List Mgmt. Out of contract player watch 2014

[coniglio_number1]

Here we go again another year another season full of x player is being chased by x club, homesickness, psd threats and all that sort of jazz.

Jono O'Rourke: midfielder (VIC) his first year was crueld by injury but with Adams and Tyson leaving he has surely moved up the pecking order. Former #2 draft pick

Lachie Plowman: Defender (VIC) was in and out of the team during his first year but with Bruce moving on he will most likely play a more regular role in our team. Former #3 draft pick

Kristian Jaksch: KPF/KPD (VIC) lots of rumors of homesickness but didn't request a trade and his manager has denied the rumors, let's see if he impacts this year. Former #12 draft pick

James Stewart: Forward (VIC) former father/son candidate and seen as a project player. Will be given time to develop and have heard no rumblings about homesickness from him. Former #27 Draft pick

Stephen Gilham: Defender (OLD) potentially his last year

Josh Hunt: Defender (OLD) same boat as gilham and likely his last year

Dylan Addison: hard nut (NSW) given a lifeline by the club and his future depends on his output.

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

Is that all?

Happy with that.

Time to be able to put in the early groundwork for those in 2015.

 

[captainMyCaptain]

Contract wise our focus should really be on guys like Cogs, treloar, Shiel, Cameron, Tomlinson, etc whoes contracts end in 2015 now's the time to lock them away with contract extensions

 

[coniglio_number1]

Give Cameron a 10 year contract! Lock him in

 

[Determinant]

Silvagni is no idiot, I think we can be content he is looking after the contracts that matter

 

[Turbocat]

Give Cameron a 10 year contract! Lock him in

At what cost? If I was him , id say yes If it was locked in at 12% of Salary Cap (or something like) . If you think thats too much then wait till some clubs go crazy trying to get him.

Isn't patton coming out of contract?

A few years of injury can leave a guy wanting a fresh start, Collingwood might go hard with quiet a bit of salary cap space and the promise of 22 games without competing against boyd/cameron for 10 years

Not until 2015... There seems to be a common misconception that Patton will be coming out of contract though.

Sad to hear that, still I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't a giant in 2015.

If he were to request a trade (and that would be understandable with his injuries and boyd/cameron) there would be lots of suitors putting up big offers. Is he on track for round 1?

At this stage - yes. As of three weeks ago he was unencumbered aside from contact work and they were building up his change of direction. It'll all really depend on how the pre-season progresses for him.

Who would you be willing to give up for him?

O'Brien + L.Keeffe + 1st round for Patton + 2nd round and steak knives imo

Keeffe is a very promising young key defender with excellent height, O'brien ex AA and still playing well and will still be playing next giants finals tilt. Based on giants recent history I think our 1st round pick (probably around 10) will still hold value for them, particularly in a strong draft.

In return we get an fabulous talent who could provide an amazing combo with cloke, however he has already had 2 knee recos for memory which drops his value as his future career is far from certain. 2nd round upgrade + steak knives(player) gets the deal over the line

Thanks for the offer but think we might hold on to patton and just grab Ben Reid as a restricted free agent

Would need 800k minimum over 4-5 years to grab reid. If that happened we would have huge salary cap space and eddie would make sure we got revenge.

When's Jeremy Cameron coming out of contract

Haven't you been corrected before on Patton not having two knee reco's?

 

[blaze036]

Nope, was it only 1 reco?

 

[Scully2Folau]

Nope, was it only 1 reco?

Indeed, one ACL. The other procedure after being drafted was on the other knee to alleviate patellar tendinitis (jumper's knee)

As a background, during the trade period it was all "pick 4 + Easton Wood is a great deal for a guy who's had two knee recos/ACLs"

Fair enough, do you think Keeffe+O'Brien + pick 10(ish) is fair then? IMO its slightly in the giants favor as keeffe has proven he can play at AFL level and has improved very quickly coming from a non-afl background.

plus O'Brien who at his best is AA and has strong marketing potential in the WS region and pick 10 which really isn't that much worse than pick 4

 

[dlanod]

Are these trade suggestions with an "O'Brien" meaning Harry O'Brien, the free agent at the end of 2014?

Yay, now that Buddy's settled it's starting already for next year.

I notice you didn't mention how Keefe is coming off a reco, but were a bit quick to falsely state that Patton is coming off two.

Isn't that what any good salesmen would do

Also Keeffe has already successfully returned, whilst patton's successful return is still in the air and he has had other injury concerns

 

[Giant Pete]

Yeah, jezza remembers keefe's second game back well

 

[blaze036]

Fairly sure he toweled up nathan brown not keeffe

Watch the replay.. They tried keeefffeee after brown and he schooled him too

 

[OrangeDuck]

Jezza kicked 7 goals in that game, who cares who they were on.
