List Mgmt. 2015 Trade, Draft, Rookie Draft and FA Megathread

[_Maximus_12]

For all the TAC cup experts / North Ballarat fans; who was the better player at the same age. Mathieson vs M. Crouch?

Both ball magnet, clearance beasts. Both have issues with their kicking, crouch a little moreso, but arguably had better numbers at the same age.

Mathieson is probably better all round than Crouch was. Crouch's engine during his draft year was something that saw him slide, as was his poor disposal efficiency and his lack of elite speed. Whereas from what I've read of Mathieson he's solid, without being outstanding by foot and is more like to get the ball in congestion and break free - as opposed to handball or bang it on the boot which Matt Crouch tends to do.
I've watched a lot of M.Crouch play and very little of Mathieson, but from what I've read of him that seems to be the difference.

On a different note, am I the only one who refreshes this forum every 10 minutes with the constant hope of an update from BrianSpeaking, stavro#4 and Moorabbin Ghost?

If Dangerfield leaves Adelaide and with Scott Thompson getting older, would Adelaide be enticed to get one of our inside midfielders?

 

[One 2 Roo]

So who we drafting with pick 7?

1. Bris - Schache
2. Carl - Weitering
3. Carl - Curnow
4. GC - Francis
5. Ess - Parish
6. Melb - Mathieson
7. StK - Tucker

???

I would be factoring in Brisbane receiving pick 2 as a compo pick for Leuy. AFL's PP - without actually offering a PP.

^ for some reason I had it in my mind that Matho was North Ballarat, was probably thinking of Hopper or Tucker :/ So scratch that. Lol.

I can't see Leuy getting Brissy band 1 but stranger things have happened!

There's a lot going on behind the scenes guys. Brian is correct, we are still keen on Carlisle and we really want to move our second rounder into teens. Not saying it will all come off but club is doing everything possible to improve our list. Carlisle would be a huge get for our club.

To get a pick in the teens I can't see us trading out any of the players with currency to do so (such as Webster for example) so could we be looking to trade this year and next years 2nd round pick for a pick in the teens this year?

Future trading and the academy bidding system opens up some nice opportunities to trade for lower picks with total draft pick points a priority for teams drafting academy players.

 

[Defacto]

Any risk of go home factor?

I'd be surprised if he lasted to our 2nd rounder with Freo and weagles having late 1st rounders.

I don't think so. His brother has been at port a while now

I agree but I don't think he will get past ports pick

There will be many options. Trade out a player AND our second, future picks etc. we will look at all options. Looking like our second will be around Pick 27 which is in no mans land in this draft.

Do we think some players will start to nominate clubs next week? Assuming they aren't in finals.

 

[Half Back Pocket]

speculating:

Redden to Adelaide for Pick 13...maybe with Pick 38 going back to Adelaide

Brisbane to have Pick 1, 13, 19, 20 (FA Compo - Leuy)

Would Pick 19 get Carlisle over the line?

I think Brisbane is one club that will be keen to get players up there, just whether anyone is willing to go?

Speculation here is that WCE are heavily into redden and will only need a mid to late second rounder to get it done

Is that a polite way of saying that besides from those 3 you think the rest of us talk crap

No offence taken here. I know i talk crap

Surely not, he's Contracted.

Pick 25 and under at least. Unless they offer a sweetener.

6 & 27 for 13, 20 & Aish? <- dreaming?

13 for Carlisle.

Come away with Carlisle, Aish and 20

He's not that great...24 years old...fringe player. I can't see clubs lining up for his services

Terry Wallace was the one going with the mid to late second rounder as he's not as good as yeo, but your contracted point is very valid one

Maybe your sweetener could be someone like McInnes or Brown to get the deal done

 

[Defacto]

13 for Carlisle.

Come away with Carlisle, Aish and 20

And then who do you select with your minimum 3 picks. Who do you delist to make room? Remembering we won't move on contracted players

Delisting shouldn't be hard, grab two late picks for rookie upgrades?

 

[Periphery]

If Carlisle picked us I'd pretty much only offer them our 2nd and a fringe player at most. We need to get maximum value out of any trade and I can't think of a club I'd rather screw over. It will also help compensate for the $ we have to pay to get him.

Who would Essendon be interested in?

Unsigned:

Fisher (ufa)
Simpkin
Ray
Siposs
Pearce
Minchington
White
Markworth
Payne (r)
Saad (r)

No idea who or what they need. But I guess the obvious choices from our point of view are White, Minchi, Saunders? I wouldn't give them anyone of any great value.
