Traded Devon Smith [traded to Essendon]

[HumanMeatball]

how the hell can you claim Smith and Stringer are "very similar"? lol

Both predominantly forwards who play small bursts midfield, both unlikely to be full mids

 

[HumanMeatball]

Please don't ignore me.

What did you say

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Zach and Darcy are gonna get bashed up next year.

can't see why. They weren't this year, what's changed? You think Jobe was running bodyguard duties?

 

[DapperJong]

Both predominantly forwards who play small bursts midfield, both unlikely to be full mids

Hey would you rather those guys on field or Green and Colyer?

 

[DapperDon]

Dodo Can't get players

to

LOL you don't need those players

Never change Tel

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Tigers fans emerge from the woods as list management gurus, after wandering aimlessly for 30 years.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Not sure the point your trying to make. Martin is rightfully on what those players earn combined as he is 2 to 3 times the player both are combined

the point I'm making is that list management can be done in any number of ways and you thinking EFC getting Smith and Stringer would hurt the cap is laughable.

 

[rainwizard39]

I know I shouldn't but can you point out where Dodo asked for both of them?

He most certainly did enquire about both but i highly doubt you can find anything about him asking for both.

Good assumption of what i meant. Huge sarcasm by the way.

Never said he wanted both in the same trade meant he asked for one of them with our first round.

 

[DapperJong]

Actually **** it.

All you opposition supporters are right.

I'm really pissed off a good player nominated us.

This ****ing club!

 

[DapperDon]

You wanted wingard and wines hahaha just laghable. They didn't want to leave for druggies anyway.

Hahahahaha, **** me you are offended and it's not even involving Port

It's ok bro, Shuey will probably miss next time

You're smarter than that.

Most times

 

[HumanMeatball]

I rate colyer while green is a spud. I’d prefer smith who I actually rate mind you and colyer as stringer has huge baggage, doesn’t get much of the ball and is seriously out of form. I’d be putting the 600k stringer will get in the bank for an inside mid

 

[Lance Uppercut]

you are entitled to your opinion but that doesn't mean it's remotely correct

Stop talking shit

He enquired about players, seeing as you took our best ruckman he wanted to be compensated fairly.

You offered pick 19 and cried how difficult we were being, then on the last day you added your second round pick and the deal got done.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

You're smarter than that.

Most times

obviously I'm not Tel, can't you spell it out for me? Genuinely interested as to why Zach and Darcy are going to be beaten up a lot next year

 

[andrewb]

Maybe we can get a Bryce Gibbs or a Marc Murphy to run protection

 

[DontArgue4]

not all that laughable

rockliff/kennedy + smith would have been a much better outcome for your team balance

no doubt adding stringer and smith to replace colyer and green is a plus, but still not the absolute best outcome imo

 

[Milanista28]

Smith potentially plays midfield but isn’t a hard inside mid. Stringer won’t

12 months ago people called the Tigers nuts for allowing Vickory go without bringing in any tall forwards and look what happened, Good coaching learns to adapt and make do with what's available.

 

[DapperJong]

I rate colyer while green is a spud. I’d prefer smith who I actually rate mind you and colyer as stringer has huge baggage, doesn’t get much of the ball and is seriously out of form. I’d be putting the 600k stringer will get in the bank for an inside mid

But there's no inside mid mate.

Seeing you only rate Colyer ahead of Stringer due to baggage tells me you rate Stringer as a player over Colyer as 100% of people who follow the game would.

So your answer is Smith and Stringer.

 

[TerryWallet]

Maybe we can get a Bryce Gibbs or a Marc Murphy to run protection

That's exactly why we've been shit.

Hammer. Nail. Head.

Carlton had Kennedy wrapped up, Port got Rockliff

Now, show me where all these players are that we can get?

You want him? You can have him!

Only idiots would think vickery leaving was bad

see reply to AndrewB

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

Good for the Bombers. As the shit fight suggests, it doesn't address their most pressing need, hard bodied mids, their midfield needs help, BUT

anyone suggesting this doesn't significantly improve their side is kidding themselves.


Remember when evryone was saying we didn't need/paid to much for Prestia? Funny how it worked out.

The list managers at the Bombers aren't idiots, there are reasons behind this.
