List Mgmt. Player Ages Thread

[Ben the Gooner]

To be fair, he has been constantly injured since joining the club. I don't even remember him actually completing a pre season. Has played the last few weeks in the reserves and shown a fair bit. We all got a bit scared when we though he was injured again a couple weeks back. But he played last weekend and performed very well against the Swans reserves side.

He seems to be settling in at Brisbane now. If you had asked me earlier in the year if I thought he would be gone, I would have said yes. Now I'd probably lean to no.

I'd be curious to know your thoughts on what guys like Crameri, Pears and Gumbleton would be worth? All would fill a big need for us. Do you think Gumbleton or Pears would be best 22 next year?

All three are gettable. Crameri because we can't match the reported offers floating around, so he's going to have a tough decision to make, the others because we don't have a spot for them.

 

[WEEVZ]

I'd re-sign Crameri if he wants to stay, and trade both Gumbleton and Pears as neither are in our best 22 (Pears in particular tends to be dropped as quickly as he comes in). Would both of them combined in a trade to GWS net us Pick 1?

Nuh uh.

Pick 10 possibly (which gws also own) but not pick 1.

no

I think Gumbleton will be gone - Is only on a one year contract, and Daniher is taking his position. Third Rounder would get the job done.


Would like keep Pears and Crameri, as we have Hille retiring, possibly Fletcher, Gumby leaving and Bellchambers we don't know yet. Can't afford to lose these players.

I went to the Sheedy fairwell game today, I would love for us to have Adams, he looked amazing.

If we somehow manage to get him in a Bellchambers deal...

Would absolutely give up TBC to get him after watching todays game (+ some more of his this year). Its rumoured that Richmond is the other team that is really keen on him atm, if we put TBC on the table I don't know if there is anything they could pony up to challenge that.

He and Melksham's hardness would compliment each others.... hardness.

That makes me hard.

I have also heard that the tigers are deep into Adams & For good reason the kid is an absolute hard nut gun & Will fit perfectly into our young midfield.

what we would give up for him , Has to be our 1st round pick and with the chance that Essendon will lose their selections and Adelaide already exempt from the draft - Could be a top 10 pick

 

[gO_bOmBeRz]

What's the deal with T-Bell being dropped for the Carlton game? any word on if he's any closer to signing?

I think that would be your best chance. I would assume that GWS has a strong preference to best 22 players over picks though. I heard that you lot had put Astbury's name on the trade table

I think that both Astbury & Griffiths will be available for trade this year with the depth of players coming through - They can be afforded to be traded

Is Griffiths delisting material or more just put the feelers out and see what happens? I think he's a decent enough prospect, just hasn't really found a niche.

If he's on the scrapheap we could do a hell of a lot worse than pick him up for depth at both ends as a DFA or with a 4th-5th rounder.

Certainly wont be delisted and will be kept for another 1-2 years but may be traded depending on the player we are after or with the amount of teams needing kpp and this years draft having very little to offer after boyd - May just get something we need for him

No sure if this is the right thread to put it in but IF we lost our draft picks I don't think it is all that bad!!

Our list is in pretty decent shape, we would lose the opportunity to pick up 2 decent draft picks but whats to say we can't trade into the first two rounds via a Tom Bellchambers or other packaged deals done.

We have many players worth persisting with, a 3rd year developed Kavanagh is just about worth a 1st round draft pick anyways, a 2nd year Joe Daniher likewise. Again, whats to say we don't have a breakout guy like a Will Hams or a Lauchlan Dalgleish come and burst out of the blocks?

Just putting some perspective on the current status of of our list

(In saying that, I DO NOT want us to lose ANY draft picks for the long term success' of our great football club)

Completely agree, Keane will have to earn his money, but I don't think it will cripple us as it did Carlton.

1 because we won't be barred from an entire draft.

2 because we'll probably have access to delisted free agents, maybe even regular free agents.

If it was one draft (1st and 2nd rounders) or play finals, I'd play finals, it's a massive f u to the AFL and the players deserve every bit of it.

Sheridan re-signed with the Dockers today for 2 years.
So he is off the list.

There's no hiding that taking our first pick or two from the ND is a BIG penalty but if we still have live picks in this years ND 3rd/4th round we really could still unearth some gems(perhaps mature age players from the VFL).

Separate to that perhaps our trading strategy this year for players that are looking a chance to leave (Gumbleton, Pears, Bellchambers, Crameri) is that instead of asking a 1st round for a player like Pears say we get two 2nd rounders which in return will give us flexibility to recruit multiple quality players in the draft and cover the retirements of possibly, Hille, Fletcher? , NLM, Davey .. Although I believe if our ND picks are taken we will keep a few of those looking to retire or be delisted

I would be shocked if Bellchambers or Crameri were anywhere near the trade table. Think they would be closer to the re-signing table if anything.

Rumour on Triple M Adelaide that Hurley isn't happy at Essendon and wants out.

This thread may be useless for the next couple of years unfortunately.

yeah because we'll be banned from all 3 drafts, free agency and trading. and we won't be able to discuss list managment.
