GITC,
We have payers that would have been players that other sides would have taken. Gibbs, Murphy, Henderson, Yarran, Jamo, Walker, Curnow, Bell, Kreuzer, Levi, Simpson, White, Betts, Laidler, Warnock, Robinson, Garlett, Touhy, Waite, Menzel, have all had times when they had true value. In a trade they would have returned value back to the club. Sure some of the players are gone. Done and dusted. Returned little to nothing to our club. Some because of the AFL system in place. Especially how the FA system works. Some because we said too much to the media and sold the players to have no value to the club due to culture, which as a stupid idea to say the least.
We lost what we lost and need to get over it. Can't turn the past back to benefit our future. However the way the current squad is playing, we will need to delist more players. We need to turn around our list again. We can't hold on to all our older senior players. Not if they don't show they can tow the line for the next 2 to 3 years. So where are we left then? Holding all the senior players because they are the best we have to build on what? Players need to step up at every level to gain some value. We never know what a club will see in a players potential if they step up. Bell is a classic example. If he continues to plays at his best, another club might see value in him.
Should we trade him? Answer at fist is No. If they offered a 1st round pick for him? The answer would be a different issue. I am not saying he has value, but at the moment he could look to be a player most clubs would want to trade for. All I am saying is that with most players , their value is in the last 8 or so games they play. Many forget what has happened before. Cotchin as an example. Done sweet FA in his first 5 games, and in one game is called a hero of a leader at the club. Why? Because he has shown talent in the past. Just like our players have in the Ratten years. Not to the same extent, but talent way above what they show now.
Our players might show a lack of talent at the moment. However they really show a lack of intent and a lack of a contest. Thomas step forward, along with a list as long as my arm. Its is no longer a case of a coach who can't get his team to play. Its a case of do you want to play footy at AFL level ever again. You are about to get dumped in the sh1t hole of no return. We have no players of any value to other clubs, and the sole reason is that the players don't give a flying feck. They will be the ones that lose in this situation and the players only have themselves to blame, because they don't want to work for their money.
I would bust my right and left one to just have been given a chance to play VFL footy to get a sniff of a chance to play on the MCG in one game of my entire life. Then again I don't expect spoiled pussy players to give a feck about the club either. They have helped find a way to put us in a position to win another wooded spoon. Thanks boys, and thanks Mick, along with the board, feck you all. Sorry GITC not a go at you at all. Just p1ssed at where we are at the moment.

This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.
