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

[Dan87]

Omg this Barrett fella

 

[Millky95]

Be interesting if Daniher plays much next year

 

[McRobie]

Harley is a lying flog. Can’t stand him.

 

[WillHayward]

Damo seems to believe Dodo is the most honest bloke in the village.

FFS.

 

[The King!]

Wot in the special Olympics, there isn't a full season between them

classy

 

[Jeffers]

It was simple.
Essendon wanted a player.

What one of the 12 best swans were this board prepared to give up ? plus a high draft pick...

Exactly. I'm not willing to give up McCartin for him.

 

[TheWhiteRhino]

Absolute right decision by the Swans

 

[RW]

He is a pro sportsman.

He will perform.

He is here fro 4 more years and not just 1 if he doesn't

This.

 

[PVF]

Swans fans: We always get shafted in trades.

Sydney decline two deals to avoid getting shafted.

Swans fans: *outrage*

I don't get it.

 

[Opts]

Geelong and Hawthorn got golden crops, West Coast and Richmond traded for established players as well to form their premiership-winning core
Carlton, Melbourne, St Kilda, Brisbane, Gold Coast, even Richmond prior to 17 had many busted drafts that had led them nowhere

Not saying that premiership teams can't be built through accumulating high picks in the draft but it requires that the kids actually develop into stars and the club doesn't face retention problems. It's a lottery and not really any more a reliable method of building a successful list than trading for established talent imo.

IMO the best way to a premiership is to draft the best youth possible and then to trade in order to fill any gaps. We are perfectly placed to do this, but not this year. In another year we will have this years pick 5, Gulden, Campbell, possibly a pick before them and possibly Daniher. We will be in a very good position. My only concern will be whether we have developed a dedicated inside mid to work with Rowbottom and another mid with breakaway speed and ball carrying ability.

 

[Superstar swan]

Would love daniher to sit the year out... essentially end the career of dildo

Its different when your recruiting superstars

 

[Dubai Quacker]

And the winner is .... Sydernee!

*cue celebration*

I’m so pleased we didn’t cave & now have the draft to look forward to. The next Heeney, Mills and Blakey awaits.

Sanity prevailed.

 

[Jeffers]

so Gardiner confirmed that 5+9 not enough for dodo anyways as we thought. Get ****ed if you think we should give them anymore.

 

[Wolfgang West]

I imagine things are pretty awkward right now for Daniher and Papley.

Who cares H2F. No sympathy for either of them. Daniher is not our player to worry about and Papley needs to understand he is a professional Footballer playing under contract. Move on. We knew what we would be dealing with when we approached an Essendon Player and couldn't get the deal done. As Usual. Papley would of got his get out of jail free card if we had of landed Daniher.

 

[myyakhasfleas]

Really don't understand all the anger for standing our ground with the Daniher trade. Two first rounders for a player that may or may not be able to get back on the park again is massive overs. Look at the Hogan trade last year, Fremantle traded away pick 6 and 23 for him and he only could play about half the season before he re injured his foot and was out for the rest of the season. We now have a year to see if he can get his body right and if he does well we can pick him up for basically nothing as a RFA. Really doubt he stays at Essendon knowing that they didn't really have Joe's best interest in mind to make sure the deal went through. Plus the Melbourne media would really not make living in Melbourne all that enjoyable. Essendon will get a shitty compo pick for him next year and that's on them.

We now have the chance to go to the draft with pick 5 (we don't usually get a pick in the top 5 very often) and hopefully can address our midfield issues. We were never going to contend next year with the list we have and adding Joe while losing Jones and Papley wouldn't have changed a damn thing.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Would've liked to get Daniher but really Dodoro was never going to play ball. Just move onto the draft, hope we get a strong contested ball winner with pick 5, not some flashy flank type player.

 

[The King!]

Harley weak as piss couldn’t even front the media.
He’s a joke.

hes not recruitment manager though

 

[Horts]

Think a certain few posters need to log off and go for a short walk around the block.

Anybody knocking the Swans for not giving into Essendon's demands are deluded.

We offered them literally all we could, for an injury prone Kurt Tippett V2.0, honestly what more do you want?

My days..

 

[blood_lust]

Sorry, got confused when you mentioned next season being a "write off".

What do you think losing papley would have done to the forward line? Kept us in contention, enabled two of the best forwards to make us better, or just.. Made us a write off?

im saying buddy and daniher are two of the best forwards

and that makes us way better yes

[Punts]

So where’s this Daniher is pissed off coming from?

Management?

 

[BloodRet]

so Gardiner confirmed that 5+9 not enough for dodo anyways as we thought. Get f’ed if you think we should give them anymore.

Even that is MASSIVE overs for such an injury prone player

 

[Weasely]

is not trading a player who wants out as close to winning as a final as essendon have been for 15 years?

party hard i guess

I was referring to the bolded bit in the quote, King.

 

[elastic]

Vic media seems so angry we didn't rate Daniher enough.

The same Vic media always bagging Daniher and contributing to the Melbourne bubble he wanted out of

I think the Vic media were hoping we were going to screw ourselves over by paying too much for Daniher.

 

[The King!]

so Gardiner confirmed that 5+9 not enough for dodo anyways as we thought. Get f’ed if you think we should give them anymore.

have to agree, i thought that would get it done


i semi respect eseendon taking a stance, saying they can win next year and keep him

they overrate their list though imo
