List Mgmt. 2020 Trade Thread - Part III

[BrutThough]

They will playing him on the wing/half back and he will go alright.


I'd ask them for a 3rd, or at least a swap of 3rds on top of the 4th but in the end it's a bloke getting an opportunity and us clearing a spot.

I would be surprised if we didn't take the 4th rounder.

 

[bergholt]

My source says we’re eager to keep him, but at the very least we’ll be asking Essendon to cough up. I don’t know what that looks like for a fringe player who’s out of contract though.

Their earliest pick (after the first round) is 67, can't imagine we'll get much more than that out of them.

 

[Jack Stevens]

We should definitely trade Nick Hind for a 3rd round pick so we can draft a player like nick hind who was taken in the 3rd round.

It's the poor man's version of GWS constantly trading former first round picks for more first round draft picks

 

[bergholt]

I would be surprised if we didn't take the 4th rounder.

Yeah, to me he seems like the sort of guy we'll delist in a year or two with another 5-10 games under his belt.

 

[Mindtraveller]

They'd be asking for a second if it was reversed.

 

[BrutThough]

I would rather see lonie and kent go ( amongst others - webster, dunstan & ross) - Im not necessarily a huge fan of Hind but as an emergency he can play half forward or halfback - the other guys mentioned are all pretty well suited to 1 position

Everyone you mentioned is a better player. I'd rather Lonie on the list than Hind because Lonie is at least good in the one position he plays.

Still not much movement.


Laxettes required?

Another masterclass

Pick 30 for a 32 year old. ****ing ridiculous. Geelong has become a retirement village.

In comparison, we got Zac Jones as a 23 year old for a higher pick who has another 10 years in him.

 

[kernelT]

It's pretty hopeful the Hind becomes a wingman or solid half back at AFL level… he looks great dashing with the ball in hand, but he just doesn't know how to find it enough and his decision making is average.

 

[saintsmania]

Hind is a good player. I much rather we keep him than trade tbh. Pace is what teams are craving for and he has that in abundance. Smart footballer who should be playing at HB.

Geelong are selling the farm to try and jag a flag in the next 2 years.

DONS MAKE HIND OFFER - 2.30PM

Tom Morris reports...



Essendon has tabled a fourth round pick for St Kilda speedster Nick Hind.

Foxfooty.com.au understands the Saints are weighing up the proposal up.

The Bombers like Hind’s pace and believe they could potentially get him via the pre-season draft if needed.

Hind played VFL for Essendon in 2017 and 2018 but was overlooked before joining the Saints as a mature age recruit.

He played 10 matches in 2020 but fell out of favour late in the campaign.

Dodoro threatening to get every player in the pre-season draft. Have they done Caldwell yet?

 

[marcus1232]

one of Mcgrath / Merrett is what we should be asking for in a trade for nick hind.

Throw it back at the muppet

 

[st_trav_ofWA]

i would say we were broken long after pelchen left and pelchen was just the symptom of a much larger problem. worth remembering we replaced pelchen with jamie cox, who was sacked not longer after for Lethers

things have appeared to get better since Lethers came in and really started pushing the football dept

things got better in 2014 when we got Finnis in .... Pelchen had Nettlefold fooled into thinking his plan was going to bring in the success we craved .. once Netters stood down Pelchen knew his days were numbered when Finnis came in it became really clear that we were heading for the rocks as a club it wasnt going to be a quick fix we had just blown 3 years of development, the unfortunate thing was we couldnt weed out the issuse in one swift motion we also needed to ensure we didnt just sack everyone unless we had a better option in the frame to replace them hence it took time to make all the changes that needed to be made. i know it meant we kept some people longer than we should have but we had to also manage the perception that we were ripping apart at the seams as a club...
first things first we needed to get the business of the club in order and i know that frustrated many of us as we were not focusing on our core business of winning games of footy but it did set a strong foundation for us to build on

I've been cleaning bird sh*t off of my couch all day, any updates on the Jack Higgins deal? Last I read it was a done deal this morning.

We should definitely trade Nick Hind for a 3rd round pick so we can draft a player like nick hind who was taken in the 3rd round.

Unfortunately that's the way it goes. If he wants out there's not much we can do and we also need to make room for players coming in

 

[Yawkey way]

They're back to almost 100% at Monash thankfully. I'm also doing pretty well in my last year without tooting my own horn so a couple of labs approached me to do projects which was nice.

That’s great crusty, yeah she’s at Clayton but classes have finished and she’s just marking assignments now.

I call bullshit but lmao if this is true....


Edit - just realised this is legit........ about George Hewitt.... pass - we'll wait for Heeney.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

I remember when we signed Marsh, a goodly whack of his highlights were defensive work at Collingwood ... been genuinely surprised we've not given him a run down there as he seemed to have a great sense of when to punch/mark, and a solid read of the play. He's not particularly undersized, and he's got the body strength to man-up on some of the bigger blokes, so maybe that is where he can find a niche, particularly if we don't have a clear picture on who replaces Snake when he's fully cooked. Maybe a little undersized at 193cm, but I don't feel we're seeing his best in the forward line.

Very sure he played games in defence last year.
I had a look to see if we'd made any comments on it, but couldn't find anything.
Given that he didn't kick goals in some of those games, and no-one was talkinig about how crap he was, he must have done ok.
Plenty of 1%s in the Gold Coast game.

In fairness, most small forwards struggle to find the footy consistently. I’d want to see what he can do as a half back flanker before putting a line through him.
He looked really sharp in the 2019 intraclub across the backline.
If I remember correctly injuries to Kent & Lonie were the main reason he went forward that year and he did alright.
I don’t think he’s a good small forward, but there’s enough there for multiple clubs to have gone after him this offseason with multi year deals
