[crow2crow]

Fair point I probably hadn’t considered. Then I would argue we should have done 28 and 63(ish whatever that one is we have) for ANB and 48. Add some extra points that way.

the points dont matter you're worried about nothing

better to just get the trade done and focus on the rest

100%, he'd be behind Fort next year, he should come home.

 

[Crow coloured glasses]

Missed your post injecting yourself into the discussion and calling me an attention seeker?

So you’re moving on from your opening bullshit claim?

Did you read all of my reply to Jenny?

I pick up on the overtly positive posters who criticise those of us that are critical about the club and who also have cracks at me. Have a read of my response to Mostyn just now and yet when I give it to him I’m the bad guy?

There are plenty of opinions on here I don’t respond to even if I disagree with them and that far outweighs my posts against those posters who I consider hypocritical sheep who try and shut down those of us critical of the club.

[Crow till I die]

I am not aware of a single example of a player signing a new contract and being traded in the same calendar year. There may or may not be any rules preventing it, but I do not believe that it has ever happened.

Mitch Mcgovern?

 

[Crow till I die]

Can go into deficit for whichever round he goes for next year.

I would bet we have a deal.in place to trade a future 3rd for extra late points if we need them in this draft. They will have that well covered

 

[Vader]

Mitch Mcgovern?

Signed one year, was traded the next.

 

[spenze]

Signed one year, was traded the next.

Josh Schache signed a two year extension late in 2017 and was traded same year

 

[Crow till I die]

Signed one year, was traded the next.

Yeah saw it after i posted being a johnny come lately to this thread late this arvo

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Burgess and Smith are the obvious ones to me

Burgess, Strachan, Smith would be my order... & bonus if anyone else takes them off our hands.

Would still consider paying 2 out.

Throw Schoenberg in there too.

Been demoted significantly in our MID / HF pecking order with our 3 recent arrivals

Nah, Schoenberg is still capable of AFL football imo, but may be one looking for a trade given our 3 ins.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

What would happen if for argument's sake if he goes earlier? Are we screwed?

Think they take points off our future 3rd that will drop back.

 

[Sizzlepack]

See media reports Henry Smith from Brisbane may be looking around. I assume would be pretty cheap - Brisbane in desperate need of points

Maybe we do try and trade someone out?

Think you might mean Harry Sharp.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Bond is Back pocket perfect. He can definitely have a role in that backline.
Worrell can play big and small, the others should be half back/wing rotation.
Laird can play sanfl
I'm looking forward to Bigman reporting that Max is training with our midfield this summer.. wishful thinking maybe.

Prefer we leave Max in defence as a gun defender.

We have better midfield options imo.

 

[crow2crow]

Yeh I would like Burgess and Strachan paid out and gone. Or place on the inactive list so they can play sanfl but not afl.

Then schoey and smith can get delisted and re-rookied.

That leaves us with two extra picks.
1. mature ruck
2. development ruck

 

[Mutineer]

The running man, close mate of Josh Rachele from way back.

 

[Sizzlepack]

The running man, close mate of Josh Rachele from way back.

His running times are nuts. Is he any good at footy?

 

[Mutineer]

Yeah not too bad, outside player though, as you know he has great endurance.

If he'd taken up athletics he was a world class steeplechaser as a junior and an Olympic candidate.

Two problems with this...

We can't put players on the Inactive List until after the drafts, so it wouldn't give us 2 extra picks. We can only replace Inactive players via the PSSP or MSD.

Secondly, we can't put fit players on the Inactive List anyway. It's reserved for players who have retired or suffered season-ending injury or illness.

Ok point 1 taken thats a shame.

You talking how they got the replacement goal keeper?

Is this according to a source or are you just speculating?
