FAREWELL STEFAN MARTIN - SEPTEMBER 2012

[jnrmac 20,058]

Its done....

[The Chazz 4,077]

I heard that; why would we want pick 73 what's the point?

Probably upgrade one/some of Evans, Magner, Couch, Nicholson.

[picket fence 17,133]

MARTIN GONE TO BRIS FOR TWO LATE PICKS

[The Chazz 4,077]

Horrendous trade IMO

Would like to think we will forward 53 to St Kilda for Ray.

[DeeZee 7,376]

Off to Brisbane for picks 53 and 73.

Confirmed.

[Jaded No More 68,880]

Another last minute stupid trade for picks we won't use.

WTF is the point?

[olisik 4,060]

WTF, why are we stock piling picks post 49. We gave up our good picks for players, then give our players for sh$t picks.

[Hannibal 5,814]

We're clearly getting rid of players Neeld doesn't rate and saving some coin.

Another gumby gets pushed out the door.

[reynolds46 1,237]

Is it more about clearing as much deadwood as possible?

To upgrade rookies????

[Lord Travis 10,727]

We're clearly getting rid of players Neeld doesn't rate and saving some coin.

We still have to pay a salary cap minimum of 92.5% though, which means we're just overpaying some other average footballers instead.

[olisik 4,060]

To upgrade rookies????

We are expecting to upgrade 2, not 8

[Robbie57 2,020]

please tell me this is linked to Ray in some way ..... are we off the meds today?

[Jaded No More 68,880]

Another gumby gets pushed out the door.

Again, it's fine to trade them but why for no return?

I mean Martin is an agile tall coming into his peak. And we traded him for some 50cent coins and a hot dog.

You're loving this BH aren't you?

Sicko!!!

[Adam The God 30,216]

Source? I don't mean to be a dick, but every second thread these days says 'confirmed' and doesn't list a source.

frontloading contracts mate, will open up space for when we can target players next year, or when the window opens,

smarter than just paying duds ffs

[Ned 156]

So nothing from that that we can trade for Ray? I'd be really, really bloody interested to hear the logic of today's moves.

Our return is a spot on the list for the people we are bringing in, opening up cap space ect

Martin, Morton, Moloney and Gyserts were obviously not considered needed

think it's 95%

[Jordie_tackles 354]

To upgrade rookies????

Cant we do this with pick 200 if need be?

[olisik 4,060]

Now we have a 'warchest' of late draft picks.

[nedariks 22]

another poor deal done today

Oli, are you bitter that some of your predicted 14-Club trades didn't come to fruition, and in turn, wasted all that time you spent thinking up such deals?
