List Mgmt. 2020 Trade Thread.....

[Hojuman]

Can I nominate Bradley Plain for this list?

God. We racked a few up didn't we, even under Denis. Damian Houlihan from the Pies ? My god.

There still hasn't ever been a proper salary dump in AFL trading and we are still the best-positioned team to benefit from one.

If an opposition team wanted someone off their books badly enough to improve our draft hand, I'd happily cop a shitman or two to plug holes while we rebuild/wait for our good youngsters to physically develop.

Toronto and the Nets did one a few years ago that went something like this:
-Nets to Raptors: Justin Hamilton (average journeyman on base salary)
-Raptors to Nets: 1st Rounder, 2nd Rounder, Demarre Carroll

The reason it was so lopsided was the 2 years at $30m remaining on Carroll's contract. Brooklyn took that on knowing they had plenty of cap space for the next couple of years but needed better draft options.

3 years later Toronto have a title and the Nets have a roster that should make them a shot at it for the next few years.

We are perfectly placed for something like this.

Correct. If taking Cox is the price to pay to extract two first-round picks for BBB then you would grit your teeth and do it.

At least he would add a novelty factor to our reserves team, whatever that may look like.

Wig and a skirt ? AFLW ?

 

[DuckYeah]

Taranto and Coniglio fall out? Heard Taranto not happy at GWS..


GWS appear to be falling apart, why they extended Leon Cameron is beyond me.. good on em though

And he could change all the light bulbs at Arden Street.

Just by being himself really. Very tall and very useless. He'll be good for a giggle.

So much handed to them by the AFL, a list brimming with talent, and they are wasting it all with a dud coach. How long before the AFL steps in and Ross Lyon is given the gig?

 

[White Krakouer]

Recruiting Mason Cox & Jack Silvagni would make us so unwatchable.

How many would want to watch those 2 flopping around at Marvel at 4:40 on a Sunday? Would be a disaster commercially.

That's nice. I'm sure the Collingwood or Richmond rubber caps can accommodate one or both.

To be fair he would probably kick 25 goals in a VFL season which would comprise two bags of five where he clunks marks and makes you think he can play and 20 odd games of being in the wrong position, dropping marks he should take, and kicking one goal from five possessions.

This is our leverage. We can offer capped out teams space by taking their bad contracts if we get their picks.

The PR is the issue. Supporters will burn it down because many will judge the deal by the player not the picks.

Firstly, that is a public broadcast. Second, what happens in hub life stays in hub life. Third, You don’t demand players be thanked by the club for their volunteer work and you dont make the club look sh*t taking pot shots because they delisted players, lastly, you dont stick your nose into others business. I’ll leave it there. Theres more to this, thats just the surface

On the surface I thought it was pretty harmless. In respect to there being more to it behind the scenes, I wouldn’t have a clue so I can’t take that into account.

I was most amused when she referred to herself in the third person.

Oh and Geelongs endless salary cap pit too..

I'm sure they have a life long interest in the environment, recycling, and sustainable packing...

 

[scooby1279]

I cannot believe i am reading Cox name in here. He is an average footballer and ain't going to get any better

 

[DesertRoo]

Yeah it just gets continuously more 'waggier'.
I actually didn't mind dangerfields partner responses. Mentions how she lets dangerflag worry about football and his football life doesn't concern her. Meanwhile, Hester, is on the other spectrum saying she worries and gets anxiety. And living 80 days on the gc was almost like a prison. Was not happy with the buffet food?
Mid pandemic. Partner can still work. You're on the gc and it sucks. I'm actually starting to believe those comments now

It must suck being Prisoner number #6573, in a GoldCoast resort.... but I’m with her hotel food sucks. it’s all same/same with a side of olive oil.

It’s interesting the club have basically given him the boot, there must be more to the whole story.

Try reading the rationale as well.

 

[Harris 10]

I’m happy to take on Cox’s contract, if we gat a better pick and just pay it out and never let him set foot in Arden St.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

I think it's gone past the stage of a better deal than us. He'll be looking for a suitable deal. He'll pick his club and we'll negotiate.

Yes I think people are going to be disappointed by whatever we end up with. It's not going to be some high pick/multi first rounder deal, regardless of how many goals he's kicked in the last four years.

 

[New_Roo]

I reckon theres more of a chance of Us attracting these kinds of players in possibly a year or more likely two

Need to get one to stick first though or they will be all waiting for the first!

Lets stop talking about Cox. His name came up as a suggestion for a salary dump, there has been no link from any media/ITK posters yet we have been talking about him for 20 pages like he's actually coming.

 

[New_Roo]

If $700k is the best offer he won't have a choice. Given we've told him to find a new club, it would seem that the $750k/3 is no longer on the table.

Interesting...

[Psicosis]

I'd take just about anyone's salary to get more picks.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Ben Paton from the Saints is someone who I'd be keen on. Dour lockdown small defender, was keen on him in his draft year.

Uncontracted at present, would fill a hole left by Williams but still has plenty of scope for development.
