Only tradeable if we get a pretty decent deal
Bassett
Biglands
Burton
Bode
Clarke
Edwards
John****
Ladhams
Stenglein
Welsh
McGregor

Tradeable
Crowell
Doughty (due tom midfield depth)
Fitzgerald
Gallagher (due to midfield depth)
Handby
Hewitt
Massie
Perrie

Hentschel
Reilly
Schuback
Skipworth
Smith

Delist/Retire if not traded
Angwin
Beinke (retired)
Marsh
Nelson
Shirley

Rookies
Bock
Mattner

We would appreciate any thoughts or trade ideas.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

King Crow has joined the team, but trading ideas are still very welcome.

 

[MarksGirl-kbcrowgirl]

please don't trade Stevo

Please don't trade Stevo my little heart will break if you do!

 

[crazed_crow]

can't trade doughty, or else my little heart will break as well

 

[King Crow]

Dont worry MarksGirl-kbcrowgirl, Stevens will not be traded, no chance!

As for Doughty ...he could be packing up his e-bags

 

[ant]

At this stage, only trade has been Angwin for Bulldogs second round pick.

But be warned, heads will roll tomorrow in pursuit of Carey

If we can get ANYTHING for Marsh or Crowell I will be very happy.


Any chance of getting Michael Voss??

 

[Davo75]

I would love to see the back of Michael Doughty!

However I have a feeling that The Reids and the Doughty's are pretty friendly!!!

It wont happen unfortunately.........

Will you ladies please realise that Football is not a fashion parade of good looking footballers........... your little hearts might break but .......... the uglier the better I say..........

I cant stand the way Michael wipes his hands on his shorts before taking possession of the ball.......... That right is reserved for Class Players........... sorry you dont fall into that category!

I think Tyson Edwards should be bumped up a bracket.

Nor should it.

He's a good player with a great football brain, skills, and loads of potential.

 

[DaveW]

What more do McLeod, Ricciuto and Hart have to do to become legends of the club?

And Edwards should at least be in the second bracket, if not the top!

We're struggling to get a 5th round pick for Marsh...seems our bleating about how bad he is has gotten through to the rest of the football world.....

Crowell and Doughty are both on the chopping block, while James Gallagher is creating a bit of interest.

And we'll probably struggle to get M. Voss but we'll do our best....

 

[DaveW]

I think we should keep Marsh, I can't see who else is going to replace Clarke. What will happen if Clarke or Biglands gets injured next season?

Doughty and Gallagher should be kept. Doughty's early season form was fantastic and Gallagher was good but wasn't given enought opportunity.

Crowell proved a very useful utility and should also be kept.

Perrie too, I feel, should be hung on to. 2003 will probably be Smart's last year, and Ben Hart isn't getting any younger, we need tall defenders and I feel Perrie should be groomed for this role.

So who do I think should we get rid of?

Ben Nelson was utterly useless this year despite being given more than his fair share of chances. Get rid of him.

Daniel Schell had some descent performances but too often didn't look like he was giving it his all. He can go.

And Evan Hewitt. Mr Useless himself. Why did we ever recruit that hack? Has he ever played a good game of AFL footy in his life? We'd be better off with Lleyton.

Offer them McLeod McGregor Crowell Marsh and Shiley

I will put that offer to Brisbane's representatives and we'll see what they say

DaveW, this is a fantasy game so everyone is tradeable. We're looking at getting another ruckman and a youngish tall defender, together with Carey. In this game, Carey can be traded to any club and the bidding has gotten rather high. We're doing our darndest to get the best deal but we're going to have to give up more than we probably would in real life.....but it's all just a bit of fun really

Is Damian Cupido being offered by the Brisbane traders? Only for a good price (not worth a first round pick).

At this stage we haven't talked with Brisbane's reps...they weren't present at initial trade talks last night, but we will be inquiring about Cupido and Bradshaw in due time.....at this stage complicated talks regarding Carey are taking priority.

 

[marvin]

Thanks ant.

How can the Carey talks be complicated? He's already on our list - I saw a photo of him in a Crows guernsey in the Herald-Sun a few weeks ago. Though he's skinnier than I thought - he's probably not much bigger than Brett Burton.


Keep up the good trading.

Cheers, it's all a bit of fun, I just wish things were slightly more realistic

Any advice from Crows supporters is much appreciated.

Don't take no for an answer!!

& please can we trade Marsh for Brogan?? we could even offer Beinke as a sweetner,

 

[Damp Squarie]

Smart

i doubt very much that dogga and gags will be traded or even delisted. Doughty has shown some great form this year whille Gallagher has some talent which he has yet displayed to the coaches. I think Crowell stepped up during the second half of the season, but he has been on our list for a while now

1: dogga being my fave player has nothing to do with his looks, so dont assume things

2: doughty has been great this season so why would gary get rid of an up coming star?!?

3: as for the wiping of the hands, can easily say that i've NEVER noticed it before, but trust me, he will be a Class Player in the future!!!

As has been rumoured, we're trying to get a slab or possibly a double pack of Ruffles chips for Marsh.

In reality, Dogga and Gags would not be delisted, but their names may come up for trade. That's what we're doing with them...we're exploring all options to improve the list.

Could you have a go at Marsh/Angwin for Mark Jamar?
