I'm sure there'll be discussions with a number of people about rucks! More getting the interest out there at the moment - with Vickery, Hill, possibly Harvey, and now Jarryd Lyons in discussions about changing clubs, what I actually have to offer is yet to be decided I guess.
OK, I'm going to dip my toe in the water and put up a player for auction. Name: Marcus Adams Club: Western Bulldogs Position D/F (will be D only in 2017) Age: 23 2016 Avg: 11 games, 80.6 ppg. I am looking for a first round draft pick - and a good one. Given how good Marcus was in his first year at the Bulldogs, the sky is the limit. Auction open till 11pm on Grand Final Day. I'll consider reasonable offers as they come in, and notify via this thread if/when any meet reserve.
For sale by private negotiation Harry Taylor (D) does not fit into the Cows' current player profile because of age. However, if you are looking for a dependable defender I suggest you consider Harry. Here is his record since he entered the AFL as Geelong's first round pick in the 2007 National Draft: Year Games Average 2008 18 81.2 2009 19 77.5 2010 20 87.1 2011 21 76.0 2012 21 86.9 2013 21 94.0 2014 21 83.1 2015 21 82.0 2016 22 75.9 He plays virtually every week, few players can boast of an attendance record like Mr Dependable. He is 30 years old in an era when players careers are stretching beyond the old ethos of 30 and out. What is he worth? Hit me with a late second round pick or an early third round pick and we will probably have a deal. The offer closes at midnight AEST Monday the 3rd of October (i.e., the end of the last mad Monday of the year). Do not be shy people, he solves a lot of problems for those of you looking to reinforce your squad. PS: It turns out his 72 SC points in the preliminary final loss to Sydney were with a broken hand. What better example could there be of Harry's dedication to your team's needs?
Ooh yes, most definitely. I'd forgotten we had one. It could do with a new post to bump it back up the order. I'll bung it there now.
OK, Harry Taylor official trade time is up. However, feel free to continue to make enquiries privately. Which other Cows might be available? I am pretty happy with the squad and really do want to see and consider the 2017 SC positions. However, if you have an urge to deal please do not be shy.
Hehe I wish. The irony is that while 99.9% of SA were scrambling for their candles and Barry White CDs, us islanders were bathing in the beauty of incandescence and the glory of diesel backup generators. Just no word to my missus about me flicking the RCD ten minutes later to help fuel the 'boom. You know it was like that time I was on bandcamp...
ive just realised Ive not listed any available players in this thread. These players would be really helpful for a lot of squads. Im looking for draft picks in return... good ones Lyndon Dunn - mel Andrew Mackie - gee Josh Wagner - mel Harry Cunningham - syd Clay Smith - wb Levi Casboult - car James Stewart - gws
Ant, from Len's Calendar thread: "7th September 2016 -Trade period opens. 8th September 2016 -Official Presentation of digital trophy and flag to 2016 Premiers. 30th November 2016 - Trade Period closes (6 days after NAB Draft). 1st February 2016 - Trading open again - Date subject to change, will open once SC positions are released in full." Based on history PSD will be early March. Hope that helps.
thanks. The from Len helps a lot too. Just wanted to make sure the PSD will be after the trade period
Better that than their afl club "retiring" them amigo. I see your pies are going with youth recruiting again
Oh yes G, who the hell knows what the Pies are doing; not time ruin we've moved out all of our KPDs as well. By the by - the Mayne picture when announced is one of the worst Mug shots I've ever seen !!!
I thought he looked quite fetching, but then I am used to seeing your guys looking startled and holding a card with name and number on it.
Mitchell, Lewis, Wells, Goldy (maybe), Fisher (possibly). I sense a pattern here. Smells of chasing dollars over premierships. Pfft. My boys have never complained about being paid in litres and Crazy Horse lap dances. Determined not to issue any DCM's this off season.
