Strategy Trade and List management Thread (cont in Part 2)

[fronkalicious]

Dont forget Beveridge went public with us wanting stringer out first. Was a media blunder of the highest order. I am willing to overlook it as it just shows he is emotional and is invested in the club..

Nah. The entire industry was completely across all of jakes behaviours and that he was getting chased out of dodge.

 

[Urtle]

I have considerable insight and still have some contacts when it comes to all things regarding the internal goings on at the forever shrinking HS and this is true to an extent, especially when it comes to playing Abby for the suburban rube that she is and their pro_Essendon agenda. Its something that doesn't really take an inside running to understand if you have read the paper over the last 10 years. However, I think you overstate the influence that the Dodo or Cooney had on Stringers trade value/deal as I've also recently been given an insight into our haste and why it is that Jake was let go and taking that info at face value, lets just say that I am even more comfortable with the clubs decision. He is talented for sure, but he was a true cancer and an incredibly destabilising influence on the playing group.

Make of that what you will.

Surely we are also forgetting a certain man called Paul Connors....filth but probably the most competent Player mgr when it comes to doing whatever it takes to get their man to destination.

I understand people being cagey, but it would be a lot better if people either just came out and said what they knew, or didn't bother being mysterious.

Terry is coming back?

We must be desperate.

Similarly, I heard Graham Polak has come out of retirement to sign with North Melbourne.

 

[Mr. Walker]

Remember this time of year in 2016. We weren't talking about what players might come to us, who we would draft, what we would do with an early pick, over and over and over again. We were making fun of other clubs doing it. We concentrated on other things. I miss September 2016.

What if we trade Mitch Honeychurch to port for Karl Amon?

Port benefit because Mitch Honeychurch is not Karl Amon, and We benefit because Karl Amon is not Mitch Honeychurch. I figure it is a win/win

Nah.
Lose/lose.

Played with no Eye grandfinal day a couple years back. Will never be forgotten.

Very true and that's admirable but I reckon every single player in our team, or any AFL team for that matter, would have done the same thing.

 

[Senor Ed]

Webb is currently in Japan with Biggsy and is still wearing a neck brace.

Can't see him coming back playing AFL tbh

 

[Dogs Rule]

Similarly, I heard Graham Polak has come out of retirement to sign with North Melbourne.

In further shock news, they've approached Darren Jarman and Allen Jakovich. They're planning to speak to all living (and dead) AFL players by the end of the trade and draft period to see if they'll strap on the boots for the Kangas.

It's the #lolnorf recruiting policy.

Bold, aggressive.

 

[Ghenghis]

Terry is coming back?

We must be desperate.

With Terry being so old and therefore being on the mature age list, maybe we've found a way of being able to negatively gear him on our salary cap which frees up space for Lynch, May and Shiel

Isn’t anyone surprised there was only one suitor for a 23yo AA forward? One suitor, willing to pay unders.

ONE club wanted Jake. Why didn’t they all?

No it wouldn’t.

The most telling part was that the usually two most desperate clubs, ie Saints and Norf didn't even show interest.

Well perhaps this established that the Bombers & Cats are even more desperate and culturally questionable.

Jesus, fred has seriously been derailed. Back onto Stringer ffs

Crows going after Tyson Stengle

Bugger, unless we have a much bigger offer in front of him, the temptation of getting a contract and playing in your home state as a young kid is a massive draw.

F***

 

[dergert]

Well there goes Stengle for us then as he is an SA native.

F**k

Not everyone wants to live in Adelaide even if they’re from there, in fact quite the opposite.

 

[TedDougChris]

Particularly with the Tex and ‘we don’t care about your health and safety’ factors at Adelaide at the moment...

 

[timtamWB]

No it wouldn’t.

Well it would be a lot less frustrating, I get enough of it at work!!!

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

Would

Crows going after Tyson Stengle

Would he get a game?

That young kid Murphy looks ok and Gallucci as well.


They seem to have small forward covered.

 

[Northernsoul74]

We can rule out Hall. Having a medical at North today.

We kind of paid them to take him... That means we owe Dodo

 

[Dogsman16]

Watch us end up with jack **** this offseason.

Feel as though Chad slips through our grasp.

Never wanted to be more wrong in my entire life.
