Viney12 196 Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 West Coast - likely Wellingham Hawthorn - made the GF, don't need much North - likely Caddy Bulldogs - after Dawes The rest are more at a draft stage I would have thought Wellingham - Trade Caddy - Trade Dawes - Trade Not FA as you're bleating we're not having a crack at
stuie 7,374 Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Wellingham - Trade Caddy - Trade Dawes - Trade Not FA as you're bleating we're not having a crack at Mate you were asking about those teams so I gave you an answer. We are in desperate need of quality players and SO FAR I'm pretty disappointed about what's known of our efforts.
bing181 9,472 Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 It only adds to the disappointment when not much happens. Speak for yourself.
Viney12 196 Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Mate you were asking about those teams so I gave you an answer. We are in desperate need of quality players and SO FAR I'm pretty disappointed about what's known of our efforts. I was talking in reference to FA which is what you were bleating about You even stated you don't want trades as you want to keep draft picks Don't change the goal posts You said EVERYONE was having a crack Mate - we've been linked with nearly every single out of contract FA / Player at some stage in the last couple of months Don't act as though we're doing nothing
GM11 793 Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 An old bull and a young bull stand on a hillside, overlooking a pasture. The young bull says to the old bull, “Hey, let’s run down and blank one of those heifers.” The old bull replies, “let’s walk down and blank ‘em all." Covers the situation nicely.

If you were paying attention, I said I don't like trading for contracted players. So who's moving the goal posts?!
Viney12 196 Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Incorrect. If you were paying attention, I said I don't like trading for contracted players. So who's moving the goal posts?! I misread You're still ignoring the facts that it's day 2 Many other clubs have been silent We've been far from silent Weve been linked to NUMEROUS players Wellingham, Dawes, Pearce, Monfries, Byrnes, Rodan, Lynch, Caddy and so on What more do you want us to publically do simply to appease impatient supporters? Sign a few FA's day 1 just for the sake of it Give me the definitive list of who you want us to trade for / get under FA
Pennant St Dee 13,435 Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Speak for yourself. + 1 not much experience in life I'm thinking, Dear christ nothing has happened by day 2 we must be doing nothing FFS

Sign a few FA's day 1 just for the sake of it Give me the definitive list of who you want us to trade for / get under FA Sure other clubs have been silent, but we're in desperate need of quality players, especially if it means NOT giving up our draft picks. Not including the draft, I would have liked to have got via trade/FA: -Tippett -Caddy -K Stevens -Byrnes -Wellingham Realistically, I think we'll get Dawes, Byrnes, and maybe one surprise. Depending on who the surprise is I'll be either satisfied without being happy or underwhelmed. We can't keep relying on 18 year olds from the draft, we NEED players who have played 100 games +

Byrnes toured our facilities today Tippett realistically will go to QLD Re Caddy Dawes Wellingham here you go Are happy now?
stuie 7,374 Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Yet all but Byrnes you would have to trade for. What do you trade? Ok let me explain. I was obviously just talking about FA with the bit you highlighted. To me, a team with tons of salary cap space and high draft picks, who needs experience, should be pretty active in the FA period. The players I listed as trade for players I would be happy to trade picks for (at the right price).

Viney12 196 Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Why do you think I listed those players mate? Sheesh... I'm sorry, you've gone from bemoaning the fact we've been "quiet" on day the 1st 2 days of FA to....actually I don't even know what you're bitching about anymore

cowboy_from_hell 2,390 Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 If we had a semi good side we could go after one gun player ie: Tippett or Goddard but we have a lot more holes to fill so I'm happy to not pay overs for tippet and Goddard. I can't believe Goddard is on 800k a year and Kurt will probably get more then that. I'd rather pay overs for mid range players like wellingham, Dawes and maybe caddy. I wanted cloke because he is in the top 5 in his position I don't think bj and tippet are.
Mac7 309 Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 We can't keep relying on 18 year olds from the draft, we NEED players who have played 100 games + Agree with this which is why I am surprised that we would let a player like Rivers leave....

"Of course I'm going to get involved. "I always thought Tippett was going to go back to the Gold Coast or Queensland because that's where he comes from. "Adelaide, to me, are a club on the rise ... now all of a sudden you hear Sydney or Melbourne and I just don't get that."
