List Mgmt. 2017 Trade & Free Agency Discussion Thread

[RJC91]

Wood for Stringer. Both overrated.
Stringer can play in Ben Brown shadow and we finally get a goal sneak we have missed since Lindsay stopped getting games. And wood can sit on the sidelines with Boyd most weeks. Can't see how either party loses with that risk.

 

[Unity-28]

our team is awesome don't need premiership players who were top 10 draft picks

Our list is star studded, premiership next year

stringer aint no star, and giving a player and a pick for him is way overs.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Eh, I wouldn't like it but this trade wouldn't be based off 2017. Stringer is still very young and has elite capabilities. Goldy, as good as he was, doesn't look like getting back there.

The Dogs wouldn't accept just Goldy on his own. Maybe a future second can be thrown in.

Both have the potential to be the best in their spot, both have been average for two years. Difference is that they might want Stringer out is in public domain now, this morning Goldy affirmed he "isn't going anywhere".

 

[Snake_Baker]

Our first disagreement. Buy me flowers tomorrow.

At least four of those should be rotating through the midfield next season. I'd see this as the Waite replacement.

And if it's for Goldstein as is oft rumoured I'd rather gamble on Stringer re-finding his mojo with us than Goldy. The upside is bigger and for longer.

Worst case, Waite gets a year but this one interests me. Only 23. I don't think he's done.

It's not that I can't see him on the list, it's that we would be outbid for a trade and he would probably want silly coin.

Just Goldy for stringer is what we should do

 

[North Viking]

Don't want Stringer, don't need Stringer.

Wood, Garner, Simpkin, Hrovat & Higgins will serve us well.

Wood - If he ever get his body right
Garner - agree
Simpkin - would rather him move to midfield or wing in the long term
Hrovat - jury is out for me
Higgins - agree, but for how many more years.

We need a 2nd march winning forward. We don't have that at the moment.

 

[SnowRoo]

The question remains.

Why would Collingwood trade down 15 spots just to get rid of a bloke they have the capability to delist and pay out?

To clear 500k * 3 years of cap space. If they pay out it still comes off the cap each year or a big chunk in 1 year which they can't afford.

Sooner stringer than motlop

I am all for Stringer. And Motlop at the right price

 

[The Filth Wizard]

It's not that I can't see him on the list, it's that we would be outbid for a trade and he would probably want silly coin.

We can handle silly coin though. If somebody wants to go absurd like the Saints or Bombers good luck to them but I think we could get him reasonably. Was a North kid IIRC. Should play that up.

We have to trade for him mate. Picks are out of the question. The cupboard is bare after JK lands.

He's also a risk. We are in no position to trade on speculative players.

If he was RFA/UFA, then sure. BUT, he isn't.

 

[KangaFan35]

Stringer is still young and has shown he has some "X-Factor". New environment, new motivation could see him get back to his best and even better since his best was when he was only 21. Get him.

I was talking purely on a Goldstein swap. Don't see it as much of a risk. And if we missed out on Kelly then certainly he's worth approaching with our second rounder.

 

[brettman135]

Stringer very much a front runner, the athletic skill set is there but not convinced he's got the mental ability to reach his maximum potential.

 

[FastLife]

Must Get Stringer. Superstar potential. Get him fit enough to play in the midfield.

 

[FastLife]

This could work
Pick 21 and 2018 2nd rounder to the Bulldogs for Stringer

 

[TheKanga]

Goldy + 21 for Stringer?

Isn't that overs?

 

[Higgo2Froggy]

Reckon 21+ Goldy is overs. Either 21 for Stringer (Dogs would want a bit more than that) or Goldy for Stringer, but we pay Goldy's wage
Happy to take the punt on Stringer, has shown elite capabilities. New environment will do him the world of good

As for Motlop, wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole

 

[jclei]

I would love Stringer at the club. He needs to be made a midfielder/forward though. Doggies had no forwards this year and tried to make him their key forward and it ruined him.

You partner him with BBB and give him midfield minutes and he will be AA again.

 

[Mattdougie]

This could work
Pick 21 and 2018 2nd rounder to the Bulldogs for Stringer

Lol no

He is contracted

Someone is going to have to pay more than that to get him regardless what you think the kid is An AA and has potential up the yazoo

 

[jclei]

Stringer definitely wouldn't come cheap. 21 year old AA's are unbelievably rare despite his poor form since then. Suggesting Goldy alone or 21 alone will get laughed out of the office at Doggies land.

Pick 4 is way overs though based on his last 2 years.

21 and Goldy feels right to me

The guy is an absolute beast when fit and firing. I've always loved watching him play when at his best. I'm confident whoever lands him will get him back to his AA best.

Perfect age demographic for us too.

 

[blackshadow]

I don't know what more we could expect from the bloke.

Some real aggression at the contest. It's been missing for a season and a half from goldie.

StKildas bank roll has just shrunk

After chatting with a St Kilda insider tonight who told me they were of the belief Kelly will now stay at GWS this doesn't surprise me.

Very quiet club wise on what we'll be doing, obviously we still feel we're a chance with Kelly

Exactly what I responded to the St Kilda insider with.

So he's either told them no, and Carlton and given them the I'm staying (or rather Paul Conners) as he's going to North already (and wouldn't tell them he's going elsewhere otherwise that would create a story from leaks etc) or he is waiting to see if he'll get a premiership and head to us...if not may stay at GWS. You could say he doesnt have to tell them anything but out of respect of their planning, it would be respectful so they don't waste their time and move on to other targets.

No one that I have seen/heard/read from North have said he is staying at GWS, only supposed Saints/BLUWS in the know peeps.

The very fact he has not re-signed makes me believe the above.

Raising his contract price with GWS from a great final series won't help him either for waiting longer since they won't/can't give him more.

So only logical conclusion I can come up with, based on the above, that I still think he is coming to us regardless if they win or not.

It's happenin'. (months ago)

 

[Groin guru]

Goldy is an AA and has the ability to be the best in the league again. Dogs need a ruck amd who better to teach English? 2 years with goldy could help improve english and let him take over when ready instead of exposing him too early.

Stringer for Goldy. Make it happen.
