List Mgmt. 2022 Trade Thread - Part I

If young Ben mirrors the actions of Lynch and leaves Gold Coast for us in free agency it will mean that (like Richmond) we will have already won the premiership and he will be the sprinkles on the icing on the cake for more flags.

 

[aussierulesrules]

It feels like we’ve now got a “free hit” at going really hard at others who fit actually pressing needs.

We had all this cap space and picks set aside in case he wanted to come to us and now that we know he isn’t coming, we can maybe throw some Hail Mary’s out there and see if we can land someone like a Butters or Smith.

We’re banned from having anyone named Butters ever walk into the club again

There is a definite synergy with the words Butters and 'free hit'.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Bet we’re now kicking ourselves for not ponying up the future 2nd for Xerri. He’ll probably have taken over from Goldstein by the end of the year and no longer feel the need to leave them.

 

[hayes]

Midfields and speed in the forward line wins flags, I hope we use the majority of picks on those priorities that otherwise would’ve gone for Ben. A key defender wouldn’t go astray either.

 

[botts]

I think I just heard on the news that sinn has signed a contract extension. Big show of faith

It's pretty standard these days to extend first round draft picks pretty quickly.

Yeah there carrying on from some supporters as though he was an absolute crab and not worth even looking at.

It was obvious by his VFL form he has a future.

With Ben King signing on till 2024 with the Suns we are going to have some coin to entice a very good player next year.

If we don't make finals and look like a regular finals side no one of real value will come

Could always get Hanners on a 1 or 2 year extension lol

Unfortunately there'll be half a dozen clubs or more in the same boat.

out of contract at the end of the year.
So is Dunkley.

Drew would be a good pick up, although would rather put time in Owens, Bytel and the likes.

Piece of useless info, I played junior footy with and against Williem

Just follow the white lines...and the dots will connect themselves.

Which is why we need to continue to play him and let him develop.

So far so good, he was also our best key forward again in our intra club.

So far nothing suggests he won't make it.

At the moment I'm more than happy to put in time and effort developing our own promising key forwards rather than getting hung up over another one and suggesting it's a failure if we don't land him.

I think it will be more of a failure if we can't develop our own.

But nothing to me says he isn't a key forward. You don't have to be 200ecm amd 100kg to play as a 2nd tall.

Mitch Geogieardsis agrees with this comment.
That bloke is gonna be a star.

I reckon Caldwell would have been a good pick up.

If they are looking at anyone I would think they would have a good crack at Tim Taranto

then again if Gresham and Bytel have a good season they might look at something else.

If we get 4 good midfielders they might go with progressing with the kids we got this year.
Steele / Crouch / Jones ////// Gresham / Bytel / Clark

In saying that either Gresham , Bytel or Clark have to prove they are up to standard and they have a long way to go to prove it.

 

[Premium]

I reckon Caldwell would have been a good pick up.

They have attempted to find that other star midfielder to go with Merritt - they picked up McGarth from the draft which was a #1 pick , they grabbed Shiel who has not really showed anything great and they will be hoping Caldwell comes good.
Parish would was on the outer the year before last has been awesome and even a fit Stringer has helped bolster there midfield.

Just shows when guys are given a chance they can surprise.
I hope Bytel can do it for us.

 

[Ricmel]

I think Smith is an absolute flog

Lot of our kids know him well. Reckon he is a cracking guy....walks to the beat of his own drum but really good guy. Peers don't usually get that stuff wrong.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Apparently Caro said on radio today that we had a massive crack at Zac Butters, but he’s re-signing with Port.
