News Crows eye Walker, Jacobs

[Blueboys7]

Given that everyone bar Carlton supporters view Jacobs worth as a 2nd rounder, You'd think Jacobs would not be a happy man if Carlton didnt trade him for his market value. I understand he has a good relationship with Carlton at the moment. But if Carlton refuse to trade him for what he's worth, I could see that pushing him to walk.

How many times do we need to say this? He will not walk! Our club and Jacobs know his value. We gave him his opportunity in the AFL and he appreciates all we have done for him and for that he will not screw us.

 

[Blueboys7]

Do ANY Crows supporters have an opinion on the matter that hasn't been formed on the basis of "Everyone else on bigfooty says..." ??

Seriously, anyone? Has anyone even watched Jacobs play?

Carlton players are not rated on BF. End of story.

 

[Vader]

If he was there at 14 and it was your pick, I am sure you would take him

No, we really wouldn't. Our #1 requirement from this draft (and #2 and #3 for that matter) is for a quality midfielder.

He is young and had 44 hit outs in a final

Against an injured Mumford, who had a mattress strapped to his leg.

In fact based on that, he is worth a top 5 pick

Maybe you guys should go and get a top 5 pick for us if you want him??

Now you're just getting silly.

Don't jump onto the main board though.

Vaders handing out cards for any Blues supporter daring to post on his thread.

Those are being handed out to both Adelaide & Carlton supporters equally - and it's only in one thread, which is clearly (and repeatedly) marked "Carlton and Adelaide supporters are NOT to post in this thread".

I'm liking this game of chicken.

Carlton: We won't take anything less than pick 14 for Jacobs

Adelaide: You can have pick 33, pick 14 is off the table.

Who blinks first?

Close.. its:
Carlton: We won't take anything less than pick 14 for Jacobs

Adelaide: You can have pick 33, pick 14 is off the table. Alternatively, you can lose him for nothing in the PSD.

Who blinks first?

 

[Big Red is back]

Jacobs >>> daylight >>> Tambling in terms of value

 

[Marc Shmurf 3]

His PB is 35 hitouts. His opponents in that game? Cameron Cloke (9 hitouts) and Matthew Kreuzer (8 hitouts).

They have just as much credibility as Swan & Icke.

Even if we lose Griffin and don't get Jacobs we'll still have Maric, Moran, Sellar, McKernan and Craig, with Tippett able to ruck as well. No ruckmen indeed. Load of rubbish. Maric has played 71 games, compared with Kruezer (56 games) and Warnock (33). I'd say we've got the edge in experience..

Tambling fills an identified need in our team - fast outside midfielder. What need do Henderson, Warnock or Armfield fill? I'd back Tippett & Walker ahead of Henderson and Maric ahead of Warnock. Can't see Armfield earning a place in our midfield either.

Your telling us that you feel comfortable going forward with those names as your ruck division... Laughable really.

 

[Sin City]

I wonder if Vader is listening to trade week radio right now?

It's pretty much tanking isn't it

Given what they gave up for Tambling a seconds player from Richmond pick 14 is as good as ours

 

[HARKER]

1726 posts of 'Pick 14' vs 'Pick 33'.

Count them.

That's not exactly right.
They started off with the compensation pick, but once that "star" Tambling became available they fell over themselves to secure his wobbly signature.

A serious ruckman with 10 years left in him, when they haven't any?
"We'll toss a coin on that one" guys.

 

[Malifice]

Tell me about it!

Three more days of this shit.

And I keep checking in here to see if anyone actually involved in the trade has come to a conclusion, and end up wading through 17 pages of 'Pick 14 vs Second rounder' debates. Surely its been argued to death?

Shit its been argued beyond death, reincarnated to torment us in our dreams, argued to death again, raised as some form of advanced undead creature who is capable of sucking the very life force out of the living, before being argued to death again and then vaporised.... only to rise again in the sequel.

Why wont it die?

Just a suggestion on that one Vader. Outline it in the thread title.

Not everyone opts to read the OP, when the thread title says: "Jacobs & Walker. What is a fair price"?

 

[Malifice]

I feel bad for Tambling, he has been judged unfairly, and crapped on and copped abuse by the most bitter 'supporters' in the AFL.

Still, he's a total hack and in no way worth a 1st round and a third round pick.

Adelaide.

Pfft.

 

[KoutoufidesGhost]

If Tambling is worth a top 20 pick, Walker is worth #14.

 

[Sin City]

Imagine how much we'll clean up if the mediators step in.

Swann and Icke say Jacobs is a ten year first ruck, pick 14 in a weakened draft is worth more like pick 22 in a weakened draft, Adelaide have committed to him offering him a contract and first ruck spot as well as needing players to move to SA.

Rendell says one of two things: "we want to keep pick 14" or "I am not a smart man"

Pick 14 categorically off the table, just confirmed by Rhode.

Keep telling yourself that.

Yaaaaaaawn.

How much you want to put on this? Your house? Pick 14 won't be involved, it's a take it or leave it deal. They've got Maric and McKernan, they'll manage if they don't get him. That's more or less where it sits.

That would explain why Adelaide played finals this season & Carlton didn't....oh wait.

Obviously Adelaide have such a good playing list. Must be poorly coached.

No, because it may end up being Talia or Walker yet, wouldn't put it past Swann and Icke to land it

So was Brisbane's pick 12 last year with regards to trading it for Fev.

p.s we got Henderson as well.

If you want him, you will pay. If its pick 14 or the like, it will be what he is worth or nothing.

Mal, you have to understand there are swings and roundabouts with trading and negotiations.

Sometimes the posters on BF get stuck on a Roundabout and go around in circles.

 

[Chism]

That thread on the trading board Vader is a joke.

FFS you have to ask the BF community what they think Jacobs and Walker trade value is to reassure yourself??? So then can come in here beating the chest saying he is not worth pick 14?? Have you even seen him play and did you watch the Sydney final??

Been to the Polls board lately??? Players from Carlton will not get any love from anyone on here and will be shot down at every opportunity. If you are basing his trade value from a one eyed anti Carlton thread from the Polls board on BF you are one sad individual.

Notice most of the replies in that thread are regular Bay 13 posters and general shit stirrers anyway???

 

[jackoisno1]

Thornton to hawks for pick 37
Grigg & 3rd round pick for tigers pick 29
Walker & pick 29 for ports pick 16 &3rd round pick
O'hailpin for a slab of beer
Jacobs & picks 36,37 and slab for pick 14 and Shaun Mckernan

so we end up with picks 14,16,18





i wish.....
