    Bringbackbarassi is having a fit right now

    Demonland will become comedy gold if this is the case. Pleasepleaseplease let it be true!

    Cost nothing, gained nothing, lost nothing. Was worth the shot.
  4. Nasher
    Err, no?

    Indeed - a smattering of bog ordinary players filled out with lots and lots of spuds, and it's not just after Maric, it's earlier in the draft too. It looks to have been a very poor draft fours years down the track.

    Clark = Change -1. Still need to move on at least one more. Looking at you, Wona and/or Macdonald.
  7. Nasher
    Heh, yes, thank heavens "conoly" and "shwab" are stuffing up our futures. Our future looks completely and utterly screwed, right guys?
  8. Nasher
    No, but it must surely be in doubt. Are we really that much better off playing Joel Macdonald ahead of, for example, Tom McDonald? It really depends on what role the coach thinks he can play, but I can't think of any roles where we're better off with Macdonald over one of the younger players on our list, and he's clearly behind the seniors in Frawley, Garland and Rivers.

    Let's rehash all these conversations again! :headdesk:

    There's not a lot of point in keeping him if he won't play much.
  11. Nasher
    Yup. Could've summed this up with "LOL Essendon" - a sentiment I agree with
  12. Nasher
    His name's come up every year for the last few. Given that we've had a few opportunities to take him now and haven't, I doubt this year would be any different.

    The Saints having to squeeze out a whole bunch of middle of the road players because they cornered themselves with the salary cap is not really that interesting to me. Unless they're going to squeeze Riewoldt out then they can suffer in their jocks. I couldn't be less interested in their middle tier - reckon we're just as likely to get what we need in the draft.
  14. Nasher
    Agree, well put.
  15. Nasher
    If he's a ruck then we've wasted our time and resources. He's a forward, that's what he says he is, that's what Harrington and Neeld say he is, and that's what we need him to be. He can double as insurance if Martin or Jamar go down mid match, but that's just a fringe benefit and not his primary role. No Jamar/Martin injury = 0 minutes ruck time for Clark.

    Agree with all of the above - it's pretty hard to have any sympathy for Essendon. I find it delightful that the two clubs that tried to play sneaky buggers got burned this year. There's a lot to be said for being direct and easy to deal with - let that be a lesson to all the posters who insist we play "hard ball" during trade week or in contract negotiations (admittedly this has waned in recent years).
  17. Nasher
    Hope Harrington, Neeld and co know what they're doing with Bate - I can't see it, but defer to their greater knowledge. Other than that, a bloody outstanding trade week.
  18. Nasher
    Indeed. Essendon being too tightarsed could work in our favour - we're in the box seat if he still wants to go next year. I'm loving this business of cleaning up because of other clubs' poor strategies.

    ...in exceptional circumstances that no longer exist. If the current rules existed back then as they do now, James Hird would've been taken in the top 5, two years later.
  20. Nasher
    Nah. The alternative was delisting and getting nothing for him. Happy that we got anything at all. Good luck Matty.
  21. Nasher
    That's faint praise, though. It's less about which fringe plodders he's ahead of more about which solid best 22 players he's ahead of, and I'd say none of them.
  22. Nasher
    There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza...

    I agree, I think Clark seeing no route to Freo played a big part. With GWS sitting in the way, the draft is not a gauntlet he'd have wanted to run and the deals with Freo weren't progressing in a manner Brisbane were happy with. It's a less extreme version of Nick Stevens wanting to go Collingwood - all nice and rosy to nominate your club of preference, but if it can't be done there comes a point where you have to make the next best decision. It came down to a choice between remaining at Brisbane or accepting our coin.
  24. Nasher
    I've understood every new contract he's had - even the last one where he was clearly earmarked as a cheap option for the role that Stef Martin has since taken ownership of. That said, 28 games in 7 seasons is an incredible record and one that indicates our faith in him has been well on the generous side. Time to quickly and quietly part ways now.
  25. Nasher
    What a turnaround! Haha. I might just be getting bitter, but I'm just happy that we managed to pull the rug out from someone else. Hope he turns out to be a useful player
