It was a stupid comment. You could name more Hawthorn players traded out in a similar period playing better now. Does that make Clarkson stale?Over-sensitive much

I get it contracts mean squat. Heck there is even talk about Blakely leaving only months after re-signing. Even looking at BHill he has two years remaining and Gus Brayshaw actually has another three years.
I like the thinking and agree Frost leaving isn’t going to help them greatly. Perhaps Jesse Hogan could enlighten Belly on who to potentially target. I had a look through the list and Jayden Hunt and James Harmes were two names that came to mind. Gary Lyon is calling for them to give Tomlinson a miss and focus all in Whitfield for 2020. Will be interesting to see what happens.Yeah I fully expect it to be almost impossible but the shedding of Frost surely wouldnt help them got Whitfield. Would save them what, 400k a year, he's not worth much more than that. Given their history, he's also one you'd imagine they need to keep so its a strange one to me.
Shedding one of their 4 quality inside mids make more sense to me but what would I know
If you think Ed's kicking is bad you'll absolutely love Hunt.I like the thinking and agree Frost leaving isn’t going to help them greatly.

Will take your word. I haven’t seen a lot of him. One game he lined up for a crucial long goal and the commentators said he was no chance and he nailed it. But I do remember lots of turnover field kicking.If you think Ed's kicking is bad you'll absolutely love Hunt.
Harmes is a good player. Solid B grader.
Being kind to some of those players re B grade rating.Will take your word. I haven’t seen a lot of him. One game he lined up for a crucial long goal and the commentators said he was no chance and he nailed it. But I do remember lots of turnover field kicking.
My preference is use the draft pick.
Of the B-graders Nick Robertson, Blake Acres, Kamdyn McIntosh and Sam Powell-Pepper. I feel Blake Acres has shown the most.
Best outcome is we get Acres relatively cheap and keep Blakely (sort out the issues).
Personally, I think you have to be a pretty grubby person to create and spread rumours like the one that has been spread regarding blakely. Absolutely tacky and shows no class whatsoever.
Yes indeed - I’ll take your point onboard. Robertson would be a C-minus. Not sure where to grade SPP - showed a bit in year one but bog ordinary the season just gone (C-plus). Blakely and Acres are B grade rating.Being kind to some of those players re B grade rating.
#5 and #6 don't apply at all hey. Certainly not a case of trying to make it look like they important and knowledgeable people with connections inside the club.Interesting little psycho web page on "rumour"... http://socialpsychonline.com/2015/09/psychology-why-rumors-spread/
would say it has no relevance whatsoever to BF rumours
Perhaps. I think it's that the same rumour (Blakely <> Langdon) popped up across multiple different sources at the same time that gave it wings. It doesn't help that it's reported that Blakely has been offered up in tradeI think it's very weird how quickly quite a few were convinced it was true and not only that were happy to speculate on on a whole bunch of 'details'.
Who knows whats true and whats not but it was only a few months ago that anyone suggesting anything bad about Ross was shouted down but now a half reliable story is enough to sell Blakely down the river.
Weird.
Certainly not a case of trying to make it look like they important and knowledgeable people with connections inside the club.
It's equally possible that people have heard things legitimately. You don't know who people know

Oh man, sure is fun being called grubby and classless for sharing and expanding on something that I didn’t bring up in the first place. Never mind the fact that I had heard the rumor weeks before it was brought up in here but didn’t say anything.
For the record, I joined a discussion group a while ago and they talk about rumours and things, there is a lot of rubbish that I don’t put here because I have no way of knowing it’s true. I have posted two rumours from that board.
1) Worsefold was leaving Essendon regardless of the finals result. After I posted several media people said the same thing, the whole succession thing then comes out so there’s seems to have been something behind it that wasn’t complete bs
2) The Blakely thing. Hackdorn mentions it, someone here asks, I say what it is. Media says we are happy to trade Blakely despite just re-signing, read into it what you will.
I have apologised to people privately for talking about said rumour and promised I would not talk about it anymore but my ego won’t let me not-so-subtly be called things and do nothing.
For what it’s worth, my understanding is that an online supporters discussion forum is for discussing everything to do with your club. I would personally love more people posting rumours they were confident about, getting trade info first is one of the main reason I love bf. However, I can understand that in the age of social media, negative rumours even in a semi closed space like this can have consequences so I’ll personally refrain from posting and discussing negative ones.
Have a great day everyone, sorry for the rant and tangent. Move to another thread Taylor if that’s required
Tbh I’m not sure what your apologising for?

Maybe it is a response to your blue stripe, but it is all silly and part of the nasty side of this site. We pretty much lost our pre-season training reports from similar behavior. With the club in a bit of upheaval and re-generation posters are perhaps a bit more emotional than usual, plus it seems to have drawn in a few new posters with the quite specific opinion that Sumich is the way forward. This Board has cycles, and this is not the happiest cycle it has been in.Oh man, sure is fun being called grubby and classless for sharing and expanding on something that I didn’t bring up in the first place.

Hard to go passed Keplar.We could do with a stupidly genius wizard footballer who will make us cheer at the genius, cry at the mistakes or simply laugh at the stupidity...trying to think of examples..Mark Jackson comes to mind....Tobi Green....Ballas was up there...
