2013 - Player retirements/delistings/trade discussion

[the wonder elephant]

I will not be a happy Catter if we do not give Paul Chapman the year he wants. I reckon Josh Hunt and Joel Corey will retire and if we see the back of rubber chest Podisadaly then I won't be too unhappy but the Bald Knight Must Rise again!

regards,

REB

cant agree more ... would look good in a crows rig chappy is one of my fav players outside of danger and slone

He's not rubber chested, he's a flat track bully.... Get it right!

I'm surprised you see Chapman as a more attractive proposition than Corey. Hunt and Pods I agree with but Chappy now has old man hamstrings and he took almost all year to get up and running this year. Any repeat hamstring early in 2014 would mean he is a long way behind the young guns you blokes have to start giving game time too.

Who was the bloke who played against Port at Cat Park, burly chested forward/ruck type? Get him in and Pods out.

What that Walker? If so, he played a shocker against the dockers in the final, couldnt catch a cold.
As good as Corey has been he has dropped a yard in pace and no longer racks up possessions - I'd keep Chappy over him too.

It's been in the news but local media identities in Perth are pretty much putting their nuts on the block saying Clarkson will be the man @ West Coast next year no matter what he says in the media. 1.5 million reasons per year why he should too imo.

Polec has said he is happy to come to whichever club can do Brisbane the best deal

He has said nothing like that. He will announce he wants to be traded to Adelaide next week. But if deal can't get done. Crows will get him for nothing in the pre season draft

A lot of hype for a guy that hasnt shown much yet.

He is 21 and played 16 games.
Some players take a while. Like Jobe Watson did

Fully understand that, just seems as soon as the Crows target or recruit anyone the local media label him a superstar.
There must be some issues with him as he couldnt crack into a pretty average Lions side, plenty of talk about his injuries but also plenty of rumours about him not willing to do the hard yards.
Perhaps a change of club is all he needs to turn things around

[the joker]

Maybe. But they would've been saying the same thing about Thommo before he wanted back from Melbourne. They have to do everything they can to get him

Maybe doing a acl doesn't help

..that last bit assumes that Melbourne and the 2 northern franchises will overlook him in the PSD.

[Spargo]

Dal Santo wanting to move to North Melbourne

He's not worth near the $600k they say the saints are paying him.
Plus he's slow and gets found out too often now.

[Booney]

Media talking of Heath Shaw heading to Alberton.

Like all potential suitors for Shaw, his on-field ability needs to be weighed up against his off-field habits and the potential on-field blow ups.

No chance

Howevr, we could fit him in...

3 high pay players have retired. 2 other well paid are expected to leave.
Mummy - likely to leave, 400-500k
Morton - retired, 200-250k
Bolton - retired, 300-400k
White - Would leave if they got buddy, 250-300k Mattner - Retired, 250-350k Minimum 1.4 million per year (Buddy won't be given all that either) Maximum 1.8 million salary space

[valleys07]

Bolton surely was on the Veterans list and possibly Mattner too?

Also doubt White and Morton where on that much, but who knows with the $wans

swans haven't resigned him yet, doubtful they will... Not sure where he'll go... not a huge loss imo...
