News Trade Week & DFA's Chat - Non Crows

[Crow till I die]

Crouch will be fighting for his lucrative AFL career .....he'll train harder than ever b4

He would see the writing on the walk that his career might be done in his late 20's so if ever he was motivated to lift, that would be it you woukd think

 

[FR0GGY]

I liked Ralph's comment in response to Scott guaranteeing Bowes was best 22, how would the likes of Narkle feel.

Think Narkle's main concern would be finding another club will to take him...

Will be a bit embarrassing if pick 7 plays ahead of Bowes on 850k in the twos

There is a strong possibility that he will play more games.

 

[George Kramer]

In terms of next year I think Esava is a massive miss for Port. Amon and JHF cancel each other out for next year IMO. Rioli is an upgrade on Gray this year.

They are still too small down back to beat the Cats or Richmond

Not that I think Ratagolea is great but could have been a great play for them.

If you get bored and want a chuckled have a read of the first few pages on the Port board of the Esava thread - and then the last few

Amon and JHF don’t balance out for next year, they are behind, over time they will be front, but not next year.

But Esava is a loss.

He should be playing for actual salary owed for the next two years.The absolute stink fist of this deal is that Bowes will be playing for much less on a restructured deal. Just a rort.

Imagine you are at work and you are owed x dollars for the next 2 years because you did the right thing and deferred money to help the business in hard times. Then they tell you, you know what, that money you were going to get for 2 years work you now have to work 4 years for..

I wonder how that would play out if it went to fair work

Absolutely. Geelong have added much less to stretch it out. Their current ceo is benefiting his club from his time at AFL house.

 

[George Kramer]

I just don’t get Gold Coast and Bowes. So Geelong were into him and spread his contract over 4 years, so why did they give up pick 7? ****ing amateurs

 

[Red mist]

Well there’s always a bs nostalgic story like how Danger saw him playing twos tearing it up and they had the same manager so let’s do something here. Just a smokescreen to haze up the ridiculous deal in front of everyone.

That's what stinks... imagine if we tried a deal like that... afl would never let it happen.

 

[TryAnHit]

Hawks have hardly improved their draft hand & have better outs than ins.

Meanwhile Cats improve their draft hand & also have been ins than outs.

Hawks have done what needs to be done during a rebuild and get rid of guys who take up games from young kids... imagine if we got rid of crouch etc early and had Berry / hatley running thru the mids from last year

 

[spenze]

Amon and JHF cancel each other out for next year IMO.

C'mon man, it's hard to take the post seriously when that is there

 

[Jetafl]

Following the trade period we have moved up from equal 15/16th with Hawthorn to equal 14/15th with Gold Coast for the flag on AFL Sportsbet.

''Gamble Responsibly'' don't back us for the flag!

They still need some experience around to support the younger players.... or they become a North Melbourne.

Remember their captain McEvoy has retired too, along with Shiels.

Why did they come out publicly & say they would give up pick 7 before they even tried to trade Bowes...

That's not how you negotiate & something stinks.

 

[Jetafl]

so why did they give up pick 7? ******* amateurs

GC don't value draft picks like most clubs as they get so many high-end picks, they just don't appreciate how valuable they can be. GSC come upon so many high-end picks so supply, and demand prevails, and they have a never-ending supply.

HAW would be worried about Tasmania coming in & getting Draft concessions ......they might also attack the DFA market

Mitchell out doesn't hurt .....Omera does, and Gunston's been a bit player the last 2 years

Meek and Stephens in are good moves

Until they release individual salaries like some American sports, the cloak and dagger stuff will continue.

You don’t think JHF can match Amon output from this year? Talking 2023 only

JHF didn’t have a great year this year so who knows ?

Now he goes to port with massive expectations and pressure

If 2022 is a guide he is yet to demonstrate that he can handle internal and external pressure

O’Meara doesn’t hurt either, he does on the rare occasions however his body can’t play that more explosive game anymore

IIRC the commentary yesterday was O'Meara can only play 5 continuous games B4 needing to rest his knee .....he'll have to be managed by FREO

Jhf still very young... while amon in his prime. He won't have similar output for a few seasons imho especially cause amon plays outside. Jhf is expected in the middle.

2nd year player vs experienced player who had a big season and plays a completely different position.

Incompetent but how did the AFL agree to that. $400k per year would have been more than enough and a bargain for a player of Bowes quality with no pick 7 included. I suppose the go home factor was included. Geelong is just next door to Cairns.
