List Mgmt. 2014 Draft Trade FA Megathread

[God Save Max King]

I wouldn't say nothing like him...

Gray, IMO, more skilled than Petracca, more composed but less athletic, less powerful, slightly slower and not the brute that Christian Petracca has become over the past couple of years. Gray is cleaner and more effective, think Martin, Dangerman or Ziebell are the comparisons.

 

[Periphery]

Good thing it looks like we are in prime position to get both Petracca and Mathieson. Add in a PP next year and we are laughing!

 

[Mowman]

O'Shea's been pretty impressive tonight, but I can't see why he'd want to leave a young side that's a hair's breadth from a GF...

I thought he was real good last week as well

 

[saintsrfreak]

Along those lines, yep.

Apparently if we can get a second for a certain player we want to trade a second + 3rd for a pick in the teens. What we want to do and what actually happens are two different things though i guess.

#28

No one pick up on this?

I saw it. If we trade Stanley though... I'd REALLY want to get Wright somehow which the only way I can see that happening is us downgrading pick 1 or packaging up Armo with some picks, which is what we were trying to avoid. Seems to create more annoyance then it would help us imo.

 

[Barrels]

No one pick up on this?

Geez it's risky... Who plays the fwd/ruck role then? Longer hasn't shown a lot of forward nous, Hickey a little more but still not much and Holmes and Pierce are a fair way off still...

Also, Wright will be gone before the teens and McKenzie isn't necessarily big enough to effectively ruck at league level.

 

[Periphery]

It would be a pretty interesting move to trade Stanley. It would leave us with even less depth up forward and no real ruck/forward option, but would indicate that the club really rates our ruck stocks.

We might be able to do Stanley and 38 for Ports 16?

 

[kernelT]

That would be fun if Ryder goes to Port and they give up their first. 16 and 19 for Hickey. Or maybe if we are being a bit more realistic/generous 16 and 19 for Hickey, Siposs and 38?

Let's remember we are talking about Essendon here… the club that is just so arrogant that they barely ever get a trade through.

They never want to part with a decent pick and want massive overs for very average players.

Lovett would be the biggest trade I can remember them being involved in… and they only traded him out because he was trouble and the whole club wanted him gone.

Forget getting a good pick out of that bunch of filthy cheats… I'd rather keep 15 ruckmen on our list than trade and potentially help them.

Said this 2 months ago Stanley for Ports 1st round pick, all I got was your dreaming mowman

I'd honestly rather keep Stanley. If we can't get Wright then I say no to trading Stanley unless we can get a top 16 pick for him alone, which no club is going to give.

 

[Mowman]

Port are in the window and will pay overs to fill their gaps

 

[Manimal_Dunstan]

Port will get Ryder IMO.

If not they seem to be all over Lowden.

As Mowman said, Port might think that Stanley is just what they need and might pay overs. If Ryder chooses them we can kiss any hope of that goodbye.

They would suit each other too. He is quick and mobile and would look better in a better team. I think a lot of teams would rate Rhys higher than a lot of fans.

 

[Hayes4PM]

Port should look to get one of Ryder or Stanley, Lobbe is a good ruckman but not good at all around the ground. He's like the anti-McEvoy.

 

[TheLastEmperor]

I wouldn't say nothing like him...

You are on your own with this one, Unc. Gray is Schnieder with a better tank. He's clever, clean, footy IQ is top notch and a nice one on one player for his size. Petracca is a power athlete. He wins the footy with brute strength and pace at the contest. Boak, Martin, Danger and Parker are far better comparisons.

When isn't he on his own, who would want to agree with him ever....

Just watch Sydney swoop in and take Ryder as a delisted FA. They love their freebies does Sydney.

They said they have no interest in Ryder.

But it'll be funny for the lol's if they sign him.

Maybe it's this 'Stanley to (Port)' stuff that's behind the awful 'we're into Jones' stuff?

For arguments sake, let's say we snagged De Goey with the Stanley pick and took Jones via the PSD...

Is that a win?

U25s:
FB: Wright - Delaney* - Roberton
HB: Newnes - Bruce - Webster
RK: Hickey - Dunstan - Weller
CR: Savage - Petracca - Steven
HF: De Goey - White - Billings
FF: Longer - Jones - Templeton
Int: Markworth, Curren, Ross, Acres
Em: Murdoch, Saunders, Shenton, Minchington, McKenzie

Where are they at: Lee, Siposs.

Spine of Frawley, Reid, Ryder, Tippett, Franklin.

Can't fault COLA… seems to be working well.

 

[TheLastEmperor]

We want 3 picks inside 21 & 5 inside 55....Adding to that our new found appreciation for all things Petracca therefore pick 1 is off the table.

The first part of the equation is to retain picks 1, 21 & 38. Now we need to get another two picks between 1-21 & 21-55.

Stanley, Milera & 56 for 16. Would they do it? They are right in their window and a ruck/forward is the missing ingredient. If they miss out on Ryder this could eventuate. Milera is simply 'free' they may pass on him and he plays SANFL. Up to them.

Who wants Siposs, he's going cheap? The Roos with pick 52? Geelong with 51? Someone may bite.

That gives us our objective: Picks 1, 16, 21, 38 & 51.

Going off KM's Mock and slightly altering depending on who is available at those picks:

Pick 1: Petracca
Pick 16: De Goey
Pick 21: Langford
Pick 38: Viojo-Rainbow
Pick 51: Wigg

We are not talking about Jones from the Dogs are we

Yep. Some sick bastard suggested we're interested.

Ugh.
