I hope not, I have enjoyed watching him play for us at least as much as any other Giant

Might be time for our hall of fame if he is done. I actually haven't been to HQ do we have one yet?

We must have a special class if members though. The member count is around 80 and they aren't on sale yet. I'm guessing it's staff and partners of players and the like. Not sure how it works exactly.
Is it just Cotisserie members?

I think its more an award. Sheeds is the only one.

Gotta be retired 5 years before you’re eligible for the HOF.
No point starting it for another five years

Unless you want to get the early jump on the Gerald Ugle induction.

I thought the club could make up the rules as it went along. Did Gerald get stage fright?

I'd prefer Rhys Cooyou.
Didn't someone use his name once before on here to post???

 

[Andre the Giant]

Bret Thornton

The birth registry didn’t even care enough about him to give him the extra t....decided to save the ink.

I see your Thornton and raise you a Gilham...

Actually, I think you’re right. I think I meant Rhys Cooyou. Kicked a goal with his first kick in AFL football, had two more kicks in his one and only game. Ugle played 3 games - not who I was thinking about at all. I should have looked it up first.

I see your Thornton and raise you a Gilham...

Gilham (15 games) was slightly more useful than Thornton (1 forgettable one)

Thornton is by far and away the biggest waste of brininging anyone in from another club.

He had retired, hadn't he, before we called him up?

Nope, just delisted.

 

[Snookers]

Nope, just delisted.

For good reason too.

 

[dlanod]

Up to five clubs in the market are kicking the tyres around delisted Fremantle ruckman Zac Clarke.

Marc McGowan reports that Greater Western Sydney, the Brisbane Lions, Carlton, Melbourne, Richmond and the Western Bulldogs all have need for an experienced, back-up ruckman.

Freo Rejects R Us.
Serious though, would it not be better to invest in a young ruck ?

I would agree. If Mummy retires but we go down the route of playing Rory Lobb as the main (mobile) ruck with backup from Patton/HH, then the backup rucks are Simpson & Flynn playing NEAFL regularly, and filling in either (a) if Rory needs a break or is injured or (b) a double ruck is required for a certain team. In either case, Matt Flynn then gets some time to act as solo ruck in NEAFL, which is good for his development. Now, we do need to account for the case where Rory & Dawson are both out injured - in which case Matt Flynn should get his chance, and you need someone to ruck in NEAFL, which to me would be a junior developing ruckman, who could be on the rookie list. Getting another main list ruckman and playing Lobb as main ruck, means that NEAFL would have 3 ruckmen, and Flynn's development gets stifled. Is there a risk that we get exposed in the case of multiple injuries - yes. But the alternative is that we've got too many rucks on the books, and long term development of Flynn suffers. I'm prepared to take the chance.

I understand why we want more, and the future second rounder is unders IMO, but I suspect we'll end up back at this point.

 

[Gigantic]

Honestly thought that's what the club would have been okay with.

He's definitely worth a late 1st but given the circumstances I think next year's 2nd would be reasonable. Guess there's no harm in trying to squeeze a bit more return

 

[Giant Strides]

Perhaps the club is also looking at the fact that Wilson & Kennedy seem likely to be future picks; & given that the Smith trade seems destined to be a furball and potentially end up a future pick too, Wilson is the one trade that we have some leverage to get a 2017 pick because he's still in contract. So extending the trade negotiation by squeezing just a touch more out also uses up time. The ability to trade future picks was meant to make trading easier, but it seems that everyone just wants to trade future picks because it hurts them less this year, and then because they don't know exactly where they fall on next year's ladder plus next year's draft is always 'better', it introduces a bit more ambiguity about what is ;fair value'.

Or they could just be playing hard ball on a first round pick if that's honestly where they value him.

Hi guys, please don't trade us Tomlinson. Thanks

Haynes on the other hand....

Always trade for future picks, because humans are optimistic about the future.

I have no problem with future picks per se, but this year we have two (possibly 3 if Mummy's injuries are too great) retirements on top of losing our first round pick, and having traded out our third round pick - so trading out 3 players all for future picks leaves us quite short for the national draft. We can get 1 or 2 DFAs, or upgrade someone off the rookie list so it's not a gigantic problem, but then we have excess picks next year and potentially only the one retirement. So I would think that one more reasonable pick this year is better than all 3 players bringing in 2018 picks. IMHO.
