Melbourne Recruting Manager says: Leon not up for trade

[CQ]

davis is too inconsistent, we dont need players like that. piss him off i say.

if the deeees are interested then why not take it up with them and see what we can get.

im sick of collingwood thinking their players are too good 2 be traded, why shouldnt davis be up for sale? last time i looked he doesnt play like chris judd. everyone should be up for sale!
bar bucks tazza and ant. everyone else should be looked at!

im sick to death of hearing about how were going to get <insert big name here> to get a good player you have to swap a good player, UNLESS of course if youre richmond dealing with collingwood, in which case you can trade shit players for good players or excellent draft picks!

[Joel]

Just wanted to point something out:

Davis kicked more goals than Didak this year.

[BBHS]

games played comparatively between the 2?
for 04 season

[CQ]

2 more goals than didak is nothing. he also debuted a year earlier than didak and is nearly 2 years older too, if you wanna get technical.

but i agree that didak is inconsistent too, although melbourne isnt looking at him are they?

[Joel]

Sorry, Davis played one more game. Two more goals. Relatively, in front of goal, they have brought the same result.

[CQ]

ahh but davis is nearly 2 years older. i bet didak will be a heaps better player in 2 years than what davis is now.

[Joel]

Who said Melbourne are looking for Davis? No one said they are. Collingwood could have given them a list of players that won't be traded for all we know.

CQ, Davis kicks goals, we take him out of the side, we need someone else that kicks goals. It's a simple as that.

[CQ]

didak has got a lot more to offer than davis, just accept it.

davis has a big head, 'call me magic' who does he think he is? daicos? i think not.

and i dont see him with a rising star nomination, which didak has. and the rising star predictions are usually pretty accurate if you look at the history of who has won it and how good they are now. of course not all of them have turned out to be great but the majority of them have.

[CQ]

well then, do you think collingwood should have put him in the 'untouchables' basket?

I dont.

[CQ]

oh btw and i dont think didak should be in it either, just that if theyre ever so similar as you keep saying, if i had to trade one of them davis would be it.

who would you trade first? davis or didak?

[BBHS]

Didak would want to be better than leon he was picked 3 overall. So he has some seriuos expectations, plus the whole stevens thing.

Leon was picked 34 in 99

[CQ]

true that, but i still rate him as a better player than davis, just needs to not try and be so fancy sometimes, same with davis.

[Joel]

You have a knack of 'putting words into peoples mouths' CQ. I never said they are similar. Where did I say that? I merely stated that their returns for this year were similar.

Didak does have alot more to offer, I agree with that, but I didn't say he didn't. So why are you even bringing that up?

...and no Leon shouldn't be untouchable, but I don't want to trade him, unelss we can get a goalkicker for him (who is going to kick 20+) goals.

[CQ]

so after all that posting we pretty much agree!

[Joel]

Yes. But, I'm just stating that I don't want to trade him willy nilly.
