Recruiting Trade & Free Agency VII

[Lore]

We can't trade our first without bringing another first in.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Happy to hear we're after Cutler. Bonar could be worth a try but from all accounts, he seems like another Langford.

 

[boncer34]

I don't know if I'm reading it wrong, but that Saints/Port trade seems like an absolute steal for St Kilda!

Anyone that thinks this was a good trade for Port should stop watching football.

 

[Albertross]

But I much prefer you in Bonar ant.

 

[Fin ice Smuggler]

You can leave me out of Bonar.
I am with Loyd on him. His weakness is his spread and we are a side that can be piss poor at spreading from the contest when we are under the pump.

how many inside mids are good on the spread?

 

[ant555]

how many inside mids are good on the spread?

A few. Wines, Cripps, Yeo , All of Richmonds. Danger, Sellwood, Duncan, Bont, McRae , SPP, Boak, Parker, Neale , Pendlebury , Sloan .... I could go on.

Love for somebody to explain the reason behind the interest in Cutler!?! seems very ho-hum to me, kicks ok, gets a little bit of the footy but not too much, age bracket is ok, develops an allergic reaction to tackling/clearances and isn't really a goal kicking mid..... seems like we have a few of these and some younger types developing into this type of role to replace the one's who are getting older.

Yep agree. Cutler’s in that HB/Winger category we have a shitload of. We need to get this bonar deal done & if there’s a way of getting JJ on the cheap then pull that trigger too.

Lol @ people thinking hawks have bent over Gws this year let alone last year.

You guys do know them letting Scully go for **** all last year is a big reason why we had to cough up a second first round pick for Shiel yeah? They did not have to let Shiel go after dumping Scullys contract in the Hawks...

Who gives a **** about Patton when him going lets them resign actual valuable players like Cameron.

Learn what a salary cap dump is before going “lol hawks bent over gws lol”

Miami Heat dumped a #2 draft pick after two seasons for **** all so they could sign Lebron James and Chris Bosh. Even if Michael Beasley has turned into a top player (which he nowhere near it) it was never going to be a bad trade, ever.

What an odd thing to melt over

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Easier when you’re recruiting players into a team that’s won premierships.....that’s not a melt is it? Intention was more mellow post.

He's posted a large post complaining about people making a meaningless off hand comment.

That's a melt.

Scully and patton have probably cost them any chance at cogs and Whitfield

I know which 2 id prefer.

 

[eddie_punchclock]

That's a melt.

was quality though

 

[rumply]

this nonsense trade period ends tomorrow night yeah?

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Richmond seem to go ok without a big bodied midfielder. You'd think with Rutten and Caracella coming on board we'll be taking on some aspects of their gameplan which may avoid the need somewhat.

What's funny about that is that Hawks fans legitimately think they made out like bandits with those deals.

Newsflash - you traded for 2 high salary, banged up versions of Dan Hannebery.

now that’s a melt

 

[Howard Moon]

Referencing the NBA when discussing anything AFL trade related is like referencing a Michelin star restaurant cause you like two minute noodles

now that’s a melt I can get behind

FTFY

at 7.30pm prime time, yes

they can still trade picks until the Friday before the draft though

 

[ghostdog]

Anyone that thinks this was a good trade for Port should stop watching football.

I loved it. Port can EA1000Ds.

 

[ghostdog]

I've seen enough war docos to realise flanking is the only way to win any battle

I think dodo is onto sonething

I look forward to us introducing the pincer movement into our gameplan.

I'd like to see our mids and ruckman move all over the ground in a quincunx.

 

[Old Campaigner]

this nonsense trade period ends tomorrow night yeah?

I'm looking forward to whichever overpaid suit at AFL HQ is responsible for all this shit to decide that not enough trades have taken place to keep the sponsors happy and add a few days of extra time.

 

[Hird05]

I'm happy enough

Fill 2 holes and id assume we're giving away SFA for both. No lose situation only upside

Phillips was solid as a sole ruck

Cutler was excellent in 2018 before being written off before the season even started in 2019 by Fagan

Chatted to my mate who is a die hard lion. He's pretty gutted to be losing him. That made me feel good about it
