List Mgmt. 2019 Trade Thread

[MrFoster]

Who would take Longer?

He is out of contract at the year end

 

[Donakebab]

You have wonder he lasted until the rookie draft then?

Late comer to football. Soccer background, only started playing any kind of serious football in 2016, the year he was drafted.

 

[George]

Who would take Longer?

GWS, North Melbourne.

 

[Duckworth]

Forget about Draper, has hardly played at all this year. Zac Clarke is the one you want.

We have a few at Clarke’s level that we could swap him for unfortunately....

 

[majortinkle]

I think the money for Draper is fine if you factor in Pierce is every chance to retire and Longer will be traded.

I’m personally all for this in principle - big money for talented but untried youngster. No real knowledge of player and would prefer it if he was a mid, but it’s a tactic that fits our capability and need for talent - I smell gubby.....

Who would take Longer?

no one. And who in their right mind would trade for an out of contract ruckman who is injury prone and wouldn't get a game even if fit for a side that has needs a ruckman. It would be madness.

AFL trade news: St Kilda set to offer $1.7 million deal to untried Essendon ruckman Sam Draper

Saints set to offer $1.7 million to ruckman yet to play an AFL game

www.foxsports.com.au

This can't be true can it?

That's $425k a year over 4 years for a guy who hasn't played an AFL game, coming off an ACL and isn't a top draft pick.

You've also got Marshall playing well so why pay a likely back up ruckman so much money?

There is no way that can be true.
The club surely couldn't be that stupid to offer that amount of money for a player who hasn't played a game, and is injured. Especially over 4 years!

Yep I think it's fine, and makes sense if what I'm hearing plays out re Longer & Pierce!

 

[Keg on legs]

So we are looking at bringing in someone with injury history? Yep, seems to fit our recruiting model

Concussion retirement or just delisted?

Seriously , with our record of selecting players with talent plus the fact he has several injury issues , the club must be f----king joking

 

[CaptainRisky]

Concussion retirement or just delisted?

all of the above

 

[pebblesofsand]

So Pierce and Longer are no good but we shouldn't target either an older experienced ruckman (Goldstein) or a younger untried ruckman (Draper).

So Marshall, Rowe and Alibakas it is for next year.

 

[Gosaints12]

Hey guys.

Quick one. What’s the knock on billy longer? No impact around the ground?

Just curious as to why he’s not progressed with his footy.

Cheers

Concussion.

At least has to have done an ACL. That’s requirement one.

Have you had an concussion. That’s question 2.

Question 3 is......

21 year old, take. No. 1 in 2016 rookie draft by essendon. Did an ACL this year... saw a video highlights on YouTube, what stands out is his leap, marking and most strikingly, clean tap outs to his own mids..

Looks not bad for footy smarts and attack on the ball. Having a guy like this is better than the 2 spuds hes replacing so it can only be good.

 

[The_Steadier]

There is no way in hell Essendon is letting Draper go

You should probably give him a contract worth signing

 

[eDPS]

Absolutely

Hope not .. huge no from me .

 

[The_Steadier]

Absolutely

Did you do it yet?

 

[eDPS]

Did you do it yet?

I wish I could make those calls I really do, If i had the power to sack the coach I would aswell haha

 

[pebblesofsand]

Just on the Draper "offer" - if I was a young ooc player at any other club I'd be saying to my manager - can you check what the Saints might offer?

Clearly we have some spare cash for the couple of years.
