Boak or Gray

[Guest The Boss]

Wouldn't part with Petterd for Grey in a fit. Jones? Maybe...

Give them Aaron Davey.

Gray has been around for like 4 years and you have only "seen his highglights" ... hahahaha.

He played against us twice last year you numpty.

Seriously you are incredible. Thats gold!!!!

Uh... maybe you misunderstand.

Read the post again.

I've not seen much of him, besides his games against MFC, which from memory were fairly average.

Other than that I've only seen highlights and he looks very good, but I imagine that is because they are highlights and I could be overrating him.

Not a difficult concept to grasp.

It's all moot anyway, but I was trying to get a feel on other's opinions of these players.

Boak or Gray

Two Questions:

What do supporters think we'd have to be willing to part with to get one of these players?

What would you be willing to part with for one of these players?

Given Port's notorious hard lines in their previous trading history, I'd think we'd need to give up more than we'd want to, so can't see either being a real possibility.

But a first round pick for Boak - we could use more speed, ball winning ability and clean skills - only that's not going to carry much weight this year.

Using the Brock McLean trade as a guide, Boak would have to be worth quite a bit more than pick 11.

I think our first draft pick is likely to be later than that in 2010.

I wouldn't part with any of:

Grimes, Scully, Morton, Watts, Frawley, Garland, Jurrah, Trengove, Bate.

Possibly a few others.

By the end of the season that group may include McKenzie, Blease or Gysberts, but unlikely.

Gray is a different kettle of fish.

I think he might be worth a Nathan Jones or a Petterd, but not sure if I'd do the trade.

Any reason we needed to start a whole new thread for this KS? what was wrong with the original>?

What if Port made a big play for Jamar?

[Guest Rojik of the Arctic]

Port supporters reckon that he signed on 4 weeks ago according to the Advertiser.

Edit: Gray that is.

Uhh, why do we want them? I think our team's pretty good as it is.

According to one of the articles they did last year, offering a long contract with lots of money; Jamar chose a 1 year deal with MFC.

Yeah, just read about that

[Guest Balls_Grinter_14]

Yeah, just read about that

That tells me he really wants to remain an MFC player. Given how sh'it we were looking last year you wouldn't have blamed him if he wanted to go home and secure 4 years.

Your a very funny guy!!

"Other than that I've only seen highlights and he looks very good, but I imagine that is because they are highlights and I could be overrating him." ... WTF!!!! Are you talking about.

Think it should be you who should read your "rubbish" before you post it.

Stick to watching youtube.

[dee-luded 2,959]

Boak and Gray are young guns ready to take off. I've asked for Gray to be traded for 2 years now so hopefully we can get him.

Gray's a jet but is very injury prone. But hey so is ricky bobby.

Love ricky bobby, get gray is class and would be an upgrade.

Is gray the sort that can be multi skilled, can he, not only play small forward, but has he the skills adaptable to learn a midfield role as well?

I would throw up our first round pick for Boak he is better than what we would get considering the best 17yo have already been signed and the Gold Coast have most of the top 20 picks.

OK. Who's hacked into Keyser's account? There's no way the Keyser who posts here normally would utter anything so... so... oh Geeze. McKenzie will be one of our most important inside mids, and IMO is the heir to Junior's throne once Junior retires. Blease and Gysberts, both high draft picks, both yet to play a single AFL game. Come on mate. Lift! Otherwise you should adopt rfpc's signature - "Apparently I'm better than that!"

Uhh, why do we want them? I think our team's pretty good as it is.

A-f'n-men brother. Well said.

I'm not going to respond to a degenerate.

You just did! Seriously mate, are you okay? You're normally a great contributor.

... who rattled your cage. Your one to talk! Another little youtube know it all.

I think you're looking for Demonology, not Demonland. Off you trot.

I don't think there's any reason why he can't if he increases his fitness.

[dee-luded 2,959]

I don't watch the opposition much these days as I've been flat out watching what we've been doing & not doing for the past 4 - 5 years since I lost faith in our team back in 05 - 06. Thinking we we're in trouble back then.

Now I'll have to try to get interested again in the AFL instead of just being focused on us. Learn to barrack again.

If these young blokes want to dish it out they better start learning how to take it.

But thanks for the advice Barry.

I now understand there is a larger % of posters around here that formulate their opinions from youtube rather than using their own eyes live at the games.

I apologise for my honesty.

Please would a moderator merge these threads. Surely we don't need 2 bobbing about.

I'd agree, but I get the idea he is talking about one of those players in return for Boak who is/will be elite.

I also have to agree on McKenzie - far too important to the side now.

Blease & Gysberts have shown nothing yet & could be busts.

If you traded them for Boak it would be an absolute win.

I completely understand what you're saying here.

You're not alone.

Boak or Gray

.....

I'd go after neither. Boak is 183cm, Gray 184cm. We are talking smalls - forward or otherwise. We have plenty of these. (And Danny Hughes is 186cm.)

We need 193+cm mobile forwards. Spend our $s on this type.

Boak is a bluechip mid, not a small forward.
