Dear RFC Trade Department
« on: October 11, 2011, 08:22:03 PM »
Appreciate shopping around our fringe players, but its obvious that no1 is interested.
Guys like:
Morton, McGuane, Connors, Farmer, Jackson, Nason etc need to be delisted if they are not contracted next year and stop wasting other clubs time... Why would anyone want fringe players from us?

Time to shop around who has currency if we want to land someone, the likes of:
Foley, Edwards, Post, Griffiths, Newman need to be discussed with other clubs.

Don't want to see those guys go (other than Edwards), but you have to give something to get something.

Target top 4 clubs and see who wants regular football.
Hogan, Gilles from Geelong.
Savage from Hawthorn. Xavier Ellis maybe.
Does Ben McEvoy want to go through 5 years of rebuilding at the Saints?

Go Tigers!

Griffen is also a proven flake who doesnt know where he wants to live.

My understanding is griffen wanted to go home to help look after his sick dad.

Not sure if he died or got better but apparently there is no need to look after him any more?
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

He went from Adelaide to Perth. Now he wants to go back to Adelaide.

Yeah what a real loser he is.  :banghead

Watch Freo games and see Griffin play for yourself. Can tell you he has a lot more to offer than Maric.

Im not doubting he cant play i just doubt that Hawks will let him go

Gillies would be a nice inclusion

Griffen is proven compared to Maric's current record ( Ive watched some of his games on bigpond)

If Maric is selected then so be it, I believe they are prepared to give him a shot if they dont have to pay too much for him.
When free agency comes along they will be prepared to throw money at an elite ruckman I believe. (big Fish?)

If Maric improves by then, it helps if not we use our money to get something great. He is most likely a stop gap, by that time Beefcake will have had to have stepped up of step out and browne will develop or the same.

Who knows?? im probably wrong

There's a few at Hawthorn that can play.

Breust, Savage and they do well with their pick ups from other clubs also. Gibson and Hale was serviceable for them. Played a role and got Renouf down the pecking order.

Clarkson has a well drilled team. I'd be looking at some blokes from Hawthorn.

If you want to give bum slaps to everyone for another 30 years so everyone is left feeling all fussy inside, BJ go right ahead.
I'm interested in a premiership. Newman has currency, Freo love a trade, would think Newman for Zac Clarke and a draft pick would be something you have to consider.
