Well I've already posted on Page 1 of this thread about trading all players born pre 1985 who have trade value.plugger66 wrote:But why the captain and why stop at one.

I'm not sure how free agency would affect it, though.

Sorry but i dont go back to page one everytime I post. I have since read it and I am sorry but i dont think you should do things like that as it just wrecks the fabric of the club and as I have stated before you would only think of trading these type of players if they requested it. I am for trading them if they want to go. Would not think of standing in their way.Saints43 wrote:Well I've already posted on Page 1 of this thread about trading all players born pre 1985 who have trade value.plugger66 wrote:But why the captain and why stop at one.

To be honest I believe we would stuff it up anyway and would end up with three players gone and three club leaders unhappy.

There's plenty of in and under players...
I'd be suprised if Kosi would have gone chasing money, and there was a time when he had value.
As for Judas we all know where or what his loyalties are.

Well you're an idiot. this isn’t under 14's for the Balwyn tigers, this is AFL. Who cares what the player's personality or principles or any of that crap are. as long as their a good player who will give their all every week, and could possibly take us to a premiership, that’s all that matters.joffaboy wrote:I would take Kosi who has integrity over the money grubbing private schoolboy with no character anyday.saintdooley wrote:So you would rather Kosi over ball?joffaboy wrote:As long as we dont get another Xavier money grabbing traitor private schoolboy born to ruler like Luke Ball.saintdooley wrote:or another kosijoffaboy wrote:Or we could end up with X Clarke and Sampisainterinsydney wrote:We could end up with an Ablett or Judd.

Ball may be a stuck up, arrogant, money hungry prick, who knows...but he can play football and that’s all that matters.
But hey, kosi is a top bloke! So let’s just keep him.

So then you'd have some appreciation of what Kosi has done for the club on and off since day 1? And especially last year.saintdooley wrote:broken ribs, fingers, collar bone, and depending on how big the night before was, brainLeo.J wrote:Ever played with an injury saintdools?saintdooley wrote:...Well you're an idiot. this isn’t under 14's for the Balwyn tigers, this is AFL.

Everyone in the know has respect for Kosi.
Matty Lloyd on SEN the other day was saying that he was talking to Rooey, and again Rooey was saying how important Kosi was to the side, and how he wanted him back in.
Only the people on the inner sanctum know what he does... and everytime they are asked they back Kosi to the hilt.
Only your team mates would have known and appreciated what you did to get out there with injuries when you played, and they would of respected you for that also.

Fair enough if you heard it on radio, I believe it.

Look at their contributions, trade, delist and player xx is no good etc.
Regular posters are sometimes wary of new posters, esp at this time - maybe that's why some go on the assault.
Why didn't they post about Gardiner on the come back trail, or the week off might get Montagna fully fit?

I think, at the end of the day, it's up to the player in question as to whether he stays or goes. If he stays, we keep a club champion who can lead the youth and show the way forward in that area, and if he goes, then we play the draft roullette and possibly build a new premiership core. As long as the club does its business well, it's a win-win situation.
