    Re: Impey trade worth

    Whenever we are in competition with another club for a player, we routinely miss out.

    Needs to change.

    Only Browne reporting it. No announcement. Doubt a decision has been made and the of person who knows is Browne AND he waited until the news to announce it.

    He very may well choose the Hawks but i believe Stringer chose Geelong 4 times before actually making a decision to join the bombers

    I think TBB is saying why on most occasions can't we convince a player, in a two horse race, to pick us? Irrespective of the player. In some cases, like throwing years and huge money at Lonergan, we couldn't convince him.

    Come to think of it we've done really well with players whose teams, and most teams didn't want like Biggs & Hamling.

    If we only get Trengove & Crozier with out currency and huge cap to use, that's a meek trade period. If Stringer goes for anything under 11 it will be another poor trade period.

    That's not too bad. It means we can now have look at other options

    He's made a mistake picking the Hawks though

    We thought we were a destination club but in reality we aren't. It's the nature of the AFL at the moment.

    There is a certain amount of compromise we need to accept. I'm not happy about it but we just need to keep rolling up the sleeves.

    Bang on. I would've thought a young team winning a premiership, with huge parade, GF sweet hearts, crowds, Friday night games ... Would count for something with players. But not. As you say, scratch his name off the list and keep on truckin.

    Off topic but from my knowledge Jake hasn't yet made a decision has he? Yet again all the journal's have said for the past 3 weeks that Jake will make his decision is the next couple of days. They just guess and hope they get it right .

    And yet we did a great job there and left noting to chance but in the end the player opted for a god father offer by a club that manipulated the system.
    Players are often poorly advised by their managers as well.

    There was murmurings GWS were into Poppy .
    He'd be handy for us with his forward pressure, and we were keen in his draft year.

    Because I know woofers thought he was the logical Harbrow replacement
