List Mgmt. 2016 Trade and Free Agency Targets Part 1

[Strahany]

If you wanted a player as a FA and he signed with you then I don't think a club would match, considering you've paid a "premium" to get him to switch clubs. And if they do I think you'd just move on.

That makes sense.
With respect to Free agency wages, and the model of 'buying in' to the club, as Bruce has seemingly done by signing for a moderate chunk less than he probably could have demanded; are you aware of how the club and/or playing base views the inevitable hurdle that is a Free Agent getting paid thousands more than their existing teammates, who were sold into signing for less than market value?

 

[Choomah]

850 k over 5 years wouldn't get it done. Unless you are suggesting 850k a year over 5 years? Surely not?

Yep 850k a year for chris Mayne, genuine superstar of the Comp

Players want to win Premierships. Brucey will be getting a very healthy pay packet for next nearly five years.
If we signed a big dollar player that made us a step closer to a flag I don't think any player minds.
I don't think any Geelong players are worried about Dangerfield getting 900K a year.

stavro#4 will spew (and everybody else) but I'd be seriously looking at what it'd cost to get Jack Watts interested. I know he's a whipping boy but he's extremely talented, and in very good form. I think he can be a very high level third defender.
The whispers are he's likely to stay put at this stage though.

Your sick MG,HOWEVER...however I would be willing to watch him week in week out IF he was to play the role Tom Lee is playing right now just like you said. The bloke has a decent peg on him. Also I don't think it would take much for him to leave if the wheels fell off for the Dees. He was closer then people realise to leaving the demons last year

You're coming around to the idea!!!

Really hoping that Lee can make the most of it as a 3rd tall defender. Was a good start on Saturday. Watts wouldn't be the worst as a 3rd tall forward - Membrey seems to have gone off the radar a bit lately.

What do you think we would have to give up for L Weller next year?

 

[Choomah]

My inside sources tell me that the bulldogs are offering Mayne big coin on a 5 year deal

 

[Moorabbin Ghost]

This year? I don't think they'll let him go unless they need picks for a big trade. If I'm being reasonable, a pick around 15 is what he's worth.

 

[freebloke]

Dempster has heart
Watts has a lot of self inflicted doubts

I just don't think Watts will make it so far. Watts played well against a weak Collingwood team, but he still needs to show grit while getting outclassed against better opponents

 

[stavro#4]

Hardly...I'd almost want to try and pry litherland from hawthorn instead. Thats how highly I rate Watts

 

[stavro#4]

If true then we can only hope. He isn't a terrible footballer but I would worry about there capspace

 

[Farm Boy]

Yep 850k a year for chris Mayne, genuine superstar of the Comp

You want to spend 850k a year on a guy who has never kicked over 40 goals in a season?

 

[Choomah]

They need a forward ruckman to back up bontompsmelly

He's the 2nd best forward of the modern era behind buddy franklin

Hope so. Load up Doggies!

Yep we are building up a hard edge and Watts just doesn't have any whiff of that. Would not want him around GF day.

 

[ST_Maaaate]

Get him in the door!

By goodness that is a munted head.

Errr, can someone please post a picture of Lachie Weller so I can sleep easy tonight?

I suspect there is some piss taking going on.

This is absurd if you think that! Thanks for the laughs tonight! You've been awesome! But mayne is not the second best forward of the modern era wouldn't even be top 10!! Would be happy for him to go to the dogs... He likes being in teams that do all the work for him!

Have you watched Mayne at all? Mate this is a bloke that is that is possibly better then Leigh Matthews some of the things I've seen do on the field, future hall of farmer

Ha ha. Choomah is on fire. He's riled a few! Interesting how you chose 'not even Top 10'. Wouldn't be Top 100!

**** that guy is ugly...he looks like one of those after photos from crack whores after 6 months on crystal meth.

The hall of Farmer? Is Troy Schwartz in that?
