Strategy Blair Hartley Project 2015 IV - Trade and Free Agency Discussion

[Groupie_]

nobody will come to us now

 

[THE THIN MAN]

Can we trade Griffiths for anything?

 

[deledio03]

Would still rather be Richmonds list then north Melbourne this is there last year at it and will loose next week we have 5 years of finals and drafting and luring free trades into our team we all no our bottom 10 time to start bringing in hard nosed players so we are right come finals

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

So what did everybody think of Cotchin, Edwards and Ellis in todays match?

Because that's what you'll get every second week with Yarran. Completely uncompetitive and no impact.

 

[THE_GUN]

I really didnt think we needed Carlisle but after today's game its clear that we are still 1 KPD short in defence as Chaplin is not going to take us to the next level

Benell is and should be our #1 target
Carlisle another that would improve our team no doubt
Yarran is another if we can get him to become a Rioli type player(has the talent and skill)

Griffiths or Astbury + picks to essendon for Carlisle
#12 for Benell
#34 for Yarran

 

[MadTigerFan]

I for one hope we get Steve Johnson and some others, sick of seeing shit campaigners who kick worse than all of us like Reece Conca

 

[MadTigerFan]

Who the **** would want to come here?

Ummm we have a young team compared to most in the finals, at least they make the finals instead of just missing out all the time.

One day

Bet you weren't paying him out when he contested beat 3 Roos and ran into a goal.

Hardly the only player to miss kicks today and has only played 2 and 1/2 games.

He shouldn't have been picked, that's the problem.

 

[jokershoppe]

Quite obvious that north thought just got to keep 3-5 star players down and a lack of class will mean tigers cant win, cotchin, ellis, edwards played super bad, 28 touches total, no longer can cotchin be considered an A grader has his game today was disgraceful
Along with Edwards and ellis, bennell so needed in our team

 

[Calcium Man]

He shouldn't have been picked, that's the problem.

I'm not disagreeing there but we need him next year, we are a shite contested ball side and got absolutely smashed today. He is very good in close.

I haven't seen much of Cam Ellis-Yolman but seems to win a fair bit in close. We need a guy like him.

And for ****sake take a risk and get Bennell. Waite is a shit kicking campaigner but that risk paid off for the Roos today!

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Offer up Martin is a disgrace and anyone who still wants outside soft ***** who only have a offensive game need to watch a replay of today's game .

 

[Dragonss]

He shouldn't have been picked, that's the problem.

His effort when he came on warranted his selection. He contested like hell and tackled and scragged like Miles. Griffiths' effort didn't warrant his selection, was hot early with his marks but just didn't put on the scoreboard pressure.
If we can get Bennell for Griffiths + this year's 3rd rounder/next year's 2nd or 3rd rounder then i'd go for it.
Take Kreuzer and Carlisle and we're done for the trade period.
Carlisle wants to play defence, he'll play defence. I honestly don't know why Rance can't play without Chaplin, but gee he needs to get over it and not rely his performance on him because with Chaplin we're not up to it.

 

[Coxy_]

Can we trade Griffiths for anything?

Give him to Port for Schulz.

 

[THE_GUN]

Chaplin is a liability in big games against big players, Cant play man on man and isnt skilled enough to create and run off as well as lacking speed.

Carlisle would atleast beat the Gorilla's like Petrie and allow Rance freedom to run off, Was a disgrace expecting Batchelor to hold up waite whilst Chaplin is roaming around like a flanker

Carlisle , Benell & Yarran should be our priorities

 

[MadTigerFan]

Offer up Martin is a disgrace and anyone who still wants outside soft ***** who only have a offensive game need to watch a replay of today's game .

And get what for him?

It's not about effort, he barely played this season, Lennon and/or Lloyd should have played before him, pick players with no form? real smart.

Would trade Cotchin 10x over before I'd trade Martin. Though on current form we'd be lucky to get a first rounder.

 

[THE_GUN]

WOWWWWWWWWWWW


Talk about a Friggin melt down - Some here need to get a grip on themselfs

 

[MadTigerFan]

I'd love to get Benell and Carlisle but I just don't think they'll go down the path, don't want Kreuzer and his injuries unless he's not getting paid much.

 

[wegetpumped]

What are you so happy about? did you like what you see?

 

[Calcium Man]

What are you so happy about? did you like what you see?

Nobody is happy, but making decisions based on emotion is crazy and stupid.

 

[Tigerland]

I hope that Conca and Griffiths are firmly on the trade table.

The others that I want to get rid of are worthless.

Play C. Ellis and B. Lennon all year Dimma you muppet.

 

[wegetpumped]

Nobody is happy, but making decisions based on emotion is crazy and stupid.

yeah and if you don't show emotions after what you just witness when do you show it. Its been proven we are not good enough and instead of going after some decent players what do we get? Emotions are Foley knights why did we hang on to them instead of improving our list? Then again we can't improve it so let's keep them. Is Lennon signed yet? don't be surprised if he asked for a trade.

I never said it was bad to show emotions i said it was bad to make decisions based on emotions. There is a reason sporting clubs and business never try to react to emotion. The rest of what you say basically proves that making decisions based on emotion is stupid, it hurts like buggery today but it ignores the entire season, contracts and logic.
