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

[Chrispiesssss]

Not trade news, just a laugh

 

[jmac70]

Yep

We need more average non dickheads
Where did jordy fit into the classification a few years ago after he got back from new York ?

The bigger issue is the length of contract and wage.

Just can’t see us getting involved. Once again, the media have made a Collingwood connection with no actual thought.

Absolute rubbish, suns have said multiple times Humphrey is untouchable, plus we have no capital to trade for him.

We can offer all we want for him but if they think his a key piece for their first flag he ain’t getting traded

 

[JuniorB]

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 Port match, the club he wants to go to has to negotiate a trade.
If they come up with a satisfactory deal, the trade goes ahead.
If Port don't match, they would get a high draft pick, as North did for Ben McKay.
For Butters, Port would want at least two first round picks as a trade, so they would most likely match.

McCarthy has slid, same with McGuane and Saxena. Read the latter two are looking like rookie selections.

At the moment he is expected to go 35-45

We must have told them to t*nk, whoops, I meant not to get injured.

Xander is a clown

I think they erred with their list management. I suspect they were happy with Gibcus, Miller and Young as the primary options and they have a lot of talls so were happy to move on from Blight. Curveball comes along with Young moving to WC and all of a sudden the call to delist looks questionable. I’m not convinced this is a good because it’s a real sideways one from Dean, but the cost is hopefully a rookie list spot so not one I’ll be questioning.

If he doesn't spend two years out with foot problems, it's an upgrade.

 

[Masked Magician]

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.

This is spot on!

 

[DERKADERRR]

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

Good point, I completely forgot that Spargo existed lol

 

[jmac70]

He looked good in the QF. I wouldn’t take any notice of the prelim after that hit. A big pre season and he’s virtually an elite trade acquisition

Absolutely!
I also think Crisp can get back to near his best.

 

[JuniorB]

Adelaide will end up with one of Petracca or Oliver.

I would far sooner Petracca than Oliver.
Trac at least isn't a total *******.

 

[FAIRANDBALANCED]

Once a team matches, free agency is off the table and it's an uncontacted player requesting a trade.

So if it's Butters you're chasing, you've got to be prepared to pay the trade price unless you can afford an unmatchable salary.

Yeah this is it, and what I have been pointing out for a fair while last few pages.

In Steven’s defence, it’s a bit unfair for a medical to include having to strike a punching bag without missing and a breath test. BS.

 

[MooreDaicos]

Well he does follow us on Insta

 

[Ugene41]

I doubt it is a test we will take on. Will be interesting to see what Melbourne ask for him. We traded Grundy for pick 27.

And Grundy had no off field issues

 

[jmac70]

For a start Oliver ain’t a plodder he’s quite quick.
There is too many players who’s form has fallen off at Melbourne for there not to be an issue down there.
It’s not just Clayton, you have Trac, Lever? May, Van Rooyen and Petty who have looked ordinary for a while now.
It’s too much of a coincidence and I’d love for us to be able to turn Oliver around.
The club has tried to get rid of him 3 years running, I know how I’d feel if I were him.

Oliver is one season away from entering Elvis mode.

Please Pies, no!

 

[jmac70]

And Grundy had no off field issues

Other than having a tofu addiction.

 

[jmac70]

I would far sooner Petracca than Oliver.
Trac at least isn't a total *******.

That boat sailed away last year.

 

[Ugene41]

This is spot on!

That's what we thought with Grundy. And then next season we had GC giving Bowes and Pick 7 to Geelong.

Maybe we'll get Oliver and their F1 for Mihocek

The writing “the backman played 10 games - including 10 this season” is so stupid and redundant. If they were ALL this season, why would you write “including”?? FFS!

 

[Matrix10]

He kicks the ball well.

Certainly does , comes with glass shoulders

 

[granniewolf]

One has to wonder why he didn't get the hint the first time.

Then why didn't they let him go to Geelong last year?

 

[jmac70]

Then why didn't they let him go to Geelong last year?

They wanted too much.

 

[Everybody Panic]

You said this:
"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."

"He has to stay" Is not pointing out that he then has the choice to either stay, leave via trade, or nominate for the draft.

 

[BillyElliott]

Then why didn't they let him go to Geelong last year?

Rather silly in hindsight isn't it?

Guessing because none of the same people who were in charge at Melbourne last year are there anymore.

Exactly. Thank you.

I couldn't be bothered in engaging anymore.
