Certified Legendary Thread 2017 The Summer of George Trade Period Part 1

[Mundusa]

Breaking news, Big Bang creates universe. More at 11.

McClure claims to have seen it first hand

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Not sure on why so many think Adelaide are a certainty to be competing at the pointy end next year. Things can change very quickly.

Compete when you're doing this bitches.

The retorts to ROBBO's post have officially jumped the shark.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Isn't he the guy that achieved Olympic qualification times in summer time trials?

My hawks mate says he burns the ball, he will fit in well at the PAFC

No footballer has achieved Olympic qualification times in summer trials. The beep test isn't an Olympic event.

 

[ROBBBO]

Damn... you bastards lol

 

[Nemisis]

So to summarise .... We have Rocklop and want Motcliff ... Watt the..

 

[Coobk001]

If we thought the 8 announcements of Watts nominating Port were big, we're up to 4 Robbie Gray Cancer threads.....

It shows how much we care about our Robbie.

 

[Portology]

If we can replace Lobbes (Who is on about 450k) contract with Motlop + maybe an extra 50k on top (500k) then that's fine. 650k is pushing it.

I'd go to $550 if we could offload Lobbe, but then IMO we need to trade-in, FA or rookie list a ready to go 'break glass' ruck. You don't insure the pointy end of the careers of Ryder, Gray, Boak, Westhoff on Billy Frampton alone. That's not a reasonable expectation to drop on Billy.

Not much out there. Zac Clarke? Or a pitch hitting quartet of Frampton, Hoff, Watts and Doogie?

I bet Adelaide have no intention of signing Motlop, and are just trying to make us pay more for him.

If not it’s just more evidence that it is much easier to get a payrise by changing workplaces than to ask for a raise.

Forget Zac Clerk - he's ****ing hopeless.

 

[Coobk001]

Yeah not making light of his situation, just highlighting the boards propensity to post before looking.

 

[Portology]

Even Miles Davis needed a full time quartet with him, and he had his pick of the best players

EDIT: does Watts seriously pinch hit in ruck, as in Westhoff-level or more? Would still prefer that to Zac in most situations, and the mostly playing one rotation down that Zac's um, 'presence' would require.

Telling that there are no takers. Will be at West Adelaide when his contract runs out.

Like warehousing Scott Hodges in 1996. If they worried more about themselves and less about us they might actually achieve something other than universal loathing.

wouldnt mind hartung as depth

 

[Coobk001]

Yeah IMO he's no good, so I like that we wont waste time with him. He's one that Essendon will think they should get great value for, but I'm sure Port and the Crows would be thinking he's barely worth a 3rd rounder.

Roles reversed I'd hope we'd be doing the same thing.

then the customary choke in the finals to follow.

pretty sure Aaron Francis just walked past me on the Parade...surely it's a done deal then [emoji6]
