List Mgmt. Official 2016 trade period discussion

[CatTricks]

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

Yep. Can't see us having another sustained period of success using the current approach

 

[Mr Blicavs]

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

Dangerfield Selwood and Fyfe in the same midfield?
Too good to be true

 

[Cronin]

So far this trade period has been a mind**** and I'm going to come back tomorrow after 2pm when I'm sure it will all make sense

Same.......I'm hoping Wells is trolling the f*** out of us






I'm not confident

 

[Jeff76]

Trading out 3 first rounders in 3 years will be a disaster, 2E deal could've been done without a first round pick surely?

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

If they are going to trade caddy for pick 27 or theirabouts then why the **** didn't they just do the Delideo swap in the first place? I'd rather lids than a second rounder.

 

[Inferno]

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

If he was on the cheap maybe. Can't say he's ever jumped out as a player I'd like to have on the list though..

No one knows wtf is happening.

We lose Enright, Bartel, Kersten, Vardy, Clark, Caddy, Smedts and maybe Loners. All top 30 players.

Draw I'm not fussed on b/c we played Adel, GWS, and WB twice last year as it worked out.

He have no depth anymore and are a key inj away from missing the 8. As it was we were one game off 7th or one shot on the siren away from a straight sets exit.

Mate, so negative!

Firstly - Vardy, Clark & Smedts = Zero

Kersten was ordinary in my opinion and I wouldn't have played him either way in the Prelim. I think we have better players on our list instead of him too.

Enright - huge loss. No arguments there but at least he is assisting on the coaching side. Will be hard to replace.

Bartel - I'm a huge fan. Legend of the game.
I hope we also get him in some assistant role at the club. Big loss as well.

Lonergan - Sounds like he is staying on.

Caddy - Has been a great player at our club. I'm still skeptical of it happening but if it does I think we'll be alright with our midfield depth.

On a personal note I'm happy Motlop is still at our club. Yes, super inconsistent this year but no denying he has natural talent that can win games. Hopefully for him and our club 2017 is a huge year for him.

 

[Mr Gurns]

Barlow and 61 for Kersten surely

 

[Mr Blicavs]

Caddy and Bartel were also playing similar roles up fwd.

Both gone

If Caddy wants to go just so he can be a big fish in a little pond at Richmond......let him go.
Only serves to confirm my opinion of him

 

[pussygalore]

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.

I want Dusty!

 

[Mr Blicavs]

Barlow and 61 for Kersten surely

That's a good trade........what do you know ?

 

[Mr Gurns]

That's a good trade........what do you know ?

Both parties would be happy with that I think. Unfortunately haven't heard anything on that front

 

[evolutionbaby]

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.

Then again they are bank rolled by the AFL which probably explains everything. In their lust to see them succeed the rules are slackened.

 

[Seeds]

If this deal is agreed to then why wasn't it done? Seems a bit odd. Are we waiting for the outcome of another trade first to ensure we have the cap space?

 

[pussygalore]

Barlow and 61 for Kersten surely

I'd roll the dice on that.

 

[Mr Blicavs]

Have you actually digested the 2E trade?
Don't include smedts in it as he is worth peanuts..
Blues will be bottom 4, prob bottom 2 when they lose Gibbs, we will be top 6. Therefore 2E trade works out to around pick 40!

So we are going backwards?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

So what have I missed over the last 30 odd pages?

Tuohy deal done:
Geelong give 2017 1st round (prob pick 15 ish) and Smedts for Tuohy and Carl 2017 2nd rnd (prob pick 25ish)

Deledio reportedly going to GWS GWS will trade a 1st rounder, Richmond to pay a large part of his salary.
Richmond want to trade pick 24 for Caddy, Geelong are likely to want more.

 

[juzcat]

Just catching up on news and please tell me we have not given a round 1 pick and Smedts(also a round 1) for 2e. Have the cats gone mad!

Id be more happy with Fyfe for Kersten and a couple of draft picks

 

[STP18]

With all our outs and limited ins how are we struggling to pay enough to keep Longergan happy? Feels like there's something fishy going on.

 

[Seeds]

It is absolutely not the same thing. Lang hardly played a game and was dropped each time he did.
Ruggles was on a steep learning curve in his first season of seniors and played most of the season.
I didn't agree when Ruggles was dropped he had a couple of bad moments in the Hawthorn game but
had been excellent before that. I assumed he was carrying an injury.
You have to look at the season overall,comparing a change in one game and saying that covers my
earlier comment is silly.
There is a thing called logic and it should be used in any discussion.

The whole logic is silly. Ruggles is a plodder with little talent but works hard and filled a gap. Lang has weaknesses he needs fixing but has some serious talent in certain areas and plays a position we have a lot of talent in. If he can work on his weaknesses he will be a level or two or three above ruggles.

Domsy isn't happy?

 

[Wojo]

From the outside looking in I'm done.
We have officially lost the plot, from my point of view the back half of this year we were a 5-8 side, and on the slide.
Overpaying for everything we get (danger excluded), lack of development, terrible at the draft for last decade, inability to build on anything since 2012 and slowly wasting away till Scott and wells try and throw a Hail Mary in an attempt to buy a premiership. Makes me throw up.
If anyone out there can tell me buying a premiership and throwing away the future is as satisfying as build a density a la 2004-2011 is just lying and kidding themselves.
I thought you were better than that Geelong.
Just one year before our last flag Footscray were in 3 consecutive prelims, bottomed out, have a gun young list and a flag.
Pathetic pathetic pathetic.
For all those saying a downgraded pick is not a big deal, look at the quality difference over history of 10-20 compared to 20-30.
Scott is useless, wells best work has been blitz in the last decade (guthries dad anyway) and we are now a soft corporate club. The Arsenal of the AFL.
Scott isn't half the coach or teacher bomber was, our assistants are stale and wells would overpay at a 2$ shop and couldn't pick an apple off an apple tree.
The team is average, riding on the back of danger-wood.
Completely disfuntional forward line, dismal slow ball movement, with an inability to stop teams scoring quickly, st kilda, Carlton, Collingwood, even had massive periods of dominance against us this year and beat us because of it.
Lapses in effort, b grade performers, and a complete unknown of what type of side will turn up from week to week.
To many players just don't turn up, soft, soft, soft.
Sydney first quarter prelim was just pathetic, and the club thinks we are close?

Danger was a mistake, I'm saying it, great player but has put the club back 5-10 years as a consequence ala Judd. One man teams don't win premierships, hanging a hope on one player is just ridiculous. If he doesn't come the club after finishing 10th, might have really seen where they are at...below average and nothing coming through.

"Oh but we were one win away from a gf" some say, well if anyone seriously thinks we could have beating GWS, Footscray or the swans in the form they were in should be in a asylum, say hello to wells and Scott for me, I'm sure their eating their own feces or throwing it at each other.

I'm done Geelong, I hope you do well, let me know when you pull your finger out of your ass and take a good look in the mirror, I'll buy a membership again then.

Until then....

Will you come back as Porky in your next incarnation Bobby Boucher?
