List Mgmt. General Trade/Draft/Free Agency Discussion/Speculation

[Kummerspeck]

I think if we're trading players out, it will be for picks or to get them to the club that wants them the most, not for other players.

But then, what the **** do I know?

 

[Membling]

Getting sick of all the trade Reid talk. Cap isn't that tight that we have to have a fire sale. With Bolton, Mattner, Morton and Mumford with the possibility of White and/or Lamb going, coupled with a 500k increase in the cap this year we are in ok shape.

Very, very doubtful we'd give up Reid on the cheap

The deadline for nominating academy players is 2pm. Will we nominate Jack Hiscox or Harrison Green? Will GWS nominate Gibbons or King? Do we have any interest in them if they don't?

Just announced on Trade Radio GWS have nominated Barrett. No mention of any others nor Gibbons/King.

I didn't bother listing Barrett, would have been ridiculous if they didn't list him.

Gibbons had a great carnival, if they don't nominate him I hope we have a look at drafting him.

Is this one of the kids GWS have been hiding from Eddie?

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Why is there no outrage of Eddie contacting Riewoldt and trying to lure him to Collingwood?

 

[Punts]

Everitt will be on the market come Monday according to AFL.COM

Feels like we are slashing all our depth like we did with the Tippett trade. I would of kept Everitt he was more than handy.

 

[Superstar swan]

Really wanna keep everitt, very versatile player. He is a must keep.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

I mean with White leaving do we really need to offload Everitt are we really that tight on cap we can't offer him a new deal?

I'd wait til we hear it from swans about him being up for grabs. Whites salary alone would more than cover everitt , with change

Exactly.

GWS have apparently offered picks 1 and 4 for Fyfe

They don't have pick 4

Pick 9?

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

They don't have pick 4

Pick 9?

Sorry for not clarifying mate.

It's likely bullshit but the way they were going to get pick 4 is from trading Patton to the Dogs then offloading 1,4 for Fyfe.

Oh okay, they're crazy if they trade Patton after missing out on Buddy. Pick 1 and 4 is overs for Fyfe but Fremantle would likely still reject it.

 

[ScrewInStuds]

If this went down, in the space of a week and a half their expected forward line will have changed from Cameron, Patton, Buddy, and Boyd to Cameron and GiantMan... trade week is weird.

 

[Weiterbot23]

Lucas and our first rounder (12 or 13) for Reid?

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Lucas and our first rounder (12 or 13) for Reid?

What sort of player is Lucas?

 

[Weiterbot23]

What sort of player is Lucas?

He was pick 12 in 09 I think, scullys draft.

Is a wingman, HFF

He is a skillful, fast, good over head. Plays very outside.

Knocks on him are that his a tad soft but still has the potential to be a very good player. Is imagine he'd thrive in your clubs culture. Plus another first rd pick never hurts.

Reid would solve a lot if problems for us.

 

[Superstar swan]

Surely they are not gonna trade Patton. Maybe another highly regarded youth for pick 4

 

[Cadsky]

What sort of player is Lucas?

Lucas is a spud. Cant get regular games at the blues. Plus our midfield stocks are just fine without adding another.

Bit harsh. Lucas is def best 22 when fit for us and is developing, has plenty of scope for improvement.

Seeing as Reid will likely be playing reserves or retained as a backman I thought the deal might be a win win.
