List Mgmt. 2016 Free Agency/Trades/Draft thread Part 3

[Stiffy_18]

It might be worth trading Grigg and Lyons and retaining cey. Lyons has more trade value but I think that cey could still end up the better player.

Grigg has no trade currency. He is out of contract and will be a delisted free agent so that clubs would not want to give up anything for him.

Lyons is someone with some genuine trade currency. If he can get us a 2nd round draft pick I would trade him. CEY provides something different in the midfield in terms of mix.

I just can't see BL coming out and whacking Rocky so hard yesterday unless they were planning to let him go.

Agreed, as I said before. If Brisbane genuinely sack Rockliff for this triviality alone, and he genuinely wants to stay, then he would have an excellent case for unfair dismissal, IMO.

I HATE the red carpet. It continues this demeaning "ranking" behaviour (again, from both sides). That the women fall over themselves to be seen on it in barely anything, is another topic again. Brownlow night should be about the players... the fairest and best (at football). I saw a terrific interview by a feminazi (not that I like feminazi's, just that I liked her interviews) - she was asking the partners what their latest career challenge was. No mention of who dressed them or how long it took them to get ready.

The world is just so fricking "hollywood" shallow, it's sad.

I hate the red carpet for ANY event ... but some people love 'em. Some love watching it, some love being on it. You can check as far back as you like, and people are being judged against some "standard" for how they look.

I personally don't have a problem with the practice of rating someone's looks, what I want my girls to understand is that is counts for nothing. Some bloke saying you are a "3" for looks is really more of an indicator of his personality than anything else. I don't spend much time with my girls telling them how to control others behaviour - more time is spent making sure they understand that they have all the power as to how they feel about something.

"Hollywood Shallow" will always be around. A beautiful woman / man walks into the room ... there aren't many situations where that doesn't cause attention to turn.

As far as Rocky goes, it is funny that we scream when he judges someone in a rude and unfair way ... but we are happy to call out every part of his life without really knowing anything about him. We call footballers soft / gutless / useless / moron and much worse things than 3/10. It's funny when someone makes fun of Ling's looks, or someone comes back from off-season fat etc...

Mistake was that Rockliff didn't seem to understand that saying it publicly was a bad idea, I think we should forgive him that and move along.

PS - oh yeah, I checked with my wife and apparently I am a 10 - which really surprised me. I mean what are the chances of two 10s meeting and getting married ??? Amaze-balls.

 

[pjcrows]

Apparently Peter Schwab said on SEN this morning that Rocky will meet with Fagan today, and that they told Petroro a decision could be made that they part ways, or stay.

Reckon he's gone

It's happening.

But bet he goes to Victoria.

 

[Danger in Texas]

It's happening.

But bet he goes to Victoria.

That's what I'm thinking, unfortunately

Agree if you look at the incident in isolation however this might be the straw that broke the camels back

 

[GROTTO]

It's happening.

But bet he goes to Victoria.

Getting quality players to this state is so damn hard. Sure we got Betts, but that was also because his father was here and not in the best of health.

 

[GROTTO]

Pick 13 for Rockliff? Definitely.

By the way CEY will not garner a 2nd round pick, and Grigg will not garner a 3rd round pick under any circumstances.

Pick 13 wont help win us a flag within 3 years.

Agree with the trade.

Start the car.

 

[Tex200]

It's happening.

But bet he goes to Victoria.

I wonder if we've gone cold on this publicly just so Bris don't assume there is any easy fix?

Oh goodie. Kane Cornes talking about Adelaide.

The pathetic thing about the AFC, is why CEY wasnt given more opportunities to prove his value to the AFC.

Thommo struggled in a lot of games last season, there was opportunities to give him a good extended break and trial CEY for a string of games. Not just 2 disjointed games for the entire year. Should have played 3 games straight at least when we played Ess, Lions and Freo.

 

[SugarShane]

Sounds illegal

So, right up the Carlton CEO's alley then?

Was it Nobe's revolutionary moneyball system which kept Thommo, Mackay, and Douglas in the team? Time will tell..

How do you get that thing working on the AFL mobile app? The Trade Hub page says "To listen to trade radio, tap the <headphones> icon above". But there is no headphones icon that I can see? Link on the website doesn't seem to work on mobile, either :|

In famous Adel FC words, "Try tell Thommo he's not playing"

 

[Deaneus!]

Kane Cornes has actually given a good perspective on Adelaide...

...for a national audience.

top post. also your wife thinks i'm a 10 as well, maybe she's a bit liberal with her ratings?

Summary ?

tl;dr = we're a midfielder short

 

[jenny61_99]

You do realise that it's only the outcry that gives these throw-away lines any power, dont you?

*lights fire, runs away

Saying nothing is why people still think that it's ok to say these things. It's not. Time that people started thinking before opening their mouths. What you say has consequences.

Totally agree. I hate it.

Really get sick of this. For the record - it wasn't Trigg that agreed to the deal. He failed to adequately fix it once it was discovered. It was John Reid - you know, the father of the guy currently responsible for negotiating contracts for the AFC.
