2019 Trade thread

Laird would be a great get if he is in fact looking at leaving the crows

 

[Dylan12]

Daniels read that better, and had a full head of steam. Yeah Daniels is probably faster than him too, not everyone is going to be the same speed.

If he can’t run any faster, he can’t run any faster. What do you want him to do about it?

Not quit and apply a modicum of pressure for reasons previously stated, but I guess quiting and giving up is acceptable.

Sorry, can you just read what I said again? If he literally cannot move any faster what do you want him to do? The bloke was cooked.

He was supposed to teleport

Apply pressure

 

[StevoJenkins]

Wouldn’t mind throwing Jamie Elliot a lifeline..

We won't get him, he's been given/told by Melbourne that they'll give him more than Collingwood will offer. I don't think we'll try to match that.

Apply pressure

How though if he cannot run faster

 

[Football Pope]

There's not always an outside player worth tagging and I'm not sure he's up to tagging someone like Cripps or Bont.

Dunno, reckon he has the engine...doesn't Robertson win the endurance trials?

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Two things I think we missed last night, were forward marking targets and speed between back and midfield. Davis and Haynes outmarked our forwards and Williams showed us exactly what we lack, he was a terror. So I really hope we trade in a big forward, someone who draws the main defender away from Charlie and Hippy. And I'd love to get Williams or a similar player who is an absolute jet.

BRAB help, I might as well bash my head against a brick wall right now.

That's what makes him suited to tagging outside players.

Melbourne have offered a lot of coin for a bloke with suspect hammies...

Mate we all get you’re disappointed and hurting...we all are. But you’ve had your say and expressed who and what you’re angry with. What are you hoping to gain by repeating it over and over again? Will it take the entire forum to agree with you? Won’t happen.

Didn’t you say yourself early in the 2019 thread that a lot had to go right for us to finish above 12th? A lot did go right...and yes we fell short at the end. I can’t tell you how to feel but I truly hope for your own emotional well being that you’ll soon be able to reflect on the “half full” part of the glass, and find some joy in what the team we love brought us this season. Hope, passion, excitement....pride!

(Sorry mods I know it’s the wrong thread for this)

They need someone who can lead, they have one forward who can do that, the rest get beat by 1 one 1's with talls. They shouldn't have shipped Hogan.

 

[Squizz89]

If our medical team, who at the moment are the best in the business, think that Elliott will be fine long term then I’d have no issue offering a long term deal. We showed last year with Adams we aren’t afraid to offer an extra year for a guy who comes with a suspect injury history.

Either way I think ideally we need to get another match winner into the team, whether that be through the midfield or up forward. As I said last night our attack really went to shit the last month and we seemed to be relying on Charlie or bust.

 

[Football Pope]

That's what makes him suited to tagging outside players.

Wasn't questioning that ....A few years ago he tagged Dusty, ran with him most of the day ..just lost it in other areas ( went the getting under the skin a bit far with kneeing and headbutting) that said Robertson did a great tagging job last night..if De Boer can run with Bont or Cripps I see no reason Robertson can't.

They seem to have the knack of getting rid of their uninjured loyal players for half-cooked undisciplined players...

 

[Bucking Beads]

A good medium defender, more pace in midfield and a marking forward should all be on the shopping list this off season.

 

[FFB1]

Disgusting comment. Go and watch the replay last night - he played an extremely good defensive game.

It wasn’t really disgusting. He lacks speed, there’s no two ways about it.

 

[FFB1]

Nick Robertson Showed why he should be played more he kept the apparently the best player in the AFL quite we don't really have a tagger either

Did his job well, keep the ball out of his hands though.

Those that follow the trade circle, who’s out of contract in the way of big KPF’s?

None. KPF don't magically become available - unless something appears out of the box I can't see us being able to add a significant upgrade in that spot this offseason.

I'd even argue mcstay was the best KPF available on the market before he signed his new contract.

We're just going to have to be patient I think. Fages will be working hard on our forward structure over the off season for sure.

Yep pretty much. Josh Bruce is a better (but older) player but by all reports he's going to the dogs, and Daniher seems to be Sydney or bust (plus I have no idea how we could satisfy the bombers in a trade).

Improving the quality of our entries will go a long way to making our key forwards look a lot better too.
