List Mgmt. 2018 Trade/Draft/FA SuperMegaUltra Thread - The Early Edition

Gary Rohan for not much anyone?
Yes he's injury prone but I like what he has to offer as a player.

If we're looking at challenging now and he's not too expensive i think he's well and truly worth it as a borderline 22 player and option for the HFF.

 

[pantskyle]

is there more to it than the incident? Or just second year blues?

Not sure, from what I've been told from a very good SA source is if we asked Port might agree.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Hayden Ballantyne officially signed on for 2019.

I can't believe he's not playing for Baldivis next year, I mean, Blaine Johnson is an actual footballer and everything.

 

[West World]

nor should we. That's overpaying for Gaff

We should definitely match and force a trade scenario.

North is offering $350k more pa thats two fringe players salaries.

If Gaff elects to move it more than just for money. I would bwt a body part if we matched he would still want to go.

Hit up Norths for their first and a ruck either Goldie, Pruess or even Daw.

No way will Norths let a gun like Gaff off the hook after being rejected by ao many others.

If Goldie doesnt want to go West he goes to Geelong and helps us land Kelly.

I am sure we will manage this very well - look at last draft we did over GC beautifully

 

[The Falcon Strike]

We should give Gaff permission to make his mind up - and that includes if he wants to chat to other clubs.

The negligible benefit of having him around the club now, is more than offset by the potential benefit of knowing in advance our list management strategy

If he is leaving, we will know the salary - then that allows us to either work out how we match or how we replace him in the squad.

Much better alternative than finding out in a couple of months and we're caught with our pants down

We did, but the other clubs might be onto us now. I hope Rawlings still has another ace up his sleeve! Last year was an absolute masterstroke.

 

[West World]

surely they aren't ready to get rid of SPP.

To get quality you need to give something up.

Port demanding a first from Norths for Polac so Lycett easily worth the same.

So a first or SPP.

Given our window we would prefer a plug and play option.

Pretty sure we wont we caught with our pants down.

Just look at all the tire kicking we are doing to find another ruck.

Multiple pople are paid full time to manage this.

 

[Biggie]

Whoa did you just cancel your account over this? Extreme.

Always seemed a defensive type did FL.

Now he is Currently Lurking again.

 

[bl4ke]

I know he's contracted, but I wouldn't mind Declan Mountford being included as steak knives in a possible Gaff trade with North

He's actually OOC end of this year. Is very gettable for WA sides. Has been injured most of the year but named in the squad the last three weeks after one VFL match on return. To be honest nobody on our forum really knows what is happening with him.

 

[Suma Magic]

Surely North's offer would be too big to match.

 

[avishka5]

Isn’t Mounford the bloke that North played as a tagger in the VFL and then at AFL? Kids basically going to be behinds heaps of our kids if that’s the case. He’ll probably end up replacing parto.


I don’t mind that Zurhar kid.

 

[The Black Fox]

Surely North's offer would be too big to match.

Hopefully Polec agrees to go there first and takes some potential Gaff money off the table.

 

[Keys]

If gaff decides to go to North it'll be because they put an offer on the table we can't get close to, so talk of matching is just that - talk

We'll put our best possible offer to him after going through with his manager what needs to be done to keep him and if it isn't enough then first band compo it'll be

The flip side of us doing unexpectedly well this season and reaming Gold Coast is we get shafted on FA compo should Gaff and/or Lycett leave

 

[Candiru]

The offer for Lycett could be matched though, right? Or if it's Band 2, we'd probably suck it up?

I'm hoping that we get band 2 for Lycett. Which is a pretty good outcome.

 

[Keys]

Yeah we'd probably be able to match for Lycett to force a trade as his decision is likely more to do with opportunity and less about money

 

[HoneyBadger35]

How the **** are you people still talking about Eagles free agency when poor Blaine Johnson has just had his heart broken in front of a national audience.

Typical Eagles arrogance.

I think if gaff goes he will be doing so because he wants to go home so he will be choosing a team based on both money and the best fit
If it was just money why havent we heard about non vic clubs interest in him
Personally i think he's gone.hope im wrong but players from interstate will always have some sort of pull to go home.

It's pretty cheeky for him to leave for "opportunity". He'd have had a shitload of opportunity last season had he not got injured. He's got a shitload of opportunity this season. And he'll have a shitload of opportunity next season. So he's going to leave because he might have to share the load with Naitanui in 2020? It's not like Naitanui is going to be playing big minutes. There is ample room for both of them. If Lycett becomes a top-liner, we're not going to be leaving him on the bench for half the game.

I'm hoping that we get band 2 for Lycett. Which is a pretty good outcome.

Ordinarily, sure. The splashback is we'll be without a ruckman in 2019.

 

[squashface]

Someone needs to go back and catalogue all of the calls that hungrytiger preaches as fact but has got completely and blatantly wrong.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Not at all worried about losing Lycett. Sort Gaff out as a priority.

Who rucks next year?
