Analysis 2016 AFL Trade Week Thread

[TheBeardAmigos]

Could not give him away so why not offer a 3 year deal.

What is so bad about a 1 year contract for average footballers?

they dont know about the number 1...

 

[raman]

**** whats next? Signing Palmer for another 3 years as a b'day present?

Oh, and... tip for making sarcastic comments: your suggestion should not be less stupid than what just actually happened.

 

[Portia]

Carnival of mediocrity

 

[Arthur Dunger]

Football department seems approximately as attached to reality as the Trump campaign right now.

And spending up like the clinton campaign.

 

[MALTSY]

If you're done with the club then just don't visit the site anymore you weird unit. Save the "permanent ban me please Daddy" for your missus

Totally. Harden up all you whinging meltmongers

 

[Steve Dore]

I dont ******* even..

3 years



This is a joke, surely.

 

[TheBeardAmigos]

I come in peace.

This trade just doesnt make sense from a port point of view. Unless they rate the kids highly from 19-30 range.

Seems like we have made out like bandits for a 28 year old with busted hips.

no it doesnt, and it was basically confirmed before that we are done in the trade period... after all the talk about changing the list...
we delist Butcher, Mitchell, Colquhoun and Schulz and Carlile retires, while we give another average list clogger a 3 year deal after trying to get rid of him.

this smells of coaches and staff trying to save their jobs, much like the Pies but on a lesser extent

Chris Davies the Footy Manager who literally keeps on giving.

 

[Kickpuncher]

So it will literally be "Portz fault" next year when Brisbane land picks 1 and 2. We upgraded their priority pick....

 

[pastmyprimus]

No daily quota at Port for shit news.

Just when you thought the day could not get worse we finish off with another 3 year spud deal. Speechless

3 years for a bloke who has barely fired a shot for the last two seasons, and who was apparently on the trade table ( at his own request ) is a joke, but unfortunately no-one is laughing.

It won't surprise me if during that 3 years TJ plays more games for the Maggies, than he does for the Power.

Yeah. Maybe a mini rebuild on the run. Got rid of some deadwood and hit this draft. What picks have you guys got?

 

[rumoursofwinter]

Three years! Just... three years.

Leadership group stays intact.

Jonas, Westy, hammer and lobster. Woot.

 

[Macca19]

3 years haha.

Inb4 OShea signs till 2022 tomorrow

 

[Portia]

Looking forward to seeing Lewis at the Dees hey

According to our list manager we came out of this deal no worse off, so from a Brisbane/Gold Coast/Ports perspective it was Win/Win/Meh.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

**** CD I'm a FLAC man.... hey it's lossless

 

[raman]

He's a flog.

 

[G3TWOTYAD3S3RV]

Lobbe & Jonas will be feeling really good after reading this thread.. Lol's if they make all Aussie team in 2017

 

[TheBeardAmigos]

Yeah. Maybe a mini rebuild on the run. Got rid of some deadwood and hit this draft. What picks have you guys got?

lol, if it was a rebuild we wouldnt be signing Jonas on a 3 year deal after trying to get rid of him...
also, O'Shea and Lobbe would be gone and we have some NEW PLAYERS ON OUR LIST....

i am completely angry and dumbfounded on what we are doing here

 

[Steve Dore]

3 years haha.

Inb4 OShea signs till 2022 tomorrow

This would be funny if there wasn't such a high probability that it will actually happen.

 

[MALTSY]

There is still a day to go.
I like the move actually.

 

[Kickpuncher]

Better offer hammer a 3 year extension on his contract just to make sure we didnt burn any bridges.

[Doctor Feel]

I dont ******* even..
