List Mgmt. Player Ages Thread

I agree we won the trade, but what else did you want? Pick 6 was no chance in hell especially when he can walk to the PSD, I didn't hear any whispers of extra players thrown in at all. Which leaves late round pick upgrades which in this draft seems to be pretty much useless. You got the best deal you could get, I don't see how some of you can't understand that. Yes he is worth more then that but you guys had no bargaining tools.

Someone didn't lock the doggy-door to this thread!

Interesting that Dodoro said they were spending most of the time trying to convince Crameri to change his mind as the main reason for holding up the trade.

 

[Bennett.]

Who would our match up for Crameri be? Tough match up really

honestly? Someone who can run 10m without giving up.

Bullshit, we have Leroy ****ing Jetta!!!!!!

I agree that PSD has no place now.. especially when there is FA..

Otherwise it is draft tampering and does mean that players can bend clubs over..

At least if you had to throw yourself in ND then it would discourage players being stubborn about trade options..

I would add that IF you were to scrap PSD and have ND.. then any players who have been on a list for 2 seasons or more MAY put a 'price' on their head.. if that makes sense.. they don't have to be paid recruit wages..

But then it means that anyone willing to pay the price can get the player.. plus would give rise to some interesting situations.. where exactly would a guy like Crameri go.. would it be first round.. or would he get the second round anyway?

I think this is a really good point. Essentially all it does is allow clubs to ream other clubs to get good players for cheap. I also don't understand the reason for it existing when you can pre-determine where you will end up. Sounds like draft tampering to me. Make players walk to the national draft and really have them roll the dice. May lead to more uncertainty and fewer players demanding to walk.

It would have been brought in for players unable to be traded, overlooked in the draft or state league players hoping for a chance. Now it is used and abused by clubs wanting a player they believe will get to them one way or another.....

Personally I'm not a fan.. but I know lots of guys on here have wraps on him.. again all relative to what you will get for 55.. which might not be a lot..

Might not find something I agree, but Dodoro and the other drafting/recruitment staff at Essendon seem to be masters of finding gems with late selections.

 

[rines]

Dodoro said today Freo are offering pick 58, and that we'll have 2 live picks.

No need to speculate.

Ahhhh that is where I heard 58! Thanks BTG.. I knew I had written that for a reason!

Oh well lets hope they can get 55.. because we are so hard to deal with..

 

[Tommy08]

I don't understand what's going on.

People are overstating all of his deficiencies but some people are saying we deserved more than pick 26.

What is it?

Dean Solomon.

 

[rines]

What would you think of:

Pears + Gumby for #37
Sign Mav Weller

 

[Nifft]

Ronnie Andrews

Replace Pears with Jetta and yes please!!

Ronnie Andrews

Richard Cole!

What is it?

As a leading goal kicker and a guy you are offering 1.8M too.. you would expect to give up slightly more than 26..

By the same token.. he has some weaknesses and probably shouldn't have been offered 1.8M in the first place!

Personally I would have hoped we could do a slightly better deal but with regards to losing Stew.. I'm meh about it.. I think we won't miss a beat on field and I think he will do SFA for the dogs..

 

[rines]

Replace Pears with Jetta and yes please!!

Well I was trying to be realistic..

Jetta might be able to get us an upgrade from #58 to #55.. maybe.. probably not..

Whatever it is, it's not sore loser syndrome. Promise.

The exodus has started...

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Paine for Karnezis being discussed according to Peter Ryan. Commonsense trade, Paine and McGuane would both get a lot of game time up north.

 

[bomberz20_72]

Well I was trying to be realistic..

Jetta might be able to get us an upgrade from #58 to #55.. maybe.. probably not..

Heck, if the dogs can only give us 26 for Crameri then I'll be damned if we'll be fair and equitable with who we off-load for decent picks! Jetta, Gumby and Davey for pick 17! Maybe we can threaten to let pick 17 walk to the PSD for nothing if the Dockers don't now to our demands....

Well, I'm hearing strong rumours that this departure was just the first.. expect more in the next 24hrs..

 

[efcboy]

Gubleton + 26 for 17?

Throw in Jetta..
