Mega Thread Trade and List Management discussion

Big difference between a rumour like this and Macrae unhappy and wanting out (from a couple of pages ago)

Yeah but its funny because half of the rumours in here (re Minson, Talia) are just us made up as that one.

Trade week hasn't even started and we've all gone batshit insane.

"No news and no key forward make BigFooty something something"

True, there has been some absolute tripe posted in regards to good mail. We'll know by the end of next week I guess.

So, if Macartney has Bomber, McKenna and Sando as assistants next year, we better have 10 wins by round 5, or I will microwave my membership card, then burn it, then stamp on it, then put it in an envelope, and mail it to Gordon with a hamster and some elderberries...

Go crazy?

 

[St 07]

I've requested a trade, not enough posting opportunities on this board. Every time I come with information it's already common knowledge, therefore I am requesting a trade to North Melbourne where there are never any interesting events. bye

You're a fringe poster at best, lack consistency, and can't handle the truth. However, we expect a 2nd round poster pick in return...
Can we package you up with a few other posters on here, btw?

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

Ballbag Barrett's on a mission.

Not even a contract extension can keep that campaigner's mouth shut.

Nice work Barrett, quoting from BF. At least Caro talks to actual people to write stories. And you talk about gutsy - oh, the irony, the irony!

What? Cave in to player demands?
Yeah that's certainly "gutsy".

Hate to say it but he is out of contract and can just walk to the Preseason Poster Draft for nothing. He has nominated North so we have to accept whatever they offer. We are not in a position to negotiate

 

[ivan rassmussen]

Damian Barrett's brain has requested a trade - apparently lack of opportunity over many years...

If it's for SweetLeftFoot in return, i'll see myself out

Are you talking to me? Because, FYI, I've just walked out... My manager says I'll get better posting opportunities as the #2 poster elsewhere, and there are several club boards lining up to talk to me right now...

 

[footyfan000001]

Yes Barrett is a flog but what if he is right? That is 3 youngsters who have quit the club. Cant be entirely false.

Well im right behind you anyway. I've only posted 190 times but i feel i should be getting more opportunity and be treated as a 20,000 poster. I've had a sook and the Carlton board has offered me a role to only post 100 times but get treated as if i post 20,000 times, so i've nominated them.

TO be honest, in the current AFL landscape, its more gutsy to retain the coach in a situation like this than to turf him which is so common place now. Just look at Gold Coast and Adelaide.

As others have said, the players who have sooked out of the club are fringe players who dont have the mental toughness, and its obvious when watching them play. We will all start to worry once players like Bonts, Macrae, Dahl etc want out

Damian Barrett @barrettdamian · Aug 21
Liking McCartney's ruthless approach at selection and Rory's high-end form.


Can't make up his mind it seems

 

[ivan rassmussen]

Crisis at the BF Dogs Board - several posters have walked out or requested transfers. They may struggle to field a Board or create any threads next year. There are also rumours that Damian Barrett will be appointed as a Mod... stay tuned for further news.

I am also seeking a trade. I am sure in a different setting I will find a real opinion and be remotely original.

I know I have been on here for ages, but I am only 140 posts and my manager says a different forum where I am less known will hide my flaws until they become bleedingly obvious - but by that stage another 12 months will have passed and nobody will remember why I was traded in the first place.

Trade and List Management thread even less about trades and list management than yesterday.
