List Mgmt. 2019 Trade & Free Agency Thread

[Harris 10]

Narkle is an interesting one, he’s a WA boy. Had an ACL in 2017 and another injury interrupted year this year.
Played some decent footy in second half of 2018 coming off that ACL.

Competing with Rohan, Dahlhaus, Atkins, Miers for a go in the forward half.

I wouldn’t say no but it would have to be cheap.

 

[Waussie]

Is Harley Bennell now an unrestricted free agent ?
[/QUO

Just a thought, Brad Hill has been talked about for the last couple of weeks as trade bait. In an interview he has pulled the contracted line and don't know nothing line. His brother is out of contract the end of this year and will need help getting to another club, your thoughts fellas.

 

[Waussie]

Harley Bennell is done.

We need line-breaking pace, Freo needs solid citizens off-field.

Hill brothers straight swap for MacMillan makes sense for both clubs. Totally balanced trade. Get it done.

They need a decent coach first of all, but I like your thinking.

"just a calf complaint"

2 games in 4 years, big bloody complaint.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Brad would be alright for our needs, but I reckon he's currently a tad over-hyped.

Stephen is going on 30 and has missed around 30 games of footy in the past 3 years. We already have enough injury basket cases. No thanks.

 

[King Corey]

I haven't really followed AFL since round 1, but they sure looked like world-beaters then - defended us tightly and posted a massive score.

I take it they're now top of the ladder with a percentage in excess of 200?

In their supporters dreams.

 

[glenn2479]

No. We simply don't have any ready made alternatives. And he's probably still a top 5 ruckman in the league. Still has another 3 years in him.

We just got beaten by a team that had Zac Clarke as their ruckman. I’m happy with Goldys work but if the deal is ok then we should take it.

 

[Snake_Baker]

The whole Clarke thing was waaaaaay overdone.

He's not as bad as folks make out, and our tactic of basically dropping the ball at Cunners feet in order to create a contest and negate opposition spread & run played a significant role with how this contest has been analysed by some.

The problem is that sides are literally sitting on Cunnington now and not even playing the ball, knowing they have the advantage in spread whilst we have the likes of JZ/LDU & Ahern constituting the centre square set up.

The retun of Higgins will help Cunners & Jy, but we still need to find more.

 

[Event Horizon]

Firstly, Clarke isn't as bad as some say, secondly, Goldy wasn't beaten by him in the way that some say, and thirdly, this was one of Goldy's below average games, but overall he's been more than serviceable this season IMO.

 

[tiltraise]

What are peoples thoughts on Aiden Bonar?

Pick 11 from a couple of years back played a few games last year and looked ok. Unsited thus far this year (possible in this week?) and is OOC.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

We should look at a cheaper option for a small forward, ie Ronke, who has been dropped again.

Bonars NEAFL stats for this year. Some nice tackle numbers in some of those games and .66 goals p/g.

 

[Quintero]

I don’t even think they’d give us a first round, it’ll be a wells type compo.

What if we lose 5/6 and finish with pick 5 which makes Goldy compo pick 24.

He has not signed yet, I'd imagine he's gone as the % of FAs to not have signed at this stage of the season and then remain at their club would be extremely low in any sport.

Is that his genetic sequence?

[Horizons_00]

Thoughts on Goldy everyone - if we were guaranteed a 1st round compo pick (based off Saints pay), is anyone here tempted to let him go?

I feel like North are preparing for Goldy not to be here in 2020 considering we are asking about Peter Ladhams. If we can get a decent enough deal, I am all for taking the risk where we probably have been too risk adverse in the past

Can Tom Campbell come in and take over? Not sure, but he has had the full year in the VFL, getting better and better, he deserves it IMO.

 

[King Corey]

I'd still offer Goldstein 3 years on decent coin.

Based on track record and probability you're getting a player usually on the park every week, who can play one out and be top 5 in the competition standard until needing to worry about the position again in 2023. No brainer.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Hmmmmmm, Lewis Taylor is an interesting player.

Can run, decent user of the footy, half forward/wing outside type.

 

[SlyCunnington]

The retun of Higgins will help Cunners & Jy, but we still need to find more.

Yeah I'd posted on this several times on the old a/c I had on here, highlighting our predictability.

Personell variety & make-up will help, but we also need to be a lot less predictable with our clearance work from the ruck contest.

The other special is the flick out the back and that's pretty much where it ends.

 

[Snake_Baker]

We might be able to land him for a reasonable trade price.

Yes I was just thinking of him the other day. Think he would be a very nice pick up relatively cheap.

Cam McCarthy unbackable Browlow favourite, already cracked the 100 goals for the year.
