"Strong, bold, cheeky, proud and loyal.

Adam has demonstrated all of the qualities espoused in the marketing of our logo. I think we owe him the same.

If, by chance, he truly wanted to go I would be only to pleased to wish him all the best for his future, and thank him for the pleasure and service he has given over the years.

If its not something he wants then it doesn't sit well with me.

There is a lot to say for being a one club player. If you don't believe this ask Douggie Hawkins.

Sounds like he wants to leave to me. Don't think he's happy to spend his remaining years with a side in development, and with a coach he seems to have some issues with.

Like his best mate Brian i think he is seeing that the grass might be greener on the other side.

Personally i think Cooney hasn't given us much in several years, he is a senior player but has never had a role in the leadership group, and we are struggling to find a role for him with his declining fitness. Without his run and burst speed he offers nothing defensively, struggles as a half back and a half forward, goes missing for large chunks of the game. As much as i enjoy watching him at his best we need to be tough and ruthless to succeed. No more worshiping of individuals over the team, it has to stop for this club to taste success, and if trading Cooney will get us another top kid like Lake did for Hrovat, then i'm all for it.

How many years has Cooney realistically got left? 2? 3 max, each will be of a lesser output than the one before it.
The problem with senior players is if you drop them to the reserves it destabilizes the team. Senior players don't want to be running around in the reserves, certainly not guys like Cooney and if he's not going to help us win the next flag then we need to move him on now.

Pick 4?

Good lord there's a few in here need to cut the umbilical cord

I understand there's an emotional attachment and all that, but let's do what's best for the club .
The supporters deserve a shot at a long term investment in winning a flag, and although I think the trade's to heavily swayed in their favour.

Re: Adam Cooney: Up for trade ?

If we traded 45 and Jones for pick 27, we'd be being shortchanged. Add in Cooney and that's just charity. We'd want to be looking at a first round pick in return for that package in my opinion.

To be packaged with a promising key forward for a 17 pick upgrade? I have no problems letting him go if he wants out but that offer is nothing short of insulting

We just need Richmond to come into the mix now...

Who made the offer though, them or us?

Unless they are going to offer him silly dollars, I think the chances of him uprooting his young family and pulling his kids out of school to go to Western Sydney are slim to none

Going by how seemingly one-sided it is I'd hope it came from them...if it was us I have serious qualms about the ability of our management at the trade table

That's all he will ever be. He was playing Ressies for the entire second half of the year in a team with no KPF FFS!

Interest.
