Yeah lets trade a bloke who is just as quick, just as good a kick, better mark for a non gutt running squib....yeah makes sense....

Some people just don't understand sarcasm.

Love sarcasm but unfortunately you can't be sure on this board!
I find one of these usually helps...

Simpson traded to Geelong for pick 50 something. Seems a win for us.

I am going to assume that was sarcasm, as I honestly don't want to believe that there are Carlton fans out there that are dumb enough to actually believe that.

As for stupid comments, you'd be amazed how many brain-dead fans there are out there. Just check the Collingwood board if you need any examples.

Of course it was a joke. We will never get pick 50. Try trading for Mark Blake

Reminds me of a "conversation" that I had with a few Melbourne fans after our second convincing thumping of them this year. I stated that they didn't have a midfielder as good as Simpson and they laughed at me. They essentially said that Simpson was a very average footballer and not the type of player that any of their players should aspire to be.

WOW. Really!? They actually said that!?!?

Try doing a BigFooty search for their forum's post match and game day threads. Much the same there. Simmo has to be the most underrated (or simply under appreciated) player in the AFL or one of them. Other teams fans have also said similar things.

Then again there seems to be a large group of football fans that are very quick to criticize any of our midfielders not named Judd and Murphy, particularly Gibbs and to a lesser extent Simpson. Then in the very next breath will compliment Carlton for having one of the best midfields going around. Go figure.
