Strategy 2021 Draft and Hypothetical pick trade proposals

[Strapping Young Lad]

Lol seriously can we just have a ban on posting things ol clickbait Kornes says…

none of it is interesting and it’s all designed to just stir people up.

Hodgey wants a new rule! Hodgey gets a new rule.

No more clickbait shit from Cornes in here.


Also:

Can we also threadban Rendell quotes. The bloke is senile.

Done

A lot of hate for Ceglar on this board, but in the grand scheme of things he is capable of far better football than Darcy Fort

. His best is very good... let's hope Geelong aren't able to bring it out of him more often than we were.

That said, it was a mistake to re-sign him for 3 years way back when. Should have made the move while he had better value.

Getting the third rounder back allows us some more flexibility to make some draft night moves if a player we're after is available at a certain point, much the same as we did to get Brockman last season, and for Kosi 2 years prior.

I think they will tread carefully regarding sponsorship dollars next year.

Haha. If they are paying more than $50 a day for these buffoons they need more than their tyres looked at.

 

[VandoHawk]

Pass. Let's have a look at Callow aye. Brander is a bit of a squib

At his age I think he wouldn't be a bad choice as a DFA. A lot to gain and only one year on the list to lose if it doesn't work. Hendo was very squibby at Adelaide but he worked out.

 

[MrPremiership]

that's a poor deal for us on Ceglar.

Spin it how you like, but its poor

 

[TazHawk15]

Wonder if Continental Tyres will return..

The thing never really had any TRACTION.

 

[Back Pocket Rocket]

A little drive by from you on the way out but tend to agree . Was too timid to be our starting ruck.

No drive by. Been saying it for 3 years. I'm the 1st to go in to bat for our players but Ceglar did my head in.

 

[Pessimistic]

‘it’s in the hodge, Mitchell, Lewis, Birchall trade range

 

[Toasted]

Yeah I thought Timmy and Cegs would get us a couple of 3rd rounders

 

[Stranglers]

Doesn't stop them pumping it up.

 

[Jake_09]

Brander lol. Must be a that simmo missed all those years .

Same could’ve been said about Scrimshaw

 

[Wesley2]

Im not gonna lose any sleep over a future fourth rounder, a young ruck duo is exciting

 

[Jazzfan]

that's a poor deal for us on Ceglar.

It's been a pretty poor trade period to be honest mate.

Can't fault the intent, but to walk away without an extra first, let alone an extra top 10 pick, is really disappointing and not what the club would have expected.

At the end of the day, there just wasn't enough interest from other clubs. Especially Victorian based.

Blerg.

 

[Mercy Seat]

I don’t think they wanted him as much as we needed to move him on (as we’d committed to Max). We got screwed but what choice did we have

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

King and Joey are such an upgrade on Trade Radio.

 

[Harper_Hawk]

2 year deal for Cegs and a house down on the coast.

well played big man.

How we’re paying part of his salary? Why. We’re paying to kick him out the door and then play for one of our greatest rivals.

[Pessimistic]

Losing chad or Bruest for an upgrade of pick 24 by eleven places (half of which we lost with meaningless wins) does not sound like a good deal.

13-24 range of picks - anything could happen in the draft (or draft trading - future picks etc)

Because he's on 350-400k and literally no-one wanted him at that price

Clearly think the draft/rookie draft could have some gems.

Not sure top 10 was the goal, think it was adding picks inside 30.....and there is still time to do that until and on draft night.

Can't fault the intent.



Think the biggest lost opportunity is for the Top 8 clubs chasing Melbourne. None of them have improved their lists. Some arguably weaker (Cats losing Clark, Swans losing Dawson)

Especially after the spin from the club that players would be up for trade.

We needed to be bolder and accelerate this re-build. Very disappointing.

At his best, Ceglar is a very decent tap ruckman, takes a good grab and scraps well at ground level. At his worst, he is easily pushed aside, has hard hands and gets in the way. He is like a lot of players - some genuine ability but not the full package. He makes more sense with Geelong than Hawthorn. They still feel they are in the window, whereas we will be very happy with a 2007 year next season.

But we are also giving them another 30yo.

Don’t worry because the cliff the Handbaggers are about to fall off in the next few years, they would struggle to be a worthy rival to the Box Hill Hawks.

Online engagement v paid subscription.

Crazy how much of a difference there is in the two products.

 

[Mrzohs]

Ladhams deal no better than Ceglars
