2015 Trade/FA Discussion (cont. in Pt.2)

[Bucking Beads]

Whats happening with Curry from North Melbourne?

Edit Currie

He is off to the Suns but they haven't worked out a deal yet.

 

[Sherrinator]

We now have 2, 17, 21, 39 and 42 with 3 picks later (which one will probably be used on Jansen). What happens if one of Hipwood or Keayes slides and we can pick up another decent youngster such as Oli Clayton with 21. Then use 24 or 26 from Aish for the other deals that need to get done on Bell. I feel like giving up 17 so we can get 32 to get Bell is just a bit silly. Surely if we can turn Aish into Astbury and Bell then its not so bad and manage to keep 17 and 21

I have seen no real indication we will trade Aish.

Cheap shot champ. No funnily enough i haven't run a footy club but i do run staff it doesn't matter your point is redundant because business is business the same rules apply whether you are selling cakes or running footy clubs, manage your staff well it's an area where we as a club need to improve.

I think this whole "manage the staff" thing gets thrown around a little too much sometimes. Such a generalised comment that actually has no specific substance. Not saying you are entirely wrong, but geez there are much bigger issues surrounding player retention I would think, Like QLD talent % (acdaemies starting to kick in will help), AFL 2 year rookie contracts give the entitled next gen an easy out to the bright lights of footy states or home, lack of QLD appeal, forgotton by the AFL generally, and poor facilities and coaches...throw in using a piss poor NEAFL to develop rookies

Gorringe is crap... Lions have been talking to Jamar. could be a smokey gap filler like Hudson was

He might be crap, but he does fill that tricky "name that rhymes with orange" niche...

We could look at picking up Grimley as was a rumoured possibilty a while back. Costs nothing and adds depth and the 2nd ruck/forward option if Martin went down and West was main ruck.

We will trade Aish, may not be to Collingwood though since he isnt high on the priority list.

 

[jackess]

We need another ready to go ruckman on the senior list. West and Stef won't be enough.

I'd be seriously considering upgrading Archie and then only rookie listing Chol.

Astbury & Bastinac are heading up to Brisbane for a look. Walker and Jansen to be traded in from Cats for a future r3 pick. @RealFooty1

 

[bato]

Oh baby!

 

[carnthemlions]

The good ones.

Which ones would they be? Let's look at the ruck situations of some recently successful clubs... Freo- nope. Sydney- definitely not. Hawthorn- nope. North- nope. Adelaide- nope. Richmond- nope. Geelong-lol. WB-. WC- they just traded Sinclair. Port- you could point to them as an example if Lobbe doesn't play much next season. Better luck next time.

Between him and Lewis Melican, the AFL is improving the prospects for limerick writers across the nation.

 

[Balony_pony16]

Just came back from Thailand, saw some smokey gap fillers. Wouldnt think any of them were tall enough to play in the ruck though

Thailand hey...bet you were filling some gaps over there... #WayOffTopic #CouldntHelpIt

 

[Toffee Lion]

I hope they brought their swimmers.

Not sure how to embed tweets so copy pasted. Good deal re Walker and Jansen I think - need the points next year and only if we have the spoon will our third rounder be better.

Nothing suggests Archie is ready. He may not survive the next round of cuts.

Yep...Grimley would be worth a crack. Don't mind him. Anyone but Gorringe

Hope everyone's got the mops out for the tour of the facilities.

There you go. I didn't even know you could trade a future round 3 pick.

Better keep Astinacbury away from the changerooms. Either that or give them each a pair of floaties.

 

[Hirsty23]

Walker and Jansen for a future 3rd rounder
Awesome deal for us, low risk and adds 2 mature bodies to our list!

 

[Balony_pony16]

interesting... if we deal up 2nd round picks for Astbury I'll rage. he is worth what berger got

 

[Bucking Beads]

I thought Jake Fitzpatrick from the Dees was worth a look. Apparently the Hawks are into him.

Walker and Jansen for a future 3rd is a great deal. Could gain some handy players potentially for bugger all sacrifice.

No just looking, just looking. Was with the wife.

The Hanley's future is now secure.
