List Mgmt. 2016 Free Agency/Trades/Draft thread Part 2

[Team DJ]

Like most players in the league, if they have a strength, we should exploit that to our advantage. But at what cost? No point playing any player out of position.

If we could trade him for our 2nd (which we don't have), you'd do it any day of the week (with some cap help, of course). But Port won't take that. So the cost is too prohibitive.

I'd love a Corvette...

2016 Hamish is no better than Atkins, Seedsman or even Riley Knight

I'd take Atkins over Hamish anyday.

 

[Tex200]

Don't we already pay Seedsman for that? Plus we have Milera and Hampton waiting in the reserves too.

Fair call

 

[1970crow]

Unless you are interested in a fringe player as well, possibly just the 29. I doubt we'll use our first on him, as much as I like him. 29 doesn't seem equitable though, a low to mid 20s would be a bit more fair. This makes it more likely he will not come to north.

If he picks you guys, then we'll be thrilled with 29.

 

[1970crow]

Rooch is a shit reporter. .. he wouldnt dare report badly on port. Cause u know... the crows want to be port....

Were you not around at the end of the Primus years?

 

[DJ75]

I'm not even remotely interested in Hartlett.

IMHO Hartlett=Mackay

Do we really want another Mackay on big $$$ on a long term contract?

 

[GROTTO]

Sorry guys I tried to get HH for a a second rounder and got a big thumbs down and rolling of the eyes.

I hope we don't pay a first rounder for him though. A pick 15 is over HH.

Hartlett is better than Mackay, but that's not saying much either.

HH doesn't get rag dolled like Mackay often does or like he will likely this weekend.

NOTE - HH was BOG for the Power in their away final to Freo, no way ever will Mackay be BOG, let alone a final.

 

[1970crow]

Grigg to Carlton as a delisted free agent

If CEY and Lyons ask for a trade, I wouldn't be surprised if we get a pick upgrade for Grigg as our preference might be to wait to see what goes down. Upgrading our 4th rounder might extract him from us quicker allowing the acquiring club to move on quickly.

 

[1970crow]

Scorpus ...trouble is like the Mackay contract, someone posts this shit and then it becomes, in time, taken as factual account of player salaries which it isn't

You don't think he's worth $400k?

 

[1970crow]

The guesswork though on Mackay's contract is now indoctrinated in BF folklaw as fact though

Blame Ashley Porter who published that value, not Scorpus. And the fact he was listed as a restricted free agent by the AFL.

Did you miss that Mackay has just put in his best ever performance that was either BOG or at least top 3 in a final?

 

[1970crow]

IIRC Henderson is a restricted Free Agent .....meaning he's not in the top 10 paid players at the Crows .....would think Mackay is in a similar $$$ bracket and maybe lower, given there's normally a trade-off of $$$$ in favor of contract length

Find it very hard to accept your price bracket for Mackay, based on above .......maybe $300K to $350K

Hendo is unrestricted. Mackay was restricted when last out of contract. Not similar at all

 

[GROTTO]

Mackay wasn't BOG on Saturday.

Wasn't even in top 3.

Received a 6/10 by most media outlets. That wasn't his best game either, it's just that he has been so bad that that an above average game by him looks better than what it is. If anything, this would be the best time to trade him when his currency is the highest it ever will be.

Did you watch the game?

 

[JPetro83]

I'd take Atkins over Hamish anyday.

I wouldn't. With every good thing Atkins does he follows up with 2 or 3 bad things.

Note the disposal efficiencies.

I suppose Port supporters are floating a Brodie Smith for Hamish Hartlett swap by now over on their board.

Tell 'em they're dreaming if so.

Must be the same guys expecting GC's pick 4 for Broadbent

So you're just making a guess at what they are saying? Or have they actually said it?

Because if it's the former your post is just completely useless.

 

[GreyCrow]

Methinks you doth protest too much

 

[Jars458]

Always asking the hard questions, you're like a mini Bert Newton.

If the contract was reasonable I might consider a package around our first or a Lyons & a second

I think that would be fair. Plenty on here underating Hartlett who could be a very good player in the right environment. Doubt Power would do that trade with us though.

 

[Roo Lives Again]

I wouldn't. With every good thing Atkins does he follows up with 2 or 3 bad things.

What bollocks

 

[1990crow]

What bollocks

I remember now why I had him on ignore. Had to unignore to view a thread lol.

 

[Roo Lives Again]

Yeah I think if we get Hartlett we're pretty much admitting that last years trade period was a failure.

Last years trade period wasn't a failure. Every single thing you post about this club is negative. Trolllllllllllll

 

[Roo Lives Again]

Im not suggesting we trade for him to stick it up Port. I am saying he will want to which will only benefit the side who picks him up.

As I have said, Port will get a first rounder for him.

Well there are dumb teams out there, but we aren't one of them
