List Mgmt. 2019 Trade & Free Agency Thread

[Tiberius]

If we take gaff we are desperate. We have young and better gaff in Bailey Scott.

Why not both? It's not like we're stacked with All Australians at present.

 

[the flying ham]

Ah yep so you don’t know

My point

We can only hope/guess that others are picking up the slack on the ground due to a sacked list manager and footy boss operating only behind the scenes

You don't know that he isnt sitting at his laptop, doing work and making calls mate. You are banging on about nothing, just a whinge for whinges sake

If Gaff was available some people seriously wouldn't want him at North? You are all crazy. 27 years old

 

[Thndr]

And exactly my point who is meeting potential players on our behalf

This bloke i reckon .......

Not for pick 7 no. And I think the club should have some pride and build a culture that demands respect. Let's not be the desperados giving players open ended offers anymore (TM TAO).

That means not paying up big for a bloke who flip flopped and prick teased us a year ago when he would've come for free.

Hard pass for me unless he's floating over for pick 25 or later.

What if it isn't for pick 7? Cant blame the guy for choosing to stay on seeing his mates win a premiership.

The cost:benefit is no where near as strong as it was last year by virtue of what we'd need to give up.

Not saying I don't want him just that it's not as attractive.

I am happy for us to bring in whoever makes us better, so long as the deal is sound.

We were paying a premium to get him for free, I’d hope his salary is revised now that we’re paying in trade.

I'm assuming the only way the Eagles would even consider it would be if they could get a pick which they could then use to get Kelly. I'm aware it's probably total BS but if it isn't then I'm all in favour. I'd rather a proven all Australian at age 26 than another potential Dylan Smith or David Trotter at pick 7.

Each to their own mate.

I'll take a punt on us getting the next Bartel, Selwood or Dangerfield with a pick that good.

Also the events of his suspension no doubt played a part.

I’d welcome him with open arms.

 

[DunderHead]

I listened to the Shaw interview, his response to Frost trade was its weird to hear all the names flying about. Frost said yesterday he hadn’t spoken to anyone at North. I don’t think we’re interested.

 

[Event Horizon]

Everyone has missed the obvious point re Gaff. The main reason he didn't come last year, was that he didn't really want to play under Scott. Now that's out of the way, he's happy to walk. Surely that's obvious?

 

[Tiberius]

Does anyone know Gaff's girlfriend's current employment status?

 

[Horace]

Boomer will be our matchday runner.

Great news. Can't wait for the day when Boomer, deep in the forward line, roves a pack, gathers the pill, baulks a couple, slots a goal, then runs back to the boundary line with hands aloft before saying, "Oh wait, I forgot, I'm not playing anymore".

(Yes I know I conveniently forgot that the AFL, in all its stupidity, doesn't allow runners on the ground until there is a stop in play after a goal.)

 

[Groin guru]

Gaff is a no from me too.

Just on principle alone. I want players that want to play for North. We are building a strong culture. Option was there last year as a free agent. Use our first in the draft.

 

[Devington]

Untill we announce a new list manager then I’ll stop

And even then that person will be playing catch-up

Look, I share your concern that we don't have a List Manager, but you don't need to have the job title to do the job. We're out of finals. WC are out of finals. Trade period is an aeon away. Shaw and Rawlings have the go ahead to shape the list how they want/need. Have one big guess as to who is doing the 'list managing' job.

As for Crocker, he's now director of culture. That ties hand in hand with recruiting anyway.

 

[tales129]

The Shaw interview was measured and gave nothing.

That tweet about wood doesn’t actually give the preamble where he said he doesn’t want any of this playing out in the media and isn’t talking about players.

I’ve honestly got it in my head there’s two people working in unison, the tuck shop lady and Heath Scotland.
Tuck shop lady walks in all nice and sweet, if that doesn’t work Scotland jumps out with the big stick.

it's funny bc its true.

 

[Waynesworld]

Damn, you missed the chance to use the here's johnny gif.

This one??

 

[Waynesworld]

Does anyone know Gaff's girlfriend's current employment status?

I did hear a rumor from a work colleague's partner's mate's missus who works with someone who has a friend in Perth who said they'd seen her in the City yesterday, but didn't know about her work status.

Read into that what you will.

 

[ferball]

I don't mind Gaff playing for us but I dunno if we should give up pick 7.

I get why he stayed but if he wants to come now we need it on our terms as much as possible. He fills an immediate need. I was unsure of his use/skill level but at 4 in the comp for disposals and 7 for effective ones he must using it reasonably well.

 

[benbanjo]

What are you talking about? Gaff was tagged by Blicavs and still got 30 possessions and 2 goals in a losing team.

I felt his disposal, especially his kicking was poor, defensive efforts were also below standard.
