Recruiting Trade & Free Agency VII

[Lore]

We can't trade our first without bringing another first in.

 

[boncer34]

This is revisionist and terribly biased. He missed 20 games from 16 different suspensions.

All for just ankle taps yeah?

Yep

 

[DapperJong]

Not sure why Fletcher didn’t cop a life time ban considering once you reach 16 games you’re meant to be suspended for life.

 

[ghostdog]

Not sure why Fletcher didn’t cop a life time ban considering once you reach 16 games you’re meant to be suspended for life.

Because he wasn't a thuggish campaigner, just a campaigner.

I’m pretty certain that rule applies at all levels bar AFL

 

[DapperJong]

Luckily for him:

I don’t quite get this moral standing on a player any team would have.

Greene has been found guilty of 18 offences since debuting in 2011.
Thats 2 a year.

Fletch toed the line and fell over it relatively often, yes.
But Greene is another level.

To the point where we wouldn’t have him play for us?

Please.

 

[Haychh]

Some dickheads have so much talent that it’s just worth putting up with their sh*t. Toby Greene is one of those dickheads.

 

[Milanista28]

Bloody love Tobes, now that's someone worth 2 1st rounders

 

[TheGrizz]

To the point where we wouldn’t have him play for us?

Please.

I never said anything about not wanting Greene to play for us, I would still take him for sure. You can aim that response at someone else, thanks.

I was purely responding to the disciplinary histories of Greene and fletch being compared

 

[PhoenixBonez]

Fletch is an Essendon great who I would not want to part with and I don't think GWS would accept him for Greene anyway.

 

[ghostdog]

To the point where we wouldn’t have him play for us?

Please.

I said I would accept Greene under sufferance.

 

[Xavier Menzies]

I lol.
In the twos today someone asked Adrian if a big body mid was on his wish list

He smurked.

Tbf he did play 7000 games.

Your 16 games limit gets refreshed once you turn 35

 

[citizen-erased]

Bloody love Tobes, now that's someone worth 2 1st rounders

yep. Grunt mid/elite forward/opposition mind * extraordinaire
He and Dev were great setting a strong example early days that GWS weren't going to be pushed around. I seem to recall they went toe to toe with the unsociable hawks. i was impressed.

Would love him in red and black. you can't help but think Sheeds instilled that in him early on.

 

[yaco55]

At the end of the day if JD wants to leave then move him on - Some say he'll win us a GF while I believe it's more likely he'd lose us a GF.

 

[Lore]

I'd like to get to a grand final before worrying about that part personally

 

[yaco55]

The last thing we need is players with below average skills, especially midfielders.

 

[Keystone agony]

I don't think inside mids necessarily need great skills if other parts of their game are very good

Fyfe, L.Parker, Taranto, Dunkley, Worpel, Wines, Oliver all have pretty avg skills but I'd have any in a heart beat.

 

[Burzum]

I lol.

We want ones who can kick the ball though.

 

[TDay]

Do we really have a no dickheads policy? Any chance that limiting the pool of talent we draw from could be hurting us?

Think we have our share of dickheads

Only forward on our list that has performed in a final. (twice)

He's really the only one that the opposition can't shut down, if JD turns up there's very little an opposition can do to stop him, similar to Franklin. Too big, too athletic, too talented. Difference is Franklin has been extremely durable until the last season or so, JD hasn't.

Franklin more brilliant on the ground no doubt but Joe overhead is hard to stop when he’s on.
