List Mgmt. 2015 Draft, Trades and Retirements Thread Pt 1

[Millky95]

Here is our total direct return from all of those players leaving:

2014, Pick 32 (George Hewett)
2014, Pick 35 (Toby Nankervis) (How did we only get pick 35 for Mumford?!)
2015, Pick 37 (James Rose)

Hewett looks good
Nank could replace Tippett in a few years imo.
Rose looks good

Swans could trade them all for a bucket of s**t and you would say at least the bucket is nice

Plus I doubt GWS will be that open to trading with us, they would rather screw us over in a trade than help the player out as we saw in their trade "offers" for Mumford and Lamb.

Incorrect. You're viewing it from an emotional perspective. Professionals don't bring emotions into it.

They offered us nothing because they were near the bottom end (i.e. the bottom
) of the ladder and they knew that they didn't have too. In addition we were financially stressed at the time so they knew where they stood.

This year they're higher up the ladder and we aren't as financially vulnerable.

Mckernan going ok, could of rookie listed him or something

You can do a lot with a bucket. Some friends used two at uni as giant etch a sketch controls

Now id like to play with a giant etch a sketch

It was projected onto a screen and you moved the buckets to control what you drew

Yes and I remember many on here said the same thing last year. A missed opportunity?

We are just supporters behind a keyboard who really knows what the club wanted to draft but was not possible due to a whole host of reasons, remember the player in question has to want to come here.

And we always have to pay overs in terms of $$$

I would of liked him and brown. But what do i know i guess

 

[Tuco]

We lost the trade Unless Rose becomes like twice as good

So Rose just needs to play 2 more quarters? Awesome.

Just for you Minson fans! Now, open your eyes!

 

[The King!]

Does not mean he cant play

The small issue that he isn't a ruckman...he plays in the ruck (sort of) but he is better up forward pinch hitting in the ruck ideally. Missing McKernan just meant we missed yet another 2nd ruck. We have enough of them.

It means he's a f***wit!

 

[The King!]

And if Mickey O stories are true what is he?

It was a dumb sledge but who cares if he is the right fit

Which i am not saying he is

Please elaborate 'cos I've heard nothing. If however, you're referring to the incident in SA with Heuskes, it's rubbish and the outcome proves it!

Also, it's not the only sledge, he has history. He doesn't fit, won't fit and will not be drafted/traded...swans don't operate like that!

Why elaborate my whole point was its got f all to do with their footy

Righto you let sydney know its not allowed then

 

[Mick Oxlong]

Righto you let sydney know its not allowed then

Stop being a dick mate, the fact is, they're after Luenberger, not Minson. You know that, the AFL world knows that, why would you even dream this bollocks up?

 

[Mick Oxlong]

Elaborate, or is it a case of 'you heard a rumour, I doubt it's true' and I'll run with it? Go with fact, their on/off field indiscretions have a lot to do with footy.

What's all this Biggs revisionist crap? He never got into the seniors for an extended run because of shaw, mattner, malceski, shaw, smith, Johnson and everitt. For all those complaining about his trade, of those players in 2013 does he get ahead of? Take out everitt and matter in 2014, add rampe, who does he get ahead of?

We'll be better off in the long term, nothing to see here, move along please.

Everyone knows he's a flog. Old news is old, just raking through the mud.

Clearly going to be trader by the dogs this year. If he can still play, which he can, why shouldn't we pick him up?

Of those 6 players you listed, 5 wont be playing next year. Would easily be best 22 next season and maybe even now.

Considering our depth problems, we shouldnt have gotten rid of him for nothing
