NON-MFC: Trade Talk

[Whispering_Jack 29,938]

It seems to me that the same thing happens at this time in every trade period. A lot of players are going to end up either having to stay put and a few won’t have a home at all. Could revive interest in the preseason draft.

Sounds like Ivan Soldo has stuffed it up terribly

The Swans not letting club champ Parker go to his preferred destination is petty. he busted his gut for almost 300 games

If anyone needs further convincing that the AFL is an entertainment business, this trade period garbage is it.

A bunch of deals for ageing or fringe players and they are acting like this will change the world

The AFL is misguided if they think that extending the cut-off time to 7.30 is great tv. Watching officials sitting around is not gripping viewing.

Timmy Lamb not sitting around, his frugal draft strategy has always centred around nabbing a 2hr street park on the final day and avoiding an all day spot under the stadium

Andrew Mackie is the new Dedoro. I understand that Smith is out of contract but when you lure a player over the course of 18 months and have them commit to your club, it is incumbent on them to work the deal. Yes you want to get the best deal possible for your club, but the visible lack of effort to deal other assets, be it players, current year picks or future picks is embarrassing.

Personally I'm proud that the Dees are creative and look at getting their deals completed early. Sometimes we pay overs, other times we get a break because we're easy to deal with. Swings and roundabouts and I know which side of the coin I'd like to be associated with.

The Crows got Peatling for a bargain. Peatling + F3 + F4 for F2.
