Do we have a full set yet?

[Murray]

With the latest "honest to god, this will happen, true dinks" rumour that Tarrant is off to Fremantle - I think if we can get Hawthorn and North into the mix, we will be able to claim a full set.

 

[magpie_militia]

It will all be over soon Murray.

Do you think we will actually trade Taz though?

He wants out!

 

[jefffff34]

No you say he wants out.

FFS, what ****s me right now is that people start threads saying "Tarrant to XXX"

If it is a rumour, say "Rumour: Tarrant to XXX". If Tarrant actually leaves, then get rid of 'rumour'.

All these threads are misleading and pointless, I hope the mods see this post and take it into practice because these attention seeking twats are just making this place really annoying at the moment.

We're trading Tarrant and Neil Balme to An Ríocht for Martin Clarke, a certified Leprachaun and a bag of potatoes.

Done deal. From a reliable source.

Are the certified leprachaun and spuds adjectives or nouns?

FFS Hoggy, it's the silly season and it's like this every ****en year!

The threads are started on newpaper claims. If they weren't, then we'd shut them down. People are allowed to discuss trade scenarios.

They are euphemisms for our midfield.

 

[Murray]

Yep, he told you that, while he was around at your place last night - right?

I only go on what people say publicly as I am not privy to any other information.

Tarrant has said publicly "I want to stay at Collingwood"
Malthouse has said publicly "I want to see Tarrant line up at full forward for Collingwood next year"

I have not seen or heard of any contradictory quotes from either of them or, from anyone else connected to the club.

So my answer is - No

Murray, be reasonable. If we to be restricted to first hand conversations with the parties involved then we may as well close the board now. Tarrant’s manager is reported in the paper and on radio as saying as much. Reports can be wrong but there’s no point hiding behind a criminal burden of proof. This is the internet not the High Court.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

A full set of Tarrants?

Are we drafting Robbie?

 

[Cyclops]

You've always had it in for the leprechaun!

Mark, I would have thought what I said was the epitome of being reasonable.
Anything else is nothing more than unsubstantiated rumour, inuendo and wild speculation.

I never suggested that the only evidence be first hand conversations.
I would accept a direct quote as being a reasonable source.

What I will never accept is "I know someone at the club who said......."
In all my time on BF, I have only ever known one of those to turn out to be the truth.

 

[Jabso]

Martin Clarke.

 

[Murray]

Martin Clarke.

Well its 2, if you count Martin Clarke

 

[Thaihawk]

Leprechauns make good in and under players.

 

[bluesforever]

A full set of teeth? Nah, don't think you'd find many Pie supporters that do...

 

[Murray]

A full set of teeth? Nah, don't think you'd find many Pie supporters that do...

But we do have a full set of coaches

You?

 

[bluesforever]

But we do have a full set of coaches

You?

I'd rather the teeth actually

 

[Murray]

I'd rather the teeth actually

But they still won't help you grow that brain you have been searching for

This is actually not true. The goal posts have shifted in the last week. Tarrant now wants to go. Murray, I'm beginning to think that you're starting to believe what you want to believe on this one. You clearly dont want Tarrant to be traded..right? Others, however, I think are now entitled to suggest that the likelyhood is that he'll be traded.

Fine, show me a quote, where Tarrant has said he wants to go.

Simple really, isn't it?

Yes, I would prefer Tarrant to stay
But, I have stated clearly many times, that if the right trade came along I would be the first person to wave Taz goodbye.
I don't mind people suggesting he should go, people should be able to suggest what ever they like, but don't confuse that with me clearing the bullsh1t out of my path.

Now, as to that quote, your going to show me.......................?
