List Mgmt. 2018 Trade, Free Agency & Draft thread

[rickety]

Brayshaw has re-signed as well, if it has not been mentioned

 

[BoomerRoo]

Keep in mind the fact we're open to trading our first pick.

We aren't doing that for somebody out of contract.

This is absolutely spot on.... wait and watch.

Collingwood might not be able to afford Tom Lynch, Andrew Gaff looms as ‘last man standing’

CAN Collingwood afford wanted Gold Coast co-captain Tom Lynch?

That might be the biggest question surrounding the Pies’ interest in the Suns forward as Herald Sun trade gurus Jon Ralph and Sam Landsberger cast their eye over the big names still in play in 2018.

Lynch remains the biggest name yet to recommit for 2019 as three Melbourne clubs firm in the race for his services. The goalkicker’s future came further into focus this week when Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley revealed he had met with Lynch earlier this season.

“What people have said to me is Collingwood have got a really tight salary cap already, they’ve already invested a lot of money elsewhere,” Jon Ralph said.

“So they’re saying to people ‘we’re really, really tight, we’re really stretched to fit him in’.

“Clearly they’re still interested in him but that’d be an issue for those guys.”

Lynch isn’t the only star whose future beyond 2018 is yet to be sealed, with Ralphy and Sam discussing the latest whispers on Eagles Andrew Gaff and Scott Lycett, Docker Brad Hill, Cat Tim Kelly and some premiership Tigers.

Will Bachar Houli and Shaun Grigg earn another contract at Punt Road or could they be tempted to a rival who can promise a longer deal?

“You’re probably a good chance of getting them,” Sam Landsberger said.

“I think Bachar Houli will definitely be on a list next year.”

But it’s uncertain times at the Western Bulldogs.

The club has extended the deal of hard nut midfielder Toby McLean, but the future of plenty of other Bulldogs isn’t so secure,

Watch the boys discus

Wtf Hard nut Toby McLean - lol what world do we live in where that ducker is hard

 

[the rooboy]

We have 13 players that have not been signed I believe that we are waiting for answers so we know what to do with contracts.

Eg front load them now so we can keep a heap of salary ready to go.

Has anyone from the club stated that we’re open to trading our first pick ?

I’m certain Funky Carl talked about it a few weeks back.

Since when have Collingwood operated under a salary cap?

 

[koshari]

yeah Geelong have been pretty good without an established ruck, are you suggesting the quality of our mids would find it just as easy?

No. I was simply stating that you can win midfield clearances without a dominant ruck. Imo a mobile ruckman will be a far bigger asser than a tap out specialist. Look how damaging Dean Cox was. Imo most worthwhile ruckman of recent years.

 

[Jindrrk]

Has anyone from the club stated that we’re open to trading our first pick ?

I believe someone (I believe Dilena) said during the year that we were open to it by memory.

EDIT: Sorry the Filth already replied. Since the HS is content locked found on that awful Zero Hanger:

AFL feels ripe for a salary dump trade to happen soon.

We could take, say, Mayne and a second rounder for, say, Morgan. Frees up a few hundred $k for them to get Lynch and gives us some more currency for bid matching. We would have to spend the money Mayne gets anyway. Win-win. Would the AFL let it happen?

 

[Rad Roo]

aaron hall the most likely and most suitable get for us. he is like a higgins player minus the injury. he has the pace and is not often injured and would be another addition to our midfield as a run and carry player. We really need a few very good interim player until to we get the likes of Ahern, LDU, Thomas to take over. So the trio of cunnington, higgins and hall looks most satisfactory as the interim stop gap players. Forget the likes of Gaff and the other big names because they wont come over and even if they do they wont achieve immediate success. The richmond and collingwood are immediate success team where we are for the medium term. Other than hall, i would absolutely pick up David Swallow but not too sure about weather he wants to come over as we kinda shafted his old brother. Josh kelly of course if there is any existing under the table deal but that's about it. The 7 times 1.2 million deal will not work until we've actually wont a flag and by then a 4x650k is probably more than enough to get a A grader with the right motivation.

Im not sure on hall, barely played. I can’t hold much stock on someone who can’t get a game at GC

 

[Billy Not Really]

Picking up Hall and only Hall in the F/A front is what I would call a colossal failure of trying to lure star players.

It's like settling for not even second best.

On minimum wage maybe but if we are going to significantly cut into cap space for hall and dalhaus we may as well give up

At that point don't even bother if that's your only options. Hit the draft for some cheap gems.

Are you serious ?

You want to watch C Mayne in a NMFC jumper every week and at the same time help Collingwood nab a superstar in T Lynch ?

Is that your win-win ? Collingwood get a gun KPF that automatically makes them a top 4 side and north get a pick twenty something in return....

In what way does that benefit us? Maybe a first rounder and second might be worth thinking about

Thank me when we get Rozee Thomas and Scott in the same draft and still have plenty of currency for Kelly the following year.

We ain’t getting that for someone we’re about to delist though.

I'm not sure they realise what a salary dump is.
