The Moving-Rolling Delisting/Retiring/Trading Thread 2017

[bornadog]

Hamilton, M Boyd and B Murphy off the list at the end of the year to start with, if we trade 1-2 players as well there would be space for Honeychurch.
I'm disappointed in his finishing but he gets to the right spots and applies defensive pressure.

I love Morris, but time is also catching up to him.

They threw Boyd on the ball in the VFL Saturday and he was everywhere !
Forgot he was a mid so quickly I'm ashamed , after that I would say he will come in this week , here's a thought , we are struggling in the midfield , Jong out , Libba no good at all , would it hurt to put him back in the centre few times this week ?

I think 'if' we get a May or Lever that might makes things a lot closer for the club. May/Lever, Adams, Fletch & Cordy with Collins improving and Young developing and Roughy seemingly used to pinch hit.

As much as I love Boydy, I hope not.

He's still a great player and leader, but the step up in the pace of the game from VFL to AFL, particularly in the midfield, is immense.

and his kicking ability is more exposed in the midfield

[S Coast Simon]

The midfield is a tough business. It's bang crash in hard all day. This is why Danger and many others do it well they are hard as nails. Our first three mids are Libba,Bont and Macrae. They do well our boys but are getting a hard time for not winning the contested footy. We need blokes like Boyd to have a run through there just to hit in hard a few times. Let the opposition know we are here to play. Next time someone wants to bump and bash into JJ or anyone else send Boyd to tag them for five minutes and see how tough the really are. Our team unfortunately is being bullied at the moment and other teams know this. Boyd and Cordy need to be in the team. We play finals footy, as we all know the game changes to a hard slog in finals. Remember when you played, everyone stood taller when your toughest player was in the team. It's the same game but at a greater level. Boyd you want to get to 300 games. Go out there and hurt some opposition players. Not illegally. But hit those tackles and bumps hard.

Not like he doesn't know it !
Problem is playing in the backline he is either chasing another player to the ball or running off.
He still knows how to get the ball even if it's just for a few minutes a qtr let him loose, VFL or AFL he can still read where the ball is
And get it . His kicking isn't a problem if he is in under handballing out.

Oh and his leadership telling players what's doing really stood out as well Saturday afternoon.
Libba doesn't do that and is hardly getting a touch at the moment.
Seriously we aren't getting near the ball in the centre at a qtr a game at least. Throw him in I say see what happens and surprise the opposition they won't be expecting it . Won't die wondering with Boyd that's for sure.

[Dry Rot]

FWIW BF guy with good sources says the Bombers are into Webb and the Tigers have offered Redpath 2 years on good money.

[Remi Moses]

I can see Richmond looking at 2nd forward options, and interest in Webb .
That BF bloke reckons stkilda and Norf are throwing significant contracts Lever's way .

He's just to slow to be honest .

Just remember we lose a few in retirement next year and Webb will Fit right in with us I imagine.
Redpath is interesting with his knees , hate to see him go but maybe we only gave him a year to see how he went when he came back and will offer him better if he goes ok , personally I think we will keep both if big red gets through this year.

Jeez don't north and the saints look desperate. Throwing coin around hoping it'll stick somewhere. Does this indicate Kelly is joining the dog-i mean staying.

BF discussion should stay on BF.

[Dry Rot]

That guy along with one or two others has good sources. Works for the swans.
