The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018

[Sedat]

It's a funny one. His time with us is clearly up but other teams would still see some value given they haven't seen him as closely as we have and how limited he is now. So it's a win-win to help him find a new club.

When I think of Roughy I remember him being responsible for what I'd called two of the less Bulldog moments I can remember.

The first was against West Coast in the first final where he took a mark just outside 50m playing on immediately and kicking a long goal to put the nail in the coffin and end the contest. We've had a dozen players miss that shot over the generations and keep the opposition in the game.

The second was his mark against Sydney in the GF. We had the momentum, we'd just kicked a goal to break open a lead that had been ridiculously overruled to keep Sydney in it, then they kicked a long bomb down the centre where we were outnumbered and they could've easily got the ball out the back for a simple goal and run away with the game like we've seen so many times before. Roughy takes a contested pack mark, stops their momentum dead, we go back inside 50m kick a goal and kill the contest and win the premiership.

Wherever he goes now those moments will be etched in history forever

He flushed that kick against West Coke - never looked like missing.

It was a truly glorious moment.

Actually, might have to go back and watch a bit of 2016 this weekend...

I know a lot of people on here have mentioned Shiel and Gaff but now that Lachie Neale's name has been mentioned as potentially being available he would be high on my list if he was interested in coming to us.

Great idea!

Rough’s GF mark was the curse breaker - also recall his third quarter mark & goal in the semi fondly. He’s a terrible set shot, but everything just went our way that quarter, and that play just sticks out for some reason (mainly as contested marks in our F50 are as rare as ...)

Yeah I'm doing the 2016 finals again this weekend. What better way to spend father's day

I'd be happy with either player. I'm surprised that Gaff is only 1 year older than Shiel and Gaff.

For Neale we may actually be in a good position to satisfy Fremantle trade wise - our first round pick and Marcus Adams as a starting point.

Surely Fremantle wouldn't want to let him go?

Gaff is a year older than Gaff? That's not a bad effort.

That goal was the moment at which I started to think we were actually a chance to do some damage in the finals. You can logically comprehend how we could put a good enough performance together to beat West Coast, but when guys like Roughy are playing on from open field marks and flushing 55m goals then anything is possible.

I think Gaff is a better player than Neal. Gaff is more damaging, and kicks goals as well.

Id take Gaff over Cowboy Neil too. I think Cowboy is cooked as a footballer personally.

Assuming Dahl takes the offer from Geelong, and Roughy from WCE, with Smith, Biggs & Collins already gone we can fit Gaff into our cap and still keep everyone. I think he'd be perfect for us. I hope we are pushing hard.

Surprised you would remember Cowboy

[azabob]

I think Gaff is a better player than Neal. Gaff is more damaging, and kicks goals as well.

Gaff actually doesn't kick more goals. He's played 40 odd more games than both players but has kicked the same amount of goals as Neale and only 4 more than Sheil.

[Twodogs]

I saw Cowboy Neil play for the ACT against Footscray in a night match (actually it was a curtain raiser for another night match so it started in the afternoon. How well were we going at the time, playing curtain raisers for other teams like we were the reserves) back on the '70s.

Why does everyone get caught up with the big names that cost the big dollars ?
Let’s just get what fits our game plan , you will find if you put the right player in a position that suits him he will become the player your after.
Plenty of history in that more than getting big name players that other clubs have.
The plus in making your own is it’s cheap and you teach them the way your club wants them.
The minus from so called big name players is pressure to perform, wage is over the worth and no guarantee they will adjust to your plan.
Give me players like Crozier over Stringer anytime. Even Gowers for that matter.
We have lost some very big players in the last few years but guess what, we won a flag they haven’t.
The old saying , champion team beats a team of champions.
