List Mgmt. 2014 Trade and Free Agency Targets Thread

[scooby1279]

He is three years older and has a history of knee and soft tissue injuries. Plus it looks like he may actually stay at Sydney - if he doesn't then he is probably just looking for a final pay day.

I can see why we'd be going after Lumumba - he's not everyone's cup of tea, but he's a good age (27) and has plenty of finals experience.

Even after you mentioned all that I still rather malcheski, he is a star player and worth the risk.

 

[The Nostradamus]

I rate Liam Jones so would be happy to get him, would be a good value get as that forward/ruck.


And as for heritier massive no

 

[GarnerSmash]

Just say we add Lamumba to half back, does that then pave the way for the permanent moves to midfield for both LMac and Atley, thus addressing some of the pace issues in that area of the field? Half backs including Wright, Macmillan, Mullett and Lamumba, midfield including Ziebell, Swallow, Cunnington, Greenwood, Wells, Atley, McDonald.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Interesting Re: Lumumba... don't know how to take it.

Brad's "no dickhead policy" is real, can guarantee at least one senior player has been delisted in part because he was a "dickhead". Wouldn't harry o fall squarely into that.

does it worry you at all, that a club desperate for a forward can't make it work for Jones? it does me a little.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Didn't realise Liam Jones was only 23, for some reason thought he was a lot older.

Apparently has good history/rep with Brad and Walshy.

Look at his best he could offer some dash and adds some size on a back flank. It's the off field crap that worries me. I actually think he may end up with us, not sure how to think about it though.

No doubt he's the better player, but can see why we'd go after Lumumba. Malceski will only leave Sydney for cash.

 

[R00StaR]

That's my point, Currie is a list clogger fully fit and not good enough for a game.

Liam Anthony list clogger

Mitch Wilkins- list clogger

S McMahon- list cloger

T. Hine - list clogger

there's five how many draft picks do you see us using?


Then Harper, McKenzie and Jacobs.

Followed by in no particular order Tarrant, Delaney and Curran who are always injured. Big difference from someone who's not good enough when fit.

Our first pick is what 16? by the third round we're in deep speculative picks, hell even our pick 2 is.

Personally i think we'd be nuts to delist Tarrant, Delaney or Curran given the their potential upside. Plenty we can trim off the list who we know wont make it as you highlight.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Nah, for whatever reason seems out of favour at the dogs.
From what I've seen he looks good and their is definite upside there

He is inconsistent but has talent. I am very surprised that the dogs didn't just stick at it with him. They could do s**t load worse than having him play out of the square with his pace and size.

WB haven't had a good track record of developing key forwards. Whether he has what it takes not sure.

The thing I worry about both lmac and atley being in the middle is they may not be strong enough for midfield defending especially with the likes of Sydney and freo, think they are best suited on the wing.

 

[R00StaR]

No doubt he's the better player, but can see why we'd go after Lumumba. Malceski will only leave Sydney for cash.

Lumumba? Hell NO! Complete flog, dont want him anywhere near Arden St.

 

[Hatchy1992]

Big yes to Lumumba from me. Only 28 when the season begins, will add speed and ball skills from the back flank thus releasing Atley/Lmac into the middle and we need more outside players anyway. I personally have always rated him and i'll be more then pleased to see him wear the royal blue and white.

Don't know enough about Liam Jones to comment on that one.

 

[Egga]

Definitely. But is the problem Jones or the Bulldogs?

 

[marklovesbeer]

Any idea at all when we announce our delistings?

A lot of clubs did only a day or two after the season ended.

Would they maybe wait until the players have enjoyed their best & fairest night next week?

 

[shinboner spiggs]

How bout start talking to some good players?

 

[R00StaR]

Dont know if this has already come up tonight, so if it has sorry for the stale news.

But anyway was just reading this:
http://m.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news...gue-begins-20140923-10l124.html#ixzz3E8NTYWZm

Halfway down. Meeting with Lumumba this week, and could be making a play at Liam Jones. Not excited by either, would of thought there would be better players to chase.

If Hawthorn get Frawley i wouldnt mind getting Lake for a year - maybe 2 in him?

The Age is reporting that North Melbourne are already being aggressive with their trading strategy ahead of the trade period, as they have now been linked to serval players.

The Roos have approached disgruntled Magpie, Heritier Lumumba about a move to Arden Street.

North is understood to appeal to Lumumba because of his association with football boss Geoff Walsh and coach Brad Scott and the fact the Roos are in contention for a premiership.

It could tie in well for Collingwood, who have expressed interest in North's Aaron Mullett.

North have also put a official contract in front of Carlton free agent, Jarrad Waite who is still deciding on his future.

North have also presented Western Bulldog free agent, Shaun Higgins with an official deal, whilst the Roos have also approached his current teammate, Liam Jones who is out of favour with the Dogs and is yet to deliver on the expectations that came when he was drafted

 

[Harris 10]

What's his name is exactly the type of player we need but it will be hard supporting him.

Liam Jones - if you can't make it as a tall forward in a side that's had one tall forward since Simon Beasley, I'm not sure you're any good.

[DarkPhoenix]

No doubting Lumumbarry'O is a dangerous player... but geez I'd have to ignore he existed just to get by if he ended up with us.

I knew it was a bad idea for Mullett to get that sleeve tattoo.

Take a guess which one player won't be on the list next year?

 

[Ohhh Errol]

Mon-ey-ball! Mon-ey-ball! Mon-ey-ball!

Would be nice to get an absolute gun, don't want to go off half cocked as there's ways a surprise name or two to come up in the coming weeks.

Mullet for lumumba ey?
