List Mgmt. 2017 Trade & FA Targets Part 2

[VDS66]

It's no 2026, I've heard that's where the real guns are hiding.

How old is Roo's little boy? That will be the year.

 

[gringo2011]

Losing Roberton would be a big kick in the teeth. He's one player who makes me feel relaxed when he has the footy - you just know it will hit a target.

In saying that, Half Back is one position we are pretty well stacked in. But he's close to the best in the business based on this years form.

I get the sentiment but just because we had Milera, TDL and Saad (that could play as a forward pockets), it didn't mean that Milne was easily replaced.

Spot on, runs very deep and has Mids and Talls we need to trade into this one

 

[JG22]

List spots are getting tight af

Perhaps Ameet is lining up a trade.

You'd think at least one of Riewoldt, Joey, Gilbert, Lonie and Savage will have to be delisted/retired.

They all played strong AFL football on the weekend.

Just our luck the AFL will introduce the Wollongong Wolves and they will get access to the top 10 picks.

Savage and Joey for me

In fairne

Tucker, Duggan, Lever, Atkins - any would look very nice in a Saints jumper. Not to mention Kelly who really should be training already down at Seaford in preparation for 2018.

White hasn't quite come on as quickly as I'd hoped but he would be the best replacement on our list (long term). Its a big step down though based on this years form. The Irish may surprise us too.

Having said that, if its 700k, I'd put that and Dunstan's salary towards Lever. How does the first we get for Robbo, ontraded to Crows with Dunstan for Lever sound?

Bains is just as likely to pull something crazy like that off. With Crows looking at key defenders in this years draft perhaps they know Lever is a good chance to walk.

ss to White he is playing in a position where there is an absolute logjam
Savage,Webster,Dmac Robertan,Rice,Newnes,Montagna,Webster, Gilbert. I've seen him play VFL a few itmes now and he is a gem. He covers the ground effortlessly and is exceptionally athletic with a magnificant leap. He is very team orientted in that he always puts his body on the line, goes back with the flight. He is also a 60-70 metre player. He is perfect replacement for gilbert.

Savage and Joey for me

You'd think if we play finals, it would be the end for Roo. But if we add mids then Joey would be the obvious one.

Why would Roo go if we play finals

 

[Sainters08]

If Robbo leaves it would be pretty s*** of him. We were the only club willing to give him a 2nd chance when he wanted to come back to Melbourne...

 

[VDS66]

Why would Roo go if we play finals

No idea, but would be a great way to bow out.

Dunstan
Armo

Getting a lot harder to do then the last couple of years

Are Wright and Minch contracted for next year ?

 

[Sir Skid]

Robbo has boys. Needs to stay cos he's a gun anyway but we need FS prospects to play with young Roo.

I don't get why Lonie gets mentioned. Maybe a coincidence but our run of good form has coincided with him back in the side. I reckon there is a few in front of him who will be delisted or put in as rookies. He is absolutely safe as far as I can see. I do agree through its vital we talk one of Joey or Roo into retiring. We don't want to lose both at once this year or next unless they both want to retire this year.

Hick, Pierce, Dunstan, Armo all contracted.

Holmes and Dempster have basically already been delisted. It's tight otherwise

Was wondering what gender they were! Must keep!

 

[Mowman]

Disagree has put his body on the line for us every time he has played for us, if he has a chance to set himself and family up for life he should do that.
I would hope our club would offer a fair contract as reward for his hard work and improved form to show we look after our own, also we nearly stuffed his career when we didn't look after his ankle right.

Fairly sure we gave them both 2 year deals last year.

No idea why.

Lenny jnr must of been on the bench to miss that passage of play...

Robbo was always coming home regardless of playing AFL . If anything shows how much he loves his young family a true sign of character. He has a big offer on the table from Hawks , but im still confident the club will get something done for him .

 

[Saint_Matt]

Must retain Robbo. When we are trying to build something special, I think it's important to keep as much of the group together as possible. I don't think it's wrong for Robbo to ask to be paid like a top 5 player at our club when he is performing like one.

I don't think he will expect the full 700 to stay, just sounds like we need to come to the party a bit more. Despite what some are saying, I think he is very important to our side. Anyone know where our current offer is?

The Hawks would still have to organise a trade. If he is in the AA squad they can offer all they want if we don't get what we want for him. They have a bunch of old guys and one or two goodish kids and a bunch of mid tier average players. And some how they don't have a first round pick this year. They have **** all we would want. If he wants to move send the campaigner back to Freo for Weller, Balic and Tucker.

What a load of shit.

 

[TheJackal]

In fairness to White he is playing in a position where there is an absolute logjam
Savage,Webster,Dmac Robertan,Rice,Newnes,Montagna,Webster, Gilbert. I've seen him play VFL a few itmes now and he is a gem. He covers the ground effortlessly and is exceptionally athletic with a magnificant leap. He is very team orientted in that he always puts his body on the line, goes back with the flight.

Its great to hear. I have only been to one Sandy game this year so its great that he is continuing to build his game.
