Thread: brent stantons worth?

Dont't even know why I'm arguing this, I wouldn't want Essendon to accept a trade for Stanton, he is worth more to us than we would get for him . I still think he has a lot of growth left in him and has improved every year he has been at the club.

And are you not using nothing comments...

Many people have given their reasoning behind why they think he is worth the pick they are suggesting but you only seem to be concerned about arguing semantics. I have...

oh HAHAHAHA ur so funny. sorry that i like to shorten my spelling down. also you answered your own question when you said most players. some do get exceptions. but according to you he is slow and cant use the ball so what does it matter. right?

The bottom line is that a player can't be worth more than anyone is prepared to give up to get him. You can't say "this player is worth a first-rounder, even though no club will give up a first-rounder in return". That makes no sense. Am going to have to pull you up on...

I still come across Hawk posters who see his height and state "We should play Birchall at CHB". Just because you are...

Stanton is a star - probably my favourite player outside of Adelaide. Ever since Chris Knights' move to half-forward has been so successful I've thought the Bombers should copy it. They are similar players, both are very skillful players and have long precise kicks, but both are incredibly bad decision-makers in the midfield. I'd be very interested if he was available but if anyone says the name "Walker" I...

You must get pretty bored with life Gunnar. This is a football forum, specifically, the "drafts and trading" section, not a place for you to argue semantics. Why do you feel the need to prove yourself, strutting out the same line in every second thread? Forums are places for people to post their opinions, and whilst yes, you are entitled to yours, it doesn't necessitate your constant derailing of threads. Let the people...
