List Mgmt. 2022 Trade Thread - Part III

[botts]

Sounds like we are gonna do something stupid

 

[SaintJunior]

Sometimes you have to be brave and back yourself in.

If we really want 3 and Hunter wants out then offer next years first instead of this years .

Back ourselves in to get two good players in and a year of development into them and back ourselves to finish higher .

If concerned see if North will swap second round selections next year as theirs will be close to a first rounder anyway.

lol - it's a cripple fight between Brady and Gags. Both sets of supporters sphincters are as tight as drums at the moment awaiting the inevitable from our recruiters.

Nice of Brades to give your bloke a ride in this morning though,

This thread is great. The simultaneous butthole puckering from both sets of supporters is hilarious.

This thread is great. The simulatious butthole puckering from both sets of supporters is hilarious.

I would’ve thought both of us lost the ability to pucker years ago

We have one of them already

Think they meant the other way.

That’s alright. They can give us their future first instead of ports if they want

Ruckman Paddy Ryder has retired and the Saints decided they would prefer to lock in a partnership between Ryder and key forward Max King instead of bringing in the dual All-Australian.

Wait what

What's the bet he says at the last minute "nah actually I want to play for Geelong" and then we trade him to them for a future 4th and a pack of twisties, so everyone loses

Yeah... you just know where it's going

Cordy will also help shelter the Saints’ baby key defenders before they are ready for the rigours of regular AFL football.

"baby key defenders" plural? Surely that's only Oscar Adams?

 

[phantom13]

Clark and 9 for 3…

So a former pick 7 who has shown a bit and pick 9 for pick 3… in a year that’s been noted for being pretty flat outside the first couple…

Probably can’t say I’m shocked but Jesus Christ.

 

[gringo2011]

I don’t mind that. If Sydney were keen I’d be keen.

This is an ordinary draft, next is a one in a decade by all reports. We probably finish bottom 6 so giving up heaps to get into a draft others are trading out of.

WHY SAINTS DECIDED AGAINST GRUNDY PLAY

St Kilda considered making a play for traded Collingwood ruckman Brodie Grundy before deciding to install Rowan Marshall as the club’s No.1 ruck for the foreseeable future.

Ruckman Paddy Ryder has retired and the Saints decided they would prefer to lock in a partnership between Ryder and key forward Max King instead of bringing in the dual All-Australian.

They were unapologetic about their quiet trade period, adamant they wouldn’t go “throwing draft picks (and) money out just to finish sixth”.

They signed lockdown defender Zaine Cordy (Western Bulldogs) as a free agent, who could free up Callum Wilkie to play on a third tall forward and take more intercept marks.

Cordy will also help shelter the Saints’ baby key defenders before they are ready for the rigours of regular AFL football.

List boss James Gallagher said supporters, who would have to be in their late 50s to have seen the club’s only premiership in 1966, wouldn’t mind waiting another 12 months to ensure the Saints spiked sharply.

“There’s a real sense of urgency at our footy club to get better and go up the ladder. But we’re not trying to go up the ladder to finish sixth,” Gallagher said.

“We want to be a team that plays at the real pointy end of the year. If that takes a year longer, that’s OK.

“Our supporters are unbelievably patient. They’re passionate, they are loyal and they are patient.”
.
Gallagher said most of the club’s improvement in 2023 would come from their nucleus who missed large chunks of the year through injury.

Top-10 picks Jack Billings and Hunter Clark played just eight games while captain Jack Steele missed a month mid-season.

“All I know is we’ve got a number of good players that we didn’t get a lot out of in 2022 primarily through injury that are going to come back into our side in 2023,” Gallagher said.

“So there’s a lot of growth there. We played some pretty good footy in the first half of the year. We played some pretty ordinary footy in the second half of the year.

“We’re not miles off.”

The Saints had a red-hot crack at free agent Jordan De Goey, but after missing out Gallagher said: “We’re not just going to throw money at getting other players in or another player that becomes available. We’ve got to be really strategic about that”.

Gallagher said picks in the top 25-30 – and the first six – were being tightly held, but he was content with the draft hand and backed recruiter Chris Toce to nail the talent call.

The Saints hold picks 9, 28, 32 and 47.

“We might have a pick inside 10 and then a couple of picks in the second round, which based on what I’ve seen of this year’s draft, that’s a pretty good hand,” he said.

Wouldn't mind coming 6th occasionally.

 

[bird_man]

I reckon the only pick that gets a deal done now is Ports future first

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Well as someone else said.

We can get a first for Wang potentially next year.

Just can’t get excited by this sort of stuff.

Lose a talented kid like Wang and get a first round pick so we can draft a talented kid who will hopefully be as promising as Wang.

We need to improve our stocks not simply swap them like LPG bottles.

North doing North things....
Hunter just needs to suck it up and get better during pre-season.

Get in the gym & put 3kg on, for a start.

How would you know Gallagher you clown

Waiting for the stupid to drop is worse than waiting for Adelaide not to match the Crouch FA bid.

Last 3 trades have all been former Top 10 picks and collectively they've been traded for Pick 45.

Unfortunately "showing a bit" doesn't cut it.

He's definitely saying we're tanking next year
