bit doesn't happen.

Gee wiz, and to think I was tempted to chuck in our third round for Gold Coast to sweeten the deal. Glad I didn't do that now.

Not sure if your sarcasm detector is off as well?

Yeah I had unplugged it to plug the iPhone charger in. My bad.

Ahh you have an iPhone. That explains it.

 

[2006_Eagles]

How do Port value Ah Chee?

The one they already have? Yes, he's seen as very talented down there.

 

[2006_Eagles]

Only coz I smashed my HTC One when I was roaring drunk and its my stupid back up phone

 

[Godfather32]

Yeh that one, can't see them giving up pick 10 and Ah Chee then, we'd need to give something to them in that previous trade that was posted. Would like to get him here though.

Was this during the grand final?

 

[2006_Eagles]

Was this during the grand final?

Nope, round 1 actually.

 

[archiemoses]

I wish I could throw my phone at Masten.

 

[2006_Eagles]

I have to give the iPhone battery props doe, spretty good. HTC One's was terrible which is partly why I drunkenly smashed it

 

[2006_Eagles]

I wish I could throw my phone at Masten.

I would love to see Masten get sniped by a projectile phone during a game.

Saw a few Claremont games in 2012 and Gov did play that role. Role was more CHF then a run in the ruck. Provided he gets his body right, it is a role he does well but needs to be tested against the bigger and harder AFL ruckmen. In the Sharks v Tigers GF of 2012, he turned the game when he went head to head with Griffin. Not saying Griffin is AFL top drawer but that game Griffin looked AFL top drawer until Gov went for a negating spell on him.

Good point I was at that game and can vouch that the decision to move him into the ruck was a telling one , as until that move Griffin was owning Andrews and East Fremantle had the momentum. Whilst giving away both height and kgs "The Gov" outpointed Griffin in the strength department especially from the boundary throw ins.

I also remember that clash of three Eagles listed players Swift , Stevens and McGovern.
Koby Stevens EF put a good bump on Swift C and stunned him a little , a fleeting second latter McGovern cleaned up Stevens and put him on his arse.

The Gov is a handy pinch hitter in the ruck but he is just far too valuable to the team to risk him as a genuine ruckman.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Gold Coast gain: Rosa, Pick 10
Gold Coast lose: Dixon

Port Adelaide gain: Dixon
Port Adelaide lose: Pick 10, Ah Chee

West Coast gain: Ah Chee
West Coast lose: Rosa

Love it get it done.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

How do Port value Ah Chee?

Port have only offered him a one year deal.

 

[Godfather32]

Port have only offered him a one year deal.

Hmmm, where do you reckon he sits with them, likely to get a game this year or sit in the SANFL? Then again, either way knowing Port they'll want a first round pick or something

 

[2006_Eagles]

Love it get it done.

I'm failing to see how we provide any value at all in this scenario?

 

[Apex Predators]

How do Port value Ah Chee?

Don't know. But I think they could be desperate to get the deal done for Dixon, so if we got GC on board for Rosa, would that be enough leverage to prise ah Chee away?

It seems GC are wanting more than the one first round pick and ar looking to build a more straight laced professional culture. Rosa fits the bill.

 

[2006_Eagles]

Port have only offered him a one year deal.

Really? We should offer him 3 right now.
