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

[earlsta]

Still think we are eyeing off Menzel or Hampton for that next midfield spot (with a 2017 full pre season).

Don't forget these list managers trade accordingly for 2-3 years down the track, not for next year only (2016), they were never a chance of a midfield spot this year.
Menzel wasn't drafted in to play primarily as a forward, he will most likely take Douglas's spot next year(fwd 70% & midfield bursts 30%), while Dougy takes JL's midfield minutes.
Rockliff for Thommo.

Yes it was what I was saying before pick 14 and 29 and maybe CEY for steak knives could land us Rocky.

Interesting risk taken.

If we've already got a name lined up, like Rocky, then it's a move i'd make 10/10 times.

If we're just going to market with $50 in our wallets and hoping we can find a bargain, then it's a huge risk that we come back with nothing but an old lamp and a couple of potted plants instead of something good.

 

[mattymac]

First plus North's second (Lyons) would have to satisfy the lions for Rockliff.

 

[GreyCrow]

Nah you'd just go for it.

Maybe this is the late out?

 

[Peter Doherty]

It's shit.

Effectively we've lost a starting 22 player for a player who hasn't played a game for us yet and a slight upgrade on our second.

Besides our midfield is our weakness and Hampton is being groomed off half back.

Hampton is a midfielder.

 

[Pugsley]

They aren't trying hard enough I guess.

I may have to take up skydiving.

 

[MRB37]

Being from Adelaide he's probably prepared to take unders to stick around, 175K or so. Could see a club offering double that and give him game time to move him. Could see Gold Coast, Fremantle and us having a crack. Gold Coast have a bunch of picks in the 20's that might entice you.

Gold Coast has been floated before, I believe his brother lives up there currently as well.

 

[Elite Crow]

Do you shoot early in the bedroom too?

Calm down man. Sit back and watch the whole movie and then give your critique.

I was responding to a post that discussed the benefit of that swap of players and picks. He wasn't screening a movie.

 

[Elite Crow]

Hampton is a midfielder.

Playing off halfback?

 

[Mismatched]

Not happy with this at all unless we've got better mids coming in. Otherwise it makes no sense. We've had this guy on our list for 6 years. He's had a good year and we are going to trade him for pick ******* 29?

A pick that might not even play a game and will be years away before contributing.

What the ****.

I agree that if it's all we do then it's a bit odd, but I suspect there's a reason we apparently haven't been working too hard to sign up a current best 22 player.

Personally I'd hope for a little more than pick 29 on its own, maybe their 3rd rounder as well, but then our hasn't been our style to haggle over the steak knives, as long as the meat of the deal suits our needs.

 

[Elite Crow]

Maybe this is the late out?

That's nonsense.

 

[DrMike]

Maric was good but he played under your system and went backwards.
Kinghts was hit cruelly by injuries, no ones fault.

Maric was good but his body couldn't give any more. Game also gone past him a bit. Great man.

Did we give you anything for Big Gus?

Oh shit forgot about him. Graham + 53 for 42.

That pick 29 will soon be pushed back half a dozen picks, unless it's being used it's useless.

Wish I shared your confidence on Menzel becoming a starting midfielder, I'm just not seeing it personally.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Playing off halfback?

Has been eased into things off half back this year and in recent games is spending more time in the middle. Would love to see some Nab games in the middle next year, could grab a spot.

I've only seen him play off half back, I haven't seen him spend any time in the middle.

Lyons deserves the money, if we've offered him 175k per annum then that's pathetic and we don't deserve to retain him.
It would also mean someone big is coming here.

 

[DrMike]

What would you take for him, pick range?

 

[Runnin Blue]

That's nonsense.

I don't think he'll be a late out but I remember watching Dangerfield late last season, after he obviously had decided to leave and he didn't give a hundred percent in some games/contests. I don't give a **** who wants to argue with me about it. I even posted about it at the time.

I just hope that Lyons (if the rumours are true) gives his all. We have a semi-final coming up ffs.

 

[GreyCrow]

That's nonsense.

It may well be. Still an idea worth floating.

 

[Elite Crow]

That's the only hope because on its own its a crazy move.

Considering you don't have a 2nd and he hasn't played a ton, then 43 might get the deal done, but as I said, he's contracted, so I dunno how much more that adds to his worth.

 

[Sanders]

With Thommo coming to the end. Douglas is so so form; DMAC having a career game, which still didn't make our top 6, there is plenty of room in our engine room

JL wouldn't be the first one I'd push out.

We need more quality.

 

[Red mist]

Seems the mandate is as soon as you give up a future pick you make it back.
