List Mgmt. 2013 Trading & Free Agency

[DangerSloane]

That's irrelevant to how this might be affecting the playing group

Not at all.
We have no picks to trade, therefore to get better we must upgrade players, which involves trading some.
Its as simple as that.
Bernie is happy to go, hes getting 3 times the contract he'd be getting with us.

 

[Team DJ]

Would be very disappointed if we upgraded using pick 46. There are 4 or 5 Ruck/Forward types who should be around for that pick that we can snap up.
Darcy Cameron, Toby Nankervis,Cameron Conlon, Ben Brown, Rory Lobb

Wait whats this about Sam Mayes?
First of all why teh F**K are Brisbane only offering him a 1 year deal. He showed enough this year to be signed up for a while.
Secondly if he is available GET HIM! He is along the lines of players we need, with outside speed and run and the ability to accumulate.

Been good posting in here over the weekend.
Just a friendly warning - this is an important thread for most this week.
Bickering and name calling will cop 7 day thread bans.
If you really want to disagree with someone take it elsewhere as if it degenerates into name calling, both parties will be gone.

Play on.

Please elaborate.

The difference is Mayes has proven he's a good player.

Kristol, I'm not even sure that Cleric is a supporter, I'm all for people challenging the club however some on this board are negative with every post

Lol. You should go read my posts when I first joined. Before Tippettgate, I was a happy supporter. But enough is enough. Its supporters like you, Kristof and the Blue Rinse set that give non performance comfort. Its supporters like you who claim "real supporters give unwavering support in good and in bad" who helped turn Melbourne into a basket case. You would be really suited to religion. Faith that cant be questioned.
I have been a crows supporter since inception in 1991. I ahve been a season ticket holder for 15 years. I have put thousands and thousands into my club. I have spent thousands driving and flying across Australia to watch thw play.
The fact that I think our Admin needs to be changed and needs to be called out for its wrongs means I am a true aupporter. I want sucess. I want flags. I want our club to have the best playing list, the biggest membership, the mist money. For you to come on here and accuse me of not been a supporter and some kind of PAP plant I guess is unacceptable. The Mods should look at your post in a dim view.
Pathetic.

I agree with this, support of the Club goes beyond the support of the administration. The Club is bigger than the people in charge.

 

[Scrotes2000]

Danger and Sloane are competitors. They would wish Mackay well, and look forward to an improved side.

They're also professionals. It's just part of the game.

 

[Cleric]

Its not the fact he is getting shopped around that is the problem. Its the fact he has told the crows he isn't interested yet his name is still appearing. The other sticking point is that he took a pay cut last year so the crows could build a war chest to keep Tippett. He isn't happy because his loyalty is virtually been shoved up his arse by the club.

Its this sort of treatment of its players by the AFC that is highly dangerous and could result in mass walkouts come the end of next season. If the club wants to treat long term loyal players with disdain, some players could turn on the club. Its almost as if the club is trying to appease its fans for its own stupidity over the tippet punishment by trying to be seen to working this magic during trade period and forcing out loyal players. All I say to those fans who demand active trading and list refreshment every season be careful what you wish for.

Thats exactly my point.

He deserved to take a pay cut because he hasn't performed anywhere near expectations. Talk of a mass walkout and players turning on the club is hysterical and ridiculous. Under performing players at every club are offered as trade bait every trade period. Mackay doesn't fit into the coach's plans, he wants players that get involved, tackle hard and have the mental application to step up when the team is in trouble. He's had two years to adapt and he hasn't. This doesn't show disloyalty, it shows that players need to live up to their ability and follow the game plan. Welcome to the world of professional sport.

So you want the best list and premiersjips, but you don't think the professional footballers who actually play for the team do?

Oh no they want to trade underpeformers im gonna slit my wrists!!! What happens with delistings? Can't delist spuds, it might cause disharmony in the squad and make those delistees think the Crows don't want them. We better not delist any players anymore, we might upset their secret sleep over clubs and pajama parties

Totally incorrect.
Its supporters like you that jump ship when theres a bad time that caused Melbourne to be in trouble.
Its those same supporters that let port get to a rabble before magically appearing again when they had some success.

 

[DangerSloane]

Lets face it, if McKay had actually pulled his finger out at some point during the last 5 years he wouldnt be offered as trade bait, and he might be on the kind of money he thinks he deserves.

I'm dissapointed that Vince left for Melbourne - But I understand why -

It feels fairly similar to the responses we got from Carlton supporters about Betts coming to Adelaide - They loved him, are dissapointed he has left, but have no ill will -

The only difference between Betts and Vince is we actually got a 2nd round pick back for him rather than the zilch that Carlton got for Betts

Wrong again. It wad the vision of Melbourne supporters ripping up their memberships in front of the players and coach, or Richmond supporters dumping manure on the clubs door steps that makes them think. Kinda like politicans, but atleast we get to vote them out unlike AFC.

They would've got daisy either way. He was signed up half way through the year.

So those images made more people want to go to games, and forced the club into making good decisions?
I dont get what you're saying, and I dont think you do either.

Keep up the good work. I reckon if you post about a thousand or so more negative posts about the club, Trigg will buckle.
