Brad can work on it. hasn't played much which doesn't help
how about you debate with a counter argument instead of being personal.
We're talking about Richard Douglas and James Aish.
If a direct swap occurred of Douglas out and Aish in (if that's what it came down to) is a huge win for us.
I don't understand how anyone would say differently.
How is it personal when you're not even making any sense?
We don't lose.
We lose a gut running mid.
We don't gain.
No, the argument was you are arguing its a win regardless and Im telling you its not the case. I also said, by your logic lets trade Danger for the number 1 pick then keep trading it every couple of years because we get age.
That doesn't relate to anything we're talking about.
Are you saying if we had the chance to direct swap Douglas for Aish that you'd even think twice?
Aish is operating on reputation as a high draft pick and has yet to prove f all. All you are arguing is its a win on age. A win in my book is we keep douglas and still trade in Aish by trading a draft pick and a 2nd tier player. What about trade Danger or Sloane for Aish? We win on age. that's your argument isn't it.
There is a calculated risk with every single decision in life including trading football players.
The risk of developing a 19yo gun midfielder who wants to play for us, in exchange for an aging, injury prone former ice skater with a recent tribunal record, is called savvy risk taking.
Of course a win is we keep Douglas and trade in Aish!! But we haven't been arguing that. You've changed the goalposts there.
Of course I wouldn't trade Aish for Sloane or Dangerfield. But I would Douglas in a heartbeat.
What draft pick and what 2nd tier player would you put up?
Not at all.
If that was the only option on the table, Douglas wanted to go (which he has to as his right) then sure. But it would be far from the very first deal I would approach Brisbane with. It wouldn't even be in the top 5. That's a last resort type of option.
That is a completely different argument altogether.
I just struggle to decide whether Aish will be an above-average 200 gamer or a potential gun. I reckon it's the former but if he becomes a Crow I hope I'm wrong (esp if we pay a premium)
If its the dead set last resort we probably do win. (just) but shizenhousen negotiating took place.
At this rate, Port will be able to offer a far better first round draft pick and player clearance auction so it may not even be an option.
Douglas for Aish last resort for which club?! Noble wouldn't even attempt that trade. Brisbane would piss themselves laughing and push him out the door.
for us! It shouldn't even come to us losing a gun midfielder. That's why I said some Shizenhousen negotiating took place by Nobes.
Aish isn't commanding top dollar just yet. Plus they just lost a premier A grade midfielder in Kane Corn.........bahahaha sorry couldn't even finish that sentence.
They aren't losing Cornes salary next year, they would have known this was his last when structuring contracts.
You don't give up a hard gut running consistent performer like Douglas unless you have to. We don't have to (yet)
I think Douglas will stay, will be a similar waste of time as discussing trades with Saints supporters
