Prediction 2017 Free Agency & Trading - go to the Gibbs thread if you wish to discuss Gibbs!!!

[Bicks]

Govern?

Wash your mouth out!

 

[Vader]

Reckon Gallucci could play Mackay's role, and play it a lot better than Mackay himself can. Has more tricks.

Not today, but in time, I think you may be right.

 

[Bicks]

Would we do Freos first for Gov and McCartin for Freos first?

Saints may be getting nervous about this pick now and if Freos first is around 6-8 then it may be worth taking the loss amd going again.

If McGovern does want home we couldn't get their 1st round pick done quick enough....

 

[Bicks]

Not today, but in time, I think you may be right.

Tomorrow then...

 

[Bicks]

Very surprised he hasn't yet got a game this year. Would be a good one to chase.

Like your suggestion of Bailey Williams, too. His game against the Tigers last week was very good.

And both out of contract at year's end, Williams a Glenelg boy and Webb a Gippy boy so probably no go home factor there especially if moving for more opportunity.

 

[Sanders]

Their job isn't to 'chase players'

This. A thousand times this

If you identify a need, locate a player, do due diligence, decide to pursue him: then you get no points for failing to land him

There was no obligation to make him the target, but once you do: close

The need originally identified that led us to targeting a player to solve that need, also doesn't magically disappear because it got a bit hard

And don't ****ing lie & spin about the guy not being a target who landed in your lap 5 mins before trade period after he reached out to us

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Williams looking good again tonight

 

[Sanders]

I don't think we were anywhere near as serious about him as our resident Collingwood loving troll seems to think. Polec's lack of interest in Adelaide, and Adelaide's lack of trading commodities, both probably had a part in our lack of interest.

Polecs lack of interest in us is another of your after the event figments of imagination

 

[Sanders]

But we have targeted and acquired players
JJ Lynch Hampton Seedsman and Menzel for starters

2 of those get a game in nearly every side

None of those players were regulars in their teams 22

Picking off fringe guys starved of opportunity isn't the same thing

 

[Sanders]

Nah Sanders said NEAFL form is no good and didn't rate him even when Jack was absolutely dominating at that level

Correct. I say that as does every other serious commentator.

I take it you disagree?

......this is the bloke that actually rates Tyrone Vickery.....

Is that meant to be actual argument?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Correct. I say that as does every other serious commentator.

I take it you disagree?



Is that meant to be actual argument?

Just because the NEAFL is sub par vs the sanfl or vfl doesn't mean good players don't play in it

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Picking off fringe guys starved of opportunity isn't the same thing

So what were we talking about again ?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

We're not getting Hopper.

He's out of contract - I wouldn't rule it out . He's country NSW

It would take something special like a 6-7 yr contract but I'd be considering it if we thought he was the man to help make us better

 

[Shaz2012]

If McGovern does want home we couldn't get their 1st round pick done quick enough....

We would just waste it on Gibbs.

 

[Sanders]

Just because the NEAFL is sub par vs the sanfl or vfl doesn't mean good players don't play in it

It does mean the statistical arguments based on neafl #'s are not soundly formed

 

[Sanders]

So what were we talking about again ?

Landing identified quality targets to fill a need, not speculative maybes

 

[earlsta]

Not today, but in time, I think you may be right.

Galluci's coaches at under 18s compared Galluci to Johannisen, similar power and style. Probably not as penetrating by foot.. although that can be developed slightly. An insane leap as well.

 

[spenze]

Given I haven't paid enough attention to all the GWS players, if we lost Gov and given it isn't like for like ( I think) would he ease the pain if he was what we got for losing Gov?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

It does mean the statistical arguments based on neafl #'s are not soundly formed

Agreed and no 2 NEAFL games are the same

Eg a Sydney v GWS NEAFL game where the AFL teams are at full strength is a very good standard with plenty of 1st and 2nd round draft picks whereas a game with a bottom NEAFL side is miles of VFL or SANFL

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Given I haven't paid enough attention to all the GWS players, if we lost Gov and given it isn't like for like ( I think) would he ease the pain if he was what we got for losing Gov?

Still prefer to keep Gov but would ease the pain for sure

 

[WeeBlake]

Gov obviously has a better future ahead of him, but for the next few years, would we be a better side with Gov or Gibbs in the team?

 

[Shaz2012]

Gov obviously has a better future ahead of him, but for the next few years, would we be a better side with Gov or Gibbs in the team?

We would be a better team with Rockliff in it than either Gibbs or Gov.

[Scorpus]

Shouldn't be too hard without a Hartlett, Dixon or Lobbe sucking up cap dollars

 

[marty36]

Burton had another good day today looking good for the rising star, out of contract at year end might be a bidding war with the power
