List Mgmt. 2025 Trade/FA Thread (Cont’d)

[satty]

Really keen to see how Shane o Bree and leppa go about rebuilding our midfield.

 

[satty]

We struck gold with West in the 50s so hopefully we can hit with our picks this year

I would also be pushing for Cochran to get more game time in the seniors next year, just to fast track his development.

 

[chestbrah]

A fit and firing Oliver would fill one of our biggest list needs and would be a wild move if we pulled it off. I’m keen as.

 

[JOELY]

Oh no.

 

[Apex36]

They'll get checkers for free through free agency, it'd have to be a seperate trade for Oliver.

Actually it’s more likely they’ll want to trade for him so their FA compo for Spargo doesn’t get diluted.

 

[whiskeytown]

700k off the contract Oliver is possibly the biggest buyer beware I have ever heard at trade time


And then it turns out the Dogs will give away Jamarra for free

Even in his madness Oliver is clearly elite in ability and very durable

but unless converting him to Zen Buddhism is part of the playing contract

…then taking him on… effectively signing him til 2030…

is like choosing to run out on to the freeway in your jocks*

* which is something Oliver may yet do

 

[TradeDraft]

Oh no.

Take what he says with a Grain of Salt

 

[Apex36]

Maybe wishful thinking on my behalf, but would Mihocek have second thoughts heading to Melbourne ?

Looks like they're heading for a rebuild and most of their stars are departing en masse.

I don’t think. Checkers moving is motivated by success. It’s money and fair enough, he started late so deserves his payday.

 

[satty]

Oh no.

I wouldn't be surprised if the recruiting team got blasted with messages from the playing group about staying the F away from may.

 

[Leigh aka Frogs]

I think he became extremely complacent at the Dees. His best is top 5 in the comp, but his worst is deplorable. Could Fly along with Nick, Pendles and co unlock his best again? For a late pick and a heavily reduced salary id be interested

Yeah on balance this is where I sit too.

There’s some huge risks but if the deal is right, and if he has a genuine desire to improve his life (something the club would need to investigate and make a call on), it might be right. A real late pick, and a very reduced salary. Anything other than that, a big pass from me.

 

[Apex36]

You dont understand the free agency model, do you? He doesnt get a choice if they match. That's the difference between restricted and unrestricted. If Port matches he has to stay.

If you’re going to try to talk smack about knowing the FA model you should at least make an effort to know it yourself.
If port matches he doesn’t have to stay, he’s still an uncontracted player. The club he wants to go to just hast to facilitate a trade instead.

 

[sr36]

I'm in on Oliver but can't believe a club is offering to pay 600/700 k a year for the next 4/5 years to get him off their list.... Interesting!

Adelaide will end up with one of Petracca or Oliver.

 

[Dtennent94]

AFL list management is becoming more like SuperCoach every year.

All they need now is to end the trade lockout every Sunday night and let coaches rage trade their players before they make it to work on Monday.

 

[Matt_352]

Could we do a Trade during Trade Period for him like just trading a Useless Pick?

He was delisted, no need to trade can just sign him

 

[Peters_Nuts]

Im usually pretty optimistic. Maybe im missing something , just watched a highlights vid of his afl play. Decision making and disposal is questionable

Some strong marks and defensive wins though. We need a genuine big bodied defender for depth.

I’m optimistic. Let’s see how he goes in an experienced team vs Richmond.

 

[stormskye]

I would also be pushing for Cochran to get more game time in the seniors next year, just to fast track his development.

I’d be pushing for any kids playing above vfl level to get time in the seniors. Cochran is not one of them atm

 

[Obese Arachnid]

Forget those 3. This isn't the year to add dickheads - there are complete ****wits going cheap. Time to stock up.

I've retired.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

We’d be wanting a good subsidy for four years and a massive one for the fifth. Strangely it’s vaguely tempting a bit like Geelong with Smith but on balance I’ll pass. Too risky

 

[Jen2310]

They talked on the trade desk nothing of a trade for checkers but that he can walk there

 

[cfc19902010]

What are they going to say about Oliver then ?

 

[FAIRANDBALANCED]

If you’re going to try to talk smack about knowing the FA model you should at least make an effort to know it yourself.
If port matches he doesn’t have to stay, he’s still an uncontracted player. The club he wants to go to just hast to facilitate a trade instead.

The ignorance is mind boggling. If it's completed by trade, how is it free agency?

 

[Heater39]

We’ll have to pay up for Oliver with either salary or trade capital. Melbourne aren’t going to pay his salary AND give him away for nothing.

 

[Roverjg]

Maybe wishful thinking on my behalf, but would Mihocek have second thoughts heading to Melbourne ?

Looks like they're heading for a rebuild and most of their stars are departing en masse.

Who is going to be there to kick it to him. He is going to Siberia

 

[Matt_352]

Checkers still keen on going to Dees with the experience being gutted? If they are going down path of youth then makes fck all reasoning to offer a contract to Checkers.

Also, Dees can't expect much if they are saying Oliver is going to play VFL. You certainly don't pay a 1st round pick for a VFL player.

Shot them selves in the foot saying he would be playing vfl at the dees
