Bluemour Discussion Thread III

[Jimmae]

everything on the last day again.

Bit of time yet to come Doggy

Exactly: 5 days to go after today.

I'd say SOS is not even worrying about Gibbs trade as he doesn't have to make it work. He has probably said "call me when you're serious" and wandered off to work on some more difficult trades with critical outcomes.

In any relationship it's almost always the person with the least to lose has the most power

Can't see anything happening this week.
It's frustrating in a way, but i'm pleased the club are holding firm and not being bent over by other footy clubs.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Exactly.

No need to rush into deals that won't favour us.

 

[bmaurizio]

The trading period should be reduced greatly.
It's so ridiculous to prolong the it is. So much speculation just creating a bit of hype to feed the media and all associated business.

[Blue__Balls]

I think the issue here is that Adelaide don't appear to have any other deals on the go. If they needed to get the Gibbs deal done so they could move on to other things, we'd probably have seen a bit more movement already.

2012 went for three weeks....

Lots of things start opening up through this period and clubs do need to get all their ducks in a row to make deals.

I don't think they can reduce it too much further, but maybe they will.
Maybe starts one Monday and finishes the next Monday. That way you have the weekend to finalise your offers and it comes down to a "take it or leave it"

 

[serenityNow]

I think it should start on a friday at etihad and end the following friday at etihad.

Any extra time is just added to the stand offs.

 

[Aphrodite]

What sos will come up with will blow your mind!You reckon Mitchell was big.....it's coming!

I smell a rebirth of a banned poster!

Ahern ruptured his ACL after coming back from a knee reconstruction in Feb earlier this year. That rings alarm bells for me.

If he comes us to us, I view it as a salary dump and hope the appropriate discount applies in our trade with gws

Must have been the worst 2 and a half weeks in AFL history.

 

[Dominator_7]

Plenty of players have come back from 2 knee injuries and had long careers.
Id happily swap Pick 5 for 3 stars in the making in Marchbank, Pickett and Ahern.
Use a later pick for Stewert

That one of Earl's Pearls ?

was a very very slow trade - biggest move was Goddard to Essendon

Ahern is apparently on some decent money, you would think we could get him almost for free. I wouldn't mind getting him for peanuts even if he does have to spend next year in rehab, he has more chance to be a long term A-grade player than 2/3 of our list.

 

[Dramoth]

Freo will be offering big cash

You would want to think!

 

[Big Sim is Back]

Norf said to be after Ahern. if they want to cut our grass with Hrovat, should get the mower out with Ahern.

 

[Keyza]

Andy Maher just mentioned this. He said he has heard that it is back on the cards this year and would take a 3rd round pick to get it done.

 

[Kramer1]

Andrejs is an easy type to write off given he doesn't crack in, but we shouldn't under estimate his value...not many of his size and mobility going around, plus a great set shot. If it's not a pick at 40 or so why would we do it?

 

[Dramoth]

LOL... definitely one of #earlspearls... thats been discussed on here for the last 12 months.

probably thinks that afltrade is a legit account with good sources.
