Strategy Trade and List Management thread 2.(...the waiting for the hammer to fall edition)

[matsta1975]

Typical Ross Lyon.
Tapping up other clubs players will be Freo 100%

 

[DognBones]

At least Matty Boyd has just signed a 1 year deal.

 

[mambavino]

I'm just not sure I can buy the "family reasons" line.

 

[compact72]

Fyfa for Adams & first pick

 

[RWnBluey]

I'm just not sure I can buy the "family reasons" line.

Me either. Has to be something else going on behind the scenes?

 

[Wilbur90]

Sorry to intrude, but what the hell?!

You guys picked him from state league footy and gave him his shot at forging an AFL career only 12 months ago.

Without knowing the intimate details this seems quite ungrateful and a bit selfish by Adams. He was looking like an absolute beast in defense for you guys prior to injury.

Hamling stays now you'd think.

 

[geoffjennings79]

Maybe that rumour that he wasn't liked by some of the playing group is true. Now can add most of the supporter base to the haters...!

 

[Scragger77]

Something needs to be done about footballers not fulfilling contracts, it is getting beyond a joke

 

[Doggy]

Refuse ro trade..

 

[TBOW]

Im sorry, but Adams is 100% worth a first round pick.

Agreed. Still contacted. Pony up 7 Freo if we're feeling generous will hand back 18.

 

[Bulldogsroar]

just reported on SEN
MBoyd signs i yr contarct

 

[king rising]

that is piss poor from Adams. you guys invested a high pick in him and gave him a shot at an AFL career as mature aged player and he leaves after one season? spells FLOG to me.

 

[Rookie]

I get the family reasons thing but argh. Marcus is a gun. Hard to begrudge him but WTF is gonna be left of our backline?

Gardiner, Nathan Brown, who is actually available and gettable?

 

[RWnBluey]

I vaguely remember someone starting a rumour that he doesn't get along with the group?

 

[Dogsman16]

Michael Hurley please reconsider

 

[Mattdougie]

How well are we doing the trade period???

At least we kept the potato

What a joke

 

[Quinz]

Sorry guys, we've been slowly poisoning the families of WA players interstate to drag them back.

Hopefully history will look kindly on us.

 

[Mofra]

I'm just not sure I can buy the "family reasons" line.

Not after Collingwood fans have said that Jono Marsh can't stand Buckley then he wants to go home for "family reasons".

Freo have got nothing to trade for Adams they'll be willing to part with.
Initial reaction is "PSD"

 

[Dav1d]

I'm just not sure I can buy the "family reasons" line.

Loses a bit when just about everyone says it

 

[Aldo]

Very tough to get a gauge on how much he is worth. Hope we can turn this into a positive and get something good out of him.

 

[Scragadder]

As much as I hate seeing Adams go I can kinda see the point, with our 2017 backline looking like thus:

Murph Fletch Moz
Woody Hammers JJ
+ Biggs Suckers Moyd Zordy (+ Williams Collins Roarke down the track)

Yes I've lurked long enough to know what BF'ers think of Fletch (and sometimes Suckers), and I'm absolutely NOT saying Fletch>Adams, but after the GF you'd be hard pressed to dump him right away.

 

[HowBoutThemDoggies]

Do not trade him.

I knew there was something going on, heard he didn't get on with the group (as mentioned) as didn't see him at the grand final or mad Monday ( may be wrong).

 

[Substance]

Boyd signs 1yr at least.

 

[Shagzz]

Make him serve his contract. I am sick of players not fulfilling their contracts. Same category as Gibbs.

Seems likely. We don't really need him and won't pay what he's worth to the dogs. I'd love him as a former Falcons lad too but we will surely be taking mids in the draft.
