List Mgmt. 2014 Free Agency, draft and trades news and discussion **Not the trade hypotheticals thread"

[Strapping Young Lad]

Anderson really isn't that quick.

Adrian?

 

[PenAndPaper]

Anderson really isn't that quick.

Exactly, i'm always baffled by people saying how quick he is. He's not slow by any means but he isn't overly quick

 

[TheFourPillars]

Webster is though the boy is lightening

 

[beta_condition]

Still faster than Lewis, Hodge and Mitchell ... granted not all that impressive.

 

[kenneje]

Hope the coaching group can work out how all 3 play in the same side next time we play Port!

Are Port even that quick? White, Hartlett, Grey, Wingard, Neade and Polec are the only ones that immediately stand out to me.
I think it was more their 'who gives a s**t lets just all bail forward at the same time because we have nothing to lose' attitude that ****ed with us. I feel that's more a gameplan issue than a personnel issue. Frawley and Whitecross will help mind you.

In one proposed deal, Carlton would slide from pick 6 to pick 18 in the national draft in return for Jaksch, a No.12 pick two years ago.

O'Rourke, pick 2 in the same draft, would move to the Hawks for pick 18, with the Giants gaining pick 6 for the pair.

[Rushed_Behind]

They can get stuffed if they want pick 18 for o'rourke.

You wouldn't give pick 18 for jack watts, you're not getting it for this unknown.

 

[Hawkk]

expect frawley to nominate geelong not confident we will land him especially if its on a reduced rate

Why?

The mail going about is that we'll revel him tomorrow at midday. I guess we'll have to wait and see. I'm not that fussed it we get him or not it would be hilarious if he signed for us for reduced terms

 

[Tall Tales and True]

O'Rourke's pick No 2 two years ago, & he wants to return home (they didn't kick him out, & they got a zillion to cover for him); sure, there may be question marks over 'fitness' - attitude even - but our 2nd pick is 37 ... they aren't that stupid. Some pretty serious wheelin' & dealin' will be needed to save our first.

Apparently they also indulge in a variety of "set plays" that sound pretty cheeky. I think it was Derm who described one where all the forwards congregated in the pocket and then burst out into the centre of the 50 once the centre clearance had been won to try and take advantage of that chaos.

They've also been accused of sitting lots of players forward of the stoppage so they'll have a head start on their opponent if they win the stoppage and they simply run back hard to force another stoppage if they don't win the first.

Some innovative strategies and new spins on old ones. They'll get almost as much attention as us by opposition coaching panels in the off season. I'll back Clarko to be one of the few to come up with an effective counter.

Is Sewell trade bait? I think we only played him in the Qualifying Final to get him to his 200th.

He's un-contracted and a free agent, so no in the practical sense.

I was under the impression he was contracted for next season

Someone told me today he wasn't. Dunno, to be honest.

 

[Rioli magic]

Trigger clause that wasn't met.

Probably an endorsement for trigger clauses really.

 

[Jaeger]

Sewell is an unrestricted free agent.

 

[PenAndPaper]

Ah well i'd say he is all but gone tbf. There are two list changes then so far with Garlett

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Sewell might make a good onfield coach for GWS.

I honestly could see Collingwood picking him up. Perfect Ball replacement and with Beams going they really need a bit more experience in the middle

That wouldn't make much sense.

 

[Kuuz]

Collingwood getting a player that actually improves their midfield? I agree.

Collingwood need a midfielder who will sustain them for at least 2-3 seasons.

Sewell probably won't do that.

He'd be ideal at GWS to take some heat off the kids, take them under his wing and be an onfield coach.

Sewell straight swap for Shiel?

Yeah, why not?
