List Mgmt. 2016 Trade Thread

I'm not sold on Prestia. Has a lot of talent but I think there is a particular type of club that would get the best from him. Tigers run too much on emotion and not enough on solid systems. I think he'd do well in a more professional club like sydney, adelaide or hawthorn.

I love prestia I think he's a gun, but I think it was dermie who made a great point. Whilst he's a solid player he's never going to be a champion. I think Richmond should go to the draft. I'm not sure picking up cloak and prestia will help Richmond a hell of a lot. Sure they could improve next year even make finals but at the most they'll remain middle of the road team and will never threaten in finals.

Prestia is 23, developed and a proven very good player
Could easily play 10 years, why grab someone in the draft who's probably a 50% chance of even being an afl regular

Maybe Richmond should do a Tysonesq deal get prestia and down grade pick 6 to 10 (or wherever melbourne finish) but certainly not straight swap for 6.

His best spot is in the middle though.

And I suggest that we've already got 2 A-graders as well as about 5 B+...

A
Gawn
Viney

B+
Tyson
NJones
Hogan
Vince
TMac

I genuinely believe that we could well have 10 elite players in 2018.

Jones, Vince (both could fade), Gawn, Viney, Tyson, Watts, TMac, Oliver, Petracca, Hogan.

Then you throw in the likes of Jeffy & Jet (among the best in the competition for their roles) and you wonder about the potential of Brayshaw, Hunt, Stretch, Salem, Frost, OMac, Weid, ANB, who could all end up as elite one day.

Then you have a solid mid-tier of Bugg, BenKen, AVB, Harmes,.

Sure I'm missing some as I don't have the list in front of me, but it's pretty bloody exciting and good enough for me to think we shouldn't throw the kitchen sink at Nat Fyfe. O'Meara, if he was fit, on the other hand..

 

[pjfairbairn]

It depends on his next contract, not his current one. I reckon he'll get picked up somewhere but it'll be a pretty lowball contract. So, doubtful we'll get any meaningful compo, if anything.

Facepalm moment here! Thanks for clarifying Niall

"Michael Hibberd has informed the Club that he wishes to seek a fresh start elsewhere next season."

Just announced on SEN Hibberd has said he wants out of the Bombers. Dons not to stand in his way.

Headddddlesssssssssssssssssssssssss *shakes fist*

 

[LeverPuller]

BANG

 

[Proper Gander]

Breaking news folks just now on ABC - hibberd has advised EFC he is looking for a fresh start at a new club.

Interesting. I'd heard on supposed grapevine that he might stay. Anyhow, welcome to MFC dude.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Was about to post too. Well apparently Hibberd's dad doesn't no squat about his son

Wish I could type faster.

Looks like my only breaking news is that someone mentioned Hibberd on the ABC.

Oh good. Third rounder thanks Essendrug.

Worth mentioning that there's still some water to go under the bridge yet. At this stage you'd say we're frontrunners though.

 

[Russian Demon]

Hopefully we can offload a Grimes type for a late second/early third rounder to sell on to Essendon... if we give them our second after overpaying so badly for Milkshakes I'm going to be angry. I don't care if we don't even use it!

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Is it too early to start talking premierships?

We arent getting anything like that for Grimes, m8. Lucky if we get anything at all.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Like a poster above mentioned, there's a lot of water to go under the bridge yet but if he does nominate Melbourne as most expect, that's going to be a fantastic result for you blokes. Attacking rebounding defender, wonderful in the air, experienced but young enough to still be a vital component in your next premiership tilt.

He's probably worth more than your second round selection, but you overpaid for Melksham. Don't know about your thoughts but I'd accept that.

Happy to give up a second rounder for him, he's probably worth pick 25ish so i think the deal is pretty close to spot on for both teams.

He's a free agent, so we wont be getting anything in a trade.

 

[Super Demon]

Its our duty to offer unders for him.

 

[MUYB]

Its out duty to offer unders for him.

straight swap for dawes

 

[Theo X]

straight swap for dawes

Sounds fair, they need a KFP.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Id give Dawes up for nothing and happily throw in our 5th rounder to get the deal done.

 

[Sellout Scully]

Can people stop suggesting trading Grimes?

He's a FA. If he leaves it won't be through a trade.
