Mega Thread Trade Targets 2014

Why is his nick name bomber?

His nickname from childhood actually was 'Bomba'. From what i recall was to do with him being right into the 'Bomba the Jungle Boy' movies. When he started playing at Essendon people started referring to him as 'Bomber' assuming it had something to do with Essendon.

Can trades happen after 5pm

 

[gab213]

Any good teams wanting Boyd

Not a good team but apparently St Kilda has just thrown their hat into the ring.

 

[blue healer]

It does appear that this is currently the thread to be seen in, however.
That hour up yet?

That's the only reason i've been hanging around. Oh well another hour wasted.

 

[blue healer]

As long as it'll last me.

I need to see some level of planning before entertaining that sponsorship, and it's too late now I may just go myself.

The Age saying stk chasing Boyd now too.
GWS want to wait until next year because they know every team in Vic will want him and get more than just Griffen.

 

[Aphrodite]

Is there a mod on duty here?

If so, would they care to delete the pages and pages of crap here so that fans with a spare 5-10 minutes can come and get a little actual news on "trade targets" and "trade happenings".

Or even a little order to posters to keep the crap to a minimum would be handy.

They are all on a 'coffee break' & smoko!

 

[Aphrodite]

It begins for this week ...............

Everyone is after a scoop, so it's hard to take too much out of anything coming out from journos for at least another 3 days.
Don't really care for much else other than for what happens for us.

Christensen for #21. Bang!

There are mods on 'duty' here but individually we do not read every post.

We do our best but there's only so much we can do and there's a fine line between garbage and off-topic posts. We clean up a hell of a lot of garbage but we'd be neglecting the forum atmosphere if we got rid of all of the chat that inevitably occurs between posters who form relationships over a period of time.

Posters have been told countless times to stay on topic but ultimately the decision is theirs as it is their board. We don't run the board.

If you are sick of the crap the simple answer is not to read every post, or to use the forum functionality to follow particular posters who you enjoy reading.

I believe there is also a thread for completed trades.

Alternatively you could go to Paige Cardona's FB page...

It may be more pertinent to the Rumour thread, but I posted in the suggestions about maybe having a process where people who actually post something worthwhile use a thread-specific hashtag that people can follow at the end of their post.

Followers should get an alert when it's used? Might help sort the chaff from the gold.

EDIT: As an example, maybe #CFCTrade for this one and #CFCRumour for the rumour thread.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Why thank you JK!

Just be aware as part of my contract negotiation I will be applying for a PMS also.....

Priority Muffin Selection.

This is like watching grass grow taking forever.

Have a feeling you may not have to wait much longer.

Not quite of the calibre of a Libba vibe, but just a feeling.

 

[MC_Doggy_Frog18]
