I knew there had to be a reason why he didn't return my calls, never mind no one can resist my charm for long :rollinKoalalill said:You and hundreds if not thousands of others TG ;D
Harry said:I'm also of the opinion that we shouldn't trade Coughlan IF he is committed to us for the long term.
Hawthorn and St.Kilda are bashing their heads against a wall for not selecting him ahead of Hodge and Ball.
Koalalill said:What about Newman? I wouldn't trade him myself but what if the Weagles said we'll take your first pick and that kid Newman? Do we take that deal and lose a top up and coming player for another young gun. The answer to that would be a resounding NO I would have thought.
of the 3 i would say rodan.nothing against him but i believe what we see of rodan today will be the same for the rest of his career.krak and newman both have plenty of improvement in them.Harry said:Koalalill said:Rodan wouldn't and shouldn't be traded. He has future leader stamped all over him IMO. Krakouer - again I'd be surprised if he was offered as trade bait - he is very happy here and the Club has invested alot of time in him.
What about Newman? I wouldn't trade him myself but what if the Weagles said we'll take your first pick and that kid Newman? Do we take that deal and lose a top up and coming player for another young gun. The answer to that would be a resounding NO I would have thought.
However if the eagles wanted one of Rodan, Krakour, or Newman then I would say definately YES.

id hate to see him go as well.i very much doubt we would anyway as i believe we have nothing to offer west coast.its a pity that brisbane didnt stay pigheaded last yr and didnt trade headland to the shockers.if we picked up headland in the pre-season draft we would be in the front line for a headland-judd swap.rosy3 said:johnson2richo2003 said:nothing against him but i believe what we see of rodan today will be the same for the rest of his career.
Interesting j2r. I'd think Rodan has a ton of improvement in him.
He's really a baby in terms of experience. I'd hope he will develop a better feel for the game with time. To keep his refreshing exuberance, but to know when to turn it on and when he'll be caught out.
With time he should get to read the play better and develop his instincts more.
I hope he'll build his fitness base as he matures so he can run all day.
I don't think he's ready for a lot of time in the midfield yet, but look forward to the time when he is.
He has that very rare ability to both inspire a team and the crowd.
I reckon Rodo has special qualities you just can't buy and I'd hate to see him go.
