You went to the wrong school if you didn't have a Melanie

See I'm in sales and marketing and I take club statement today to mean........Make us an offer but make it good.
Use of the words "all Australian" to highlight the upside.....Instead of "Andrew Gaff is not on the trade table"
Classic sales ploy......... Accentuate the upside and tease the prospect

 

[Nev57]

Of late when he's not been injured? You mean about 2 games at Royals and a single AFL game when coming back from about a 6 month lay off with no pre season and then an AC injury which ended up resulting in surgery?
Quality observation Nevile.

If u had of read my comment beforehand I mentioned his unlucky injuries and Was a few more than more than 2 games just my take
On it
tbh I was really p---ed off they traded Sinclair would have preferred him
Is that you wallsy

 

[Nev57]

We tried to move him on last year and he refused

Good to see Simmo rules the roost

Or they could just be stating a fact. Any recruiter/list manager who didn't know he was an AA is a potato

Where is this statement?

The only one I've seen says neither side will consider a trade.

Have we been linked to Aaron Hall at all? Would love to see him in blue & gold. Awesome pace and can rack them up.

I just poked my head into your board for the first time to see what wc people think of ah chee. I was very disappointed to hear he will probably leave port and go to west coast. I rate him very highly & could never quite understand why he wasn't given more game time.
I first saw him play in an internal trial game and thought he was Shaun Burgoyne. He looked like a gun in the making, big bodied, smooth mover, good footy brain & excellent disposal by hand and foot. A natural footy player with an afl ready body. I still scratch my head wondering why he didn't get more games, particularly this season when Powell pepper looked cooked. He came 2nd in the Margarey medal in a canter.
If he leaves I genuinely hope wc give him a good run of games and build his confidence because he could/ should be an afl star. Appears to be the complete package but was always on the outer at port.
With all the running, jumping, kicking tests at the draft people often overlook a genuine natural footy player

How have we been sleeping on this kid?

Where is he going on mocks?

IMO he doesn’t really look like a natural “footballer” ... that run up is cringe

Most of the mocks I've seen end at around 20 or 25 and those that go longer are usually by people with a huge Victorian bias.

Therefore, he's pretty anonymous.

Nicholas Shipley heard WCE are strongly considering bidding on this GWS prospect.
And are prepared to use pick 13 on him.

Dont know a lot about him so will be looking into him now.

 

[dajesmac]

People on here will love that. He's a defender.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Agreed sounds like an underwhelming trade period again

Vardy and Mitchell for pretty distant picks was good business.

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

Did you try a search engine? MAybe try a variation of his spelling such as Boner.

Let us know how you get off.

FTFY.

Looks like he is a genuine inside mid 190cm and has good pace

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Everything I've heard about Shipley has been positive. Played well in the All Stars game on GF Day IIRC.

Masten signed a three year deal at the beginning of 2016 back when he was considered best 22. He was dropped to WAFL in 2017.

4 year deal at the start of 2016. He has another 2 years to run
