Mega Thread Trade and List Management discussion

[Testekill]

Yes, it has been "suggested" to Fairfax media. Some journalist just said "wouldn't it be awesome if the Bulldogs couldn't afford their young stars? It would certainly put them back in their place"

 

[Igloo]

"It has even been suggested to Fairfax media..."

Can I suggest they write better articles, and they'll publish a story on it?

 

[Norm De Guerre]

"It has even been suggested to Fairfax Media..."

"industry sources suggest..."

"one player agent said..."

"player managers predicting..."

Awesome work right there. I think its fair to say that the Fairfax hacks aren't exactly enamored with the goings on at Whitten Oval right now.

Bonti's agent should be seriously nervous. Golden rule of contract negotiations....always come off contract. Never extend before you hit the open market. Silly boy.

 

[ivan rassmussen]

On SOS, he was with us in a part-time role and had a hand in Lake's early development at FB, also worked with Hargrave, and if memory serves me correctly, Gilbee. I don't care about his list mgmt skills, but he was a handy part-time defensive coach.

Sorry, meant Morris, not Gilbee.

They're not even subtle anymore.

Methinks some player managers are feeling the heat because Pickering has raised the bar too high for them and their clients are getting antsy.

Sos set to quit the Giants apparently. Better hope they get a bloody good replacement, they're gonna need one in the next few years.

Screw them

 

[Struggle]

What a quality article....We would(should) have already agreed to pay most of those players more than originally planned next season. Look at all the money that went out and what came back in....~180k of Tom boyd for Cooney, Gia, Higgins, Jones and most of Griff. We could probably give each player named an extra 150k this season and still be under the 95%. Except Bonts who is still on the base contract, but he will get his

 

[ivan rassmussen]

It's still a big gamble though. Hopefully it doesn't eventually cost us a player we don't want to lose (or at least not until after a flag!).

Apparently Taylor Hunt is going to be delisted? Would take him in a heartbeat.

(and maybe Mitch Brown too, but less interested there)

Wouldn't mind Brown and attempt to make him a defender, pretty athletic from memory.

Cats tried him as a defender.

The sooner people realise Mitch Brown just isn't very good, the better off we'll all be

 

[BRWB]

What's Burbury from Geelong like? Also delisted had some injury troubles but looked ok.

On SOS, missing Brody Grundy...when he had 5 picks prior....wow.

The jealousy is delicious.

hah I said that to a telemarketer caller recently - they hung up straight away

Has anyone actually come out and confirmed that Boyd's deal is going to be worth 7 mil over 7 years? As far as I know it is all just 'estimated' and 'reported' and in the article posted it is 'about' 7 mil.

 

[paul scholes]

Can someone have the good grace to remind some assembled loosely qualified journos that we have over a million bucks leaving the club next season.
Do they actually think the club didn't have these propositions in question when the deal went down?
It's a real "no your place" with some to be honest.

 

[paul scholes]

Little tiresome the hypotheticals that keep popping up.
What if this, what if that.
Yeah we get that it's a risk, as you've relayed that message ad f****** nauseum

Gosh no, we have Taylor Hunt types in spades.

 

[paul scholes]

I bet there are Hawthorn Geelong Sydney ( even with cola) players down the pay pecking order who could get more coin at other clubs.
If kids see finals and success with their mates they generally stay together.
This just more needless scuttle buck of hypothetical guessing

Would have thought the club would have crunched the numbers, and unbeknown to some who seem unhealthily obsessed by this whole trade.

"I am currently contracted to the Giants. After a successful trade period, the club is now focused on next month's NAB AFL Draft and contract extensions for a number of our players," Silvagni said.

If anyone at GWS starts talking about honouring contracts, should we be ready for movement?

 

[TBOW]

Mitch Brown delisted by the cats.
