List Mgmt. 2016 Trade Thread

I'd kind of love that if players did that a bit more in good humour. Seems like something Gawn would say.

I vaguely remember Bernie saying early in the year on TFS he couldnt sign his own contract because they were too busy putting extra 0s on Hogans contract

Next time he went on air he was told by the media department to tone it down

My boss recons one of the radio stations said Essendon is going very very hard at T Mac.. anyone else heard this?

That's fine they can send us back Hurley in return.

You're correct.
And Wattsy said a similar thing a week or two later

Heard this mentioned on SEN yesterday. Less likely than Sydney, I reckon.

Not a fair trade for Essendon. Hurley for Trac, Hogan and Tmac

IF that is the case (doubtful) then I reckon Hurley is 100% gone, and probably to the Dogs.

The only thing that would be worse than having lost to those scum, would be getting ripped off in a trade with them.

Your reffering to the Salem deal? I mean.. it is a fair deal

 

[Sando22]

O'Meara or Prestia to Carlton for Everitt and pick 22???
I know it's a dream trade but in what world would that even be close to being considered?

 

[Sando22]

F*** it gets worse.
Freos pick 3 for Hogan.
Essendons no. 1 pick and a 4th rounder for Patton, Smith, WHE and their 4th rounder.

 

[Tulip]

I dunno if you consider that most supporters got their preferred 22 wasn't the Hawks minus Hogan then I'm not sure who's spot he would take

The bottom 6 for arguments sake are Harmes, AVB, Pedo, Omac, Stretch and Oliver
Oliver is his like for Like as inside midfielder and he's better, Stretch is an outside player we need and AVB tackles and takes marks.. Harmes is being used in defence because he is tough and he takes on dangerous kicks , not a role ANB could play
The other 2 are keys
ANB is behind Oliver Jones Tyson and Viney and maybe battling with Kennedy to be back up to Garlett

Why don't you think ANB could play that role? He's tough, and being a crap field kick hasn't stopped Harmes. If anything ANB is better by foot.

Because he isnt any good overhead an Harmes is, plus Harmes has actually done quite well in defence with his tackling and spoiling
ANB would be exploited in defence

Think it was more stuff like Vickery and a 2nd round pick for Hurley.

Didnt read the other teams but even my AFL game on PS3 wouldnt do that deal

My prediction for this trade period (if we're not the surprise suitor for Hurley) is making a play to get our 2016 first rounder that we traded to GC last year back.

Might seem silly, but i predicted part of what went down last year - both GC and GWS are going to have a surfeit of picks ongoing - too many picks and not enough list spots to use them. Which means theyre always going to look to bank future picks. Academy picks partially make first rounders worth more to us than them...

This puts us in the box seat. We're the only team to trade a future pick for a pick (others used them on players, tying up their choices) - meaning we can keep on trading future round ones as we have used 2 for the four year period already (I assume until both of those clubs see it as strengthening a rival) - or until we want to use the pick on the missing link player

Essentially what it could mean is that we get Weidemann for free (or a really long term loan - we have to pay him off at some time, but that could be years away).

I reckon Jason Taylor and others have read the future trading better than anyone else. And i suspect we'll keep in front - the traded pick will remain better than our following year ladder position (the 20% discount for academy picks will give us a bonus too).

And we'll use the pick on a gun outside kicker (HBF/HFF).

If this comes off (or was planned for) - Well played Demons.

Interesting take on it, I like it!

 

[Topkent]

Theoretically, if we find a partner can we not always trade a year into the future and never pay it back

Yeah that seems to be the gist of it

There is a sewer on this site, full of the dumb and the stupid. It is call 'the main board', and it is full of stupid flogs.

When it comes to trades, stupid flogs think 'Whats the most advantageous trade I can think up for the club I barrack for', and that is what they vomit forth.

Ah yes ... a place where the "3 duds = 1 gun" trades are (still)born.
