List Mgmt. 2014 Draft Trade FA Megathread

[Joffaboy]

Armo + 40 + something for 12

Take the something off and do the deal.

 

[Defacto]

I went to a BBQ on Saturday night and I was talking to a couple of Dandy Stingrays people, and we got onto the subject of Tom Lamb. They reckon he has turned into “a really good kid”. They said he has settled down as the year has progressed and has really matured, so I no longer think the preception of him being a bit undisciplined is going to effect his draft position. (Only going by what I have read, a lot of the cricicism was to do with him being slack at school when he was 14-15-16 years old.)


Lamb ran second in the 3k time trial at the Combine in 9.45 (beaten only by junior 800m champion Hiscox) so for a guy of his size to run that fast, he must surely have been training the house down. I couldn't imagine him running that quick if he was slack or lazy like some believe.


I have read that a few people on here aren’t too keen on him, but it sounds like he has really grown up this year and he should turn out to be a very good player. If he is available at our second pick I hope we take him.

(I also heard that of Lamb's Stingrays team mates, Jack Lonie has been interviewed by three clubs - one of them being St Kilda - and Bailey Dale has been interviewed by twelve clubs - not sure if the Saints are one of them or not.)

would love him at the saints!!!

 

[Barrels]

Pick 13.

Until he updates it to include the FA shuffling its meaningless...

Let the rumours flow like they did last year for Eli! Then we nab him in the rookie draft.

 

[Jack Stevens]

With the Trengove deal falling through, the Pelican is going to need to find new ways to stockpile draft picks

 

[dewah07]

Take the something off and do the deal.

Reality is that's what it would take IMO

 

[Bull3tblitz]

would love him at the saints!!!

I 2nd this

 

[Barrels]

Get the Cockatoo!

I'd certainly take the deal, but I do worry about his foot injury; just thinking about Egan, Gilbo, Steven and now Trengove...

That being said, he's already (at 188/84) around the same body size as Armo (184/87) but is much faster and apparently silkier. I'd be keen on him at #12.

 

[bird_man]

If Richmond will pay pick 12 for Armitage I think we do it and nab the cockatoo. I think he'll be a star!

Petracca and Cockatoo along with last years pick pretty much sets up out midfield for ten years. What makes it better is the amount of goal kicking mids we would have.

 

[Periphery]

Cockatoo is too much hype and not enough production for me. De Goey/Weller/Duggan have actually played more than 1 good game in the last year.

 

[Wright 1]

SEN reporting that Geelong have enquired about swapping pick 21 for Rhys Stanley.........?

Apparently Saints said he is a required player.

Wow! Sounds like fair compo, but we cant afford to lose/replace him perhaps

 

[SK_MD_#7]

That makes me happy.

My man RhYs.

I would almost drive him to the Cattery for that.

Whilst I agree in principle, in reality they're all hype at the moment; who knows how they'll go at Senior level...

I agree. I haven't kept up with the entire thread but please tell me the hype on him didn't start because he ran really fast in that goal he kicked?

After they are about to secure Mitch Clark? A much better version of Stanley. And with the return of Vardy, they'll be well stocked for forward/ruck talls. Surprising request.

Sound out by the Cats

Stanley and Lee - faith shown in them by the club.

If, and a big if, we got Tom Boyd then I would trade Stanley for 21.

 

[Periphery]

But that's why you need as much evidence that they can play before you select them because that gives you the best indication that they can make it at the top level.

If we were picking players off 1 game then we should select McKenzie with 1 because he once kicked 16 goals in a game.

And 10 in another, and 7 in another...

Cockatoo I like, but I'd be just as keen on the other three.

Trust in the Trust!

 

[Rors]

I'd say they know Vardy may never make it back... I mean, if Vardy is healthy & fit, they actually dont need either of Clark or Stanley... but they want both of the them??? Sounds strange. I'd take pick 21 for Rhys, which then gives us back-to-back picks at end of 1st round into 2nd round

Something smells fishy down at the cattery & its not the tin of sardines for the kittens....

 

[Highlander35]

On the AFL rankings thing, it showed that Armo, would be their 3rd or 4th best player.

If we can't get 12 and something back for him, well, that's not good business.

 

[Rors]

Hypothetical #29837728 based on trade rumours from the last 2 pages:

Stanley to Geelong - pick 21
Armo & 41 to Richmond - pick 12
Pick 1 + 22 to GWS - picks 4 + 7 + 19

Lose: Stanley, Armo, picks 1, 22 & 41

Gain: picks 4, 7, 12, 19, 21

That's 5 first round picks....

Likely to go to Cats for pick #21

Gain: picks 4, 7, 12, 19, 21

GWS wont have 19 if they get pick 7. The only way something like that could happen is if the Carlton deal dies and GWS get Griffen+6 for Boyd but they wont trade Boyd this year.
