List Mgmt. AFC - 2014 Drafting and Trading

[Sanders]

Don't let your cynicism get in the way of a good story eh?

IMO a "pure footballer" is someone who:
- knows how to find the footy
- makes good decisions
- doesn't panic under pressure
- has clean hands
- always seems to be a step ahead of the play in terms of anticipating ball and player movement.

yeah nah. I'm sticking with my earlier call

Incidentally how do you square that random definition with GHS? Who that clearly does not describe

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Anyone who said they were keen on Frawley, was your mouth out with vinegar and watch today's replay. His disposal by foot is atrocious!

I tell you who impressed me today: Colin Garland :0

Never thought much of him previously (good or bad) but he was good defensively, is deceptively quick and he was the Melb defender who rotated through different types of opponents the most (mixture of smalls and talls).

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

FYI guys, David Noble is at Giants-Cats. Notepad, iPad and binoculars in hand haha

I know for a fact that Noble is very keen on Plowman

 

[anonymous Derik]

I think the first thing our recruiters should look at is "can the lad actually play footy". Athleticism/size/xfactor should be secondary. Just my opinion.

Yeah I agree it annoys me a bit that players like Caleb Daniel is rated by some as a top five player in this draft but because he's small he'll probably be lucky to be picked in the 3rd rnd.
(Brent Harvey and Peter Bell say hi by the way)

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I know for a fact that Noble is very keen on Plowman

I would love to have him

Would be very happy if we landed Mr Plowman

[I Lost My Keays]

what would Plowman cost us though?

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

I would love to have him

He is out of contract and we gave kept in close contact with his management however we won't be the only club

However one thing that we can offer him is opportunity, with Truck retiring Talia is the only best 22 KPD certainty and there would be no reason why Plowman could not challenge and push past others fighting for that 2nd or 3rd KPD spot

I wonder what he'd be worth, surely has decreased in value, would think our pick this year would be around the mark.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

what would Plowman cost us though?

$300k or a bit more per season

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

He's a first rounder (top ten) but has done bugger all so far. Pick 18-22 maybe?

Or Otten

Otten and Third Rounder

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Still a number 3 pick and will be chased by quite a few Victorian based clubs

IMO $300k or a little more per season

 

[spenze]

Otten and Third Rounder

So 2 third rounders then

 

[Mike Smyth]

No, 50s I think

Try a $100k, minimum.

Sounds promising.

 

[Elite Crow]

Try a $100k, minimum.

I was referring to draft position

woops wrong post. I meant to reply to Hey Shorty's post.

 

[MRB37]

Would he have been checking out Phil Davis too?

 

[The Kedge]

Would he have been checking out Phil Davis too?

Rooch, is that you?

 

[Superstar swan]

Heard a few whispers of a certain team that starts with COLA who might be looking at our #32...surely to god not.

Sorry to intrude , not here to troll. But you 99.9% rule a line through swans as a potential destination for danger. Without one of our gun mids leaving, there is no room for him in the cap, besides I think the club will be busy looking at getting some depth into our kpd stocks. I for one would be extremely surprised if danger left the crows , he just seems like a one club player

 

[Sanders]

on the vaguest unlikely chance there is a slight hint of truth in this latest rumour Plowman is a no.3 pick coming off his first contract. He'd cost at least our first pick ++

 

[captainMyCaptain]

He is out of contract and we gave kept in close contact with his management however we won't be the only club

Plowman actually re-signed with us last month and is now contracted until 2016
