I've been told repeatedly that I have too much value sitting in my reserves. So naturally I thought I'd open them up for trade. Mainly looking to give up 2 for 1, 3 for 2 etc. Would generally suit a coach that is rebuilding and has good footy knowledge.

If anyone's keen let me know. Here's my side:

FB: C. O’Shea - J. Kolodjahnij - J. Ashby
HB: R. Harwood - C. Delaney - D. McStay
MF: I. Conway - J. Taylor - T. Hunt
HF: J. Lyons - B. Staker - L. Herbert
FF: D. Markworth - T. Williams - S. McKernan
RU: J. Spencer - 2nd Freo - NA
IC: S. Martin - NA - NA - NA

I should have mentioned, I'm looking for best 22 players, not project players.

In all seriousness, and I say this with the upmost sincerity, because it benefits me that good teams have value in their reserves.

While there's definitely truth to that contending teams don't need value in their reserves, I believe other managers often try and pray on guys with good reserves sides is part of an elaborate tactic to get the manager to trade out their reserves somewhat cheaply to marginally improve their best 22.

Case and point: As Brisbane's manager in the early days, I would often tell Terry the same thing about his reserves (and then proceed to offer him a marginal upgrade to his 22, for a major upgrade to my list). I don't think i'm the only one, but Terry could confirm if others have used similar tactics.

We could still revive things.

If you send me a LOI, I will do the same, and then we'll endure a stand off for a week before one of us builds the courage to make a starting offer.

Sound good?

Sounds like you've been talking to RLL. I had to fill out a 20 point questionnaire and even then I was required to make the first offer.

Well, I think my NA is slightly better than your NA, so I'd need an upgrade on Hunt.
