List Mgmt. 2015 TRADE discussion

[Devastating Boris]

No idea. But Collingwood would probably ask for Hogan, Brayshaw and our next 25 firsts.

Don't be surprised if pick 6 would do it. That would be a big part of them getting aish and Treloar.

 

[Topkent]

Pick 6 is unders if we are chasing him, and good if he wants to leave

 

[schmuttt]

There is the sneaky rumbling around Sidebottom out there. Last young member of the Swan/Shaw/Didak ratpack and unhappy with the club chasing yet more mids when they need help at both ends of the park. Wonder if that is the deal...

Where is this coming from?

They can have our first pick and Toumpas.

 

[Tulip]

StKilda gave up 16 or something to get lovett when they were in premiership contention.. Worth the risk
Brisbane also traded picks for Staker, Raines, Clarke etc and made a semi final

So your argument is that Carey liked to party, Cousins' rampant ice use didn't stop him on the field, and Fev + Lovett were decent risks? We don't need the scandal, and we owe it to our players not to recruit a guy who is throwing away his career and is clearly a disruptive influence.

Oddly, I feel I have heard this too. Except I come up blank when I try to work out when and where. I have a feeling it's because Striker somehow manages to post with authority and I start thinking whatever he said must have some cred.

I wish I could do that.

My argument is first we need to ask if he can help us win a premiership and then work backwards, not say is he a risk and then work forwards

 

[LeverPuller]

Where is this coming from?

Been hearing it for months. Didn't really buy it until my actual source said that he could move (although not necessarily to Melbourne, more away from Collingwood) if both of Treloar and Aish come in.

On raw talent, the guy is as good a footballer as Ablett and Fyfe. He cost Gold Coast pick two, they signed him up on big money when they were on the way up. Look at them now! Do you think they're making 'a statement' or 'fixing their culture' by getting rid of him? Sure, his exit will address both - but he's on the way out because he is damaged goods and nobody - not even clubs in their Premiership window like Richmond - wants him. Freo is the only club, and they're staring into the abyss and have little other choice than throw themselves at him and McCarthy. Carey's affair ruined North for 5 years, Cousins did in West Coast with his buddies Kerr, Fletcher and Chick for 10...and neither club has fully recovered yet.

 

[wowlace]

Was at Footy Show grand final. At Crown till 5am. Turned up late to Richmond meeting that day.

Thats the rumour. Doesnt matter though, we dont want him.

Wow, err that's poor form.

 

[stabler]

This coming trade period for the dees is looking like being a big, steaming pile of cow dung (figuratively speaking)

I'm no caravan salesman.

 

[Devastating Boris]

The original stuff I heard was that the pies would need to trade in better picks to get both aish and treloar. After this I heard that sidebum was not happy with the influx of mids coming in. I haven't heard much recently about it but old sidebum would be mint.

 

[Unknown Identity]

Got word that Bugg is 100% a Demon next season.

Good get for you, has a bit of campaigner in him!

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

All I want out of this trade period now is to cut Dawes (if not Lumumba, M Jones, and Terlich too), not trade our first or second rounder for some dork like Melksham or Ben Kennedy, and not trade Watts or Toumpas for peanuts. Anything else I don't particularly care about. Just don't * things up. Wouldn't mind signing Fitzpatrick as a rookie or some other semblance of a decent key forward, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Should be only bringing in blokes who can kick, not looking promising so far.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Kennedy and Melksham can.

Bugg can't.

 

[Punchy Demons]

I think Bugg is out of contract, Kennedy is in contract. Melksham is out of contract.

They aren't worth the steam off my s**t let alone 2nd rnd picks.....
3 blokes that are avg or below avg footballers & im being kind there.

We are destined to be s**t for a long time.

 

[VanDemonxx]

This is my take on things

Melksham will be a good get. He is a good player, has some dash and some goal sense.
Tom Bugg is a steal if we get him for our 3rd rounder can play mid, HB and HF.
Ben Kennedy is an interesting one. For a 3rd rounder i'd happily do it. He has goal sense, makes good decisions and is a good kick. But I think a 2nd round pick is definitely overs for a bloke who can't secure a senior gig.
Trade Howe. Doesn't seem interested 80% of the time. Suns' 2nd rounder (pick 22) will go just fine
Toumpas is 100% gone. Ports' pick 29 will get it done.
If somebody offers a 2nd rounder for Watts then take it. Any less, i'd rather keep him. Like the ball in his hands when going forward.
Hard with Dawes. He is a solid contributor and he works his ass off, but his skills just are not quite good enough. Unless a club offers something decent for him, rather keep. Offers good service and is handy i guess.

If we cannot lure that A grade mid this year, then so be it.
If we so happen to finish off the trade period retaining pick 6, go tall
pick Curnow. If he is unavailable, take Weidman. Our mids are developing fine.

we have hight/strength mids coming through -
Brayshaw - 88kg, 187cm
Petracca - 186cm, 94kg
Vandenberg - 188cm, 90kg

Add those 3 to the midfield of Viney, Neal Bullen, Tyson and Possibly Salem, thats a midfield that has potential to mix it with the best in 3-5 years

Lets face it. Jesse needs support. Both those draft choices provide that

 

[Theo X]

Happy about Bugg
Not overly happy about Toumpas leaving
Don't want Melksham or Kennedy unless it's basically for a nothing pick
Hope Watts and Howe stay

 

[MarcMaverick]

Also Trade radio Parkers manager is confirming he will leave for melbourne


No he actually said he will probably extend with sydney before christmas

PUT THE BLOWTORCH ON YOURSELF SON!!!

 

[CWaffles]

Whats this crap about Richmond being into Dom Tyson? was it mentioned somewhere of note?

 

[Theo X]

Think it was a random Herald sun article, sounds made up.

 

[jmac70]

Why would Collingwood bring in Aish if it meant Sidebottom would leave?

 

[BEEG]

Why would Collingwood bring in Aish if it meant Sidebottom would leave?

We are not bringing in Aish that's just media speculation
