FWIW, Jeff Garlett and Mitch Robinson have reportedly been told that the club will seek to trade them during the trade period.

Garlett, yes.

Cachia also gawn. Thought he was pretty handy last year.

No, no, no, no, no, no, FFS No!

We interviewed Robinson last year. I wonder what roosy really thinks him. I like his aggression but I have heaps of first hand knowledge of him. He really is not very smart, and I'm being kind in saying that. We really need more aggression. I really liked the way hawthorn turned it around years ago with just aggression. They had guys rubbed out a bit but so what.

Not sure I'd take any of them. Garlett has really struggled without Betts to take the defensive attention and Robinson is a massive [censored]. I was however wondering about Dennis Armfield. He has decent skills and pace, wouldn't cost us much but would be an improvement to our midfield/HB area. He's by no means a great player, but as I say he could be going cheap and is better than some we have playing.

Questions you should ask when evaluating any player that we will look to trade in.

Can they play midfield?

Do they run both ways?

Can they execute decision making and skills?

If your answer to any of these questions is no strike them off your list.

We all know of their deficiencies (especially Robinson who I can't stand personally and is a DH) but let's see what Roosy does. If he could get them playing disciplined football at their best, they would definitely improve our list.

Casboult yes...these ...probably no but Garlett if all but free

Robinson can now enjoy his bruise-free life !!!

Problem with Garlett is that he is purely an "outside" player and we have way too many of them. Robinson is hard at the ball but like most of our players lacks ability to hit targets.

Do you have inside sources??

Lets take em both, may as well make Robinson Captain, draft Bootsma with pick 2 and pickup Jake King as Roos successor while in the process.

I would take Garlett if we dont have to pay much.

He was playing well under Ratten. If he can get back to that form then he would easily be best 22.

We had a few players who went downhill as soon as Neeld came in with his Mick Malthouse philosophies.

They left and are now playing well with other teams.

If we take him and he doesnt come on then we have invested little.

Can we please not take every single bit of everyone else's trash.

Robinson might be alright if he wasn't such a fuckwitt

Neiher are trash Redleg

Roosy will be looking at both very closely

Soft and Stupid. No and no.

Robinson might be alright if he wasn't such a fuckwitt

but he is...................

Both of them would be walk-up starts in our side. Let's not kid ourselves. The only concern here would be Robinson's off-field problems.

Nutjob Robinson belted Rohan Bail off the ball several years ago! and copped weeks for it! On that basis there might well be the "Flow on effect" and I believe some angst MIGHT remain!

NUP NOT WORTH THE RISK!

I'm 50/50 on Robinson. He is a clearly a DH and his off field problems are a worry... but he is a very good player when fit and firing and he would add something a little different to our list. Worth a look but if Roos is worried about his off field stuff then I'm certain we won't take him.

No to Garlett. Not what we need at all.

Garlett cant get a game and Robo is less bright than Slobbo Robbo and has as much pace. Not for mine.

We could pick up a sponsorship from the Commancheros bikie club and make Tony Mokbel the No 1 ticket holder. It wouldn't hurt us to toughen up our image for a change.

Can cope with Garlett but Robinson is a No, No No! He is the DH who attacked us for being a 'bruise free' team. This insult is not something I can forgive. I don't care how much aggro he can bring to the team he is still a NO!!

For those interested in Robinson
