Mega Thread 2012 List Management - Drafts, Trading & Free Agency (Official/Reported ONLY)

no-one wanted Pearce last year because he would have cost pick 19. Many people don't mind the idea of securing Pearce this year because he would cost us nothing. Pretty obvious I would have thought but....

False.

DWD is just a visionary.

Bit of talk on the Carlton board about trading Jeff Garlett. Bit down on form from last year where he kicked 48 goals and laid 96 tackles but still kicked 29 this year. Thoughts?

WA boy isnt he? Hard to say what Carlton will do without a coach atm

the worst user of all time.

 

[Wanna B Hird]

I dont think Shinners will last until the rookie draft

Dunn - Well Done
aka Majestic1
aka AUSTRALIAFL
aka RAW TALENT
aka Keystone Agony
aka about 6 others I've forgotten

The only oxygen thief on BF who is allowed to sign back up every time he's banned.

From the same mind who brought you 'Western Bulldogs will play finals in 2012' and 'Ryan Griffen is a big chance for the 2012 Brownlow Medal'...

 

[Travisty1331]

I know it been said 100 times before but Lovett would be amazing to still have the team if only he's off field antics were as good as he's on field ones

 

[Dwight Schrute]

There was talk on the Sydney board about JPK having not signed and the possibility of him leaving, I doubt it will happen and even if it did we would be no chance but boy, I would love to have him down here, although him and Jobe in the midfield...

 

[Howard Moon]

we probably thought the same about dickson. and we probably thought we could let campbell sit there until the 2nd round of the rookie draft. if the club wants shinners, and expects him to play a role, either straight into the team or first depth option, get him in the national draft. no point risking it.

only difference being their Bendigo coach (who may have known our intentions) drafted them to the bulldogs when he went there. Would be very unlucky for the same set of circumstances to happen!

 

[Chambo]

Back to Koby Stevens...on the Eagles board there is a lot of talk about wanting to keep him, as they rate him, some have said his endurance doesn't suit Subi, but are resigned to the fact that he's going, I haven't seen a lot of him so can't really comment, with Ash Smith a chance to leave, the Eagles could potentially have 4 picks in the first 40 or so?

Don't know if this has been posted already but given Hirds comments during the year you would expect fletch to play on. Again not giving much away about how we will be in trade week but given the unsigned players and Hirds comments, you would expect the club to do everything to sign Myers and Gumby. Reimers, Jetta perhaps shopped around or given another deal and I suspect Gus could be gone. Probably will continue to grow within but top up with FA since they will come at next to no cost to try and last a season rather than try and pump time into mature rookies especially while we have room in the cap

God no.

Form fluctuations are wild.

Cant get em all

Throw enough shit against the wall and some of it will stick.

 

[yaco55]

Lets get Clinton Young should help our durability issues

2011 - no one wants Pearce except me
2012- Everyone wants Pearce

Moloney is anything but a free hit especially considering Port and Syndey will be in the bidding process. How much do people expect we will have to pay a 29 year old with banged up shoulders coming off a nothing season where he couldnt get a game for Melbourne that finished last?

Also just to add to discussion havnt seen him mentioned. Ash Smith from eagles firmed into best 22 last year but with an early injury hasnt been able to break into the side and has dented his confidence. Has a booming kick, can run and rebound but also showed last year his ability to stop small forwards. Would get him for a very little i would think.

Think Ash Smith and Kobe Stevens will move.

Think Smith has more upside but we don't need another defender - unless he is an elite kick - And Smith's kicking is ok.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

God no.

Sounds like a small forward.

 

[ZAAHAARAKIS!!!!!]

but by altering your diet you can increase the amount of stickage.

anyway, we need to draft Ben Duscher. Could come in and play a huge role for us tomorrow (or round one as it was) Probably doesn't have the same ceiling as Barlow, but I saw them both play vfl, and they are on par in terms of their midfield capabilities. But Duscher is a leader and a goal kicker. I would be devastated if we didn't get him.

 

[yaco55]

Back on topic.

Jetta for Wellingham - Please do it - Wellingham would stiffen up our midfield and Jetta would be Ok as a small forward - Jette would push out one of Sinclair or Elliott.

You are 100% correct - Has enough attributes to be a forward/midfielder.

 

[FlyingV]

How old is Ben Duscher? and how tall? And whats his strength inside or outside mid? Also whats his star sign...?

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Sounds like a small forward.

But this is even when the team is firing.
