List Mgmt. 2019 Trade Thread

[gringo2011]

Interesting concept.

Hypothetically- a 200 game star from one club has a fling with the wife of a 200 game opposition player

18 years later a draftee finds out he is the result of that fling.

Would he have his choice of 2 clubs under father / son????

And the AFL would find a way to link them to a NSW academy despite never having set foot there.

Nah, only North Melbourne.

Carey only played 28 games for Adelaide.

Why wouldn't we be able to take him? Does paternity have to be proven genetically? Can an adopted boy qualify? I've often wondered if there had been a lot of Barks' kids running around the suburban leagues in the 90's and 00's given the great man's prolific strike rate with the opposite sex.

A kid who played with my son throughout juniors was nicknamed "plugger", not just because he was a big lump of a kid and could play a bit. His mum was a well known, self-confessed saints' groupie in the eighties and the rumour was Plugger was the actual father. The resemblance of the boy to a young Tony was uncanny. Added to this was the fact that she was very short in stature and dark in colouring and the "father" was jockey sized, but had been a decent suburban footballer.

Sadly the boy did an ACL in his draft year and didn't get picked. Even sadder, he got arrested for threatening and attempting to abduct an ex-girlfriend at gun point several years later.

Think Trevor was only man I knew to arrive at a party with 3 girls in tow.

Legend


Really disappointed he never coached the club too , think he would have been great

DH: you been mentioned in dispatches at the RC yet?
Very disappointed if you haven't.

I did know the girl quite well, but only in the professional and not in the biblical sense, unlike many of my colleagues and sundry members of the legal fraternity and the underworld. Standby. Pass the popcorn. There are coppers, current and serving who are scrambling for the exits.

That's on the proviso the RC is serious about rooting (heh heh, rooting) out the whole truth. The recent IBAC hearing into Operation Lorimer, the task force that investigated the Silk/Miller murders was pathetic. A complete waste of time that missed any potential skulduggery because idiots like Hugh Selby QC was looking in the wrong place.

I recall as a young detective In 1988, Selby and that other parasite, Ian Freckleton, established the Police Complaints Authority, or the Laurel and Hardy show as they became known. Before being shut down after 18 months without a single, successful prosecution, they provided us with much cause for hilarity.

One night at Oakleigh police station, an unfortunate Scallywag complained, quite justifiably, that his front teeth had been knocked out by an overzealous copper wielding a metal torch.

Enter Selby, stage right, complete with magnifying glass. All that was missing was his Deer Stalker hat, a large pipe and some investigative ability. After poring over the cell, which was the scene of the alleged assault, he found nothing. By the time he was done doing his CSI impersonation, a couple of hours had passed. In that time, half of those protecting Victoria on the nightshift had formed a crowd. It was standing room only in the Watch House. Even the Sunshine div van crew had come for a look!

Anyhoo, he ended his examination, empty handed and furious, giving us all a spray and vowing to take his terrible retribution, accusing us of cleaning the cell prior to his arrival. We cheered him all the way out the front door.

There was only one thing old Hugh did wrong that night. He did direct the scene be preserved. He examined it with a thoroughness that would've made Holmes proud. Even his magnifying glass technique was a thing of great beauty. What a shame he was in the wrong cell! We just didn't have the heart to tell him, as we were acting on his direct and strict orders. Your taxes at work.

If Essendon finish bottom four , having already traded their 1st Rounder , I will piss myself laughing.
They seriously thought they were a good shot at the flag , lol.
They have more chance of winning the spoon.

Can you get your own thread and just post some stories from back in the day. I love reading them!

 

[Keg on legs]

Parish OOC at the end of the year. Reckon he might want out of that rabble.

Let's get him, gresh and carlisle together to complete the pick 5 head ****

Kings brain would explode trying to explain it

Most important list management thing we need to do NOW is extend Gresham.
It's more important than getting a big name FA.
18 clubs will be chasing gresh, we gotta do it now after 2 lucky wins

Don't think the Ess win was lucky at all but agree we need to lock Gresh in long term

Agree with Gresham, but being involved with football over 50years the harder you work the luckier you get.

GWS will be laughing hysterically because they have Essendon’s 1st RDP this year.

Shiel is so overrated, a nice player but not a match winner. Certainly not worth 2 x 1st RDPs. Incredibly reckless deal for Essendon. Dodoro was right to hold firm dealing with GWS, it was Dan Richardson who blinked at the end.

So glad we missed out. I think Max King May be the marquee player we have been yearning for. And he wants to play for us.

Imagine if he nominated us and refused to consider another club.

What would his trade value be?

i like this type of thinking.. target 21ish year olds with upside in positions we need strengthening.
I recon we could out bid the bummers for his contract and he would not rate us too low after today. He could fulfill his potential as he matures

He'd be a nice outside type for us. Just what we need

I'd wait and see if he lives up to his potential first. Essendon would want 13 first round draft picks and a letter from the Queen to let him go. I would prefer others. A midfield bull in the Clayton Oliver mould.

 

[Keg on legs]

Well, he's not worth a top 10 pick on what he's shown

I'd try for an Ameet special but probably he falls in the 10-14 pick range.

 

[BarkerFan]

depends on form this season but mid first round (teens pick) is my guess as of now..

non expert opinion though!

 

[Yawkey way]

Just to follow Essendons example an early third rounder.

Think we should just develop Clark & Coffield myself .

We will have a nice team in couple of years given right development .

Well our first will be about 14 so they can have that [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]

Could have got Worpel with the Clavarino pick.

 

[StCicatriz]

would love to get berry
