2017 trade/draft thread

[Miguel Sanchez]

He is a good player though.

Well spotted.

 

[eagles rule]

Is it pronounced that way because he's a bogan?

Nah your thinking of Reese ..

Further to Keys above
You can download the podcast, but essentially the three clubs mentioned have a larger majority of players on contracts that did not make a provision for the CBA, i.e. we have more money to play with. The majority of others clubs players are getting an increase of 20% immediately as they had conditions in their contracts, and hence have already "spent" the 20% increase.

It's interesting - apparently the AFL advised clubs that the increase was likely to be around 10% so I wonder how many clubs would have put the uplift for the CBA increase into contracts had they been aware it was going to be as much as 20%. Especially when you consider that in negotiations the 10% would have been factored into their decision making - so if they were offering a player say $400k they'd be thinking it's going to really be more like $440K once the CBA is signed off, that's now become $480k

I think we still would go with the original offer of 440k. Gives some breathing space if the player asks for some more without having to take funds from somewhere else.

So realistically we're looking at Gov, Ellis-Yolmen and the Ah Chee boys. Ironically Adelaide are the other club rumoured to get a heap of salary cap relief from the CBA.

Johanasen the one

Unfortunately Cripps was a huge WA-based Carlton fan, would be hard to get him to come home.

Very passive aggressive, Fivey, buddy.

It's going to be very difficult to pry an out and out champion midfield West with a big money lure .
More realisticly we should be targeting emerging players who's stars are on the rise .
Zac Jones of the Swans fits that brief.
Will be 23 next year , out of contract at seasons end . He had a break out year last year and emerged as a real attacking hard arsed midfielder and the massive bonus is that he has genuine speed and uses it cleverly.
We need to be more strategic on who we try to entice to our Club.
IMO Jones would add a lot more to the side than McGovern ( junior ) or JJ. Not saying that the two fore mentioned are bad players more that Jones addresses an area of critical shortfall where as the other dont. Also like Gregson from the Cats.

One from our own backyard : Haiden Schloith from South Fremantle, he has a few tools to his game that we are short on.
He was a bit of a hot head and a campaigner early in his career ( spent to much time running around snotting opposition players ) but he seems to have matured these last two seasons. His recent state games was also of a high standard.
I would be happy with him on our rookie list as his body of work these last few seasons has been worthy of a second chance at AFL. Thoughts ????

I heard he was a west coast supporter as a kid? Could be off the mark though, where'd you hear that?

There's thread on the rumours board about him wanting to come back to WA at the end of the year

Jones would be a massive win. Has everything we need.

Schloithe would turn 25 next year. How would he project to someone like Banfield or Tim Kelly?

Would prefer Tim Kelly over Schloithe - seen him a couple of times for Souths this year and he's still a bit of a shithead and a serial ducker

Agree with the rest of your post

Could Mitch Wallis be bought out of the WB with a big cash offer ?

Be pretty hard to pry Jones away from the lure of his brother in Melbourne, and I'm pretty sure they'll have better currency then us come trade time.

I've got vague memories of him attending a West Coast v Carlton game in 2012, certainly wasn't supporting the Eagles. There's a possibility he was just being a consummate professional in his draft year.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

We should target Mitch Duncan.

absolutely. convince him to come home.

I will.

Hopefully Sheed

Nelson is off-contract too - maybe it'll be a package deal? Not sure Shred counts as "big contract news" on his own.

Anyone know when Jetta/Redden come out of contract?

 

[Agent93]

Hopefully Sheed

You hope that, but if I were a betting man, and I'm not, my money would be on BOTH LeCras and Mackenzie.

 

[Beutbrute]

Nisbet has signed an extension?

Also worth noting that Shuey/Gaff/McGovern/Lycett are all RFAs next year...

There was a suggestion that Jetta had signed a three year deal when he was traded but nothing official. No idea on Redden but as a guess I'd say we would have given him three years too to convince him to break his contract and move west.
