List Mgmt. 2016 Trade Thread

[Topkent]

Probably not true. Dawes and Lumumba got a couple of years as passengers. Traded in senior players get preferential treatment. Probably only applicable to Melksham here though, the other two will be best 22 I imagine.

Yeah Melksham probably has to get a game so that the supporters dont rightfully ask why we traded a second for a VFL player but the point stands, if the reserves kids want to get a game they need to train and play well

Demonland is hilarious. Had about half a dozen posters saying Rockliff was a sure thing, one guy even said on Sunday Dawes was 100% being announced as a delisted player on Monday.

They literally whipped themselves into a frenzy over a baseless Rockliff rumor from a facebook page, just reminds me why I deleted my account. They try and say bigfooty is a cesspool when demonland is probably the worst moderated forum I've ever come across.

I think the trade was pretty silly, but i reckon he's the type of player we need. Pacey, versatile, kicks a long goal, got experience. I can see the logic. Not for pick 22 or whatever it was but I actually think he'll be ok for us.

He is on the edge of the team but really he is good as depth as he can play a few positions.

Do we let him walk up start if everyone is fit? Maybe only because Goodwin wanted him.

But when is everyone fit? I think he is better than Michie, Newtown, jones ect who got games last year at times.

I think we are in a good spot where our worst players aren't as bad as they were week in week out this last decade.

Demonland is like Fight Club but without the rules.

Which is a shame, because if it had the fight club rules people would stop talking about it

That's what i was thing as well

Yeah this is spot on I reckon. I think this is a big part of the reason we improved so much last year. Our worst players either didn't have to play much, or were just a better category of player.

Barlow anyone??? Still in Limbo.. could get for a pack of cheezels

Took your advice and have stopped posting there for this same exact reason.

I deleted my account because I would have eventually gotten myself banned for correcting the idiotic statements on there. It has certainly made me look at our supporters in a different light.

Not for us (we have far too much inside midfield depth) but if I was a team lacking a player like him (Geelong, Adelaide, Hawthorn) I'd grab him for sure.

Who would you listen to if you was a young player and looking to get to a new club and follow either one of these 2? A 30 year old 4 time premiership player who said he looked at all clubs and Melbourne was the one who stood out and that's why he choose us, or a 23 year old player who choose Richmond because he said he likes there list and the opportunity to play with the likes of Martin and Cotchin.

As soon as I heard Prestia say that, I immediately thought that Richmond had clearly put him up to it after Treloar gave them a whack last year saying Collingwood's list is better.

Richmond and Collingwood, both owned by Melbourne football club.

God it was fun flogging them last year, cant see it being any different next season either.

My worry is we're expected to beat both of them for the first time in a while, and the scars of Essendon and Carlton in 2016 will take some time to heal (Honourable mention to the Saints, who are around our level but we just play like ****ing garbage against them).

 

[pjfairbairn]

I see Geelong are looking at a late trade for Aaron Black, surely Mahoney should be trying to get a minor upgrade on our last pick to throw them Dawes instead, say for 64. Then we could use 3 picks & upgrade Wagner with 89 if need be.

Plus, the idea of Danger kicking beautifully into the Cats forward line, only for Dawes to drop the ball and then Clark to trip over it & snap his ankle is a lovely little dream...

I'd pay good money to see this!

Congrats on landing McKenna from us!

He is very gifted but has no chance to play in our forward line.

Wish him all the best with you guys

 

[Pedantic]

All I know about McKenna is that he was a very handy cricketer...

 

[Deemanding]

There are few AFL players that I know nothing about...but safe to say he is one of them!

EDIT: Now that I've looked at his profile, must surely mean the end of Newton on the list.

Where the hell did that come from!?

Could you give us a bit more info on him please? Is he a tall? Small? Strengths? Weaknesses? I've never heard of him.

 

[coniglio_number1]

He is a brilliant athlete and is a great kick for goal.

His issue is that he is very thin and needs time to develop
