List Mgmt. Trade Targets 2016

[NEGAN]

Gee whiz we really don't like criticism from the outside...

Port board all year: "We've stuffed up. Hartlett and Lobbe should never have gotten those contracts"

Terry Wallace: "Port stuffed up. Hartlett and Lobbe should never have gotten those contracts"

Port Board: "Lolz STFU you five year plan wallet padding leather face campaigner"

This board doesn't take criticism well period.

ill take criticism.....

if you let me ring up and have you put it aside for me and not let anyone else have any of my sweet sweet criticism

Speaking of sweet, does the administration's handling of Hammergate qualify as a Sweet Caroline moment Doctor Feel?

 

[chadleverington]

Listening to Wallace banging on about how we shouldn't sign ordinary players to long term contracts is doing more to kill my optimism for Port's future than any game we played this year.

GWS and Sydney games are still burned into my memory

 

[Robbie4PM]

Nice rant. I love all the bad ass internet list managers who throw a tantrum when Player X or Y doesn't do what they think he should do.

Well when you sign a guy who regularly puts in piss poor efforts to a massive $$ 5 year deal I reckon we may do a better job tbh. I honestly do not understand how you guys think what he has done over his career to be remotely acceptable. Youre all spineless, our lack of ruthlessness is why we are so far away from a flag

If it offends you so much take aim at the people who signed him for so long. If I was given the choice of staying and working close to my friends in my home town or being forced to live and work in a town I didn't want to be in I know what I'd do.

Signing on hartlett for 5 years when he adds little to our team or list . is like leaving yogi bear in charge of a picnic basket - destined for faliure

"Power ruckman Lobbe 50/50 on shifting clubs"

An initially promising looking trade period getting rid of surplus players Hartlett, Broadbent and Lobbe and getting into a good draft has become "I don't wanna go", "I don't wanna go" and "Noone else wants me."

Epic fail.

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

FFS Really Lobbe!?

 

[Visenfest]

Jesus, when did the Drafting/Trading Board become the Bay?

Any place where Essendon and Richmond fans are allowed to mix is bound to be a hive of scum and villainy.

 

[Wargreymon90]

Jeez. Hartlett is underperforming and had an average year. But judging by this thread you'd think he's a spud! He has played some good football in the past. Some people forget

I am saying he shouldn't have a choice. He has not performed anywhere near well enough for the money he's on, so he can be traded.

I'm happy that it was at least put on the table

He rejected a move so hopefully that's a rocket up his ass

You can't blame Hamish or lobbe for what we find ourselves in now.

 

[glitch01]

A lot of people seem to forget that contracted players have the right of refusal on a trade.
Everyone got excited to see Hartlett etc up for trade and seemed to think it was just a formality.
At least Hartlett and his manager have looked at other options - why would he move if those options aren't appealing?

 

[snozulu]

I am open to Lobbe being traded but only for a second round pick and a club which will help him advance his career.

lol, Robbie4PM likes this post.

The poster who says things like "Hammer is a cancer", gets shot down and is now all LOL PEOPLE DON'T TAKE CRITICISM WELL.

Classic HugeMoretonBayFigs.

 

[NEGAN]

That's why find it strange that people think our cap is going to get freed up by trading out lobbe.

It never was a foregone conclusion he wanted to go anywhere.

Not his fault or Hamish if they both stay.

But don't be surprised if we lose an Ollie wines because of it.

 

[OneGreatClub]

CD to be on fiveAA soon. They have spent the first 15 minutes demonising Port so should be an interesting interview.

Who says Wines wants to leave?

10th and loving it.

So much for being aggressive!

There's a fine line between aggressive and stupid

That and it's not even the trade period yet

I am saying he shouldn't have a choice. He has not performed anywhere near well enough for the money he's on, so he can be traded.

????? You do understand the nature of a contract between two parties?

Once the club and HH signed the contract, the deal was for 5 years he gives his services to the club. In return for that service he gets paid.

As per the contract HH is guaranteed pay at that rate from The club for the 5 years. The club is guaranteed that HH won't play elsewhere.

Like all contracts BOTH parties have to agree to any amendments, or the term remains the same.

Therefore there is no 'choice' in the matter.

Hope this helps

He has a contract. Of course he should have a choice.

 

[Pappagallo]

I feel like I've posted "he's contracted" about 200 times since this whole saga began and I can see that many others have done the same.

And yet...
