    Traded Harley Balic [traded to Melbourne] [retired]

    Let's just hope he stays away from those vitamin injections ;) Seriously though I feel for the kid and it was obvious from the beginning that he didn't want to leave VIC and I know that a lot of people make light of these situations but imagine being forced away from your family without any say...

    24/11/17 6pm National Draft: Picks 47, 51, 58, 60 + 61

    I find your denial laughable, let's be honest you can't even keep SA players in your own state so long do you think it will be until these VIC boys choose to come home? I was trying to offer legitimate thoughts and the immaturity you've shown is once again, laughable. No need for the insults...

    That is the most respectful and rational post I've ever read from any of you guys and you've got my respect for telling it how it is!

    Boy those grapes must really be sour, you didn't respond to one part of that post. Even when the truth is put right in front of you, your negativity and immaturity still persists. I still don't get all the angst by so many people here (that's directed at BF in general not just you guys)...

    Hahahahaha! Cal Twomey. Those phantom drafts don't mean a whole lot you do realize that? If that's the case the Ryan Burton is worth the Number One Pick at this years draft! I do understand your saying that they are both required players and both do have upside however they are essentially...

    No worries mate and thanks for the response. That is fine and thanks for the feedback (I think) and just to clarify that Tim O'Brien while being no slouch has had a terrible time trying to break into the best forward line in the competition of the last decade. He has finally been able to do so...

    It is not as simple as that mate and you're twisting it to suit a your point. That trade consisted of the following: HAWTHORN Trent Croad - 3rd pick, 1997 National Draft Luke McPharlin - 10th pick, 1999 National Draft FREMANTLE Picks 1, 20 and 36 While yes it is acknowledged that Trent Croad...

    List Mgmt. 2017 GC Draft/Trade Thread/FA - National Draft Pick 19

    It wasn't just our players that said no ;) Seriously though a move such as this would better your list (while only losing draft picks essentially because neither kid has played a game yet) and while yes it would hurt us short term it would hopefully work out long term. Also I don't feel your...

    I'm not entirely sure that is the case, why wouldn't it be a possibility? I feel that as club the GCS are unfairly portrayed and are doing it tough retaining players and in picking up two players of this calibre it would send a strong message to the rest of the competition that you are a...

    While I do agree with the bulk of this (mainly with the part that Tucker has held his worth and not fluctuated either way, I am baffled as to why you think that Balic has gained any value when he was taken lower down the draft and played about a fifth the amount of games. I would have valued...

    Mate salary cap space had nothing to do with it at all. The kids went to Clarko begging to go home because he understandably misses his family and wanted to play with his brother. That's the kind of club we are and even though we got unders because that's the kind of club you are, it's good to...

    It's good that he is being given the acknowledgement and respect that he deserves and it is great that he is back home and playing good footy with his brother. I'm not saying that he was worth a "high first round pick" however he was worth a pick in the range of 10-15 so to be honest I think...

    Ummm... No we didn't mate, that trade involved OUR First Round Selection and a swap of ours and Sydney's Second Round Selections. The pick that we received for Bradley Hill was sent to St Kilda as part of that ridiculous swap of pics. If you're going to take a swipe at least get your facts...

    Yes they are and yes they have, however that starting 22 that you speak of is a rebuilding side that's had multiple retirements and injuries which has opened the door for these kids. They've played 18 and 4 games respectively and from my recollection when one of the pair play, the other is...

    Just like all those "delusional Hawks fans" that were trying to get it through to all those delusional Fremantle fans that Bradley Hill was in fact worth a First Round Selection but were set upon and told that he was worth a Second or Third Round Selection? So just wondering, how is he working...

    Fair enough and while I take it on board I don't agree (not that you're going to lose any sleep because of it) because how many defenders in the league can you name that could be sent to mark either Taylor Walker or Eddie Betts and keep them goalless? I will agree that given the fact he is 28...

    You honestly believe that trade wouldn't make you a better side? Same as Bradley Hill wouldn't either? First that I've heard that about Stratton, any chance you could elaborate?

    That'd be Kade Stewart who is a player in a similar mould to Rioli/Puopolo who I think would be a great addition to your forward line :)

    How does the straight swap of two VIC players for two WA players sound? Could be a win for both clubs.

    I see where you're coming from, don't say I agree but definitely see your point. I would like to once again point out though that Jake Lever will be uncontracted while Ryan Burton will still have a year to run on his existing contract. I'm not sure if you guys have actually been paying any...

    Yeah I definetely get what your saying mate however to be honest wouldn't you in fact be better off landing two established players in Jack Gunston and James Frawley in exchange for two players who have yet to play a game? Imagine a forward line consisting of Lynch, Wright and Gunston causing...

    Yeah I did get that feeling mate but to be honest you guys are not tat far off contending and if ou drafted and waited the 2-3 years for them to develop then I think your chances will reduce while definitely not disappearing. Also you can still draft this suggestion was a trade, you get two...

    Hahahahaha, that's cute. Seriously though no offence intended mate, just seems you guys are keen on Burton and it's obvious that Lever is on the way out. We'll see how they both go for the remainder of the season to make a fair judgement and by no means was this saying that I'm keen on Burton...

    How does a straight swap sound?

    So then I'm assuming that you think something along the lines of Harry Dear and a bag of Skittles is a little more fair?
