List Mgmt. 2019 Draft/Trade/FA Thread - Final Wrap

Does say that King is putting off talks of a extension of next year.
The two South Australian clubs were eager last year to trade for picks to potentially claim one of the two highly talented players and indications were they would be chasing both players when they were out of contract.
Lukosius, who is contracted to the end of next season, has not yet re-signed. Nor has key-position player Ben King, whose twin brother Max was drafted by St Kilda.

The Age understands King would prefer to wait until next year to start talking about a possible extension.

Club heavily into young Langdon and other kid from Fremantle who are very tight with Weller who is great at selling the Club to lads who love a surf.
Martin almost certainly gone. Club are interested in doing trade with Fremantle Martin undecided Melbourne or back to WA.
Rankine is an awesome kid. Very mature and team orientated.

Makes sense for both us and Freo.

Martin replaces what they hoped from Bennell at Freo.

We get more mature bodies in the right age bracket through the midfield/half back with Langdon & Blakely.

Just need Martin to choose Freo... and the Freo guys to choose us...

I think that's him. Weller is a fantastic ambassador for the Club and he's very well connected with some very good young players.
He's well worth pick 2 for the Club.
yep I was thinking that only on the weekend I reckon we will be happy with that deal long term, wheels are falling off at Freo too

Think the other players we have been linked to from Freo is Blakely.

I hope we are also looking at young Darcy Tucker who is also out of contract at Freo

P.s. That Rankine news is so massive.
I was always worried about this kid with the AFL draft media speculating he would leave at the first chance.
Kudos to our new player development team getting things right.

Before the draft he was the player I was worried would get home sick but he is the most independent and open minded of the 3 players that we drafted.

Goes to show you can't judge a book by its a cover.
 
The moment Izak stayed on GC during the bye and hung out with friends here I knew he was staying. He's clearly settled in extremely well.
Agreed. If you missed home that much or wanted to leave, you'd go home during that time. he clearly didn't.

he was the one who was most overtly vocal about staying and rolling his sleeves up for the long haul

hhhhhmmmmm Adelaide with pick 2 draft the perfect replacement for Hugh Greenwood.

Noah Anderson.


If you guys look to have a good trade period before the draft, I can see the AFL holding off on the beginning of first round PP.


They can always site Brisbane as the precedent, and give you an end of first round PP. Will help you with trades, especially looking at your current pick situation this year.

We traded ours out, the net result was pick 12 the following year, which we then traded for Charlie Cameron.

Great work eppo. Not trying to be a downer but do you know if they are wanting to come for the right reasons? It's great they want to surf with Weller but i hope they are also prepared to be a big part of our team. This old article just worries me a little bit https://thewest.com.au/sport/afl/fr...opped-after-impromptu-surf-trip-ng-b88523842z

Hopefully they are as otherwise our options for experienced players will probably be limited to the GHS's of the world.

Great news Rankine extending. Good to see! Hopefully it gets the ball rolling and some others follow suit.
