Strategy Blair Hartley Project 2015 IV - Trade and Free Agency Discussion

[Tango67]

Griffiths - no big deal letting him go
Edwards - speaks for itself, is in the elite category, just makes things happen with his x-factor. please look at his efforts over the year, in particular Dreamtime
B Ellis - another , hard running player who is good by foot, just at times tries to be like pendlebury. Rance-like moments when he didn't have support, if we traded Rance because of his mistakes we'd be effed right now.
Houli - our best half back line breaker who is elite with his left foot
Conca - wasn't given a chance, contested ball player who we need
Batchelor - much improved this season, does his job and has settled into the backline, has become more than a sole loose 3rd tall who takes intercept marks
Lloyd - fair enough
Maric - don't give Maric a whack when he's been carrying our ruck position for the last 3 years
Chaplin - isn't that great of a player but nobody else can take the mantel of being the general who organises our defense
Grigg - does his job

Let's trade Deledio while we're at it.

As I said edwards is our best player that I would offer for trade, he is a very good player but he butchers the ball by foot, is not a physical beast and I think we need cotch, miles, lids and Martin before him
Ellis is a hard runner but very outside and average by foot,modest win a hard ball and doesn't tackle, but runs all day if left unchecked
Houli has a great left foot but the rest is average, not physical, poor under pressure but when allowed to do what he wants he can be damaging

You want to trade in a good player you need to trade one out, we have too many players similar in size or with deficiencies and I think we need to trade out 1 or 2 of those to change the mix

Draft picks, Griff and if anyone is desperate for a KPD then I guess astbury. With future picks we should have enough for whoever we want anyway.

The only player out of the ones we are interested that is worth future picks is treloar

He's hardly being punished for his mistakes either. His punishment is being traded, where he ends up is most likely a much better club than Gold Coast, it's like he's being rewarded for being a moron.

Alot like at my work.The bigger the moron you are the more chance of a promotion.

 

[JR82]

Can we perma ban anyone who suggests our first pick or Lennon should be involved in this Yarran trade. It's not happening.

this, this & this!!!!
give up our 1st for Yarran & you can give both Treloar & Bennell goodbye.

Just mauled about 30 dumplings. Oh wait. ...

Pebblestone has now grown into a rock in one sitting.

A question really (conversation) for those more in the know, not a suggestion

Any other questions?
