List Mgmt. 2019 Draft and Trade Hypotheticals Thread - Part II

[caesar88]

alright caesar88 who will get at 5
Get some excitement goinf

1. Brodie Kemp - Big bodied mid but most importantly silky and smooth and clean in traffic. Obvious ACL risk + his size meaning Horse will decide he should be a defender.

2. Caleb Serong - Smaller mid but plays like a bulldog, cracks in and gets it, twists and turns away from traffic. Downside is his dogged attack mean his execution isn't always amazing.

3. Hayden Young - Marketed as a half back flanker with a lethal left foot, but IMO his size and strength means he'd be ideal in the midfield and I rate him more when he's in there. Downside is beware of the flankers!!!

Tom Green also but he's a GWS boy so can't see how we get him.

Anyone else and I honestly reckon we've fluffed it, otherwise we might as well've given up 5 for Daniher.

Hope papley doesnt pull a cam mcarthy

 

[Dan87]

It's been a long journey for some of us if you feel the need to melt, go for it, you deserve it.

 

[The King!]

It is about now that I would like to remind you of what happened at Port Adelaide in 2017, everyone labelled them the trade winners when they brought in Rockliff, Motlop and Watts.

Who won the trade period in 2018? Lot's were saying North Melbourne after bringing in Polec, Tyson, Pittard and Hall.

Winning the trade period... doesn't always mean winning games.

good perspective

whatever you do is never guaranteed thats for sure

 

[Keyter]

So Essendon are officially in the gf window.......? With Daniher....
Them Finishing in the bottom 6 is going to Be a nice slow revenge....

 

[DST]

Think it takes huge balls for the club to hold it's ground.

- Papley was contracted and required. We kept him.

- Essendon asked for important, required players. We kept them.

- Club had it's eyes on certain draft prospects with pick 5. We kept it.

- Media basically dragged us through the mud for weeks. We kept our focus.

No bending over here folks!

Could not agree more, we set out what we believed was fair value and then stood our ground.

Now up to us manage the relationship with Joe in the next 12 months and work with Carlton or someone else to trade Papley next year.

every year people say we have cash to spend, cant seem to land anyone unfortunately

We offered 600K last year, during the trade period. no one came in.

This year about 2 mill came off our cap not including buddy only having 2 years left on his contract by trade period next year (obviously this doesnt include other players value rising)

I think we have some cash to burn.... like a lot.

 

[Donza]

Every team to win a GF has brought in players over that period. Most have brought in guns.

Yet the teams that bring in the most guns, don't win finals.

 

[SSwans2011]

Bit of both was my point

We've got plenty of youngsters. Sinclair is the only best 22 player we've recruited from another club since 2013 and we lost a better player for him.

 

[McRobie]

Embarrassing from the Swans, addressed nothing.
Absolute gutless work. The Daniher circus was embarrassing from the get go and then did stuff all about our garbage midfield.
Well done Swans.

 

[aussietomt]

Did you get any licorrrish? (The chewy stuff)

Lol, sorry guys, move to wherever mods.

I’d be happy with 2 more days of boredom. It’d mean Papley remains and we keep Pick 5.

Considering he asked to leave 18 months ago and then had a career best season, it won’t be a problem.

Papley loves to play footy and that is our big win. He has probably been long aware that he was staying.
Jones, I am middle ground. Great runner, good defender, but oh those turnover free kicks when he changes his mind and has one moire step inside. Handed the ball back to the opposition so many times. Anyway wish him luck taking a monday morning dip in St Kilda Beach. Will not be long before he wonders himself how he could leave the Sydney beach scene.
Overall....well done Sydney, showed great backbone and passed on a message for the wanta leavers in the future. Hopefully club also has extra foresight in reasonable/decent contracts for our young players in the future.

hope so

alright caesar88 who will get at 5

The last player we took at pick 5 turned out pretty well, just saying...

 

[SSwans2011]

Yet the teams that bring in the most guns, don't win finals.

1 in 6 years would leave us a fair bit behind those teams.

Winning the trade period... doesn't always mean winning games.

Can say the same about North (with Polec + Hall), Bombers etc

Even Geelong. They're still up the top and they've stayed there but not actually improved their side much despite all their additions.

 

[Superstar swan]

Managers would be very weary of their clients getting commitments from us moving forward

 

[caesar88]

A little guy called Buddy Franklin was pick 5 too

 

[6yearsold]

Want young with pick 5.

 

[Stencorp69]

Depends what we offered, but if we didn't offer much more than 9+25 I'll be pi**ed. Also we could have gone elsewhere to improve the list, but we put all our eggs in one basket and didn't pull it off. We have clear holes which we all agree on and didn't fix anything. Dreadful.

I'd be pissed if we got him with more than 25. Let's see if he has a pick nine season with EFC, I'm betting he doesn't.

 

[Mister B]

who knows

club will put a positive spin on it of course

stkilda went out really positive and traded

will be interesting to compare the approaches

Good trades don't fix culture.

 

[Tedeski]

No Jack Martin for Blues & no Tom Papley for Blues.
So based on Barrett's measurement the Blues failed miserably.

 

[The King!]

surely suns wouldnt pick martin in the psd if he wont sign

 

[Superstar swan]

Swans and daniher both look like pelicans right now

 

[The King!]

Good trades don't fix culture.

why?
we have traded in guys like mattner. shaw Bolton Richards kennedy etc, all leaders

 

[BloodySwan]

Unpopular opinion but I don't think that was a bad trade period
