Title: What do we have that we could trade....
Post by: PuntRdRoar on June 12, 2005, 05:24:00 PM
Seriously....

1) Andrew Krakouer
2) Ray Hall maybe
3) Greg Tivendale, Joel Bowden and Mark Chaffey
4) David Rodan- but no one will take him with his leg :-[
5) Troy Simmonds- pooh 5 years is a long time.

6) Campbell will retire- we get no one
7) Mark Graham should retire- we will get nothing
8) Greg Stafford should retire- we will get nothing
9) Rory Hilton- Is basically just surviving. Will probably get cut- we will get nothing
10) Shane Morrison- see Hilton.

We have a long long way to go!

Any thoughts?

No one will touch Simmonds with 4 years still to go on his contract.

The rest of our middle age players are all up for trade as the only guys you don't trade are your A-graders.

Tivs has to be first off the rank. Not up to it yet gets plenty of it. Sides like Carlton or Essendon who need pace through the midfield wpuld be interested.

Stafford, Campbell and Graham should retire. Hilton and Morrison are  gone...thats 5 players we wont get anything for. I get the feeling we'll be drafting about 7 kids and 1 or 2 senior types may come to Punt Rd through trades

Before the start of the season we were saying we needed one more clean out. 9 changes (7 kids + 2 trades/PSD) would do nicely although our on-field results in the short term will suffer having such a very young list. It looks like we will do a Geelong. Mark Thomson got the Cats to the finals in his first year with left-overs from before he took over then cleaned them out over the following 3 years.

I'm liking the sounds of having an under 20's side in the AFL next year!  :lol

The best thing that could happen to us is to go crap for the next year or two.

The bottom line is we have dumb footballers with crap skills and wheneer we win we are just covering up that fact.

We should be thankful the Kangaroos exposed us.

It is just evident of of hard Terry's job is.

The good thing is that he will do what is required to turn over the duds.

They wont be kept like Frawley did

Exactly Bull.

Another clean out wont hurt us at all.
