List Mgmt. 2016 Trade & Free Agency Discussion Thread [v. 1.0]

[Heaps of fun]

Vickery, Rohan and Taylor
Been saying for a few years that Watts would do well in a good team. Good FA option is much better than trading for a spud.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Can't believe I compared Josh Green to the great man Lindsay Thomas. That will be to my eternal shame.

 

[Harris 10]

Can't see the the attraction with Rohan, 70 games in 7 seasons to me suggests we look elsewhere.

 

[Viper2Jester]

We're talking about Vickery and Rohan?

Good grief

 

[Kimbo]

We're talking about Vickery and Rohan?

Good grief

Yeah. Was better when it was Cunnington or Rohan.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

I'd rather Green than Rohan.

When has Rohan kicked 30+ goals in a season?

In any year he has never averaged over 12 possessions per game. If we were getting him for a 3rd or 4th rounder then maybe.

 

[muttley45]

If we happened to get Rohan, he would be put on the Shaun Atley career path of becoming a semi anonymous half back flanker with pace.

 

[Sheezel2Wardlaw]

Rohan has more talent in his little toe than Green.

Rohan needs a new club, a fresh start, confidence and feel healthy and fit. ie Waite/Higgins.

 

[Nutjob]

No to Rohan. We have enough players that only get 10 touches a game.

Speed is about his only talent.

That doesn't translate into being a good footballer.

Green has already proven he can be a more than capable footballer in a shit house side. Rohan with champions around him may have talent but he has proven in 7 years that he isn't really a footballer. I said the exact same thing when he was drafted.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Rohan struggled to find the pill at U/18 level and was drafted primarily on athleticism. Great physical package but aint a footballers arseh*le.

And to think he was in the conversation for pick 5.

 

[King Corey]

Rohan is a strong mark. Not sure that assists him in finding the pill though.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Rohan plays 1-2 good games a season. Average at best.

 

[HBFlanker]

A big name trade will pop up. I think it might be Rockliff but im not interested.

From our point of view, obviously Hansen could go, Atley? Dumont? need to keep both.

Its hard to pinpoint our position as we need to have difficult conversations with elder players. Petrie and Firrito go this year.

 

[TruRoos7]

Lols at suggesting we let LT go and trade in rohan to take his place.
LT whilst he has had some issues has won us games this year when our piss poor triple towers did jack shit.
LT is a victim of the media and if you noticed in the last game he was less looking for frees and more focused.

Nobody actually suggested that did they?

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Rohan is Kieran Harper in a Swans jumper.

Michael Hurley will be offered a contract extension that will secure his long term future at the Club.

The 26 year-old has been in regular discussion with the Club before he headed overseas for a holiday with teammates Michael Hibberd, Cale Hooker and Tom Bellchambers.

Hooker and Bellchambers have recommitted to the Club for next season, as has Dyson Heppell, David Myers, Trav Colyer and Heath Hocking.

Chief Executive Officer, Xavier Campbell, remains confident the talented defender will remain at the Bombers.

“Michael is a great young man with tremendous football talent,” said Campbell

“He’s highly respected in the club and is a leader within the playing group.

“We want him to come to the conclusion he wants to be at Essendon and I hope and believe he will come to that conclusion.

“We respect that Michael is going through a process and we will give him the time and space he needs to make that decision.

“He has a year to run on his contract and we have been speaking to Michael and his management for some time about a long term contract extension which we believe illustrates the value he brings to our club.”

Originally recruited as a forward, Hurley has become an integral part of the Bombers’ back six since making the move to a defender.

His efforts were recognized in 2015, collecting his first All-Australian selection and finishing runner-up in the Crichton Medal.

This is one of the strangest press releases I've read,
To me this says * are losing the battle and they're trying to make Hurley the bad guy if he leaves.

Clubs never and shouldn't ever release information on contract negotiations.

It's poor form in my book.

Tom Mitchell

who?

Tom Mitchell

Decent player but really? That's who they were pumping up?

For a show with 2x BFNAAKs on it they sure produce some tripe.
