List Mgmt. 2016 Trade Thread

[Marc_Remillard]

We are bringing in two Bombers to play half back and already have several other back flankers on the team. Birchall makes no sense, dude is near done too.

Isn't Melksham more of a forward player?

Yeah but apparently the plan was to play him at half back. I don't think he's got a place anywhere on the team, I think the list turned out better than Goodwin thought and now he's stuck with the Milkshake.

apparently we are in for Grant Birchall what will it take to get it done?

Source?

TBH Id take Melksham over most of the players taken after that pick in the last draft. If it works great, if not, oh well!

There's a spot.

Big part of the gameplan is fresh legs off half back. He adds to it.

Richmond get pick 26 as compensation. All of a sudden, our pick is now pick 28.

Pick 26 for Vickery? WTF

Much like us with Frawley it's not what the player is worth, but how much he is getting payed and he position to the team he is leaving. Frawley leaves a team with the worst defence = top pick for us. Vickery leaves a team that has struggled all season, 2nd round pick

 

[DeesFan]

Seriously not sure why no interest in Dawes .. take out the fact he can't mark, jump, kick and handball plus Calf, Hamstrings and pea Heart problems .. surely he is the cream on top for a side (not Melbourne)

Decent win for Richmond. They must be delighted Hawks wanted him.

That's not true at all. It was on the 3AW rumour file this morning that a Hawks player (who at the time was "refreshed") was saying he was off to Melbourne. The player is said to be aged 30-31 and played in Hawthorns four premierships. That has turned into people speculating it's Birchall (who's 28).

According to a person who is mates with his manager, the player is actually Lewis. A two year deal may be offered to him. He is signed with the Hawks until the end of next season though, so doubt this has any substance.

To be fair the one thing Dawes isn't is a pea heart.......

And now Dildororo will want a future first rounder to get Hibberd.
But I insist that he is not difficult to deal with.

Anyone else bamboozled by the recruiting/trading decisions of Collingwood and Richmond? And to a lesser extent the Hawks?

I just want Geelong to **** up at some point

If they get Lids and give up something significant, its highly likely he'll spend the next 2 years injured.

If they get rid of Motlop, probably works out about even

Absolutely no idea what's going on at Collingwood.

Collingwood are employing the infamous 'scattergun'.

They seem like the guy at the bar who struck out after spending too much time and effort on a good but unwilling prospect.... just trawling for anyone who is willing

 

[d33my]

Collingwood seem to massively overestimate where their list is at. Think they believe they can bring in some players and seriously challenge in finals. I can't see it myself, but hey if it makes them feel better then they should go for it.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Wells is a good get though. Rockcliff suits them as they lack players who play inside

Well when your coaching job is on the line at years end, you might want to try and speed things up

 

[TheCount]

Collingwood absolutely screams of Bucks making a last ditch effort to save his job.

 

[Proper Gander]

All I can think re Pies in particular is that once you get away from the months of speculation and rumours of who is gettable - there is a far smaller market available then thought. Presumably C'wood have been putting out feelers for a far greater number of players, and Wells and Mayne were the available options.

For what its worth, I love Wells - think he's a great player (so long as on the park) and I probably rate what Mayne can bring more than some on BigFooty, though his best form hasn't been visible the past few years so looking like he might not get back there. But neither on their own or in combination seem a solution to the Pies issues, and I don't see this as icing for a flag or even likely to propel them to finals any more than not bringing in players. Maybe because they don't have a first round, plus their indifferent performances this year, they feel a need to look busy doing stuff - turning over their list etc. I dunno.

 

[schmuttt]

Pies aren't doing anything to fix their key defender issues either, or even their defence in general. They're already a team you know you can score heavily against with even just 45 inside 50s.
