List Mgmt. 2020 Trade Thread - Part I

[Jack Stevens]

Matthew Lloyd and Caroline Wilson are adamant that Tim Taranto is the number one target for the Saints this year

 

[OxSaint]

I like the idea of draft and moneyball types to improve midfield and key defensive depth.

There is still plenty of junk at the bottom of our pecking order that are not young developing kids.

 

[Jack Stevens]

Jinx!!!

 

[Hayes4PM]

Farkin hell, I mean every club would want Taranto but he’s contracted, and how the **** are we pulling this off with a pick around 12 - 15??????

I’m all about it don’t get me wrong but we must be trading out a decent player if we’re any chance.

Lloyd just said on Footy Classified that Taranto is number 1 on our board right now. We are going very hard.

Caro backed it up.

Well that is big news , he is perfect for us - will cost 2 first round picks , but well worth it.

 

[Ducky Tie]

Good to see the Noosa war room is getting busy.

 

[BrutThough]

Won the giants bnf last year.

Will be 23 next year, 187cm, inside mid and a Sandy boy. Bring him home.

Just shows contracts are worthless - if someone wants out you can't stop them and even there manager said if they don't want to be he go - So hopefully he wants out.

Where you getting two first rounders from?

 

[Ricmel]

Gws will want our next 5 first round picks I reckon.

Think this is a play for something else.

I understand when i first came on here i stated Jye was keen to come to the club, and that was certainly the case at the time as our offer far outweighed the one from GWS . But today i have been told after returning to Sydney JC has informed us this arvo of his current intentions to stay at the giants. We threw a deal at him which in totality was upwards of 3m over 5 years. Clearly a disappointing result on face value but their will be advantages down the track with that money being spent equally and efficiently on our current crop of rising stars. Retention is going to be crucial to our success in the future.
In more positive news, Benny Paton will sign his deal shortly, Higgins is firmly in play, and Lethers, Gubby and the banker are doing their best to improve the list for next year and beyond. 3 days away from our first finals win in 10 years! can't wait.
*when the facts change, i am happy to report them, don't shoot the messenger*

Okay Jye, I know you’re sitting back in your Sydney apartment reading all this fan based trade stuff. My recommendation is you ignore all of these irrational posters on this site. They do get very emotional.

I just want talk man to man. Or Doctor to young lad if you will.

Just the two of us.

Forget about all that outside noise. Forget about the coaches. Forget about the managers. Forget about family members.

This has nothing to do with any of them.

This is simply a decision you need to make with your best interests your sole concern.

Now, come closer and let the good doctor offer you some words of advice. Sound advice.

Come closer.

Closer.

Closer still.

Now.....




I understand you’re thinking seriously about staying at GWS.



Okay...

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Where you getting two first rounders from?

Agreed. He’ll cost an arm and leg.

 

[BrutThough]

Good thing the AFL gives a club one every year.

2020 and 2021.

 

[longlivelenny]

Have a bulge in my pants thinking about Taranto coming across. Would be perfect for our club. Give away 2 first rounders with nothing back, I don't care. Just make it happen.

Did you guys trade first rounders last year?

 

[Diehard Saint]

Caro backed it up.

Caro also said we’re not interested in Crouch - too old.

 

[BrutThough]

We traded our 2019 first rounder but kept our one for this year.

 

[John2010362340]

Shit just got Real!

 

[Giant Pete]

We traded our 2019 first rounder but kept our one for this year.

So what’s the rule with trading this years and next years after already trading 2019s?

 

[12Chill]

Did you guys trade first rounders last year?

Yep, pretty sure we split 1 for 2, using one in the Hill deal and the other in the Howard/Ryder deal IIRC.

Used our firsts in 2017 and 2018.

I have no idea how we’d get the chips to get Taranto if there’s any truth to the rumour. Not sure exactly how it works, is it that we have to use 2 first rounders in any 4 year period? So trading this years is no problem but next years we need I think? Unless we find a way to trade back into it.

 

[mighty_sainters]

Taranto!!!!

I knew I loved trade period more than finals.

 

[Giant Pete]

It’s probably something the club would look at tbh. We’ve got Tom Green and Caldwell who struggle to get a game, and we are full of inside mids.

 

[BrutThough]

Clubs have to use two first round draft pick over a 4 year period.

We have used 3 over the past 4 years - 2017-2020 - so would be fine to trade this years under the rules.

 

[Ducky Tie]

It’s probably something the club would look at tbh. We’ve got Tom Green and Caldwell who struggle to get a game, and we are full of inside mids.

I just don’t see why the Giants would entertain the idea of Taranto leaving in any way while he’s contracted. 22 years old, b&f winner, former pick 2. Surely you’d just flat out say no deal.

Your not meant to do it 3 years running but no one has never been stopped - Hawks have not used a first round pick in the draft for gods knows , the same as the Cats / so we should be able to.
