List Mgmt. 2018 Draft/Trade/FA Thread

[Suns of Anarchy]

Scrimshaw isn't AFL standard. No other clubs were in the slightest bit interested. Market value for a pick 7 bust.

 

[Iva Bigun]

Evans is a Hawks man remember, if you ever forgot it this trade will remind you

Vale Scrim.

Classic salary dump type trade. That's another 800k freed up. Clearly not rated by the current coaches and staff and just needed him off the books. Whatever it takes to clear out the decks and start again.

No doubt part of the plan to loosen up our salary cap. Hard decisions, but those that need to be made.

 

[TJ Hendricks]

Any clue what our cap looks like now? Still need to dump or are we good?

Well that better be proven to be correct, once again we become a laughing stock for the deal alone and if he proves to be even a fringe player this is a massive **** up

 

[Ben Drever]

We have turned aaron hall and scrimshaw into george horlin smith.

Will be the slowest bloke out there in the NEAFL next year

**** i love this club

Constantly giving me heart attacks

 

[GcSunsfan]

Well I guess that shows how we rated him at least.

Think mark Evans knows Scrim won't last 5 minutes at the Hawks

I agree Ben, being a sun supporter is bad for my health haha

That doesn't matter! He is a chip, we failed to capitalize on. He was contracted ffs. This is waaaaay worse than the Weller trade

Picking him at 7 was the biggest **** up. Another Clayton 'slow burn special' speculative pick who is an introvert. What could go wrong.

 

[kreglze]

Paying him 400k to sit in the NEAFL... No thanks.

 

[TheSunGod]

It’s like a car crash following us. Absolutely horrific but you can’t stop watching.

I hope to god we aren’t paying any of scrims salary for next year. That would be something we do

Iva, surely you can agree that we can't keep a guy on 400k a year playing NEAFL? It's just not workable.

This is a guy that clearly needs a very specific environmental setup around him to get the most out of himself. Some guys need that. Others don't. The mistake isn't letting him go. That's the right move.

The mistake was getting him in the first place. Hopefully our scouting and recruiting teams have learned lessons from the past. Craig Cameron said that he is looking to draft very specific players like this in the future. Players that don't need that very specific environment to be up and running.

Definitely not based on the price we paid parting for him.

Leaving the PC terminology behind.
THEY DON'T WANT SOOKS.

Oh I fully agree, the bit I am most pissed about is why pick him up in the first place, if he’s an introverted mummy’s boy and was recognised as a potential spud why the **** did we speculate on him. This is on the club not the player, the previous regime to get him and the current one for the firesale .


I am sick and tired of the **** ups. And let’s be honest while I’m ranting, we went backwards last year and the word is ( from several sources) Dew is a poor communicator.

GHS just about to be done

Know him from Adelaide days.

GHS isn't a speed machine, but he's a decent footballer.

I think more importantly for your club, he is an outstanding character and leader.

You can rest assured he will play an important role in building a strong culture at your club.

It's interesting this theory. I hear from one good source that he won't waste his time on lazy footballers. You listen to Touk, Ballard, AhChee, Fiorini and they swear by him.

GHS to the Suns for pick 59
