List Mgmt. 2025 Trade/FA Thread (Cont’d)

[TradeDraft]

It's totally confusing. Maybe a rescheduled meeting

Just don't listen to anything about it until a Official Announcement is made

 

[sr36]

No bouncing is going to change the game - the ball will be far more predictable, stoppage set up will therefore change. So adjustments will be needed for even the most experienced stoppage players.

What are you on about Spinny. There's about 27 centre bounces a game and heap got re-called and thrown up anyway.

 

[Pistol Night]

Maybe we haven't met yet and Clarry still hasn't decided. The most likely scenario when you remove all the media crap

I may owe him an apology lol

 

[Pistol Night]

I may owe him an apology lol

I'm on the fence now. He seems like a bit of a space cadet TBH

 

[FatJesus]

Don't know who to Believe at the Moment

Lot of Stories going around in Circles

Believe in FJ brother.
Highly doubtful we have an interest. Pies taking the piss. Feck Oliver

 

[No SPIN]

I haven’t done that.
I’ve expressed my opinion. Go back and read page after page of people gushing over Oliver.

It’s embarrassing.

What’s more embarrassing - effusiveness about the prospect of recruiting an excellent mid talent- or ill conceived opposition, based on the idea that our kids could have the same impact as Oliver.

 

[Kes1984]

Yeah me too. I full on turned on him this evening!!

But if we get him still, somehow, which seems unlikely, I’ll trust the process and hope we get the best from him.

The media don't like giving us Pies fans anything to be happy about and if they sense any excitement from us they try to deminish it asap

Mid talent with drug issues?

This is true. Any target we're after they try and steer towards another club and as soon as we land anyone we've sold our future by getting them

 

[Go Woods]

It would give me belly laughs if the fat red head did end up at the Pies

 

[left at home]

I been on the fence with clary from day one
Good footballer who is what we need, but not sure about the actual bloke, wether he is all there

 

[Kes1984]

Mid talent with drug issues?

I read it as “mid” talent like how the swamp donkeys are referring to Sydney Sweeny as a “mid” lol

Then realised midfield

Saw that big time with Houston last year. Seemed so unlikely we would land him based on the reporting. Yet here we are.

Cox or a similar sized Ruck, is up against a shorter opponent- who’s got the obvious advantage by knowing exactly where the ball is going?

How does the oppo mids setup given their Ruck is at a disadvantage? And critics even believed we intentionally conceded a 6-6-6 violation to give Cox the advantage.

Now compare that to the lottery and unpredictability of the bounce.

Remember the GF - toss up gave Cox the advantage and Led to JDG’s goal.

The stoppage setups will change.

Im more disappointed were not pursuing Blight. Desperate for backline help and there's a young one that's fallen into our lap

 

[Axl the great]

I think at this stage I’d be actually more concerned if Oliver did turn around and choose us.
Purely on the unhinged build up of the whole saga.
And GWS along with the rest of us would probably consider it the biggest heel turn since Paul Orndorf did over Hulk Hogan and him Bundy and John Studd beat him to a pulp.

Who said we where not?

 

[Pistol Night]

Who said we where not?

Leppa didn't he?

 

[Antz]

Channel 10 news reporting that Olivers management said he is going to meet with us....

 

[BEEG]

If Pies dont recruit a star midfielder this season, its another wasted Naicos year.

Again, moving Perryman, McCreery there is an option, but it will change the structure a lot and both need time to get accustomed in the centre game.

It's all good we have Long.

 

[BEEG]

Coke is a hard drug.

Prove it.

 

[Pistol Night]

Prove it.

Not anymore. More stepped on that an well hung centipedes tossle

The throw up won't help - more predicatablity around the ball drop will aid the good wrestlers under the current rules. It's whatever they do around the wrestling rules. It became much more of a wrestle a couple of years ago when they allowed rucks to use a stiff horizontal arm in a ruck contest.
