Why do you keep insulting posters with personal comments but you fail to address any of the arguments about football?

It doesn't matter how many people point out how stupid you are, it doesn't sink in.

Unbelievable. you have no self-awareness whatsoever.

You give it, but can't take it.

You like to abuse others, but you can't accept it the other way round.

You are a coward and a hypocrite.

Unbelievable you are still here.
I've stayed away from this thread for a few days and you are still dominating it.

Has this guy lost his GPS or is he gunning it for a Poster of the Year on our board, award?
Strange. :eek:

*Yawn*

I thought starchamber was repetitive and boring until this halfwit came along.
 
That was all written before the rule changes.

Ooops.
If that's the case, then the price for a tall endurance player such as Walker who can play wing, half back, forward and midfield just went up. I reckon that clubs will select a pure ruckman plus a follower and utility/midfielder as the substitute. Few clubs would pick a tall as the substitute given the restrictions on where talls can play. A club could be caught short if they didn't name a tall as one of their three interchange players. That's how the AFL are planning to reduce the speed of the game and the congestion. Mids could be substituted off for a fresh runner, but talls will be needed to maintain your structure.

Nothing's changed.

The Crows could rotate Tippett or McKernan through the ruck whilst Jacobs/Maric takes a breather.

Tactics will be more important than ever.

Doesn't change his ability as a player. You're clearly capable of reasoned posting but you haven't shown any of that in this thread. I second the troll call.

Actually, it does. Jacobs doesn't have a big tank and is not very mobile.

Given the rule changes, it'd be preferable to have a more mobile first ruck - we've already got a Jacobs type in Maric.

Anyway, all the mail from trade week says 2nd rounder for Jacobs - just a matter of when Carlton realises that's all they'll get.

And you are on the Carlton Board.

Now GTFO TROLL :rolleyes:

carlton is playing hardball, so i highly doubt we will accept a 2nd rounder
 
Agreed. Second rounder or bust imo. Feel for Jacobs, sitting 3rd or 4th in line at Carlton going into a year where 1 ruck will probably be enough, and Carlton want to play hard ball.

funny how our 3rd or 4th line ruckman happens to be better than your first :thumbsu:
 
I only read the last page, and it appears that I missed quite a thread. As for the Jacobs trade, I agree that we will get more than a 2nd round pick. It's not like the Crows are the only team that has shown interest in him. If the Crows try to low-ball us (yes, a 2nd round pick would be a low-ball offer), I'm sure there will be another team or two willing to better that.

Might be bust for you too. Actually you'll be the ones looking pretty stupid after agreeing to terms and admitting he will be your #1 ruckman...maybe you can send the Bock compo pick to GC and spend 4 years developing Ceglar......if Collingwood don't trump it with their first pick.......hang on, that's in reserve for Tambling anyway......pick 33 is pick 40 in a compromised draft.....that aint gonna do it.....could be a keystone cops trade week for you........in the meantime good luck with Moran and Maric.
 
Agreed. However Jacobs is no superstar. He is slow and doesnt have a big tank. He is a 2nd rounder.

Endurance is something that can be trained into a player. Tap work, skill and determination aren't as easy to learn

The reason Carlton are playing hardball is because he is a quality young ruckman who could play for you for eight or so years.

Exactly, just ask Hampson. And anyway his endurance is already pretty good, he's a good contested mark and a decent sports scientist at a club will get a bit more speed from him.
 
didn't Carlton offered Robbie Warnock $400k per year over a 3 or 4 year contract which is more than what we are offering Jacobs

and what was the trade?

Warnock and 69 to Carlton for 24, 56 and 72

Carlton have set their own precedent on this issue
