Trade week rumours and innuendo

[Yeahright]

Better teams have the expendable depth to trade average players for higher draft pick whereas our average players would get us peanuts. Doesn't help when you don't at least shop them around to see what you can get

If Taylor hunt is a tagger, can't be worse than grigg

Does he avg 20+ possies a game in his senior games

Stats don't mean a lot these days

[tigs2011]

Good comment though.

Why can't you post that calibre of stuff instead of the dribble you dish up here?

Don't wanna show your good self up to be totally honest.

They do when one player has 5 touches a game and the other 25

For me the litmus test for RFC is 2105.In my opinion this year will determine the fate of the coach and a large chunk of the list.Therefore despite 2014 being a season of extremes I am quite prepared to give the RFC the benefit of any doubt.However should the club produce anything akin to the first half of 2014,then heads will be called for .The club has now set the bar quite high therefore it needs to deliver.

agreed G. Hopefully we'll see the continued improvement in Griff and Batch and see players like Dea, Arnott and McBean step up. Bottom 6 needs to improve a lot

Yep agree with both of you

I also think that as 2015 rolls on if we still have certain blokes (eg Newman) in the first 22 then it means those bottom 6 and a couple of others (eg McIntosh) either aren't coming on how I am expecting them too or they are not getting opportunities

And I hope for our Clubs sake it isn't the latter

[Gigantor]

Its time the Bean,Arnott,Dea,and a few others declared themselves present.
it goes without saying that TY,Griff,need to also step up another level

Some interesting de-listing today

Down at Geelong Taylor Hunt, Mitch Brown and Joel Hamling have been given the chop

At Carlton Mitch Robinson, Kane Lucas and Brock McLean all goneskis.

All players de-listed can be signed as Free agents once the next stage of free agency opens

M brown > chaplin

So keen on Hunt to boot Grigg out and take his run with role that he did. It was only last year they were banging on how well Hunt can tag and then win his own footy the other way. Don't know why he fell out of the side,  if that was just a one off, flash in the pan season or he got injured, but age and type would fit our side just nice IMO. We could do with some more mongrel. No better chance than to pick him up for absolutely nothing.

Would take Robinson if we could delist Petterd, Grigg, Batchelor or Houli. All not needed IMO

[Diocletian]

Hunt or Robinson would be an upgrade on Grigg...I'd just go Hunt for his pace.

Brown would provide needed depth for the backline though I'd only take him as a rookie, especially if we don't we re-rookie Darrou...not sure but think we'd also have to go with a 39-5 list instead of 38-6 if we grabbed one of Hunt or Robinson as a DFA -  too bad we're continuing to waste a rookie spot on Thomarse the Tortoise.
