List Mgmt. Trade & Free Agency talk Pt 8

[guruisatiger]

Pies sniffing already apparently

After yesterday news thats not surprising

 

[DickieKnee]

I'm sick of us being s**t already.

Wait a while it gets better. We haven't copped any thrashings yet.

 

[DM#4]

Not entirely sure we get a first round pick for him.

Are we talking about Balta?

He is a FA in 2025. There would be zero chance we would trade him this year unless it was for a top 10 pick + something extra considering he would likely trigger Band 1 compo next year.

 

[tiger_tough]

Isn't Balta RFA next year?

Yeah. I meant this year.

Lynch

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Yeah. I meant this year.

Yeah no chance this year

 

[Willo_23]

Graham easily replaceable, would be nice to get overs for him but it it's an FA compensation pick we'll get shafted as per usual

 

[guruisatiger]

Lynch ain't going to Melbourne
Balta ain't going to Collingwood

 

[guruisatiger]

Graham easily replaceable, would be nice to get overs for him but it it's an FA compensation pick we'll get shafted as per usual

Will be after our second round pick

 

[prodigy]

I'd wander over to Gulden's manager with large bags denoted with dollar signs filled with money and simply ask "what will it take?"

 

[YeOldTiger]

Mine's a six pack and a large pepperoni.

On SM-A426B using BigFooty.com mobile app

My older sister told me it was only a regular pepperoni

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Lynch ain't going to Melbourne
Balta ain't going to Collingwood

True, instead
Lynch is going to Lollingwood; and
Balta is going to Shebourne.

 

[Bojangles17]

No different too our situation with Lynch.
Dusty >>>Kmart
Cotch>>>Moore
Jack>>>Pendles
Prestia>>>????

If anything they have more room than we had.

I’m not talking tpp I’m talking draft pics they don’t have a r1 went to freo , to make a pre fa move it needs to move the earth they got NOTHING

Pre fa would need to be 2 very early pics to even get us interested , Coll have a r2 pic this year so keep walking , there window is shut now I wouldn’t get too excited

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Sorry was talking about contract.
Even if they had a 1st why would they 1yr out from RFA.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

Graham easily replaceable, would be nice to get overs for him but it it's an FA compensation pick we'll get shafted as per usual

In other words we'll get a slab for him

 

[THE_GUN]

Looking like Richmond will be freeing up alot of cap space this year

Prestia - $600
Grimes - $450
Graham - $450
Dusty - $1.2 mil
Baker - $600k
Pickett - $450

Could be as much as $5 mil

Meehan is doing his bestest! The others need to show some spine!

The fact people are actively advocating for a North Melbourne style ‘older’ player cull when we’ve clearly seen what the result of that would be is baffling

The fact people are actively advocating for a North Melbourne style ‘older’ player cull when we’ve clearly seen what the result of that would be is baffling

I'm one who wants a cull, but I also have a group of 12-15 older players that should be retained where possible, to give us that experience core the kids can be played alongside to ensure that we remain competitive on the field and not become the next WCE/North.

Martin
Pickett*
Naismith*
Lynch
Broad
Vlastuin
Nankervis
Short
Hopper
D.Rioli
Baker
Taranto
Graham
Bolton
Balta

Of that group, Martin has a decision to make, stay with us, head elsewhere or retire. Graham is a free agent who has put off talks and Baker & Broad could be headed back to WA given reports both have either purchased or are building homes in WA.

* - Pickett is in that group, but it depends on his court case and how that progresses. Naismith is another that is part of it, depending on how Ryan develops this year as well as Naismiths body.

That means that Grimes Prestia & McIntosh are the older ones that I would be cutting, while we could also lose 1 or more of Martin Broad Baker or Graham. So it could be up to 7 experience players that move on this year.

North Melbourne delisted 11 in what was a zenith of their list turnover. None of them were world beaters but that amount of mature bodies departing the list in four years has seen them finish 18th, 18th, 17th and 16th

The early picks they’ve drafted have quickly gotten losing engrained in their culture. It would be folly to go down the same path

That's why I'd like to keep as many of that first group as possible, so that we do have that experienced core to provide leadership & experience. Even if we were to lose 5-7 of them through retirement/free agency/trade, we'll still have a good core there, but it will mean that we need some of those unproven kids to step up over the remainder of this year, so that we don't end up in WCE/North territory
