List Mgmt. 2016 Trade/FA period is underway! The official thread (Check OP for official updates)

[Kane McGoodwin]

Thats the big ?. Reality is though natanui wont be back to his best for 2 years. When he comes back in 2018 they might play him forward more than ruck. Dont know if theyd have the cap space.

They just spent a chunk on Mitchell

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Zorko, Rich or Mitch Robinson

Surely not Robinson...

 

[Sam_Malone]

that's what I was trying to say. You just say no, don't be stupid. I know he was only young but I think these days 18 years olds are pretty independent. I doubt the story is true.

I'm suggesting its 100% true.

18 year olds maybe independent but when they walk into an AFL club for the first time, they are apprehensive about their ability, they are insecure about their place into the group and just want to fit in. They will do whatever ot takes to be accepted.

When a senior player (any remember Rockliff's character has been questioned many times) asks you to do something, they don't have the courage to say NO. Unless you are a top 10 pick, most are anticipating getting delisted after 2 years. They won't rock the boat.

Footy clubs hide stuff like this all the time. Thats why no one and i mean no one but players are allowed into the players area at a club. Players only.

I am imagining this from Elite Crow Mike Smyth Drugs Are Bad Mackay? 1970crow

Thankyou, that has made my day.

 

[Red mist]

Zorko, maybe?

He'd be my Pick.

 

[Pdub]

Collingwood board floating a rumour Rockliffe made Elliot Yeo drink his own wee as a hazing ritual...

Tricking people into drinking piss is OK and a good prank, forcing them to is not OK.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Surely not Robinson...

That's a strong tip here in Melbourne .....Rich and Beams discounted .....last man standing (bradbury captaincy)

 

[dude316]

I can't think of anyone obvious to captain the lions.

David Mackay?

 

[ad victoriam]

I've seen Gore (on TV) and he's not very impressive

Seen Gore about 18 times live, He has some good and bad games, Mention before they seem to play him in development roles pushing/working on his weakness, He has the goods, at this time lacks consistency.
Do not right him off yet, I would wait until after 2017 to judge him.

I would be very surprised if Robinson becomes captain.

What's wrong with the other 2?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

David Mackay?

In all seriousness, Mackay would be a good pick up for the northern clubs to help set standards off the field.

Don't think he is captaincy material through.

Pity vb didn't have another year in him...

 

[Tex Danger]

Collingwood won a premiership won with the rat pack.

not saying we shouldn't have that group, just you know the angle he will take to try and make it a negative at every chance

 

[Lawrst]

then use our 2017 1st to get back into the 2nd round this year
maybe a deal with the suns for their picks 26 & 30(would love 22 or 24 but that may be a stretch), might have to give a fringe mid to help the deal?

Umm what..

 

[MRB37]

Surely not Robinson...

I think like Eddie, Robinson has matured and settled down quite a bit since having a child.

I chatted with him once before and was kind of surprised cause he was a super nice fella. Might just be one of those sorts of blokes who just turns into a bit of a knob when he's on the piss.

No doubt he has matured but just don't see him as a captain. No issue if he part of the leadership group.

 

[Crouch#44]

Be nice if rockliffs manager & Dmacs manager have a few drinks after work and make a good deal to send rocky to crows and Dmac to lions

Mackay + Lyons or cey.

 

[WetCrow1991]

For those tears after the trade period.

 

[1970crow]

How does Michelangelo Rucci come up with a 50% chance of Hendo signing a contract today? Is there any news?

FA finishes today. Either gets signed or not. 50%.

 

[Apsaalooke]

For those tears after the trade period.

Still overpriced, like Gibbs

Some people do that by choice, no biggie. GAJ runs sermons, I think I'd prefer a bit of the yellow stuff.

 

[dude316]

I think there is a 1/2 chance that Rucci has no idea how probability works.

He's not that stupid, surely?

1/1 ?

 

[1970crow]

I fear we might want to re-think the Lyons for 2nd rounder.
I heard that whilst his manager has spoken to around 6 teams, the actual number of teams that have expressed an interest is closer to zero....

Really weird trade period. I think clubs are shying away from fringe players for 2nd round picks and are instead looking to use picks for top end talent only or to keep picks. Might explain why guys like Ballantyne aren't getting any interest either. In the past some of the lower teams would have grabbed him to bolster their immediate side, but now they are going all in on the draft instead.

The only way for that to get out is for Lyons management to have leaked it. Not exactly a good move when trying to extract the best offer out of an interested club. I would highly doubt this to be the case, unless it's a reporter asking clubs if they're interested in him and accepting all the "no's" that they got in response as being fact.
