List Mgmt. 2016 Trade Thread

[d33my]

I give Terry Wallace a C-

Who cares we got done what we need to do.

I am sad to lose Dunn as well, he (I thought) was a rock in 2015, but I would rather see him playing in a team than playing out his career in the reserves.

Both the Hawks and Collingwood have made some big gambles/moves this trade season, I hope they have patient fans next season as I am not really seeing either team making the finals.

meh I find it interesting.
I don't put any stock into it, it's just poeple paid to make noise, but still, interesting.

Plus, now that the trade period's closed there's not much else to go in the thread.

 

[DemonTim]

I find it amusing. That a bloke who destroyed footy clubs is called the list manager and judges others recruitment.

 

[markm106]

Happy with our trade period. No early pick but we did trade out this years first to enable us to get Oliver and Weideman.
Great to add Lewis and Hibberd who are walk ups to our best 22. McKenna a bit of an unknown but has some good attributes.

I wonder whether we put Garland's name up for trade? I can't see him getting a senior gig this year considering he was on the outer last season and now we've also got Hibberd coming in.

Judy can play KP, don't know if Hibberd can.

It's second hand info not based on any tangible, but I've heard from a orthopaedic surgeon that with the type of injury Jaeger sustained to his knee, should he ever actually get back to full fitness, it'd be nothing short of a miracle if he retained things like his burst speed etc.

Everyone is different of course, but for that same reason I found the comparisons to Shaun Burgoyne's knee ridiculous, not the same injury, not the same person.

It's a nightmare injury. There's an NFL tight end, Jimmy Graham, who did it on one knee and was considered done. He's playing again but most likely with HGH assistance because US sport.

At a stretch. Don't think he's suited to being a genuine KPD, more of a third tall defender.

 

[Jordie_tackles]

I give Terry Wallace a C-

But Damian Barrett says he is the best list management manager who's opinion is unquestionably questionable.

If Col Garland is our #1 defender we are in a world of pain.

Yes! That was it

Particularly when you think about the recovery time for what are regarded as the worst injuries you can get ... an ACL and a Tib/Fib leg break. ACL is 12 months, leg break is roughy 6-9months (guys like Voss and Nathan Brown both did theirs mid year, and we're back Round 1 the next season) He's missed 2 seasons, and after attempting a come back through the reserves on limited minutes, he wound up needing an arthroscope.

The kid is an absolute superstar when playing, but if we'd have spent what they did at the trade table, not to mention his big money, 5 year contract, I'd be thoroughly concerned.

 

[R_Grunter]

Surely the so called "experts" will give us an A+ for our 2016 trade period.

Pretty sure Brisbane got that A+ when they assembled the greatest midfield to ever assemble 2 years ago.

 

[schmuttt]

Doubt the club would want to send both Garland and Dunn out the door without a replacement lined up, and Dunn went to the club late in the season and requested a chance to explore his options. Garland is probably backing himself to try and get back into the team in 2017 but honestly I'm expecting us to be paying out his contract potentially this time next year. I don't mean to stick the boot in but he just doesn't offer enough at AFL level.

But you can't question Clarkson! He's a genius!

Garlands done mate, Hibberds stronger and a better mark if their was an emergency scenario
As for trade ratings, how come none of these so called experts included not losing anyone as part of a successful period?
Surely Richmonds success is mitigated by the fact they lost their most damaging player at a time they think they should be playing finals
Or GWS who lost every single player for underneath their original value and paid a first round pick for a 30 year old
Freo did the best out of the trade period IMO then us and St Kilda
Also think North being able to grab Ahern Williams an Hrovat for nothing was not a bad effort

Agreed. No one mentions the fact we literally lost no one this trade period while bringing in 2 of the best mature age players who were available and will fill needs. No way Tigers had a better draft period. Losing Deledio is massive IMO. I feel only Freo and Saints did better than us..

I kind of recall that. Said something about when they get all that midfield talent together, they combine to form some sort of giant monster-fighting robot?

And that'll be intergalactic by the Beastie Boys in my head for the rest of the day

I honestly think few actually realise that while we did four trades the net loss was only pick 29 & a player the club was going to delist anyway. And for that we got Lewis & Hibberd (& got to throw in McKenna).

Yep! Jimmy Graham is nowhere near as good as he used to be. Was probably the 2nd best in the NFL at his position before the injury and wouldn't be close to that now.

...actually he is back in a big way.
