Wow that trade is bad, I wish people in British and Asians were that easy to rip off :P

Same.  :P

[roo boys!]

After quite a fair bit of negotiating about this one Holz and I have reached a deal!

Toronto Gives: Robbie Gray and Kieran Harper
Dublin Gives: NAT Draft Pick 5 and Tommy Walsh

Reasoning: Harps  Absolutely devastated to lose on of my faces but I have to try and eliminate bias in my trading and this is the first step. Gray is a big loss but pick 5 is important for me, you'll see why in a minute, on trading FTW
Walsh is ok and I needed to pick up a backup forward after just giving up 2. He may stay, he may be traded it's hard to tell yet.


Now not sure if this is allowed or not but Holz has told me that he might not be able to get on tonight but he auto-accepts this trade as we want it to be voted on in this group not a week's time. I have a few quotes from PMs I can post in a sec if needed?

[Nails]

Toronto Gives: Andrew Carrazzo and Nat Draft Pick 5
Buenos Aires Gives: Mitch Robinson and Dan Nicholson

Though this trade is CONDITIONAL on the trade between Afev and I passing...

Reasoning: Whilst we feel with Mitch Robinson's age and potential he is significantly better and worth more than Carrazzo...
Though we feel pick 5 is greater than Nicholson which we can on trade anyway.

[Nails]

New York Gives: Dean Cox and Nat Draft Pick 75
Buenos Aires Gives: Josh Jenkins and Nat Draft Pick 5

Reasoning: Whilst we see Josh Jenkins as having a bright, bright future, we see Dean Cox as the best option to help lead us to a premiership next season and is one we require.

Confirmed


Reasoning

Cox is 31 and is likely going to be retiring before our team starts to become competitive. Makes sense to trade him out for a good young ruckman that I can count on to be around when our team starts pushing for finals.

5 is for on trade.

[roo boys!]

Toronto Gives: Andrew Carrazzo and Nat Draft Pick 5
Buenos Aires Gives: Mitch Robinson and Dan Nicholson

Though this trade is CONDITIONAL on the trade between Afev and I passing...

Confirmed. I also agree to the condition.

Reasoning: Carrots while being as gun as he is is a little old for my liking but suits Nails plan perfectly. Nicholson I really rate and allows me to trade away another defender but that one may be a few more days away. Robbo replaces the void left by Gray.

[pothead]

Wellington trade: Jonathan Giles

New York trade: Pick 5

Reasoning: I already have McIntosh so i already have an accomplished ruckman and pick 5 should be able to get me quite a good trade in the draft or if i trade it on

[AFEV]

Confirmed.


Reasoning

Well I don't want to rely on Jenkins and Pyke knowing how often the big blokes go down so adding Giles to the ruck department is great for our list.

Now very confident with out rucks having Lycett, Pyke, Giles and Jenkins.

As I'm sure a lot of you know I don't place a lot of value on picks so this was always for ontrade and I feel this was a good move for list balance.

I agree while pick 5 will get me a potential gun, Gray averaged 92 last year and if he can do that again he will already be elite. Only 24 and should be peaking when my team is decent in a year or two. He is a big injury risk so is probably worth less than 5 but if he stays fit thats a win there. Harper is to make up with Grays injury chance, While his average was terrible this year he was 65 without the vests and should be low 70s next year. Great backup when gray goes down. Tommy walsh is good if he plays but i simply dont need him after picking up 2 forwards.

If gray goes down injured and pick 5 turns into a gun terrible trade. Gray somehow stays fit and pick 5 turns into tambling 2.0 and big win. We will see next year if this is a good or bad move.

[tbagrocks]

All of you can stick it. I dealt with all the offers I RECEIVED. I can't predict your offers.

I think most people are more annoyed with tbag for saying he would pass on the offers and then never did ;)

And wouldn't you ask your assistant if he got any offers while you are away? If you don't, what is the point of appointing someone to manage your team?

Because he sent me a couple of offers which he thought was the best. Maybe yours wasn't good enough.

Your offer was discussed Q, we were trying to work out going purely youth or get a senior in!

[FisherSaints]

After lots of discussion, Toronto and New Delhi have struck a deal.

Toronto trade: Sam Fisher + Angus Monfries + NAT pick 61
New Delhi trade: Jordan Murdoch

Reasoning: Murdoch played one year of footy, played very well and showed a lot of promise. Fisher has 3 years left in him and Monfries could either play well at Port or play terrible. I'm hoping that he will play well. The pick is just a bit extra

Confirmed

Reasoning: I really rate Murdoch, I think he'll be a gun. Not sure if he's staying at Toronto or being on-traded just yet but either way I'm happy to have obtained his services. Fisher was no longer needed with me picking up Nicholson last night and now I'm desperately hoping that Monfries doesn't have the breakout year like many have predicted :-\ Like FS said, the pick was just extra to get the deal across the line.

[MajorLazer]

New deal between Cairo and Wellington.

Cairo gives: Sean Dempster, Andrew Krakouer and Pick 42.
Wellington gives: Jed Adcock.

Reason: I feel that I need a bit nor firepower in the backline and although giving away some of my depth, the firepower is more important than the depth.

[ossie85]

The trade etiquette here is incredibly bad.

You coaches need to realise we have months of trading period. So when someone is off for a few hours, and find players they have been negotiating for have been traded out without letting them know, that's just poor.

Some of the trades are ridiculous. Some of you are clearly are either being very stupid, or simply don't care that you are ruining the quality of the competition.

Some of you lack honour and integrity. You must be aware you are making trades that are very one sided your way.

Some of you don't respect the voting, and are letting votes pass because you won't your own trades to go through.

Some of you don't reply to offers, will say 'I'll run it past my assistants' and then I never hear from you again.

I'm very close to resigning. And I hate that feeling, because enjoyed year 1 immensely.

I wanted everybody to have an equal say in matters, and have let just about every rule go up for vote.

This is looking like it was a mistake.
