Re: Trade Rumours 2024

Well what changed? Lade came in. I have said this for awhile, he has changed the way the mids are used

While we can't know for sure that blame is at his feet, he certainly gets let off the hook much more lightly than Spangher (not to mention Bevo) does even though the midfield seems to have deteriorated or at least become inconsistent during his oversight.

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

Not pre-empting MJP (who has much better insight than me), but surely you design your game plan to maximise the contribution from the overall list.

When you have eggs and bacon you can make bacon and eggs, but if you only have beans you need a recipe for beans.

You don't need to think about trading players now. You pick the best team to win matches now.

If CD and Jack are in that team, fine. If not, fine.

At the end of the year you considered the best options on personnel.

Right now we just need to find how to win with the personnel we have. Great players sometimes lose form, sometimes get it back and sometimes don't. Nothing lasts forever.

Our form as a team hasn't been bad this year. We can improve from here. Just keep working on it.

Maybe Dosh J was good?

Actually the midfield has had the same outcome since 2021, opposition running straight through and kicking multiple goals.
We need change and Richards is a start.

This is a good point. The way Bevo skates through without any critique or commentary is ludicrous. I would have thought by now there'd at least be a thread referencing mediaeval style removal themes in relation to his coaching tenure.

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

Is that the same list manager that gave them long contracts?

I agree when does the person making all these long contract deals ie: Daniel, Macrae, Harmes, Lobb become accountable? Best we will get is a 3rd rounder for any of these guys and be stuck with half of their salary as well.

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

Did I just hear that Oliver Florent has signed on again with the Swans?
The names we were being linked within the media are really dwindling

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

Long contracts give you good bargain power and they don?t leave unless you agree.
Timing is the key.

Disagree. Looks Like we want them to leave, so we now have little bargaining power.

We don’t get those name players anyway.

Really thought he was an ideal fit for us. Disappointing

It's ok, were getting Butters anyway.

No we don't and haven't for some time. Just players on the back end of their career looking for their last pay day and delisted players from other clubs. It's nothing to get excited about.

I would say we're pretty much the worst in this regard. Even north and the saints get more marquee signings than us. Whether they are astute signings is another question though.

It's hard to know how hard we chase.

Look through the players who will be potentially be delisted, that will narrow down who we're chasing.
