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

Nah you’ll trade it I reckon. Clubs will know it can be flipped on the morning of day two for a couple of late seconds.

I think you are assuming we still have it available at the start of day 2.

Anyway, it is what it is; an ordinary outcome. My only positive is the future pick, but even then, it seems likely to be gobbled by NGA prospects who we will be getting anyway.

 

[Wally Walpamur]

Hawthorn’s future second, not Melbourne’s.

What's the point of pick 79?

Menadue trade maybe? Not really sure of his worth

 

[Cobbler]

I like how trade radio has been on for 5 days. The Langdon trade drops but Barrett clearly has his segment lined up to bang on about Adelaide.

 

[Bastyy]

Maybe we have committed to a player for a future second ?

Kmac and Menadue for Future 2nd and Pick 79?

butters

I like the Langdon deal. Moved up this year and we get the Dees next year's second. Can't see them climbing the ladder much in 2020.

Seriously? I can't see them finishing bottom 4 next year. Langdon alone will make that difference for them.

 

[Freeeoo]

Happy to get anything for Langdon.

 

[ChimpaWompa]

its a perfectly fine trade, has his value at basically the right mark

nitpicking over minute details from an uncontracted player is a bit petty

Nah not assuming that. I’d guess you’d trade it some time close to the draft.

 

[Purpletown]

Don't use the word hate often, but I truly hate Damien Bartett, Jon Ralph and Tom Morris. Those three sum up how pathetic and disgusting 'sports journalism' is.

AKA The three stooges. The AFL media is a cesspit.

At that pick aren't NGA kids automatically available as Rookies, requiring no picks?

 

[Bender571]

Think we lose on that trade (especially if it's the Hawks 2nd round pick), but we didn't have much leverage.

On the plus side having 2 future 2nd round picks should help us get back into the draft after a Henry bid.

 

[GreatPurpleShark]

I think that future 2nd is going to saints.....

 

[Freoforever86]

no idea tbh.

 

[Sweetback]

That’s probably about even for Langdon.

 

[Lach72]

Hawthorn’s future second, not Melbourne’s.

nope
Langdon, who played 68 games across five seasons in the west, finds himself at the Dees along with pick No.26 in the 2019 National Draft and Fremantle’s future fourth round pick.

The trade saw Melbourne part ways with pick No.22 and 79, as well as its future second round selection.

 

[Wally Walpamur]

Actually not sure if it’s Melbourne of Hawthorn’s second rounder. Melbourne statement said our future second rounder just after they secured one from the Hawks in the Frost deal.

 

[heavho]

Could be yeah for their future first maybe

 

[Wally Walpamur]

Hawthorn’s former second rounder is technically Melbourne’s after getting it in the Frost deal. Still not clear to me.

 

[Ge3ks]

Yeah fair trade for both clubs. Now lets see the Vicco media spin it.

 

[Pommie Docker]

I'm happy with that, I was in the his disposal is so bad it ruins games camp.

 

[Kapow!!!]

That makes no sense. Our record at doing X is s**t so we should back the club in to keep doing X or be happy that the club is doing s**t?

What I'm saying is go for the best available: West Australian or not. Ideally you have the best West Australians but you don't hunt for the B grade talent in lieu of the potential elite talent because the elite talent may go home. You back the club to be good enough to convince the elite talent to stay. To make concessions based on the fear of them leaving is accepting second best which is not what we should be doing.

To borrow a cricket philosophy: You don't set fields for bad bowling. We shouldn't set our list for bad player retention (for whatever reason that may be caused by e.g. Culture, one-off homesickness etc.).

 

[Steinfreo]

Ed finished in our top 10 b&f I'd been stoked with that trade as a Melb supporter

 

[rgauci]

Can anyone tell me how many list spots we have open with both Hill and Langdon leaving?
