List Mgmt. 2020 Trade and List Management Thread II

[Hearts to hearts]

From Browne

Again with the momentum? He said it on TV and Twitter - it’s like an unstoppable train.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Yeah we're under fire and Roos is well respected by those that would love to see us burn in hell. You just picture this Caro and Hutchy nude on a full moon carrying out some weird pagan ritual on our grave.

Roos can work the media and right now that's exactly what we need. Being honest has got us where?

There's more to football than 'goals for'

Beggars can't be choosers.

If Roos walks through our doors I'll welcome him and hope he can help get us out of this ******* hole we've been inevitably been warming to for the past decade.

North had to know this pain was coming, and the off-season shenanigans certainly aren't helping.

Paul Roos or Tom Browne?

 

[year of the roo]

What a load of sh*t.
Nothing against Roos, but cmon.

What do you mean nothing against Roos?

* Paul Roos.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Well, he got a two year contract last year.

We can easily pay out Tom Campbell’s final year rookie wage And delist him

Goldy and Xerri is enough assuming pending list reductions

Paul Roos the master of telling clubs to do basic sh*t , that any joe blow can see.

And yet Melbourne was a basket case before he got there.

Nah, still need ruck depth. A poster previously mentioned that we refused to let him go after GWS enquired.


We have 7+2 spots to fill without losing Brown/Higgins/Polec and Kyron, EVW, Walker, MM and Jed waiting for money/contracts. We don't need to get rid of more players right now.

Acccording to an ex player very close to your heart the 11 had no future beyond 3 years . He understands that and is fine and is excited for our future .
But did Campbell hide under the desk for a week ?

 

[Rooboy 96]

They have allegedly said the pick (5) is there if anyone wants to trade for it.

So they don’t want it or need it, I assume it is only worth a late second rounder

Suspect it’s as much the PA playing hardball knowing full well that the AFL have hard deadlines just around the corner.

The players association never does anything without the imprimatur of the AFL. They are part of the AFL spin machine.

That is a brilliant post ha ha well done.

 

[So You Think]

Mate, we're bringing in Paul Roos to get the culture of our football club right, that alone signifies the failure of the post 2007 regimes, and my hunch is the choice of an outsider is as much about insulating the board from true blue North people as it is about anything else.

Even when RDB walked in the place, there was Mantello, Aylett and Cheatley on board. North players. Don't you ever wonder why we have such pissweak engagement with past players compared to other clubs?

I won't stir the pot any more than that unless the chirpers crack in at me, but it's a bad look about a drop in cultural standards afaic. THis is what happens when you exclusively have bean counters and private schoolboys in charge of a club for a decade.

Apologies, couldn't resist this post.

 

[krakouers]

All reports is that rookie listed Tomolio Campbello was seen around the club while Tom Campbell couldn’t be found

 

[blackshadow]

Even when RDB walked in the place, there was Mantello, Aylett and Cheatley on board. North players.

So who are these former North players that are available that have the experience and skills required in the modern football environment?

Last time I checked we have two former players on the board. That's two out six, I'd say that's pretty fair representation.

We've also got two former premiership players in senior roles in the footy department in Rawlings and Blakey, we've also got Patch as an assistant and Crock is the AFLW coach.
Edit - Brady not a premiership player.

We're doing pre well with past player engagement.

Sadly, that would actually be progress for us right now.

 

[Johnny99]

Apologies, couldn't resist this post.

Nearly as bad as Motorhead......I said nearly !

 

[Rooboy 96]

Roooooooooooooooosy

The fact he needs to tell them (us included) basic s**t is a concern.

 

[Snake_Baker]

+stupid sh*t like Gary Rohan ahead of Cunners.
He can do it all the old Roosy

What did he exactly do for Melbourne? Told them they needed more hard nosed contested ball winners?

FFS, I could have done that, give me the job!

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

Weren't you saying it was predominantly a recruiting role? Specifically trying to sell the club to prospective targets etc

Correct. It was apparently going to be a role in “recruiting” is what was posted. Nothing really about mentoring

 

[The Y Factor]

Surely Roosy would want Brown

I don't know that Gen Y/Z footballers are ready for Snake Baker

 

[The Dingrel]

Hmmmmmm.......why would ya call the death ride a win? or just being facetious?

It remains to be seen doesn't it,,,,,lets call it optimistic.

No flags for Brady unfortunately
