List Mgmt. The OFFICIAL 2013 Trade/Free Agency Targets Thread

[Bren]

Got what we really wanted with no need for drastic measures given the balanced state of our list.

Take three picks to the draft, get some talent, and attack 2014 with gusto.

Time to close off this thread and leave it for the masses in the future to "time capsule" the winner of trade eon.

It's interesting, we've had inside info (from RF and HH, from memory) saying the following blokes are all gone. If that's the case then we'll be going pretty deep in this draft.

IN: Dal Santo, McDonald, Pick 30, Pick 47, Pick 65, Pick 83/PSD
OUT: Delaney, Gysberts, Kennedy, Mabon, Sierakowski, Anthony (rookie if no-one else takes him)

I suspect we'll keep Siera at least.

Reckon Anthony stays on list.

We will use picks 30, 47 and 65 + 2 rookies.

Seeing as we loaded up on players that were between 20 and 24 last year (Hine, Gysberts, Jacobs and Currie) it's probably a good thing we'll spread age group a bit and take kids at 8, 30 and 47.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Would have been good to get Bugg, but happy with what has been done.

In: dal santo, pick 8 (McDonald), pick 30, pick 47 and maybe pick 65 or delisted free agent(Mav Weller)
Out: L Delaney

Then delist the 4 uncontracted players Kennedy, sierakowski, mabon and gysberts

Might leave this open for a few more hours for opinions on the trade period and any rumours from scoopy, joey, sickmick, deepwells and my neighbours dog washers cousins girlfriend mate regarding close run things etc.

Meanwhile, Swallow recuperates from tearing his achilles by hiking 11km around Wineglass Bay. ****.

Andrew Swallow ‏@andrewswallow

Got ready for Utah with a 11km hike up and around Wineglass Bay in Tassie. Leg pulled up well #niceview #utahbound

Thats actually a pretty hard treck from memory, especially with a repaired achilles.

I know they were doing upgrades to make it more casual friendly but its still a massive effort by el capitan.

Agree on Siera, probably grabbed an extra year playing ok in the last 2 games. I think Mabon will be kept as ruck insurance, unless the club has a backup ruck in its sights. Wont be surprised if we don't go past 47, leaving Keys, Gys, AK, and LA (rookie) as the outs, and NDS, LMac, 30, 47 as ins.

Reckon Anthony stays on list.

We will use picks 30, 47 and 65.

So Sierakowski > Anthony for selection late in the year but Siera gets the chop? Wouldn't surprise me if they were giving him a chance just to see how he'd go. Still, I'd prefer Siera. Reckon there's a 10-20% chance he 'makes it' whereas I've given up on Anthony.

I know for a fact that we didn't always pick the best 22 this year which would no doubt annoy a few posters on here.

Only for the sake of contract status Dazzler.

Not surprising given word that it is from now on in that we are going to be going hard. Hopefully literally in that the 'we' is the supporters and the 'hard' is, well, hard.

Not too hard a trek, but got a pretty steep climb to start. Should be evidence enough that he has pulled up pretty well I would think.

Wineglass Bay does bring back memories. Walked it about 25 years ago with a mate, to be joined by a Danish backpacker, ending up with the 3 of us squeezed into the tent on the beach at Wineglass. And with a gorgeous blonde Scandanavian with us, we had a fishing boat come ashore and cook up some of their catch. Good times.

Yeah I get that but we have cap room, we should retain the best players possible.

Fair chance we find out the list changes later today.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Yeah I get that but we have cap room, we should retain the best players possible.

If the odds are neither are going to be called up for action, why waste the cash? That could be an extra $150K or whatever that could go towards new equipment or staff, or a front payment to a player coming out of contract in 2014.

 

[GreatBradScott]

Should we have an official Get David Swallow thread?

My hairdresser's mother in law told me he was making half of that up.

Essentially it's Sierakowski vs a 2nd round rookie selection. Also, the difference would be more like 50K I'd say.

Well my alcoholic uncles drive through bottleo attendants mates favourite stripper said that your hairdresser's mother in law was a junkie who would say anything for shits and giggles. Not that I believe a word that comes out of her mouth though. Speaking of which, ping pong balls. Amazing.

Yeah, fair call.

 

[Passmore]

It's supposedly a thin draft so Lmac +picks 30 & 47 will probably do it. Unlikely to be a rookie upgrade I would think

Kennedy, Gysberts Anthony (RL) and Delaney would be my only outs.

 

[Shinboner '07]

were we even still at trade week after we got nicky dal? lol..

 

[abby]

were we even still at trade week after we got nicky dal? lol..

not sure if we even rocked up...

 

[GreatBradScott]

Few delisted free agents we're sniffing around. Maybe pick one up, other than that, content to just go to the draft.

 

[naturally north]

were we even still at trade week after we got nicky dal? lol..

I'd say a big fat NO!

We had a little interest in some bit players, but were only prepared to part with late picks. In saying that had we caught a Bugg or landed a Bruce, we'd have to cut other players.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

but got a pretty steep climb to start

Yeah that was more what I was getting at, steep climb which would put a bit of pressure on the ol' achilles.

I did the Maria Island (I think it was Maria) climb a year or two back with a couple of friends, pretty brutal especially toward the end, got to the very top to be greeted by 2 stunning euro-blondes... seems to be the way most Tassie hiking trips end.

Think I have a pic of myself at the peak of the climb in a north shirt or hat, the view is amazing.

 

[giantroo]

Any chance of picking up Mitch Thorp?
