AXVS: OFFICIAL TRADE THREAD (2014/15)

[Nige]

I just want to say. If I get banned for medicre banter and trying help out 'kids' then this forum has died. This is not for my selfish reasons. This seems to happen every year with this one 'kid' and it seems to not fix the problem. This is small banter and I haven't really said anything harmful intentionally.

Why would you get banned? Haven't seen anything ban worthy here

Somebody clearly doesn't have an eye for inflammatory, derogatory or bullying posts, particularly when the source offers nothing to forum except doging and moaning as well as having a track record of warnings and suspensions.

The cat eventually has to run out of lives.

Choosing not to get proper value for a player, could be seen as a form of collusion..

I think its more tanking for good draft picks in the 2016 draft.

[JBs-Hawks]

just quietly... what was the trade that started this :P

Michael Hibberd and pick 25 for Jeremy McGovern and pick 13

Dont forget pick 25 ;)

[nostradamus]

Yea nah Nost is 100% in the right here we cant expect him to give anything more up, thats Nigey and Koops job to ask for in the initial trade talks. Any of us would have accepted that trade so Crabs are all good!

What I want to happen is for Nige and Koop to recognise and acknowledge they could have, and should have gotten more for Hibberd instead of just trying to defend their trade and point blame at lez whenever possible.

Also I agree with Ricos proposal on two outsiders of the trade have to protest BB for it to be sent to the tribunal.

Yes we couldve gotten more scoring power for him, we chose not too.

Yep see you still not getting it so we shall continue

Are you saying I shouldnt think for myself and bow over to a bit of banter?

No they just want to know why you CHOSE not to get more from a premium defender.

Versatility and potential. Thats why.

It really is time for all of this to stop.

You guys weren't privvy to the trade negotiations, nor should you be for that matter. But suffice to say, there were other offers on the table that l believe would have satisfied most of you more, but that's not what it's all about .......it's about what we think is best for our own team, not to pander to the opinions of others.
There seems to be a general implication that we have taken advantage of Koop/Nige, this is definately not the case .........they have progressed their team remarkably well since 2013 (last place) through good strategic planning and continue to do so.

Please let this end, it does no good to our league or the great reputation we have built up.

AXV is the best league of all......let's keep it that way, not how it's looked more recently

lol your kidding right?? Much worse is said on this forum and gone without punishment. Sounds like you just have it in for Lez

You know what,

This is my also last post in this section bar any more trades and drafting. Im sick and tired of you bashing the trades Ive done for the last three years running. Its my team, I have a direction and frankly its sapped almost all my desire to play in this competition anymore. I doubt any of you would want to take what you guys have given to me for the last three years running about how I run my team. Do you see me doing any of that to you? I chose to trade for McGovern to give my team more flexibility. Its all well and good to trade for more scoring power but if I cant use it on the field theres really no point. I thought you all realized when I made finals this year. However obviously not. Iobviously dont know how to do this myself and you all need to beat your chests whenever you dont agree with it.

See you all in 2015.

-Koop.

(( For the people who have good relations with me and trading (you know who you are) more than happy to talk regarding deals, just flick me another PM reminding me as my inbox has taken a hammering lately.)

I'm curious now........

with Vlossy/Rids deactivating his ff account and Koop no longer willing to comment in the thread, whether there will be some form of self reflection? ......... or will it just result in more derision, blame, "AXV banter" (or harrassment as it's called in the real world) and pathetic self-justification?

Good on ya guys.......you "win"

Happy??

**I'll be back to commenting and involvement in the threads when l calm down a bit and things get back to normal**

The following two comments echo my thoughts exactly:

Choosing not to get proper value for a player, could be seen as a form of collusion..

The fact that this trade passed, basically means no trade should ever be rejected.  Which can't be a good thing for the health of the Comp.

So when the trade gets blocked, you can come and argue but when it passed through the committee, we should move on?

Koop clearly did not take the best possible deal for Hibberd which is basically tanking. My co-coach got sacked in WXV for tanking and all he did was name a few players that turned our not to be best XV. Trading away one if the most valuable player in the comp for 50 cents on the dollar is far worse than that. Not sure what this "flexibility and potential" rubbish is. Does anyone actually think that Mcgoern has the potential to be better than Hibberd? And the flexibility comment is irrelevant, as shown by them still being interested in a premium defender. No flexibility is achieved by weakening your best XV and not achieving any long term advantage either.

The trade being complained about was the reason it went to the committee which we didn't vote for. We have the right to voice our opinion and support the decision that BB made, to block the trade.

Ban Lez. Not because he deserves it, just for lols.

Seriously though its great to finally see some decent banter about the place. Most of the shower dished up is embarrassing haha.
