List Mgmt. 2020 Trade Thread - Part I

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Just remember we don't get anyone decent at trade time.

Who can remember the last time someone nominated us as their preferred club?

Tom Hickey IIRC

no billy longer!

 

[BrutThough]

That‘s not entirely correct has trained as both defender & Forward most of preseason

Because of Covid restrictions with limits on number of players they are unable to train as normal.

According to Ratten he plays either end , think the midfield experiment has ceased.

Ratten may acknowledge he can play both ends, but the fact he has been placed with the defenders during this period despite the lack of key forwards tells me the club is currently views him as a defender first.

There is a key forward spot up for grabs depending if Ratts wants to only play 1 ruck (which he said will happen), yet they have kept him with the defenders clearly behind Carlisle and Howard.

 

[BrutThough]

membrey, battle, roma resting forward, marsh, that lawyer kid from perth.. bing

Of those you listed only 1 is a forward who is contracted at the club beyond this year.

 

[ScrappyDo]

Never been more confident about player at StKilda ...does that help.

Skill Level ....Elite .......kicks both feet , strong fearless , elite vision, attitude to doing extras .

Roughead is really focused on his development , listens & takes in what he & Hannebery say.

Really disappointed he didn’t play in Hawthorn practice game myself with some minutes on
Mitchell.

Shoe size??

 

[Impatient Saint]

I think a big area of concern is a 2nd key forward.

We have King and Membrey - who is sized to play as the 3rd tall - but no one else beyond them. I wouldn't want to go into another season without another feasible option in that position.

Agree thats why I cant believe they havent moved Battle forward again! Be interested to see where he lines up in this weeks scratch match as we have a plethora of tall backs and no tall forwards excluding the rookie Mayo.

It's an interesting situation with Battle and Carlisle. Carlisle is our best CHB and I'm completely on board with the Carlisle/Howard/Wilkie trio down back. What concerns me is the talk of Carlisle leaving at the end of this year. If he is to leave, Battle/Howard/Wilkie looks good too, but if we don't play Battle much during the year, I can see him walking. Don't know the solution to this because there really isn't a need for another tall in the team at the moment.

 

[Ricochet]

What I'd do for Matt Rowell right now. Has to be the biggest built 18 year old I've ever seen.

That boy is a off spring of c.ling just with a better build. His mum might be a body builder.

 

[Ricochet]

I keep hearing people talk about all this promise paddy showed. I never saw it. He had no natural forward craft, was slow, short and diabetic. He had no understanding of leading patterns and regularly cut his teammates off in leads. The few times he got near the ball he missed completely or dropped the mark. I will never for the life of me understand how we justified him at 1.

If patty didn't have his head knocks and was showing a bit would we have drafted king

Yes, king is a once in a generation player, steal at 4

 

[saints2066]

I think we don’t really need to draft anyone. I can see butler and lonie snagging just as many as a betts. Lonie is really improved and kicking set shots, butler is revitalised at another club. There is still a lot more upside to our current list. Zak Jones might just become that elite inside mid. Jb to be more consistent. Roma to be as good as a Grundy. Hill. King to kick 100 goals a season!gresh to consistently get 25-30. I think marsh or battle up forward will also create that chf marking option, if members gets beaten, hopefully not against Howe this week.

Great assessment and I have complete faith in your confidence. How long before he makes his debut do think Stew?

 

[Gosaints12]

Anyone know what time the scratch match is?

Training today : Battle played forward in match simulation.

Long was on modified training might not play ...Webster trained well.

Pretty light session overall , Roughead was in charge .

Main focus transition of ball , overlap running a feature.

Probably.

Love hearing about the focus on transition! Looks like it's paid off too if last week is anything too go by.

I think gresh is the most frustrating player on the list. Very in and out

One of those new sponsors or BIG $$$ donors Caro was talking about I’m guessing...

 

[Ricochet]

If battle is not getting game time this season. Will he be trade bait come trade period I can't imagine he would stay at a club not playing in the senior side

Looks like a very successful man who may bring some financial benefit to the Saints

Just hope there’s no downside
