List Mgmt. 2024 List Management thread - Trade Targets Part 2

[Joao]

He's ain't leaving and we don't push best 22 players out that want to play for us

Don't need to push, just need to select Draper over him sometime next year. Then it will be his idea. If his form is anything like this year (I know injuries) then it won't even have to be contrived.


I don't think we get value for money out of Cox or Darcy. I'd want to see their best next year or I am perfectly comfortable with either leaving to bring in a player that will give us more.

a forward line of
pickett amiss jackson
switta treacy bolton

bench: sturt is an insane forwardline.

 

[Sherriff Incorporated]

Imagine Garlick and the management group meeting On Monday. They would have been worried how the club will deal with bitterly disappointed supporters. Wednesday he calls a meeting on how the club will keep a lid on the uber excited , orgasmic supporters .

It would be like our forward line if we got Picket and Bolton in terms of going from the sublime to the ridiculous. Eg just like a forward line requiring skill and pace getting two super quick and skillful one touch players.

 

[Purple Suit]

I'm good with it. If Warner was 100% happening you'd have to think about it but it's very likely he just stays in Sydney. No brainer for me. Get these 2 now.

I still think Warner is more likely than Pickett. Melbourne are going to need a big shove before they concede and burn their list to the ground.

 

[Bicco]

Unfortunately you do if you want to be successful.

 

[Deathly]

The let down when we don't get Pickett and it's "ONLY" Bolton...

But imagine if Pickett & Bolton ends up being Hogan and Lobb 2.0.

[Heave Ho Bro]

I feel bad for Liam Henry if Pickett leaves.

 

[PeopleEater]

I’m not sure the AFL will sign off on it. Freo will be hogging all the flags plus mark and goal of the year.

I was thinking that the VAFL would put in some bullshit clause change on the eve of trade week so as we could not recruit the dynamic duo if they were both confirmed to come to us or send Methcoast a priority R1 pick for losing Barrass just to shaft us.

 

[Alfonz]

We can do it.
Next year, Warner out of contract. Salary might be tight but I’d be looking at chopping the Banfield, etc anyone on short contracts above minimum wage

I would guess Banfield might be the opposite. I can see him being one we keep if he plays on for minimum chips because his family wealth is enough. Willie Creek Pearls were turning over 10 million in revenue in 2014 and have kept growing (21 million last year). And from what I've read, it is a reasonably profitable industry. I can legit see Banfield on our list until he is 32 and people keep melting when we sign him up for another 2.

 

[Cam Payne]

This season was crazy for us, but it looks like the off season should check in to Alma Street. Even though they couldn't help Benny Cousins they might help a few of us.

Banfield be giving everyone's partners pearl necklaces. (wholesome)

Pies don't have the draft captial to land Lukosius. Wonder why that would be...

Them and Port missing on targets because of no capital

 

[Lach72]

Rude of the AFL not to cancel finals so trade week can be brought forward tbh

 

[Lach72]

Them and Port missing on targets because of no capital

Be death riding like a champ for Port to go out in straight sets

 

[dropbear101]

Be death riding like a champ for Port to go out in straight sets

the deathride is on

 

[MadMundy]

Imagine we get Bolton and Pickett this year, Warner next year and then get Schultz back for cheap down the line, best small forward depth in the league,

was homesick the gun forward wasn't considering a trade.

"He's got a new, beautiful little baby and his family's, some in South Australia, some in WA and yes, he gets homesick, but we work through that with Kozzy, that's not a new thing," she said.

Asked if she was concerned it could escalate into a trade request, Roffey said no.

"I've been told that's not even a consideration from his management," she said.

They'll say that for now, closer to the trade period though he'll make it I reckon.

That was fun while it lasted.

 

[rgauci]

What would a best 22 look like with Pickett and Bolton?

Very good.

 

[Docker82]

I hate it, but I'd accept it.

We seem to be able to identify and develop rucks pretty well, so no doubt we'd find a replacement.

Odin Jones could probably cover, and Kuek has done stints anyway

I just think we’ve got to give a player up of reasonable value if both these trades are to happen. Murphy and perhaps Simpson or Erasmus are the others if you’re younger players with potential rather than best 22 players.

Players like Brodie, Emmett, Reidy or Aish aren’t going to add much value to any trade I’m afraid.

Whilst I think Knobel looks talented and having him fill in for Darcy in two years time rather than Reidy would be ideal, I think we can manage without him tbh.

 

[MadMundy]

Imagine this lineup:

Ryan, Cox, Chapman
Clark, Pearce, Walker
Sharp, Brayshaw, O'Driscoll
Bolton, Treacy, Frederick
Jackson, Amiss, Pickett
Darcy, Serong, Young
Switkowski, Sturt, Johnson, Fyfe, Wagner

I guarantee I've missed someone but please tell me if I have.

 

[Freoforever86]

If I were Fyfe, I'd be thinking long and hard about making a personal sacrifice to free up some money to get the salaries of Bolton/Pickett over the line. Every 100k helps. If he's on 400k then he could offer to play on for 100k. He's made millions from playing and investments (e.g. Pirate Life). Should be set for life.

Bit more difficult for Sonny, as he would have made good coin along the way, but nowhere near as much as Fyfe. But we could strike a deal to employ him long term as an assistant coach from 2026 onwards (or 2025 if he retires) at an inflated salary.

I’m not necessarily disagreeing, but unless he’s a guaranteed part of our 22 why would he? He’s already given a lot to freo. Doesn’t owe us anything imo
