Mega Thread 2019 List Management, Free Agency & Trade thread #2

[Joao]

Newnes is no longer a free agent. That window has passed.

He could be delisted though.

What I mean is, we would never trade for him when we could have just signed him for free. He has zero value.

 

[G Mus]

Newnes is an FA anyway. Also he is a spud. Rather take the chance on MoutainDew since he is young enough to get better.

Acres isn’t much better

Newnes was RFA and rightfully we told them piss off

Which is the right thing to do, St Kilda would be doing that to try and get out of giving us access to potential elite players. We don't need average players.

Let's get a top ten and a top ten next year.

 

[Freeeoo]

What’s the deal with Acres? Were we ever into him?
Be nice to get Hill then to back to St Kilda and ask how much for Acres

Apparently we're not interested in Acres.

I'm bracing for 10, a 2nd and some upgrades here and there

I think 12 has been ruled out as its going to Port

Surely Dogs arent getting Bruce, Keath and keeping 13 - that's an insane off-season

 

[fnerd]

If it is #10 and future 1st (like most of the media is saying) I will be doing cartwheels, even if we were give back a future 2nd that's great for us.

I don't trust the media at all though. Could just be raising expectations so when we get less than that they can say we screwed up.

I'm expecting more than #6 or more than #12 & #18 but not by huge amounts. Would not surprise me if Bell wants something very specific to work with other trades and the draft.

Yep same is a great result and agree if thst was the case we’d probably have to chuck a second back-whichever of our two future seconds we think will be lower but would definitely be a win for us.

Doubly so when you consider it also gives the golden opportunity to death ride the aints alllllll season long.. actually thinking about it that in itself is almost worth it alone!

 

[Swiggy]

If we get saints future 1st how do we get back in draft this year? To get the WA kids

It can be live traded during the draft. Do you want to give away a top five pick for a pick in the teens this year?

If the club is looking for a KPP from WA that future first will be very handy, and O'Driscoll projects as a terrific mid.

I don't know where this mentality from St Kilda supporters believe that the transition from pick 6 > 12/18 & returning pick 12/18 for Howard, Ryder & 10 only to on trade 10 & 2020 first rounder is considered a 'master-class'. Ryder is past it and Dougal Howard as good as he is, isn't worth a first round pick. I really find it hard to believe Saints fans are insisting that Fremantle have been completely unreasonable.

Fremantle have been disrespected significantly. I'm not sure If I'm fueled by the manner that the media & Saints have conducted themselves, or by the Saints supporters. Unfortunately, Fremantle have to barter hard. What is the general consensus?

 

[aussieviking]

Stuff me these trade periods are useless 2 weeks and notbing happens to last day. These guys must all be incompetent

[wild side]

There is no gilding the lilly losing Brad Hill, but if bell can pull off a reasonable compensation, so be it.
To whoever said that hogan was a bust, I don't think so. I think 2020 will be a good year for Jesse

 

[trentjac]

Patton for a future fourth. Hawks have done well if they can keep him fit

At some stage you need to move beyond hitting the draft and balance your list with some mature players who fit needs. I think that is where they see themselves. Possibly the do not rate this draft for their needs.

 

[peppy la pew]

With all the talk on here about us targeting local talent in the draft this year
Has the club formally announced that or is it just wishful thinking on our part ?

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

*potential top 5 pick - and if its top 12 then yes.

I dont think we are getting the future 1st now but if we did, I'd see if Sydney want it as a straight swap for 9. Might tempt Essendon a bit more since there is a couple of good KPFs for next year I think

I don't get the rush. Things take time, and I find it entertaining. Maybe just tune in half way through the last day and see what has happened.

Wishful thinking, but based on WA winning the U18 champs, plus a number of those players hitting our needs nicely.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Jesus, Patton for a future 4th - GWS capitulated again

Apparently St Kilda only getting 58 for Steven as well

 

[Freoforever86]

North trading 8 for dees future 1st also 26 & 50 this year. Interesting

 

[malpaso]

Why does Hawthorn get away with murder at the trade table?

Longer the better for me, it’s not just that trade to be considered but a raft of other considerations.

 

[wayToGo_]

Patton for future 4th. Will not be surprised in 10 years time some whistleblower will come forward and reveal that many trades done in the past have involved under the table envelopes. Either that or something else under the table.

 

[theGav56]

Yep, you get to see club strategies for the coming seasons and beyond. Surely Saints are revealing that they consider themselves a serious shot for the finals. We are revealing that we still see ourselves in rebuild mode.

 

[Bring back Drum]

I’d love to see somewhere that we’re into Tom Cutler. I’d be happy with Aish & Cutler coming in & then Menadue in for a future Happy Meal.
