Adam Cooney's Trade Value

[G-Mo77]

I cannot believe the garbage I am reading on here. I would expect this uneducated tripe on Bay 13, not the Bulldogs' board.

Adam seriously injured his hamstring tendon late last year and has had very little preseason. He was never going to have a great season and wont be back to his best until 2012.

Before he went down against Sydney last year he was killing it and was a clear leader in our B&F.

Midnight Oil got it right.......Short Memories.

I'll let the uneducated remark slide. I've seen and played enough footy to know what happens before my eyes. My memory is just fine as well.

It's been the same excuse every year, interrupted pre-season. Plenty of other players have interrupted pre-seasons and they start of the season fine. I'm tried of the excuses, he simply doesn't work hard enough and just coasts most games, maybe that happens in the off season as well? I'm happy for him to prove me wrong because his best is bloody fantastic but until he grabs the game by the balls and shows the will to win I'll stand by what I said in the thread earlier.

It's threads like these that make you shake your head and wonder at this board

I can't recall the last time Cooney kicked a set shot.

If what your saying it correct then he shouldn't be playing.. Football isn't a passenger sport. If your not 100% committed/injured get off the bus!

We have a coach who screams and swears but he can't make the hard calls.. that is a fact!!!

 

[jeemak]

Cooney should be finishing work better, no questions.

But he shouldn't be put up for trade, he gets monstered every week and his output is pretty good. If anything, other players in our midfield and across the ground need to step up and start hurting the opposition with run and accurate disposal. You take care of Griffen and Cooney and our midfield is pretty toothless.

 

[stefoid]

So to be clear - you want to trade him because hes out of form?
or because you suspect his knee is going to permanently restrict him?

it doesnt matter! he shouldnt even be considered as a trade option

Can you imagine if we had Cooney in against stkilda in last years prelim final?? i tell you right now that he couldve been the difference in us winning and losing

 

[011TheYrOfTheDog]

Because unofficially we are now in rebuild. We now need picks and therefore anyone who has value is tradeable.

the bloke is 25 not 35!

we need to rebuild a side around him not without him

Terrible thread. Cooney and Griffen are untouchable and locks to be guns for many many years to come. How many clubs have 2 midfielders of that ilk 25 or under? It is frustrating that he is kicking badly for goal and isn;t playing up to his capabilities, but you don't trade someone for a bad few weeks coming off a limited pre-season

 

[The_Flying_Egg]

Lets say we could swap him for an amazing young player. Im talking a straight swap for a Nat Fyfe, or a Phil Davis, or even a Jeff Garlett. What would you guys think?

I would think the club had made one of the most terrible trades in the history of the AFL

I don't know what I dislike more. That you want to trade Adam Cooney or that you have such a low opinion of his trade value. Is your theory to get Garlett and build a side around him??

 

[G-Mo77]

thanks EJ whitten

Don't know why you would have a problem with my post? I never said I knew it all just put across my case that I'm not an uneducated football supporter.

You've got some nerve poking at others with your "quality" posts over the past few weeks. Didn't you get red carded from here anyway?

FWIW I wouldn't even consider trading Cooney. I just think he needs to lift his game, a lot!

 

[beaser]

I know hes always been the laid back laconic type but at the moment his body language looks like playing football is a real chore to him.

I would not be to upset if we got a Ablett type trade with GWS as Geelong got with GC. Could be good for us and them.

Looked the same at training. Something askew with Cooney either mentally or a hidden injury.

Here's a good idea - what about trading a Rolls Royce with a flat tyre for a Datsun with four good tyres?

 

[d0gs]

Stupid idea, you don't see many Brownlow Medalists used as tradebait......

Dont know about you, but there's a man called Ryan Griffen you could build one around.

I would love our side to look like this come 2014-2015

FB: Wood Marko (DRAFT PICK)
HB: Picken Williams Howard
W: Griffen Boyd Sherman
HF: Higgins Jones Garlett
FF: Vespremi Roughead Grant
C: Cordy Liberatore Ward
INT: Wallis Tutt Skinner
SUB: Reid

Delicious

No way, cooney and trade never to be mentioned again.

It would look a hell of a lot better if there was a guy named Cooney instead of fricking Garlett. If we did that trade we would be the laughing stock of the competition

Good read. Now lets see how Cooney responds this weekend.

 

[JJHunter]

You dont see too many brownlow medalists miss chances to seal games or lift his team over the line either. Not too many butcher the ball like he has the last season and a half......

I for one don't want him traded just saying that cause the guy wins a brownlow doesnt give him a trade free pass.... Ask Shane Woewoddin !

Sums it up I reckon. Darcy you have to be joking. Give us results mate not excuses why you can't kick a footy straight for 6 points. Stick to Hong Kong they love ya. Hahahahaha.
