List Mgmt. 2018 St Kilda Trade Thread Part 1

[St Kilda Death]

I think we need as many A-Grade midfielders as we can get and I think Sloane and Kelly provide that, Gaff to an extent (although would be predominantly on a wing) and I don't think there's a spot for Dahlhaus in the side but again just IMO. I much prefer Wellers aggression around the ball and ball carrier.

I dunno how much you have watched of Dahl and maybe I have it wrong, but I find he is very aggressive.

And I love Weller. I don't think he would take his spot in our side, fitness pending he would get a lot of mid/wing time in our side.

 

[Cleanupsoup]

Isn't Aaron Hall eligible for FA, or is he just OOC?

From that list, be going hard at Sloane, Gaff and Dollhouse, but wouldn't want to spend our first rounder on Gaff, if the draft still looks as good as it does now and our pick is top 10.

I think Hall is available next year, was picked up in the 2011 preseason draft I think

 

[King_Steele]

Dollhouse would be a walk up start to our best 22.

Let’s not overrate our kids yet.

 

[triggering bro]

Dollhouse would be a walk up start to our best 22.

Let’s not overrate our kids yet.

He’d come in for Geary imo

 

[aussierulesrules]

Don't know why you wouldn't play both Dollhouse and Mav (if back in form). LD would be taking the place of a Lonie/Minch/Wright and be a monstrous upgrade on them.

Alternatively, he could take the place of an Armo/Koby, giving us a better balance to our midfield and more versatility, being genuinely able to rotate through the forwardline and be a threat there. You could have him, Stuv and Gresh all rotating between there and the midfield.

Like with Gaff, I wouldn't want to have to give up our 2018 first for him, but if he came for just cap space? Giddy-up.

[Moorabbin Ghost]

Sloane, Gaff, Dahlhaus the only players that would interest us on that list.
I really hope Tom Lynch comes to Melbourne to send other clubs into a frenzy while we go to work on mids.

 

[gringo2011]

Putrid list.

It would be funny if we picked up the Cuckster.

2018 Rookie Draft:
St Kilda pick 18: Tom Lamb

RECRUIT OF YEAR 2019

 

[Sainter93]

I'll come back to this thread once Gaff has re-signed so I don't hear his name again.

Sloane should be the one.

 

[Crusty Undies]

I’m norm 100% sure, but this will be his 10th year at the club which I think makes you an unrestricted FA.

not if you're in the top 10% of earners at the club unless that's changed recently.

 

[Mowman]

War room is very quiet, but things can change

 

[borderbarry]

Not keen on picking up anyone in the trade period. Would like us to be busy trading players out for draft picks.

Yup.
But in the 2019 draft.
Got severe Kelly love.

 

[The Jack]

Disagree on this. We've been to the draft over the past 5 years. Time to complete the list with ready made, A grade class.
If we're not ready now we never will be.

 

[70s sainter]

Get Sloane of course
Package hickey with our pick 10 for top 5 pick and grab the best mid available.

 

[borderbarry]

Was'nt much interest in Hickey this year. They will have to give him more opportunities this season to make him more attractive.

There are not many players available that interest me. Maybe Sloan and Hall. Pity Sloan was'nt a bit younger though.

 

[borderbarry]

And why do you suggest we will have a top ten pick? I certainly hope not.

 

[plugger66]

Unless Hickey plays well in the ones packaging Hickey with pick 10 might get us pick 9 or maybe still only pick 10.

 

[bergholt]

Putrid list.

I'm holding out hope for Jarryd Blair or maybe Sam Wright. I'd be happy to give away a few years of first round draft picks if we could get either of those superstars.

 

[70s sainter]

And why do you suggest we will have a top ten pick? I certainly hope not.

Because we didn't do anything to address our midfield depth in the off season which will have an impact next year. So can't see us improving too much unfortunately. Just the vibe I have really
I'm hoping hickey gets an op to prove himself again and gives us trade value.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Article on the AFL website on each club's injury lists says that Gaff "carried an ankle injury through 2017" and required a long period of rest after the season ended to help it heal. Think he still managed to average about 29 touches a week in spite of that.

 

[majortinkle]

There are not many players available that interest me. Maybe Sloan and Hall. Pity Sloan was'nt a bit younger though.

One advantage to Sloane age is the potential for big money requirements from him are limited in terms of years. When he’s on his way out our homegrown guys can share his cash

 

[aussierulesrules]

I don't really get why anyone would be opposed to Sloane if all he cost was money/cap space.

So wot if he only lasts say 4 years? At the end of that time he frees up a chunk of cap space and you can go after the next Sloane if need be.

And if he helps us win a flag in the meantime I'm sure none of us will care.

If he's open to it and we don't have to trade for him, bloody get it done!!
