List Mgmt. Trade & F/A - 2018/2019 - Part 2!

[FAIRANDBALANCED]

Why?

Did you know Shazza would do another ACL?

Haha, how did I know you would chime in? It's pretty clear isn't it? I think Langdon is a considerably better player and defender than Scharenberg. As I've said a million times, Scharenberg will need to be a key defender because he is not athletic or fast enough to play on smalls or medium sized. That's my opinion.

Anyone else's head explode after reading that Tweet?

100% staying
Not likely to stay
He is staying

What a bloody rollercoaster

Depends on how you read it. I saw it as ‘not just likely to stay, but 100% will stay’.

Grammar usually sucks on Twitter, so easily misread!

We get it you think Langdon is a gun but its interesting to me anyway what the Club thinks.

Ned Guy wont be getting sucked in by bigfooty posters rating of Tom.

If Scott Lucas or Tom L are not happy with OUR Clubs offer then they know what to do.

How about Adam Simpson and Nathan Buckley's rating of him? You can't even concede now that Langdon is a very good player? Does it actually annoy you that he played that well?

Ned Guy has no history for us to work with. Could be a complete flop. Hasn't really done anything good so far, so there should be far more question marks on him than on Langdon. I mean didn't he resign Reid mid year? What kind of decision is that?

You went on a tangent again and made it about me.

He stays he stays.....he doesn't he doesn't.

I follow the jumper mate first and foremost.

It’s poorly written.

It was said like this:

100% staying. Not “likely to stay”. He IS staying.

Or instead maybe you can just acknowledge you were wrong about Langdon and he is a good player and then we can call a truce? If you truly supported the jumper you would have supported Langdon a lot more while he was wearing it.

The manager of Appleby and Murphy is currently on Trade Radio but hasn't mentioned anything about a contract for Appleby.

I don't think he has the height to be a key defender. I sort of agree about Langdon. Anyone who produces top football in finals is worth keeping.

Are not initial contracts 2 years ?

 

[unplugged]

I have a sneaking suspicion that’s stuff clubs sell to their supporters.

Sure players take a cut but in reality how much is the cut? $10k $20k or so, maybe $30k pa.

No way they taking mega hits.
You think players are saying to their wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, “hey honey I’m dropping my salary by $100k”
That will go down well, not!

Managers won’t cop huge whacks, no way.

That’s my take anyway.

Supporters lap that stuff up, does not make it so.

(All my view ofcourse)

I think it's more of a "the club is offering me another year, but it's on 200k less than my current remaining years" and the wives/girlfriends/boyfriends thinking 'you'll be getting to the end of your career and there's nothing to say you'll be even best 22 then' and taking it.

Reality is that a 400-600k contract - as opposed to say 700-800k, is still an incredible wage when in comparison to what their spouse is probably earning working a 9-5 or for looking pretty.

I've got it on but only half listening. Has he been asked directly about Appleby?

Rookies are given one year deals. Senior draftees are two years.

You're going off topic and getting offended over nothing.

P.S Find my quote about Langdon that was wrong and has offended you so much when you get a chance.
PM me the post please so we don't pollute this thread.

Yep, was asked "you must be impressed with Appleby and Murphy?"

Just talked about how impressive Appleby was before his hammy injury.

Well the trade period hasn't really started and this is technically the first year he's in charge of the list. He resigned JDG with rival 'godfather' offers and Moore too now as well. We've constantly been linked to Lynch and May all year. I'm sure he's got something up his sleeve. Wait till next week!

With Reid, he only got resigned on a 1 year deal. Considering our KPP stocks and injuries at the moment, was a priority signature.

 

[BringouttheGimp]

I would urge anyone.. if you plan on celebrating the signing of Moore by purchasing a bottle of La Nuit De L'Homme.. there are different versions of the shit.. EU de toilette.. l'intense.. and parfum..

Go with the original and the best..
EU de toilette re. I know.. I will.

Glad to help.

Greenwood poised to sign a new contract it seems.

I would expect it'd be either shorter term or less money what he came across on. Has been a handy player for us, sure, but it's generally well accepted that the money to poach someone is more than their typical value.

 

[jackcass]

There was an article in The Age earlier this year (I am trying to locate it on-line) concerned about how Richmond's top 5-6 players take up a large percentage of their salary cap and if they were to land Lynch it would push them near -40% of their salary cap (They were surmising on players contracts) with 40 players making up the remaining 60-65%. They indicated that if Lynch did come on board there would be a group of players making way

Makes sense, if you have a large number of players sharing that residual 60-65% then you need to delist more to free up the cash needed. Conversely though, they still need to maintain a list of 44 players and there's less gain in replacing a listed player with a draftee.

 

[jackcass]

Confident Langdon will stay, just needs to be shown some love form the club. Crazy to think he has played pretty much every senior game when fit and we still signed up people like Varcoe and Ben Reid before him.

I know Ive had the argument around here a million times and a lot disagree, but the sensible list management decision would have been to lock in Langdon well before Scharenberg too.

I'm not overly fussed about the timing of offers but it appears from Lucas's comments that Ned hasn't been having the "we love your player and we want to sign him but we just don't know how much freedom we've got in the TPP at this stage" conversation with his manager which surprises me. It's not that hard to maintain open dialogue. Unless of course they weren't committed to retaining him.

 

[kallangur pie]

I think Appleby will be offered a contract he showed more than enough in his 10 or 12 games to suggest he has a future.

He was very good defensively last season for us before his hammy,marks his man tightly and good 1 on 1,keep.

 

[jackcass]

Shows that Paige just not a Crap source as some people make her sound out

Even a broken clock can be right twice a day.

 

[Buckleys_Chance]

I'd love him at the pies just can't see how we can get it done WHE and Trealor have been talking to him apparently

Surely this year's and next first rounders would get it done. Unless we pick up something for Langdon we could ontrade...
