Rhino, you obviously dont get it. I am not frustrated over peoples lack of desire to trade Jamar, as you said, the 'very reasons i muddled around to' support that view. WHat does frustrate me though is the masses on here who refuse to even contemplate the matter and ridicule someone for raising an interesting point. No player is untouchable and it is very healthy to discuss all options. This forum is not capable of such thinking and it is why this forum is so useless and repetitive. Jamar is not out of bounds, but out of date people like yourself seem to support the view that if the opinion doesnt support yours or is a little left of centre the person should be ridiculed.
In regards to Brock, you are not correct. I started the topic suggesting he be traded, very early on, and was ridiculed by 80% of people in the exact same style as this thread, yet now that the deal is a clear winner....apparently we were all on the same page? Outrageous.
I guess the football department sits and discusses every player. With McLean two things were apparent - what he brought to the side and importantly - did we have anything that could replace what he brought to the side. With the emerging midfield the football department made the call that with what we had getting pick 12 for McLean was a good trade. I am sure that they may field interest (if any) on jones at trade time.
However with our current ruckstocks the only trade that could be considered would be Sandilands (like thats gonna happen) as we dont have a backup option and even a very high draft pick as compensation would not get us a ruckman for next year.
Trade Jamar
