Jacob's Request Trade

[Silvagnis]

I wasn't aware that Adelaide's footy manager was representing Jacobs in trade week.

You can stop posting assumptions on this board.

 

[The Coach]

Serious question, no intention of being antagonistic or doing this ping pong shit, but, where do the saints find all this cap room? How can they offer more?

And how is Jacobs #1 ruck at the Saints? They've invested their time into McEvoy, who's a very very good prospect. And that's if Gardiner hangs the boots up as well. In addition to that, Stanley and Lynch are developing to play #2 ruck roles and if Kosi can't play #2 ruck.....they've duck a 3 year contract of rubbish.

Saints go in with McEvoy and Kozi, after Gards retires and when one of the young 2 come on they can give Kosi the arse. I just can't see JAcobs fitting there, especially considering the emphasis on being #1 ruck. That's not to say he'd not fit at other clubs though.

Simple - he is a better ruckman than all of them

So you can all stop mentioning that as a possibility.

So he's not contracted!!!

Why should we listen to your recruiters, on what our player is doing?

I dont think he would resign with us FWIW.

I wasn't aware that you had spoken to Jacobs personally this week.

Because he has obviously had serious talks with the guy and his manager, unlike any of the rumour trolls on here. Ah well, atleast he won't be at your club next year, there is a positive.

If they're silly enough to give two draft picks for Tambling then Swann and Icke will do very well out of them.

St. Kilda's high pressure Zone Defence make McEvoy and Kosi look like they're stuck in quick sand. They're both more mobile than Sauce. You really underrate McEvoy.

lol. Because the Crows football manager said so. Are you serious? I'm just amazed at how incompetent your club has been during trade week. Your officials have zero idea about how to trade. Port have shown the Crows up as a bunch of amateurs by trumping them in the race for Walker. And now we're talking with the Saints about trading Jacobs there. We generously gave your silly club first crack at Jacobs/Walker and they completely stuffed it up, and now you've overpaid for an average player like Tambling. I have no idea why you'd want a frightened HB flanker in the first place. Isn't your list deficiency meant to be rucks and midfielders?

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Jacobs is a way better tap ruck than McEvoy. McEvoy is a 2nd ruck at best. Kosi is more of a forward than a ruck. King has retired, and Gardiner has almost certainly retired. Sammy would be absolutely perfect for them,and that's why they're talking to us. If you disagree, why don't you shoot Ross Lyon an email saying that he's got it all wrong.

Everyone knows Jacobs will end up at the crows no doubt about that StK rumor is crap.
Walker would be disspointing if we dont end up with him.

That's right... because Walker was where the real talent was yeah?

PRE SEASON DRAFT PARTY

Cya there!

Think about it... we can sign him up on a massively front loaded contract equivalent to whatever gap exists in our salary cap. If another club wants to pay $500K a season for a 4th string carlton ruck good luck to them and their salary cap.

Thank you.

Youre right.

But I will get to see a lot more of him at Subiaco.

 

[TOPBLUE_25]

Richard Tambling got Richmond a late first round pick and and early second round pick from Adelaide

So Adelaide supporters are telling me
pick 17-26, and pick 31 for Tambling is good.

but pick 14 and a player for
Walker and Jacobs is rubbish?

Wont get past WCE or the Tigers.

Both have bucketloads of cash in the Cap.

Erm, contradiction much?

So let me get this straight; you're willing to sign a '4th string Carlton ruck' for $500K, and yet other clubs are 'stupid' if they jump in before you and do the same? Therefore, what would that make Adelaide?

So yes, see you empty handed in the PSD!

pick 17. Can be the lowest of pick 19 at 2012, but it's likely there'll be other compo picks being used, ala Geelong, pushing them back. It can be as high as 30-31 this year.

Pick 31? 50, but close.

No we didnt, it was a third rd worth pick 50 at this stage

Saints will lose King and possibly Gardiner this year, Kosi is a dud wherever he plays, Pattison isn't up to it, McEvoy has talent but needs a better tap ruckman to tandem with while he pinch hits forward and makes a much better duo with Riedwoldt. This is why Jacobs can work at the Saints

Happy with that Tambling trade? Care to explain what need that addresses? What a stuff-up.

Its 500k in the first year and then $250k for the remaining two years.

 

[V23]

How about this as an option:

Carlton trade: Jacobs, First round pick (18) and Second round pick (?)

Adelaide trade: First round pick (14) and Daniel Talia

Thoughts?
Queries?
Abuse from Adelaide supporters?

Would Saints have liked someone beating Jolley in tap statistics?

ps I rate McEvoy - would play him as a key forward (Kosi - errh, sad)
