Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

Well if you think that Sherman has played well with us, or that he has been worth pick 22, you'd be wrong. What do you think that Sherman would get for us in a trade now? He was traded for an end of first round draft pick FFS!

To blame McCartney for Sherman's output over two years is a joke and typical of the irrational blame-laying that McCartney suffers from the Eade fan-bois on here.

You're really good at assuming.
I never even said he played well with us.
I never blamed McCartney for his 2 years with us.
You mentioned Eade not me.

Sherman doesn't get a game because he simply refuses to have a defensive side to his game. Outside runner or not he needs to defend when we don't have the ball. No room for Blake Caracella type players anymore so we have trade him for whatever we can get.

How many years will Sherman fail to deliver before it becomes his fault?

His best year was 2006 as a 19 year old and he hasn't improved since. He's had 4 coaches and none of them have managed to get him to perform, including all time great Leigh Matthews.

This. Sherman has been sub-par for the vast majority of his career. He is quite simply a very ordinary AFL footballer.

Can you tell me how this underachievement in 2011 is McCartney's fault?

I am more and more convinced you only read what you want to so that you can object to what I write and my opinions.

How the hell can I blame McCartney for 2011 when he was no where the club?

The only responses I have made to your posts this week (until this ridiculous Sherman conversation) have been in agreement with you or have been neutral and simply adding my two bob's worth.

I'm not sure how much our new coach had to do with our draft picks last year but I do believe the choices were a lot better than previous drafts.
Ladder position helped us last year and father/ son did the year before though.

Let's not take the thread off track, if you want to discuss a different topic just start a new thread.

Big announcement from the club tomorrow. Anyone heard any gossip?

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

This constant old Eade group vs persistent posters at them for their (perceived) bias is making it WOOF very predictable and boring ATM.

Who wants to join me in my third group? It's called 'The I valued what Eade did for us and I'm not sure about B-Mac but for the sake of the club, I hope he does well group'.

Firstly I'm a bulldog fan first and foremost. No individual is greater than club.
Questioning whether I want us to win is pretty silly.
I'm in the Eade's gone, not coming back and the new guy isn't very good group.

If McCartney goes anywhere with us I'll gladly eat my words just don't see it happening.

Lynch has quit the Eagles and is going back to Melbourne. He wasn't happy with a 1 year deal, I hope he isn't coming our way.

Why? He would walk into our fwd line and at least make a contest. Not saying I would certainly want him, but I wouldn't totally disregard it.

Someone told me he signed with the pies.

If we go for him it would mean that we offered at least a 2 year deal and most likely on big bucks and I don't think the Q stick has done a lot in the last couple of seasons.

He's a experienced big body but does he crack in!

Just heard Nathan Brown (not him) could be on the way out.
Any interest?
