List Mgmt. 2014 Trade and Free Agency Targets Thread

[LB2Snake]

He was drafted in 2002 to Carlton as an 18 year old, so no, I don't think that is the case.

Ah righto @BTron, must've been another bloke......we def had one that pagan let go and ended up at Carlton....not Digby, Micky or Corey. I always thought it was Simpson. Was there a josh Simpson? I'm positive my mind ain't that shot.

Corey and Lindsay were the only two who went to Carlton from Denis' trading iirc.

You had Digby and Teague who got traded by Laidley. There was also a Murray roo named Jon McCormick who we were very keen on. Denis got to Carlton and immediately rookied him before our pick.

This forced us to make other plans and rookie some kid named Michael Firrito..

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Where did you find out Harry Cunningham was a north supporter?
I Rate him fwiw

There was an article about it in the Daily Telegraph up here on Thursday. Can't seem to find it on their website though.

Love a bit of history re NMFC...... I just googled our playing list from 1992 era......interestingly, Carl Dilena played 10 games for us, picking up 39 p's in his 2nd game.

 

[Ahern2Boof]

Can we really say that the likes of Fyfe, Martin and Carlisle for example would've been as good as they are now if drafted to Melbourne?

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Fyfe and martin stepped straight in with little development and had an impact. They would have had the same impact at any club. carlisle took a bit more development but im tipping he would have been fine.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

We must go hard after one of Patton Tomlinson or Boyd over the next three years

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

I'd go hard if we got all three.

 

[Blanket_melb]

Patton. Give him Atley's no. 18, give Atley whatever he wants

 

[Heaps of fun]

You'd have to move heaven and hell to get Patton. Jaksch or Tomlinson will be more in our range. If we have a good year and offered them games we'd be a chance.

The AFL's current version of Free agency isn't working.. too much dead wood on lists year after year… by the third year… you either have that player who is stagnating (read: ultra inconsistent and skill set not improving) or in near career form. The loyalty factor I can appreciate and that's why guys like Boomer and Dustin Fletcher are the true ONE CLUB Legends… every other guy who isn't pushing himself to get to the next level should be MOVED ON… simple as that. I'd like to see 7-10 player movements of senior players from EACH club… not the jaded 3-4..

 

[The Roosistence]

I'd go hard if we got all three.

Hard to please. I would over 1!

 

[Woodson]

It's not only their development of their young but also how they handled their older heads, they traded a number of them and sent others into early retirement. That destroys the fabric of a club. if they had of worked harder to hold onto the following players they would have been significantly better off (maybe not onfield but in a development sense)

McDonald
Robertson
Bruce
Miller
Moloney
Sylvia
McLean
Even to a lesser extent Scully

Coupled with this is their historic waste of early draft picks:

Watts - Naitanui
Morton- Dangerfield
Trengove - Martin
Maric - Scott Selwood
Strauss and Blease - Shuey/Zaharias/beams/hannerbury
Gysberts and Tapscott - Bastinac/fyfe


Then they've lost to other issues:

Clark, Jurrah and Wonaemirri


It's not like they made a few mistakes, they made every mistake every year for about 6-8 years straight

Don't agree roos_fanatic08 The Dees real problem was about hanging onto the same type of inconsistent player i.e.: Bruce-Green Sylvia-McLean Robertson-Miller

They should establish where these players are at by the time they get to 26/27/28… are they playing career best? (that means CONSISTENT!!) if NO… trade them. It's not rocket science. They decided to keep them another year.. and even a couple more too long… that's just DUMB.. that's a Round 2 pick at least when these 'similar types' of inconsistent players could add something to a team pressing for that Premiership push.. Stan Alves was 29 when they let him go and that's something the AFL need to shake up … Mid season TRADE window… to bring some vet players careers to life.. otherwise it's the same old BS… the vets die in the magoos, some kids are not up to it… although some show something late in the season… but it's just a 'GOING THRU the MOTIONS' as a team process.

Players skills not that flash btw… how many can kick both feet on the run under the pump, let alone able to use both sides of their body???? less than 40% me thinks.

I couldn't walk properly for an hour after reading the original post.

I managed to find the article you were talking about, like to keep track of the players that supported north as a kid and now harry cunningham adds to that list

We won't be the only ones.

I have an idea.......

 

[TheMidRunner]

I reckon we should try and steal Lenny Hayes, plus now Nick Dal Santo is here he might be more likely.

 

[verypoorboy]

I want Patton

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

I have an idea.......

Goldy must re-sign pronto, we must not let GWS get him as a free agent or we lose our currency.

edit: Ashamed of typing re-sign without the hyphen.

 

[ozzyoslo]

GWS got mumford why on earth would they want Goldstein............... not going to talk about Goldy. I wash my hands with discussion of Goldstein.

Edited due to bad english (thank you B Tron)

GWS got mumford why on earth would they want Goldstein............... not going to talk about Goldy. I wash my hands with Goldstein.

Wait, not GWS. Carlton.
