List Mgmt. Official 2016 trade period discussion

[Morro]

Salary cap?? We just lost 4 players.

Deledio will only be on 500k at GWS too apparently.

We could have afforded that.

We will have to pony up a pretty large chunk of lids salary at gws but we can afford to. In return they pay slight overs which will be pick 13 or 15. You guys didn't have the same currency otherwise we could have done a similar deal.

Caddy for 24 or 27 or whatever is a massive win for us and therefore makes no sense unless your cap is bursting and in fairness you are flush with inside mids so no great loss for you guys imo

 

[pussygalore]

$$$$$ talks, and he would have gone just about anywhere

Except Richmond

 

[bigblackboz]

How the f*** did you come to that conclusion ?

We've dumped 2m worth of salary. Where did it go?

Freo trade is dragging and they want to keep picks. It's all odd.

 

[evolutionbaby]

If we get pick 24 or 27 surely there has to be a player attached to the deal.
Maybe a Lennon? Don't really want him.

Or most likely picks 24 & 27 with the cats passing back pick 38 or 40 & Caddy.

Either way anything under a R1 pick for Caddy is unders.

Unless we have become a charity, the whole thing seems completely ludicrous.

 

[Munich]

I wanna see the books!

I can't figure these numbers out, it's annoying me

 

[Mr Gurns]

Would you blokes be interested in Barlow at all? With Smedts and Bartel leaving perhaps there's room for an inside mid

It won't be both 24 & 27 involved in the deal - Quayle is reporting Cats want 24 and Tigers are only offering 27.

I agree on where did all the money go, but still not sure how you come up with the Freo link.
Unless we are paying Zac Touhey $2 million bucks a year, I want to know why we couldn't get a decent trade done with all the money available, and on the back of a preliminary final.
It's not only odd, its un Wells like, and it's as poor a trade period as I can ever remember for Geelong

Personally yes but I don't think anyone else would.

No, please God no.

 

[evolutionbaby]

I'd like to see the GWS books. Their cap must be getting tight like the rest of us.

 

[nohairandfair]

Yet Wells was quoted today as saying we had cap issues re. Deledio.

I don't get it..

Perhaps Lids went down to the Cattery for a medical evaluation.

It might just be truthspeak for the testing didn't go well and the risks were deemed unacceptable.

Deledio will only be on 500k at GWS too apparently.

We could have afforded that.

To get a first round draft pick for Deludio, Richmond will be paying a fair chunk of his contract (he's on an estimated 800k).
If GWS are paying 500k, that's a 300k black hole Richmond have to fill.
That's leverage which we simply don't / didn't have to use.

Same thing as Griffen they will trade the other club paying his salary for picks. AFL should cap how much of your player's salaries you can have paid by another club.

 

[Mr Gurns]

No, please God no.

Any reason for that?

 

[Mr Blicavs]

The bottom line is we have no decent draft picks, and we have no one of note coming to the club, while losing great servants like Enright and Bartel.
It does not make any sense whatsoever

 

[Mr Blicavs]

Any reason for that?

He's injury prone, and a third tier midfielder...........there's two

Richmond are paying part of Lids salary at GWS they wouldnt have done that here we couldnt have possible afforded him. Nor do I think we really want to.

 

[Cats Eye]

Why we would trade caddy for pick 27 or 24 is beyond me. The fact that Smedts and Caddy are best/good mates does not bode well for him staying though.

 

[Mr Blicavs]

Same thing as Griffen they will trade the other club paying his salary for picks. AFL should cap how much of your player's salaries you can have paid by another club.

I prefer the old way.....where a contract meant something, and both sides honoured them
I guess I'm a just an old romantic

Front end all our contracts to load up for Fyfe next year?

 

[Munich]

If GWS are paying 500k, that's a 300k black hole Richmond have to fill.
That's leverage which we simply don't / didn't have to use.

We just saved 300k with Bartel retiring.

Plus Boris, Kersten & Vards and now Smedts.

That's at least 1.5mil in savings, minus Tuohy at whatever he's been offered, can't be more than 500k..

We have a spare mil in the kitty, are we going for Fyfe?!

That's the only scenario I'd be happy with right about now.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

She got Thurlow right

Didn't get Guthrie or Lang though.

She is good but no oracle.

All you can really be sure of is Richmond have told her they want to trade 24 for Caddy.

 

[BigCat1]

Caddy and Bartel were also playing similar roles up fwd.

Both gone

 

[CaptainJayho]

I suspect that GWS pay a guy to stand by the office door holding their books directly above a paper shredder 24 hours a day. If at any time AFL staff knock on the door he has to let go of the books to be able to open the door for them, inadvertently shredding all of the evidence...

Allegedly.
