List Mgmt. 2017 - Trading and Free Agency

[Sweetback]

I'd be happy with Alir. Dude was carving it up this time last year.

 

[meima]

I think he is easily worth pick 40. Attacking tall defenders don't grow on trees.

I rather start with a fourth rd negotiation before moving up to 3rd round .

Giving up 3rd straight up limited your chance of package up pick 5 + pick 40 to other possibility . All this is just scenario until the official list of delist and retirement come up Allir Allir is a possibility target but not a must .

 

[Superkoops]

I am amazed that people are not rating Aliir. They must have watched different games to me last year. Maybe it's the natural aversion people have to commentator wank, which was admittedly over the top, but if you ignore that he looked very very good last year for a 22 year old KPD. This year was a down year (if you can even extrapolate any conclusions out of 3 games or whatever it was) after missing the pre-season but he'd be a great get imo

I respect people's opinion but I don't really rate him and I've seen him last year and quite a bit this year. He is ok and was much better last year.

He does have that David Mundy or Chris Gayle laconic feel about him, so maybe I'm judging him harshly.

He is quite athletic and I wouldn't be averse to him coming across as a late pick or DFA. Pick 40; no thanks way too early for Aliir, especially after his form in 2017.

I think Aliir and APearce are comparable and with that said - based on what I've seen from both of them at AFL level I would have Aliir as the better player right now. They don't have a big block of games individually (16 plays 21) although Aliir has him well covered in all the key stats as a defender.

Delusional if you think he's average + isn't worth a best case scenario 3rd Rounder / worst case future 2nd rounder.

How has he gone in the NEAFL? I was under the impression he was struggling with a PCL on and off for a fair bit of the season.

He was brilliant towards the end of last year IMO.

 

[ydraw]

I think you meant to say" doesn't want to move away from WA"

Nah it's more than that. He has a business interest which requires him to remain in WA. If it was a choice between moving and retiring he would choose to retire.

 

[ydraw]

He means he plays as a small leading forward, rather than a small forward who relies on crumbing the ball and getting front and centre.

Probably use someone good as a comparison rather than Kersten then ^_^

More like Phil Matera

 

[ydraw]

I don't think we're disagreeing with each other but it's as you say. He can't get in the seniors in the Sydney side

Half our team wouldn't make Sydney seniors, they are the best side in the comp.

 

[purplerunsdeep]

Wilson and Matera this off season would be a B+ to me

Have a look at both their instagram accounts. Wilson is one of Bennells 4 best mates he calls his 'brothers'.

Wilsons missus is definitely up the duff to.

Understand that that's the number one reason for him being open to a trade back home as she wants to be close to the extended family.

 

[scon]

Didn't want the kid subjected to the GWS ethos.

 

[Taylor]

It's because having a baby with an AFL player is a solo job. He sleeps, recovers, trains, recovers, plays, recovers, says hi to the wife, and then goes to sleep.

 

[Carnthedockers]

Sliding doors with Damo seems very confident Wilson is heading our way

Good thing our recruiters don't listen to some of the *******s on here who don't want him.

Tayl0r - Yep you are spot on. Andrew had two daughters during his career. As you said and with the case of Andrew it was: trains, recovers, plays, recovers, trains, plays etc etc etc.

Then there is the family time in between the downtime and training/game day.

Family time (including speaking to me his number one cousin) was and still is important to Andrew.

Maybe need to wait for a year like Cam Mac , the last time Damo leak it somebody coming to freo need to wait for a year .

 

[Taylor]

Oh there is family time, but he can't be a full time dad. He has to sleep at night, he has to look after his body and she looks after his babies

Who's your cousin mate?

 

[Superkoops]

Played 10 games and the best players three times. He is on the bench for the GF.

I've seen him three times and he has been ok. Played some time in the ruck and usual half back. Could have got more involved at times but did take some good intercept marks.

Look he is ok and I wouldn't oppose him on the list but he would be depth in my opinion and comparable to Sam Collins. In saying that Aliir's games with Sydney AFL side he showed much more than Collins has for Freo AFL side. So maybe Collins out and Aliir in.

Again just my opinion but I'm a huge fan of Alex Pearce. He will take a while to come back after his leg issues but worth the wait. I get the impression the coaching staff are also big fans. Watching him play he has those go go gadget arms to spoil at just the right time.

Again I agree and with Andrew's case....footy came first and his partner looked after the daughters

 

[PerthBoy87]

Who's your cousin mate?

Ive said it a few times but i will say it again which is all good - my cousin is Andrew Krakouer

Ah sorry mate, haven't been paying much attention, eyes on the game cheering your tigers on.
