List Mgmt. 2013 Trading & Free Agency

[Elder van Berlo]

You know whats funny...

Up until the last few weeks, I hated Eddie Betts passionately.

How? Good player, really likeable, and has done the square root of **** all against us in his career.

Fun fact - apart from GWS (against whom Betts has played 1 game and didn't kick a goal), Adelaide is the only club in the AFL Eddie averages less than a goal a game against.

How many does he average against Carlton?

I just tried to explain this to a Port supporter, using Ben Jacobs as an example (it'll end badly no doubt)

Jared Polec
Pick #5 2010 National Draft
16 games at Brisbane Lions

• 3 in 2011 - 13.3 disposals a game
• 12 in 2012 - 11.9 disposals a game
• 1 in 2013 - 9 disposals in a game where he wasn't sub

Ben Jacobs
Pick #16 2010 National Draft
Voluntarily delisted by Port Adelaide in 2012 and re-drafted by North Melbourne at Pick #37 2012 National Draft
26 games at Port Adelaide

• 12 in 2011 - 16.3 disposals a game
• 14 in 2012 - 16.4 disposals a game

Can't see how we should be giving up much at all if Polec wants to return home.

I don't think Ben was voluntarily delisted, otherwise Kangas would've taken as a Delisted Free Agent. But the point is the same.

I know people will shoot me down for linking a News Limited article, but this article suggests the possible free agents Adelaide could be targeting.
According to the link, Xavier Ellis from Hawks is in talks with a non-Victorian team. It also says Eddie Betts' asking price is $600,000 per season.

What are Simon Kerrigan's test batting and bowling averages?

Voluntarily as in Jacobs delisted himself. He wasn't a DFA because Port offered him a contract I believe.

Not so much for linking a new ltd story, but maybe for linking a story posted in this thread already 15 hours (and 2 pages) ago.

I dont know exactly, he just gave me the shits, just one of those things.

Maybe the baggy shorts, the stupid handshakes with Robbo. I had him pegged as a massive seagull, and a bit soft. Only seemed to notice him when Carlton were flying. A bit of a downhill skier I guess.

But now I know better. Top bloke.

I thought that's what we were meant to do? Go around in circles and post the same thing for general consensus?

Seriously though, I must've missed that.

 

[SydCrow]

can we sneak Duigan into the Betts deal?

It's FA not a trade. We would have to trade for him separately.

 

[azza77]

For all of you that were worried about Brad Crouch, you can sleep easily tonight and for the next 10 years

“My manager and David Noble have been talking about my contract, so hopefully we can sort something out soon,” Crouch told FIVEaa this week.
“I’m from Ballarat … and I find Melbourne pretty tough to deal with. I don’t exactly like it over there, so hopefully I can stay here for the next 10 years – that’d be nice.”

 

[footy4ever]

Still only rumour at this stage, but seems to have a lot of legs.

 

[Fox_River_18]

Kerridge just signed a 2 year deal, so the Kerridge trade is off the table

 

[Matman23]

Alan Didak has been traveling back to Adelaide to visit a friend with illness. I'm guessing he would also still have family here, does anyone think it would be worth taking him on for a year. I honestly can't see the point but thought I would bring it up for discussion..

I liked the look of Xavier Ellis a few years ago but I seriously cannot remember the last time I saw him play.

Gets to a stage unfortunately that a player has had so many injuries that their running power and fitness base is permanently affected.

 

[redhorse]

Betts deal as good as done. 3 years and its not 600k its just over 500k. Carltons offer wouldnt go above 2 years and 400k from what I heard tonight. Mark it down

Are you Shaw?

Yeah plenty of room in Bett's shorts to hide him......
but we don't need such a player as Duigan

That's great news. Can I ask where you heard it?

Is the satay good and reliable? Hope it is.
