I think the players leaving us know that their quality as footballers & leaders will be shown up and they are afraid they’d be exposed. It’s easier for them to run. Not the types you want leading your club.Interesting take on Graham, I see a guy who was tempted by Carlton before changing his mind, tempted enough by Port Adelaide to visit their facilities and now tempted with the Eagles by doing the same. Perhaps he gives his all when he commits but I don't think he is 100% loyal.
Doesn't surprise me these guys failed at leading our club this year.
Don't be a dhI think the players leaving us know that their quality as footballers & leaders will be shown up and they are afraid they’d be exposed. It’s easier for them to run. Not the types you want leading your club.
All year I said anyone who isn't willing to buy in to what Yze is trying to establish can go. To me it's clear that the 4 leaving haven't bought in and IMO had their minds made up very early in the season to depart and that's disappointing.
Add to the fact the reports of certain players not adhering to the game plan and running their own race and it's clear that these aren't the guys that we want being leaders in thr next generation.
IMO when they go I believe we will see an improvement in the way the team plays as we won't have players running their own race, and I expect anyone who does will not be given the 'freedom' that happened this year, but will be quickly pulled into line.
The younger players appreciate Yze because he is prepared to play them unlike McQualter who had an opportunity and squandered it.Or no one respects him, and they left because they know what competence looks like, and he aint it.
What’s gonna happen at west coke when mini plays his 2 favourites in baker and Graham and they might not be worthy of a game the fans will burn the joint down we saw this year bakers heart wasn’t in it and what will happen when the going gets tough over there same thing and Graham you know what you are getting and that’s a statue
No. They all contributed to multiple flags and given their all to this club.Anyone else pissed off with Bolton, Baker, Graham and Rioli? As the days get closer to trade week the more I think these 4 guys have let us down.
They were supposed to be our next leaders for the young guys and it seems they got what they wanted and think it's best to move on for their own self interests.
No different to Dimma IMO and now I won't them out.
My sentiments aren’t dissimilar , I’ll take the spoils but they could have made diff choices like those that stood before themYeah. Loyalty sometimes is brave. I was loyal to this club and even was a coterie member during 37 years of shit.
But in this context, yes they are pea hearts. Sorry to hurt your feelings.
FA does so Graham will bail Friday.So Friday this kicks off yeah?
I'd rather have him in our backline than Short.Really hoping we are looking at guys like Caleb Daniels to replace what we have lost. Wouldn’t cost the world and we clearly have cap space.
Fa Friday , trade MondaySo Friday this kicks off yeah?
I think the trade dealing starts next Monday.So Friday this kicks off yeah?
Would be a good get for norf and not the last bloke we should be interested in . That small defender role tho is a place we intro young players , he ll be right in the block hole thereI'd rather have him in our backline than Short.
Taco kid, let’s have both.I'd rather have him in our backline than Short.
That’s how we rationalize it in the end , still first reaction is disappointing that these guys saw a future elsewhere
Besides
We finished dead last, never in a season have we had less wins and these four played most of the season.
If they can get us some picks, and Yze can draft some kids to usher in the next Cotchin, Dusty, Jack R, Rance era ... then let's do it.
Their parting gift on the way out the door can be their currency, helps us reset and look for boys with higher character that will become men who bring home 14
Wonder if Saints are going to move Marshall forward or Soldo is just going to VFL?Port want a 2nd rounder for Soldo from StKilda
Trying to recoup most of what they paid for him
Soldo + 50 for 41,49,F2 (29) + F4 (72) equivalent of pick 16
A third round pick is more his value. We made like bandits trading him for second, third and fourth round picksWonder if Saints are going to move Marshall forward or Soldo is just going to VFL?
If Saints plan on using Soldo as 1st ruck then he's worth a 2nd rounder. If he's just depth then should be a 3rd.
One thing we don't need is half-backs.Really hoping we are looking at guys like Caleb Daniels to replace what we have lost. Wouldn’t cost the world and we clearly have cap space.
We're stuck with Short.I'd rather have him in our backline than Short.
This is completely ****en stupid. It’s an even draft!!!!!So 2 years ago WCE gave up pick 2 for 8 & 12. It looks like 13 is on the table for Baker, which will leave them with 3-23 & Baker, are we better off trading Baker and pick 9/10 for pick 3 and forego 13? Or is it better for us to keep 9/10 & 13.
Looks to me like WCE come out clear winners if we go with the first scenario because they'll end up with 9/10 & 13 & Baker, but we'll have our hands on pick 3.
WCE:
2 for 8 & 12, a couple of years ago
3 for 9 & 13 & Baker
Tigers:
1-6-9-10-13 currently
or
1-3-6-9 after trades
