2018 VFL Rd 2: NBs vs North Melbourne

[Thryleon]

Why would anyone want to play for us Thry?

Players we trade or give away, they may struggle to get regular games at higher rated clubs, some do some don't, yet they do get games at higher rated clubs when they couldn't get a game here or were no longer wanted by us like we had ready-made replacements!

Where are the ready-made replacements Thry, the better players we picked up?

Are we supposed to be improving the list, not just turning it over?

You are one of the loudest proponents of adding depth to our list, how does trading away players capable of getting games in teams higher up the ladder add depth?

No

Billy Gowers.  Who else has left our club to star elsewhere.

Nick Holman?

For all of them there's a mark Austin,  Adam hartlett,  Jake Edwards, Luke Mitchell,  David ellard, Kane Lucas, Marcus davies, Patrick McCarthy,  Jordan Russell,  nick duigan etc that are surplus to our requirements because we need main event players.  We've even kept some of them like Sam Rowe and recruited our own versions in Andrew Phillips, jed lamb, o Shea,  etc.

They are peripheral. All of them.  Robinson is an outlier because he was gotten rid of to set standards as well as being better than the rest of them but the fact remains that your initial point is moot.
