List Mgmt. 2023 Trade Thread - Part II

[kernelT]

Why is dandenong nowhere near the dandenong ranges?

I think this will be covered in part V of the trade thread 23 series.

Word has it that Carlton have him , brother being there swayed him I think.

Doesn't mean we didn't chase him. It's a bit like everyone whinging we didn't get Bowes last year.

We chased but he nom'ed Geelong, what are we supposed to do? Kidnap him and coerce him into signing a contract?

Great Afghani food in Dandy

Went there once in the last 20 years and I’m not going back for food, plenty of great places to eat where I live.

 

[kernelT]

100% there is a restaurant on the main road best food!

Username checks out after a big night on the curries.

I’m not racist but… Why is Thai food actually Chinese food in most of Australia?

 

[gringo2011]

Does Hollands come with pick 13? Are we chasing Sheil? Are we not chasing Hollands?

Still takes time and energy that they could be putting into improving the list instead of dreaming up exotic bets to bring in random picks. We get very ADHD at trade time.

 

[Yawkey way]

Shiel is a net negative IMO. If it was 1 year, it's not terrible but if we have to chew up salary cap for 3 or 4, it's a firm NO from me.

The best option in all this is to pay Gresh and get him to stay, but if the little campaigner wants to be blatantly overpaid for another 3-4 years good luck to him.

Take the pick 30ish, give it to Freo for Henry. Move on.

Would rather see Stocker/Windhager get midfield minutes. Plus, Owens, and potentially Dow getting midfield time.

Yes we need midfielders, but we need A graders. Pointless otherwise. The last thing we need is another ball butcherer clogging up the midfield.

Bank the cap room, we need it for Ben King.

I really rate stocker and think he can go into the mids but Shiel is when fit unlike anyone on our list and would be good for at least a couple of years.

Not around my way it’s not.

 

[Joffaboy]

That's because it's a pretty ordinary draft with picks 7 to 20 something not that different in quality. I'd rather take our picks as they fall than move up to 7.

Agreed, if we cant trade up to top 5, just use the frdp's. Its not like we will get absolute busts. Hell we got Sharman and Caminiti for FA, Naz was 13, Battle is goin well for a 39 dp etc.

We might not get a Bont, but maybe a Viney

At least we will be getting a good one in Henry, people don't realize how good this can be - he only really got his s/it together this year and if anyone saw his game against the Dogs round 15 where he picked 3 Brownlow votes know we have a very talented player coming to us.

See your first quote for details on the second

Do you live in Bangkok? Good Thai food there.

 

[kernelT]

Are yaks and cows the same thing?

&

Are there any other flavours in Mongolia outside of Mongolian beef?

 

[gringo2011]

Their scraps are also hard to get. As we found out with Flanders, and we will find out about with Hollands and others.

Take the academy off them. These elite kids should be in the general draft pool. It’s obscene.

He stopped being scraps. There are still guys like Hollands, Sharp, Davies, Moyle, Jeffery, Burgess, Chol that could be picked off.

Are the STKFC driving the exotic bets? Could have sworn the Ross Lyon said he had no idea where it come from and it wasn't driven by the Saints.
Maybe they are putting all their time and energy into Holland, after all they were all there, including the coach watching him in the VFL granny.

 

[Sully111]

I just hope Gresh goes.

If he's not going to play forward I can't watch another season of his poor field kicking.

I honestly think we'll be better off without him.

 

[beside the seaside]

Unless they want to keep Sheil, why would Essendon fans be fuming at it?

At least 750k better off on TPP
Swap a 26 y.o Gresham for a 31 y.o Sheil
Get a second round pick

What is so bad about that deal?

What's bad about it for them? Paying Gresh 800k a year for a start.

 

[SaintJunior]

Can’t get a kick at vfl level.

Laughable that Ned Moyle and Max Heath were picked after him in mid season draft.

Averaged 5 disposals a game and 5 hit outs a game and kicked 3 goals for the season.

I'm not sure what restaurants you're going to boss. Thailand has a culinary diplomacy program and designed the International Thai restaurant set up. They have helped fund restaurants world wide and are some of the most saturated cuisines in the world. Perhaps your local Chinese got funded to set up a "Thai" restaurant but only got as far as the signage.

Stranger that you can't find old school Aussie Chinese outside Australia. Where did we come up with that set up from? They started here in the gold rush and pretty uniquely Oz.

Yeah it’s usually the Aussie Chinese joints that have Thai dishes on their (72 page) menu, never seen it the other way around.

 

[bird_man]

I’d rather match and make the bastards trade for him.

Why though?

They aren't going to give us anything better than an end of first in a trade

 

[gringo2011]

Do you live in Bangkok? Good Thai food there.

I remember hitting Thailand as a 19 year old and wondering WTF was going on with the food, they weren't like the local Thai. The veggies look familiar but all have weird textures and tastes. Bitter eggplants that look like peas, beans that are like the texture of leather and unidentifiable meats and proteins and the ****ers liked to troll dumb Aussie hippies by making the food so hot you cried.

Well you need to hit up some regional towns, absolute vintage lemon chicken, sweet & sour pork and that weird spam fried rice that’s nearly deep fried.
I guess I’m talking suburban and country Thai places fUsIoN (Chinese)
Dodee paidang is pretty legit, I always leave crying and blowing my nose like a chump.

Whatever it takes.
