List Mgmt. 2019 Draft/Trade/FA Thread - Final Wrap

[Supersuns]

Hombsch battled manfully but he is classic depth player.

He is a great 2nd defender but he copped the best forward each week due to injuries. If Rory was back there he would look great as he reads the ball well and can intercept. Same with Collins.

A few reports this morning about Burgoyne to the suns on a 3 yr playing and coaching setup is guaranteed and already agreed to by all parties. I think this will be the first piece of the puzzle of the hawthorn injection to the suns this off season.

Let's hope so!

Couldn’t see Clarkson wanting to come here in a million years no matter how much money we offered him anyway. He loves the Hawks too much and I don’t think his ego would allow him to come here and risk the legacy he has built there. Hawks would have to sack him before he’d even contemplate moving up to us.

funny you say that, we nearly landed him before Dew. He was coming but his wife didn’t want to move to the Goldy.
Loved Melbourne too much..

Today in things that never happened.

In the reserves last year Ballard was very good as a tall wingman. Really provided strong marking link up from defence to attack. Once his tank builds, I think this could be a good option for him in the seniors.

Are you stealing my patter?
I reckon Charlie should be Fyfing for us

 

[MarcLocksCrustySock]

Thank god.

 

[Jen2310]

This would be SO good!

Burgoyne is a good pick up. Some experience and leadership down back, will be able to give Harbrow a hand.

 

[Jen2310]

Martin has requested a trade.




No real surprise.

 

[eppo67]

fu**in hell. Ah Chee is one of our only pacey outside players.

James Brayshaw IQ = 4

Martin has requested a trade.




No real surprise.

Excellent more PP ammo surely.
We have to be given a PP now.

The word is that it will happen. We may not find out for a couple weeks.

Mystery still surrounds out-of-contract 21-year-old utility Callum Ah Chee who played just one AFL game this year between dealing with personal issues and injury.


Dew said no matter what Ah Chee decided, he remained confident the Suns put enough support mechanisms in place for him.

“He has had a tough year and we have really supported Cal and surrounded him with the people he needed,” Dew said.

“We are really confident we did everything we can in that sense

Not sure Jen these Victorians seem to be under some sort of dillusional denial about how they set up a new Club in a 122 year old competition.

The GWS mini draft was a success for us.. O Meara and Martin gone and we sold the shop to get both... Oh well upwards and onwards from here I guess.

 

[Old Sol]

Jack Martin news isn't surprising. Has to be said though I feel a lot worse about losing the player he could be than the player he is/was.

Hopefully we are able to put his contract $ to good use.

If Burgoyne comes I expect Harbs to turn the clock back 5 years and play on, wonder if Martin is having second thought s hearing about Silk

Yeah, I wondered about this as well. Similar for Ah Chee.

 

[compact72]

Fingers crossed you guys get Burgoyne, think it would be your best trade this season

Good luck for 2020

How many years would he be playing footy versus coaching?

Clearly hasn't had his heart in if for 2 years so probably best if he goes and I suspect will be re-energised and play the way we wanted him to BUT with a different club. I'd so a straight swap for Carlisle (STK) assuming Burgoyne comes and we have a much more experienced back-line immediately. Thompson, Collins, Hombsch, Harbrow, Hanley. Carlisle and Burgoyne looks good on paper and might even allow Ballard to move to the wing where I'm sure he'd be happier and able to influence the game better than Jack has done in recent years.

A solid 2020 down back would be more than enough for me with our young group.
