List Mgmt. 2014 Trade and Free Agency Targets Thread

[Egga]

I'd be very interested in Johno O'Rourke.

Flying right under the radar.

Agree. I thought he was one of the best in his draft.

 

[The Nostradamus]

O'Rourke, Plowman and Jaksch uncontracted.

GC have less talent in their 2's but Luke Russell might be worth a look. Jesse Lonergan if he can't get a game (which I expect he will when he's fit). Matt Shaw looks like being squeezed out by Kolodjashnij so he'd be a reasonable option as well.

Would be happy with any of those players mentioned

 

[Daz]

This is off-topic but almost related: Who do people see being let go just to get one or two of these players in before the draft takes place?

Not sure what you mean. Are you talking about delistings? They're typically done about a week after the season finishes and in some cases after trade week.

 

[Daz]

Firrito, Nahas, Anthony, Hine, Curran and Wilkins under the pump for various reasons. Jacobs not completely in the clear and McMahon is contracted for some reason.

 

[Daz]

I'd be surprised/slightly alarmed if the club don't already have at least one of Goldy/Hansen/Basti already signed up and just waiting for a good time to announce it.

The most shocking thing for me is how on earth have some of these players stayed in the game for so long?!

Butler, Williams, Edwards (only showed consistency last season), Logan, Stewart, Dunn (10 years...what the bloomin' hell???) and Jetta.

Boggles the mind!

Improving the team without giving up a pick/player would be point #1.

Of course, but are either better options than Bastinac/Greenwood/Gibson? And surely we would need to pay decent coin for what would in essence be a role player. Again, I don't really see the point. To me it seems FA is to be used to snag a gun player and to plug holes in a list.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Not sure what you mean. Are you talking about delistings? They're typically done about a week after the season finishes and in some cases after trade week.

Yeah, delistings. I just got the timeline wrong. Your next post answered that for me, thanks.

Yeah, he's better than Levi and Gibson, as well as JMac (who I'm a fan of). He's finished 6th and then 4th in the St Kilda B&F. He's a good defender.

ATM our defence contains Atley, Mullett and McDonald. All future mids (we hope). Geary would slot into our defence really nicely.

I'd argue having players that can balance attack and defence is the biggest hole we have in the list.

 

[Deddy]

Out of that lot the one that interests me the most is Robbie Gray. Wouldn't mind us going after him but there isn't anyone on that list worth throwing the kitchen sink at. Save the sink for Dave Swallow.

 

[MaddAdam]

Jeez, Jono O'Rourke or Will Hoskin Elliott would be perfect for us.

 

[tazaa]

Hi BigFooty
Get used to the name Jono O'Rourke
I have a feeling that we are going to read this kids name on here a lot!

 

[Augustine]

Great, the trade thread is already back.

Here we go again...

 

[The Filth Wizard]

I can't believe James Gwilt is already a ten year player. I remember him playing Under 12's with my little brother at Silverton.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

It's ok mate.

There's nothing wrong with looking to how we can add to the team to go back to back.

 

[MaddAdam]

As I recall he was a pick 3. I wonder what they'd ask for him?

 

[tazaa]

Pick 2. Only played the 1 game. Local boy who would not come cheap, probably what the Deez paid for Tyson.
Not sure how pick 18 will land him

 

[MaddAdam]

Oh yeah, they'd want players.Good players we wouldn't want to give up.

 

[year of the roo]

Daz is right to admire Geary. I wouldn't throw the sink either, but he would be bloody handy. I'd like to think Taylor Hine would step up and make this debate redundant, but he's not really doing that just yet.

Plus it would be hilarious to see the Saints lose another senior player.

 

[tazaa]

Yep. Which makes me think what wed have to give up to get Josh Kelly.
He and Lukey are best mates. Anyone see how happy and passionate Mac is when he runs out. For his loved team. That would burn Josh IMO. *in rule changes. Geelong get 3 flags out of it and when our turn comes the rules have changed. *in AFL.

Hansen will likely be staying. Quickly becoming one of my favourites. This will cement it.

[roos_fanatic08]

Good reliable player who would definitely be best 22 with us. Would be a good lockdown player but could find his own footy if we released as well. We could use more players with his accountability.

fair enough mate. i just cant recall watching him have any real standout games

No s**t. Up the road from where I grew up.

UMMMMMMMMM I too played for the Mighty Bears.

We are from Silverton the greatest team of all. We are from Silverton we're always on the ball. The read white and blue that we wear on our chest, proves to all that we are the best. Go the Bears!!!!!!!
