Tigers looking at Gawn

Spencer may become a decent 1st choice ruckman, but Gawn will be a better 1st choice ruckman.

hahahaha ... yeah right. But as I said what we think is irrelevant. We are biased.

They are interested in Gawn ... you keep whoever you want because you think he "may become a decent 1st choice ruckman"

You sound so convincing ... other clubs are not stupid. In any trade their is two parties. In the real world, the only way we will move Spencer on this year is for next to nothing, assuming we are only using 3 draft picks is this weak draft. Oh ... yes and we would probably have to cop some of his salary as well.

But yes .... its going to be simple ... you are dreaming!!!

    There is more teams other than Richmond with a shortage of Ruckman

    Ruck Stocks

    Keep

    Jamar

    Martin

    Gawn

    Fitzpatrick

    Campbell

    Trade Bait

    Spencer

    Delist

    Newton

    The only other Tall we might have trouble keeping is Warnock

    Spencer is not genuine "trade bait" ... I cant see any other club being interested after a knee reco.

    The only possibly genuine trade bait would be Jamar, Martin & Gawn ... but we would & should not be interested.

    Where is the bias?

    You act as if I'm trying to convince you or someone of something.

    I simply think that both of Gawn and Spencer have the capacity to become decent first choice ruckmen, and that Gawn will be better, so he is the one we want to keep.

    Other clubs don't have to be stupid. If they are desperate for a ruckman, they can have Spencer - at a price.

    If they don't want him - good on them. They can look elsewhere.

    You underestimate the value of a good ruckman and how other clubs would view his potential and worth.

    What's simple and obvious is that you need some practice in reading others' posts accurately.

    Can I just ask - on SEN they were talking about Max having not yet signed a contract when DB was on last night. Confirm that he in fact has signed til 2013?

    Again you miss the point. Its all about ease of getting the "trade" done. Time after time it is you who displays your complete lack of knowledge about the system.

    a/ Its not "tricky" & b/ If they are desperate for a ruckman, they can have Spencer - at a price.

    What again is even more painfully obvious.

    a/ You cant demonstrate the ability to negotiate in the "real world".

    b/ You have no ability to asses the true ability of the players from both sides of the trade.

    c/ You have no appreciation of the complete complex nature of your very own argument.

    d/ You demonstrate time after time a simplistic onside approach to everything in the trading and drafting process.

    f/ You talk with no logical overall strategy .... combined with the fact you have no ability to outline and compare the current draft or trading situations.

    d/ You just consistently fail to understand where the real power lies in the whole drafting and trading process.

    You are not alone around here. However, you are a wordsmith. Good on you.

    I'm not saying that - I was under the impression from various posting on here that Max had signed a 2year extension, but according to the interview they were chatting as if he hasn't.

    Your posts aren't referring to anything I'm talking about, and you seem to be unable to grasp what I'm saying, so there is no issue of 'lack of knowledge'.

    Once again, from now on you will be ignored in this thread.

    Someone else can respond to your gobbledigook.

    Salary cap pressure ?

    If any club is under salary cap pressure it's Collingwood and Carlton .... not us .

    Yes, salary cap pressure.

    The others (Power clubs) have they're ways of getting buys, don't they.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
