List Mgmt. 2013 Trading & Free Agency

[Swanzforeva]

Chancees of the 2 clubs being involved in any trade negotiations this year I'dd say would be slim at best ........residual bad blood

Pity as the 2 clubs have been good traders with each other over the years

If Sydney enquire about players Adelaide don't really want I'm sure they'll come to the party

 

[spenze]

Where's this talk of Jetta wanting out coming from?

Hasn't signed, paper rumour is he wants to leave Sydney

Two chances of Adelaide getting him

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Will have to wait and see how ruthless they are this year. Two or three need to go if we are in a position to trade, on top of what we are delisting

I suspect as Sando is quoted ....."Adventurous"

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Wouldn't bank on it

Just looking for bigger pay packet ....agree Adelaides chances are two

Yea, it'll be different circumstances and i'm sure there won't be managers whispering about secret clauses and such. Both teams will come to the table if they can both get what they want I think.

I imagine he'd fetch quite the haul of goodies if he was traded.

 

[Swanzforeva]

Looks as tho Thompson had a good 2012 but he's been battling a bit of late

 

[Vader]

We would like him but I doubt that we would have much that would interest you. Port will have more to offer and they will probably get him unless he nominates us as his preferred destination. Players on the block that could be used in a trade:

Tambling
L. Thompson
Jaensch
Martin
A.Riley

Who have a collective worth of 3 pinto beans...

 

[Team DJ]

none and eff all

 

[Mego Red]

Very, very tempting.

Unfortunately, stupidity isn't against the BigFooty posting rules. We'd depopulate the board if we banned all the stupid posts.

Is this like when everyone wanted me carded when I suggested trading Tippett? You even closed my thread.

You have a player, and there will be a gap between him and his replacement. Lets say it's 10%.

But by replacing him, you get something. And the difference between that something and the player HE replaces is 30%.

You do that trade. And it doesn't matter WHO the players are.

This is the direction all baseball/basketball/professional sport list managment is going. Data based and unemotional.

How does he go in the sanfl? Thompson that is

Thompson goes alright, probably one of the better SANFl defenders, the issue is he's shown no development in the past 3 years, he's barely improved since arriving at the club. Unlike Wayne's-World I do think he has something to offer at AFL level, his issue seems to be that he's caught between being a 3rd tall and a key defender. Wouldn't surprise if Sydney went after him, he's the type IMO that they'd back themselves to make a player out of, but wouldn't cost them terribly much.

He came in for Talia in your final right? He's only 21 surely be worth a shot

 

[Mismatched]

Correct, and did a reasonable job. If you're in need of a relatively cheap, young tall defender, could be worth a shot.

...but true

No some player traits you can't coach out ........my big 2 issues with L.Thompson is:

1. He plays like a midfielder in a 194cm body .......his height is not used in his gamestyle

2. Watch him ....all good players hold their feet to varying degrees ...L.Thompson under any pressure ALWAYS goes to ground

These traits of good players do not fail you when you look ay history of good players

Douglas used to go go ground

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Douglas used to go go ground

Didn't he just keep losing his feet? ...... L.Thomson deliberately goes to ground, Douglas didn't

 

[FR0GGY]

Seriously who does that? Other than danger hunting the ball

 

[WaynesWorld19]

don't understand the comment .....and there;s a huge difference in Danger hunting the ball and a player going to ground under pressure rather than hold his feet

 

[FR0GGY]

No no I agree, I'm just saying who goes to ground deliberately?

 

[Sanders]

Or option B: Fremantle were idiots for trading pick #1 for Croad. Even crazy Vossy wouldn't make that trade today.

Yeah they would.

Croad was a #3 pick from a superdraft, athletic monster coming into his prime, who had stood up in finals...

The hawthorn faithful were distraught he was traded.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

No no I agree, I'm just saying who goes to ground deliberately?

i agree ......some players in bending over to get the ball don't have the balance, strength over the ball , or confidence to hold their feet and seem more comfortable in going to ground leaving handball as their only option

I reiterate l>Thompson is the disappearing man

We see recent article on Shaws return .....article on many players EXCEPT Thompson

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Looking fo KPD? ....which by the way IMO is a ruse ....but for sake of the discussion :

What's Justin Clarks situation ......is he in the second year of a 2 year contract?

Would he ......or shall i say "should he be a target"?

if he is..then offer him %600k p.a and get him through the PSD

oh wait, its the AFC

Id say Geelong could be enquiring about LT. Falcons kid , maybe more opportunities at Geelong. Not sure what they would offer. Perhaps just wait for him to be delisted , its hard to judge these days.

Has anyone hear anything about Crows talking to Menzel? Heard it at work surely its rubbish?
