Strategy Trade and List Management thread 3 (...The pining for the departed. Edition)

[Super Hans]

IF Lever is available he should be our #1 target, he's almost the perfect defender for Bev's system. He's a gun.

 

[Dry Rot]

Should we be talking to any of these guys?

Finlayson, Austin, Hickey and Aliir really the only ones that stand out to me.

 

[Sharkey66]

Dylan Buckley seemed a likely type , whats been the knock on him?

I think he's a vanilla type, fast but nothing else stands out.

To be honest I'd only take a look at Austin as he could fill a need, but like I've said before I'd love us to go for Allir

Yeah Allir is an excitement machine IMO. Bit of a headless chook with the ball but a great mark and athlete. Not unlike Wood early days.

Is he a headless chook with the ball though? I've found that he seems fairly composed with it (small sample size - but when the pressure was on throughout finals last year).

He seems to choose poor options or execute poorly by foot despite displaying reasonable evasion and maybe looking composed IMO.

And I think Syd have mentioned that this issue is why he is not playing.

Nonetheless I'd take him. Could be nearly as good as Lever for a lot less.

 

[paul scholes]

Austin's one I'd be looking at ( of that lot)
Allir also , Buckley can't kick . As for the rest , meh !

Heatherley, McKenzie, Durdin, Austin and Hickey. Something not right about Aliir. He's a gun and should be playing. Seems odd.

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

The club needs to make a statement this trade period.

If JJ leaves i want 2 guns
If he stays 1

If we don't get anyone then we are showing no ambition and we have no pulling power dispite winning a premiership

McKenzie is a player that 100% needs a change of scenery. If he was dirt-cheap (and I assume he would be a bargain basement pick based on recent history) I wouldn't turn him down.

Would he get delisted? Clearly out of favour. I like his 1 wood but do we need 2 Suckling's?

 

[Pannalstaroz]

Pann, you are thinking salary cap for 2013 numbers.... add like 20%, then do that a few more times.... we want him to say yes!

Haha. I just don't want to over commit to a defender whose first name isn't Alex.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Haha. I just don't want to over commit to a defender whose first name isn't Alex.

Good call; I reckon we could get Alex Silvagni for about a million.

 

[LittleG]

Haha. I just don't want to over commit to a defender whose first name isn't Alex.

Alex Pearce - now there is a hugely talented injury prone player who may want away from Lyon.

One is too many

 

[Golden_6]

I completely forgot about him so just did a bit of research. Worrying signs with soft tissue injuries with a quad, groin and a hamstring in the past 12 months. It's not so much that he's out of favour, he hasn't been able to string more than 3 games together at any level since mid 2015.

We are in talks with Aliir.

 

[Del165892]

Chuck Stringer in there

Clearance buster mids are rare, not every team has one. We won a flag without one, Hawthorn won 4 flags without one etc. Sydney's midfield gets lauded as one of the best in the comp yet none of them have that break away speed.

Fixing up out taller deficiencies and hiring some new coaching and fitness staff imo would give us better direction.

The sooner we develop Stringer into a mid the better. He could be a Dustin Martin level mid but better because he has more pace and can kick goals on the run from 60 out with ease.

 

[Dale4captain]

We are in talks with Aliir.

No, we're not. He's dealing with his off-field right now and isn't talking to anyone. Can take that to the bank.

God no.

He is the very definition of mediocre. Doesn't fit a need at all.

 

[gimp!]

We are in talks with his management.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

Cheers Scrag,he'd be a good get
