Analysis 2016 AFL Trade Week Thread

[Doctor Feel]

Whenever you feel optimistic, remember we drafted Butcher and Moore in the same draft at 8 and 9.

 

[Byrons Firen]

What a day. Spend next yrs 1st rounder, give Jonas 3yrs and even for a tragic like me reading this thead today has been hard.
The anger and pain of it all is now too much. See/hear from you all tomorrow right now i've had enough .

 

[rumoursofwinter]

This Ken v the list management team is poison. The structure of the club seems stuffed. Unhappy factions aren't winning flags.

 

[NEGAN]

2007 was the height of my optimism. It died in September that year.

I really wish we would only do one incredibly ridiculous thing per day, I can't keep up with the forum.

It's Moope

 

[MALTSY]

It never crossed my mind. I'm from TPFP and optimism was acceptable there.

Hope you are wearing your RCG's

 

[Contested Marx]

Listen, enough negative feels

We still are yet to give O'Shea and Stewart 3 year extensions

TPFP - The Power From Port. A PAFC only forum where if you didn't think the club was infallible, you weren't welcome.
RCG - not sure but guessing Rose Coloured Glasses.

There were plenty of us on TPFP who got stuck into the club when it c*cked up, but it's probably fair to say we were in the minority.

In my opinion one of the biggest problems on that site was the complete inability of many posters ( the RCG wearers ) to come to terms with the fact that Choco had lost the plot, and his continued drafting of has beens, never was players ( I could insert numerous names here ), and ring a ring a rosey game plan, was taking the club nowhere.
In fact there were 3 or 4 who were so over the top in their support, that I suspect they may have had some connection with him, and I'm not referring to the obvious individual.

Even the slightest criticism of the bloke would bring forth a barrage of complaints, and I must admit to being very pleasantly surprised when I joined this site and found there were plenty of straight shooters on here that didn't hold back on their opinions of the whole sorry Choco saga.

I just don't understand list management. 3 yrs for Jonas is a ****ing joke. Not convinced he's best 22, did bugger all last year apart from belting someone. Will likely take game time from Clurey (watch us lose him). Probably should have been delisted, at most should have got a 1 yr extension. WTF is it with giving fringe players multi year contracts? Does our list management never learn?

Its not all that hard to go back over the years and pick out the dud draft choices made.

If Jonas gets games ahead of Clurey next year I'll do something highly irrational.

Never knew about this TPFP Nirvana trip. Sounds like a nice place to visit but a terrible place to stay.

I feel like I'm living a bad Demtel ad.

"Not only did we trade away our first rounder....wait!...there's more..."

Couldn't wait to roll that one out could ya?

 

[Powerade 08]

When was the last time Jonas even played a game? Does he even play football anymore?

 

[Nemisis]

Good News: Port Memberships offer just released - Buy one and get a three year extension.

 

[Magus]

Remember we played West Coast and he killed that guy?

I currently have Jonas in ahead of Clurey, not by much mind you. Another pre-season could easily change the pecking order.

 

[240volt]

I hate it when your on page 80 something and you check your phone in 10 minutes and your on page 115.........you just know it's going to be bad news. Good night boys and girls.

Not unless you have had a sex change F and S.

 

[broombroom9]

so we are going into next year with 1 kpf? with bad ankles?

worked well with rucks last year etc

Now all we need is a long suspension hanging over the head of our other kpf ... ohhh...wait

 

[Power One]

Ive never met him 54. I always liked him and appreciated the highs. The lows sure did suck, but its no cakewalk out there.

Surely if it's close between the two you pick the bloke that's three years younger, has an extra 5cm and has shown plenty of signs that he can grow into a ten year player for us down there? I don't mind Jonas at all, I think he's good depth, but Clurey hasn't done a lot wrong. Sit him down and tell him it's his spot to lose. Instill a bit of confidence in him, let him have a run of games and develop him. Get some new blood in there, we are crying out for it.
