2020 Draft and Trades Thread

[sunsofanarchy]

So what happened to all this talk about players being really impressed with GC weather and lifestyle when up in here in hub life and wanting to come up here.

Finals hasn't even started

Possibly working out a payout and delisting him at last list cuts before draft? Be interesting to see

Perhaps. But I wouldn't count on that happening. Rarely are players released from their contract unless there's an issue between the player and club. Given the club still has to pay him out, it's probably just worth keeping him tbh. At the very least he'll help keep training standards high, help the younger guys develop in the reserves and put a little pressure on spots. By all means, get him off the list if you can, but it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if he's there next year.

You always start hearing of a few things by now. Leaks start to emerge.

Homsch would be okay to keep. Played pretty well last year.

Body falling apart. His hips are cooked.

 

[AuTo00Z]

He'd be on a fair pay cheque with no 100% guarantee of playing next year (or ever again). Hard decision on Rory coming up either this year or the one after.

Contracted to 2023, so the ball is in his court. I hope he comes good soon, but if not, hopefully he does the responsible thing and retire.

That's a shame. Unfortunately the older you get especially as footballers the body breaks down

He was a fantastic player till he had those hip issues at Port. Lost a lot of spring and lateral movement very quickly

 

[SunnerSS]

So that puts list to 42( i think) would be at least another 4 maybe 5 to leave/traded/delisted

Yeah we had 51 at the start of the year (i think). Lost 9 today plus hanley. So down to 41.
Still waiting on list sizes but if 42 is the rumoured figure and unsure of what concessions the suns would have. Need minimum of 3 spots to goto draft and possibly more with trades. I expect a few more to be cut within the month.

Urine-gate?

 

[Ben Drever]

There will be atleast 4-5 who in the exit meeting were given the..

If list sizes are 38 your gone.
if they are 44 or close to you are safe.

why hasn’t the AFL decided by now on list sizes? Clubs need to begin making tough decisions and are in the unknown

its getting closer going by what Jon Ralph said yesterday. Hopefully not too much longer.

Seasons not even over yet, nothing has to be finalised till just before trade week really

They are waiting for Alister Clarkson to have a whinge so they can put in whatever he says

This is the AFL you’re talking about remember.

 

[Jen2310]

Clubs have some idea. Either 38 + 2 rookie, 40 + 2 rookies, or 42 and no rookies. So they can make an educated guess until they know for sure.

 

[Peel67skin]

Just for fun and laugh for North Snake , Jez McLennan , Burgess and Corbett package up with pick 5 for Ben Brown .

Clubs have some idea. Either 38 + 2 rookie, 40 + 2 rookies, or 42 and no rookies. So they can make an educated guess until they know for sure.

Also whether we will still have some additional list spaces on top of the new reduced lists...

By my calculations: 2020 list: 51 players.

Now currently sitting on: 41 players.

Hanley, C.Ellis, Schoenfeld, Riordan, Fletcher, Joyce, Dawson, Heron, Horlin-Smith, Miles all goneski.


Hopefully at a minimum 6 new players in:

Atkins, Broad. And hopefully 1 x A-grade mid + 3 x draft picks.


Means we could still need to lose another 4-6 players via trade, retire or delist depending on new rookie lists and/or whether we will still have some additional list concessions available giving us a few extra list numbers above everyone else.


2021:
B. Buderick, Collins, Broad
HB. Lukosius, Ballard, Bowes
C. Atkins, Greenwood, B.Ellis
HF. Swallow, Day, Sexton
F. Rankine, King, Ainsworth

R. Witts, A-grade mid, Rowell

Int: Miller, Anderson, Weller, Powell.


Current Depth:

Def: Graham, Hombsch, Burgess, Harbrow, McLennan, Murdoch, Towey, Thompson (inj 2021).

Inside Mid: Fiorini, Brodie, Flanders.

Outside Mid: Sharp. Farrar.

Fwd: 2MP, Corbett, MacPherson, Lemmens, Holman, Murtagh, Rosas.

Ruck: Smith, Conroy.


Concerns: Lacking a big bodied mature key defender. Lack of small defenders. Lack of outside mids. Over supply of small pressure forwards.

Likely traded - Brodie? 2MP?

Tough calls still to be made unless the AFL give us additional list spaces for 2021, and maybe reducing to standard for 2022?

 

[thurls64]

not to sound ruthless but feel satisfied we culled Schoenfeld, Dawson and Heron given the current focus on smaller lists we have to get down to pure players who we want and we have been carrying a lot of "maybes" or "never dids" for too long Joyce may get a run elsewehere if he is lucky
I for one would be a yes to Talia coming to us

Harbrow playing on in 2021. Retiring end of next season.

 

[sunsofanarchy]

Hopefully in the NEAFL, working with Jeffery

Never rated Joyce , just average GC academy players , Southport VFL should be his choice . If he impress surely he will get another chance like Collins from another club .

No more NEAFL but VFL .

Oh God no, he’s more cooked than a Quikiemart rotisserie hotdog

Agree it’s an odd decision. Especially with list spaces so tight.
