List Mgmt. Trade and Free Agency Discussion 2018 - Edition IV

Has anyone played Football Manager? They should make a game like that for AFL. No relegation/promotion system but would sure as fuq fill in the time between seasons

I have been looking at it for some time but there are quite a few legal and technical issues to work through.

The first legal problem is the branding, if the AFL do not own it, they will not allow it. Technically, FM, the world game, that is, uses scouts top apportion attributes to players and backroom staff. They do not just scout their own clubs but scout every player in the division their club is in. Scouts here rate draftee possibilities only so difficult to apportion attributes top players and backroom staff. These are just starter issues, the problems lie a lot deeper than that.

Hawks really seem to want Wingard..... if Port continues to press and bends the Hawks over I reckon we will have a strong chance to make a play for Scully......

Hopefully we are waiting to pounce!

scully racks up possessions like libba does lines

Very true, a side affect of those drugs are that it makes you lovey and want to cuddle more.....

No wonder Libba racked up the tackles!

Knot.

Balmey at a function, no trades today

People really think Wingard is that good? 15 and 17 to be is overs. They can package those two up with the Saints or something for pick 4. However, I won't be giving up 17 for Burton unless we get something in return.

Need to do better than that for pick 4.

I was addicted to FM years ago. Surely there would be a market for an AFL game that combines the gameday experience and tactics with trade period list management and salary cap?

 

[brahj]

Burton is the most overrated player in the comp

Tex Walker hasn't retired yet.

Connect in champion data and hey presto you’ve have stats you need

Honestly if Scully has chosen Hawthorn then lets move on and not waste our time. Dont want a bloke at the club that hasnt chosen Richmond FC as his first choice after being told to explore his options.

I would much rather invest the time in someone who plays for the jumper as oppose to the dollar.

If he chose Hawks purely because of money (which we would never know the truth i guess) i say PASS!

 

[WATiger86]

On rucks. A decent AFL tap ruck we already have - Soldo. He's a good/better than VFL ruck already. Why trade for that. And we have a potential A grader in CCJ. SO ruck only makes sense if we get genuine quality. Then what do we do with Nank? Think it through list management wise. A taller midfielder that can pinch hit? A mobile ruck? Not as easy as it sounds

Agreed. Soldo is no worse than most 2nd or 3rd string AFL listed ruck from another side. Would like to see us take a state league ruck with a late pick or rookie spot though.

If we dont bring one in, id expect to see Balta or perhaps Chol play a bit more to give Nank a chop out.

 

[CaptchaProofBot]

bwahahaha...Relton Roberts just got mentioned on Traderadio....

 

[SumTingWong]

Is there anyone on our recruitment list left?

 

[Oprah From Tigerland]

Balmey at a function, no trades today

Balmey: <clears throat> I'd just like to say, thanks very much for inviting me, and if anyone even thinks of touching anything on the catering table, they'll have to deal with me.

 

[M0557]

bwahahaha...Relton Roberts just got mentioned on Traderadio....

Incoming KFC meal deal imminent

and until he officially nominates Hawthorn, we will sit by the tree and be waiting......

 

[Lsta062]

I honestly don't think we'll get anyone else. Don't necessarily think that it is a good thing because midfield and ruck departments will probably end up fairly weak especially in terms of depth, but it is what it is. Try to find something in the draft and then work out game style that suits our new best 22.

so in the event the Hawks cannot get a deal done and Scully nominates us, you would still be a no? I strongly doubt it.....

 

[SumTingWong]

What is holding up the Lloyd trade?

 

[DickieKnee]

I have no doubt we would snap him up if he fits into our salary cap.

 

[Lsta062]

And the Stengle trade too. I thought the Stengle one especially would have been quite straight forward.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Transitioning generally involves some form of downsizing

Of some form yes.
Still call me John holmes compared to MicroDick 71 though.

 

[beema limapep]

I can just see Balmey now .. his arm around Burton giving him a comforting talk lol.

im pretty sure Burton did his rehab pre-draft at Punt Rd Oval. So he should know the place well

 

[Ned_Flanders]

What is holding up the Lloyd trade?

Lloyd is trying out as a kicker for the Denver broncos

Or some of the players in the VFL will step up and become that depth, ever thought of that as a possibility.
