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

[eppo67]

FWIW he is still a strong chance to come.
SO I'M TOLD.
I have NO IDEA what the Club is preparing or is going to offer if anything.

 

[Choppers]

Some on this board are questioning Ellis's ability, and rightly so, and whether he would suit us. The stat I quite like is that he has played 167 games in 8 seasons....that is not quite 21 games each season, as well as his age and experience. In actual fact his lowest number of games in any season was 18. If we can get 100 games out of Brandon in his 5 yrs with us, I would consider that a win, especially with our past injury record.

This happens all the time in European Football. Won't believe it until he is holding the Sun's kit.

Ellis highlights on AFL site.
Who said he doesn't like body contact? Very impressive highlight package.

It's a 3 party deal - Crouch, Suns and Crows. The main issue is he is contracted to the Crows so ultimately it will be there choice.

Sun's should make a good offer (15 and next year mid 1st Rd) but not stupid overs.

If we miss out then we try to get him next year as a FA.

Ease up
First you offer unders

15 and
next years second 20-26

If not FA next year

Possibly cave into your offer last resort only due to fact we need to sell the Suns to King and luko in 2020 with Wins

 

[CommittedSuns]

Finally a hawks supporter on the trade radio with some sense. Quote: Can Hawks supporters stop calling up every hour offering Gunston, Breust and Pick 11 for Pick 2... I almost choked on my beer

Sorry I didn't go through the blow by blow negotiation strategy and bullshit posturing that is a staple of draft season.

The offer I said is the 5 minutes to go final walk away offer.

Ellis is durable, runs all day, mid 20's, and can hit an open target.
So he starts well in front of most of our list.

Not worried about the 5 years, but the reported 600k is too much.
But it is acceptable/realistic to overpay atm.

We must start being competitive - Nothing Else Matters if we are not competitive soon. At a minimum our % should start with an 8 and not a 6 or heavens forbid a 5.

But can't overpay in the future unless it is 1.2m for a superstar.

Says he “hopes” to stay in adelaide

Think it’s more unlikely than likely he ends up at the GC

I think 600k is ok if he can average 20 games a yr........don't know what we're paying Hanley( as a comparison) but he's only managed 32 games in 3 seasons......I'd rather Ellis's 20 games a yr.

100%

Rather Ellis over Martin and we’re not using a pick to get him

That's definitely the correct thing to say if he's still trying to get Adelaide to up their offer....

My personal opinion is that's exactly what he's doing

don't know why anyone would think we will do #2 for any trade this year

 

[thurls64]

Yeah I saw that too and thought what’s everyone on about. He has a crack in the contest and laid a few good tackles. Not as soft as everyone says.
Hopefully now he will step up into another gear now that he’ll have a bit more responsibility being one of the better and senior team players for us and not just a player for the tiges

he does know where the goals are too

I'm on board Ellis and think he makes us a better team.

But everyone has a good highlights package. I remember being blown away by Mac Willis' tape. If they don't look good in highlights then there's an issue with your editor.

Agree- hence my comment on Greenwood
At least Ellis moves like a natural footballer

That was an all-time highlights package.

That package made Buddy and Gary Ablett SNR look like amateurs.

Pity the quality of the TFL made him look like a man playing against 10 year olds

 

[Suns of Anarchy]

Wonder if fletcher gets a new contract?

Has it been announced he's not? I would've thought he'd at least have another year on the rookie list with 10 spots available. He looked good against the Giants NEAFL late in the year.

Nothing yet, I’m hoping he gets a new contract after draft

 

[Deleted member 2402071]

In the Bully today we may move Crossley to the newly expanded rookie list while the investigation continues.

Another senior list spot available.

 

[Fat Pizza]

I’ve just watched Brandon Ellis’ highlights video. He makes Mac Willis look ordinary.

 

[Grechy]

You have a very good player with Ellis. Best 22 in a premiership team twice. Runs and competes all day. We loved him. Hope he makes you guys better.
