List Mgmt. 2022 Trade Thread - Part III

[Joffaboy]

Probably so far. I'm saying that should be an expectation. We are the only club that gets an Allison with our first pick and it's just normal recruiting for us. Hopefully that was what got Libba the arse.

Yes really bad, same with getting Owens at 27 and Windhager at 39.

 

[sunny3193]

Trade our future first. Get into a position to take 2 top 10s.

Clark doesn’t have to get traded.

What holiday am I taking?

Dreadlock?

Allison looks like a shocking selection but really it seems to happen all the time. He was pick 29, look at all the top ten picks on the move this trade period that didn't make it. Paddy Dow was pick 4 wasn't he?

Last year's draft looks like our best in years but we need to back it up and start doing it consistently.

 

[Joffaboy]

1 hour and the truth be known. Will it be a top 5 pick or do we keep a talented duel sided top ten. Intriguing.

 

[Minga]

Bytel isn't leaving, set to sign one year contract.

Perfect. Who knows where he’ll be by the end of next season, but I wouldn’t put it past him to break into the 22 if he stays healthy and continues to be best on at Sandy.

Still have high hopes for Bytel

Or option 3:

get completely bent over and end up looking like George after Dard Ball Get is done

Geez we've been good at valuing our offers to fringe players.

Him, seb ross, dunstan, carlisle etc etc etc.

We've been pressured by a lot of fringe players over the last few years to stump up extra years and/or money with the implied (or actual) threat of them 'testing their market worth'.

Long is pretty much the only exception- but that was to a desperate gold coast offering insane contract length of 4 years.
(Dunstan left, but his market testing resulted in the market declaring him worthless.)

We've done a lot of things poorly the last few years- but holding firm on not throwing larger than deserved contracts at fringe players is a rare bright spot.

I actually meant going for drinks, not getting bummed. But I see how badly that was worded. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

[gringo2011]

We got them like shooting fish in a barrel. They fell in our laps, If we did that every year there would be nothing to complain about. Nas is the one proper pick we had and he wants out by all reports.

You don’t need to explain to anyone on here what you do in your private life.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

I still wan't Gresham to spend most of his time forward, but he's always one of our main clearance players/ball winners.
If Bytel can do a share of the grunt work ( along with Crouch and Steele ) that can make it happen.

We come from a long line of bumming, remember that.

I don't care what others do. We have had a decade in the wilderness. We can't afford more mistakes because we have to make up ground. That last draft is what other clubs get consistently. It shouldn't be celebrated, it should be expected.

 

[George]

Wonder what the recruiters are thinking. Probably have half the deals done already and just sitting around now waiting lol. Enthralling.

 

[saint66au]

Just because there's a 3pm embargo doesnt mean that CLubs cant start to set deals up

If there was something going down with Clark, pick swaps/ whatever someone would have leaked it by now

I think you can just check back in at 7.30 for the massive "we did nothing" melt session that will last til Draft night

I like your reasoning, but is Bytel a bit same-samey as Steele/Crouch/Ross.
Gresh adds a real point of difference to the midfield. Maybe Hunter Clark can free Gresham to the forward line?

How many good players came from the first round 2020?

It was really bad timing for Bytel going down when there was a spot open with Steele out. Late in the year we probably should have shoved games into him late just to have look at him instead of letting Sydney chair their champion off.

The guy that went the pick after him probably cost Acres his job.

 

[True Believer]

Nas is the one proper pick we had and he wants out by all reports.

Please explain to me how the RUMOUR of a player being homesick and potentially wanting out has anything to do the quality of the player we selected? Are you saying he was not the best pick? If not, if we had picked someone else in case NAS got homesick, and we watched him play like that for someone else all this season, would you still be pissing and moaning that our recruiters got it wrong, and we should have taken him? Tough gig, no matter what they do they are wrong....

Overlooking Poulter was a massive error

God you Turks do go on.

I can only speak for myself.

But my butt has only ever been in the waste management game.

Never been used as a playground.

So maybe I need one of those ancestry DNA tests
