List Mgmt. 2019 Draft and Trade Hypotheticals Thread

[Opts]

Goodes in his retired state would still be better than Membrey.

Wow!

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Mills and hewett for petracca ?

Lol. The Dees need run. More likely the trade will be
Jones+10 sessions at Ashley and Martin or a voucher for Rugs A Million.
In exchange for
Petracca+2 years supply of Jenny Craig meals.

Thanks for the opportunity to discuss our ruck situation and the greatest ruckman we've had in the past decade!

Pyke was everything Naismith is not. Consistent, less injury-prone (18+ games in 5/6 seasons), agile and mobile, able to take key contested marks around the ground, and a legitimate threat up forward. Remember in 2013 when he kicked 28 goals? Reid, Papley, and Franklin are the only players on our list to have ever kicked more. We're desperately lacking someone of his calibre.

There are ruckman playing local footy that are better than Naismith.

Buddy is the list manager apparently

The word star is thrown around a lot

Jetta wanted to go home.

It should also be pointed out that initially we were unable to trade him out because the trade ban also applied to the trading out of players. The AFL softened this ban due to pressure from the players association and the media. We weren't allowed to upgrade or downgrade either. The incoming contract had to be similar to the outgoing contract which forced us to offer Sinclair a bigger contract than we otherwise would.

Pick 1 or 2 isn’t out of the question

Who is the stand out mid in this years class?

 

[Punts]

Not many have the break away speed pace and strength that Petracca has. His traits body wise is danger like with a fat arse atm.

If you could sort him out on the hampster wheel and got him cheap he could be a massive weapon

Him and Heeney switching mid forward

 

[Opts]

I think we need a ruckman long term

Sinclair might last. Not sure why we extended Naismith, he better be good going forward

Naismith can't go forward. He's a one trick pony; tap ruckman, albeit a very good one.

I've lost faith in the recruiting side of football.

Still can't get over the fact that a bloke like Sydney stack can get overlooked. He's quick and knows how to use the ball. Then you have kids like McInerney who get picked up showing a bit of potential in only a few games, but a longgg way off seeing if that potential can get filled. Watch alot of local footy and there are players out there who are serious ballers. But somehow you get this hierarchy of favoritism where blokes like Kevin Sheehan and Terry Wallace hand pick 'the best of the bunch players to look out for' based on their relations to past AFL players and who knows what else, despite there being kids out there who are ligitimate guns. There a players that win TAC cup LEAGUE bnf's let alone club bnf's who don't get a look, instead some average Xavier private school kid with stringy arms and a bob haircut gets listed as top 20. The amount of politics involved in recruiting is beyond the joke. If a kid who got picked up last minute in the rookie draft is already outperforming the top 5 picks then that clearly shows something is wrong.

Imagine we had used our last 2 picks, even rookie picks to get stack and a Gibbons. We'd actually have a bit of immediate depth. And don't even need hindsight or logic to know that that would've been a good decision. Instead we end up with a few potential skinny kids who probably get delisted after 2 years.

Just throwing up a trade with no thought

Parker for petracca maybe

Petracca
Ellis

Get ready to be disappointed

 

[The King!]

I hope we get another Ryan Clarke type

 

[Cadsky]

Cockatoo no good.

 

[Punts]

Cockatoo no good.

Injuries have been a bummer for him

 

[scaryness]

Pick 1 or 2 isn’t out of the question

Who is the stand out mid in this years class?

From Vic its Matt Rowell and Noah Anderson. Rowell your JPK type and Anderson your more dynamic flashier type

 

[Punts]

IF Jones did want to return and Melbourne were interested I wonder if we could get a straight swap for Petracca

 

[The King!]

Cockatoo no good.

Repeats what you say a lot too

 

[Punts]

From Vic its Matt Rowell and Noah Anderson. Rowell your JPK type and Anderson your more dynamic flashier type

What’s paddy Dow brother like?

 

[zyzzbruh]

What’s paddy Dow brother like?

Surely not worse than his brother. Another kid who had the absolute air blown up him, yet will turn into an average footballer at best. Stack looks better than him after 1 game

 

[Punts]

I would get goldy for a few years

Hardly out with injuries and is a legit number 1 ruck

Age isn’t on his side but for a few years I wouldn’t be so so bad

Everyone knew how good Stack was, but his off field problems were an issue. He was often rated as top 10, but at the time that Bennell, et al was hitting the headlines, no recruiters were going to take a chance - not even in the rookie draft. His talent was undeniable, but it was higher risk. Richmond got him at a very low risk as a supplemental player so had minimum investment.

1 year contracts sure

1 year contracts sure

Do Sydney do those?

JPK... more like a mini me JPK!

 

[swanssince2002]

I wanted Sydney Stack at the time really. Seemed like an interesting prospect to many of us. Its not like we were burning a 1st/2nd round draft pick man. If he didn't work out as a 4th/5th round pick then who cares. It didn't cost much.
