2019 Trade thread

[Hollow Knight]

Worst case scenario we add another hundred pounds per square inch of pressure to Collingwood’s cap as their list heads towards a cliff in 2-3 years.

 

[Bucking Beads]

It will be hilarious if the Pies up the offer on Elliot. They’ve got a lot of big time talent to sign up next season.

Nixon literally just makes it up by the way.

Yeah I was thinking this too. We're in a position now to make the clubs around us pay more to keep their players which is fab.

Probably had to be 600k to get him out of pies and get him to move state . Really hoping we have enough cash to lock away McLuggage

I've been worried about this lately, but then I think, If the Tigers can fit Rance, Rewaldt, Martin, Cotchin, Lynch (all on over $800k and Martin and Lynch on over a mill) I think we should be fine given Lachie and Zorks (800k each) are our only 2 big contracts. I am led to believe there's no pressure on our cap at this point and we have the scope to absorb so big contract rises over the next few years.

We might be a perfect solution to the Daniher deal if the Swans want to split the pick 9 they get from Carlton as suggested on AFL.com. 9 plus something for 16 plus something?

Hi guys just wanted to pop in and say I'm loving your list build. Cam Ellis yo man is more than I handy pick up for free and Elliot for free would also be an awesome pickup. I reckon Jenkins for very little would also be the way to go.
Anyway best of luck in for another big season next year.

 

[Groo2]

And of course the stuff Collingwood pays for that never makes the TPP.

Don’t have the footy show to put him on anymore. I guess we will start seeing him on commercials over the next few years

 

[Scubaveg]

We’ll know within the next 24 hours.

Ah my god not these types of puns.

Elliott manager using us well to bump that offer from pies. Looks like another Mitch Wallis.. hope it doesn't turn out same way in the end.

Still a win for us if it puts pressure on the Collingwood salary cap.

 

[ZoBlitz]

What will be, will be.

 

[martinson]

Elliot strikes me as the type that would like to get away from the Collingwood bubble . We'll know this week.

que sera sera

 

[BRAB]

Cam Ellis yo man

This is officially his name now and anyone who disagrees can fight me

What if Basti disagrees?

 

[GC2015]

He played his first rep footy for Qld as a 12 year old. I was the manager of the team.

What was his local club and which city did he live in at the time? Just trying to get an idea of whether Elliott was a city boy from SEQ or lived in a regional town up north/west.

Please don't Sophie's choice me on a Sunday afternoon

Can never forget Eddie offered JB, way back before he re-signed with the Lions, $1m pa PLUS another $1.5 pa in "media".

Can't imagine even Collingwood would get away with this crap now, but then I look at the Tigers in amazement. Just how the hell are they getting away with what to me is a blatant scam.

Dont forget ,that was immediately after Eddie had campaigned long and hard to abolish Lions COLA allowance.
A cynic might say it was all part of a carefully planned strategy to ensure Lions couldn’t compete in a bidding war for JB.

...yes but are we going to be in a position in a few years to be able to keep our players? That's the part that concerns me most.

All well and good getting them in, as long as we can keep the ones we've already got when the clubs come circling for our stars.

My thoughts exactly. The Lions can be used as a more effective and credible threat to up ones contract these days.

 

[Dodongo]

Dodongo is very certain we have Elliott. Dodongo advises everyone not to worry

We've done all we can to ensure we keep players. We just have to hope that the culture is enough to keep them. We're winning now so we've solved a major part of the puzzle. We'll be forever blessed that someone like Berry signed when EVERYTHING was going wrong for us as now we have an environment that's much more encouraging for young players to stay.

There will always be a team throwing 1.2 million over 5 at our stars when they are in their primes. We can't pay all of our players that unfortunately.

When someone like Joe daniher, who is the quintessential Essendon player of the last 5 years, decides to leave, nobody is safe. That's the modern game sadly.

I think so too Dodongo.

But it's not the end of the world if we don't .

We're starting to attract reasonable talent because of some success and the time we put into our players.

What body part will you be staking this on Dodongo?
