List Mgmt. AFC - 2014 Drafting and Trading

[Crouch#44]

Cavs were a very mediocre team who lucked into the #1 pick 3 out of the last 4 years, twice when they have less than a 2% chance of doing so. That's the only reason they are where they are and why LeBron went back and why they could trade for Love. If you think the Cavs are a well operated team, then you're crazy. They're the very definition of shitting bricks and getting gold in return.

Your 100% correct - lucky James wanted to return home & lucky to win the lottery pick but still the cards fell there way and "lucky" now they will be a force!
All I am pointing out is free agency and trade season anything can happen. It's not all mastermind
Sometimes it's the cards falling the right way

Pick 9 to Essendon, Paddy Ryder to Brisbane, Aish to Adelaide?

 

[Draft Bored]

Love how people say midfielders like Dangerfield are a dime a dozen...Name me another inside midfielder with Danger's athleticism and ability to turn a game on its head like he has shown in the past.

Fyfe.

Assuming we're not getting Cameron, I'm all for this

 

[TexMachine]

This thread is like a big night out with the boys, where you head out to a club, have way too many too early, end up throwing up and falling asleep in the toilets. Just waiting to wake and get that second wind and hit the bar again.

 

[Freddy Bassett]

There's no way they will trade Danger for any other player, memberships alone would suffer too much. Danger and Tex are untradable purely from a PR perspective, let alone their talent and match winning ability. I could see Sloane and pick 10 for JC being worth consideration...prob not good enough for GWS though.

Sloane? You are crazy

 

[GROTTO]

Fyfe.

I dont think Danger wins us enough games single handedlly against good opposition. Still too many clangers.

I also think he lacks poise after getting possession close to goal or after taking a mark inside 30m from goal.

Except wouldn't Ryder be a free agent due to the drugzzz?

Not from what I understand, the Dons are in the box seat as he is still on their list to trade him otherwise he goes into the draft.

Surely this is a win-win-win. Bigger win for us IMO. But still a fairly good deal for all.

 

[Glenny83]

Take note of the NBA and how the operate!
E.g - the cavs went from a team full of young talent and the top draft pick = they extanged some of that talent and cave away the draft pick to gain the best player through free agency and a all star through trade. Then got in some experienced players for peanuts

They went from shit to a likely title contender very quickly!!

Point is anything is possible and don't discount the shit teams from being active this off season

AFL isn't the NBA, we're just not there yet!

 

[GROTTO]

Talia on AFL360 now.

Actually if he can walk away from the contract due to a breach by the club, he becomes an unrestricted free agent and Essendon get nothing in way of compensation is my understanding.

 

[Glenny83]

I th

Pick 9 to Essendon, Paddy Ryder to Brisbane, Aish to Adelaide?

we can do better than Aish with our pick...maybe Durdan, lever, ahern or laverde being possibilities, their worth has real potential.

 

[MyLittleSloaney]

Aish will be a gun and I would comfortably throw pick 9 his way rather than risk it on a KPD

 

[Crouch#44]

AFL isn't the NBA, we're just not there yet!

it is following the direction off season wise

 

[GROTTO]

Aish will be a gun and I would comfortably throw pick 9 his way rather than risk it on a KPD

Correct weight. With just one preseason, Aish had a great year for a junior debut kid. I think he will develop better than a risk pick 9.

Pick 9 is no guarantee of a gun. Aish has demonstrated the qualities where he could be a gun.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Why would fagan go and meet with walker and slone first then call danger late at night?

By the way walker and slone won't be going anywhere in a hurry

You're contacts are not so good...

 

[Crouch#44]

off the topic but freo have been hunting a big name the last few seasons any news of a big name this season they may target

 

[Crouch#44]

You're contacts are not so good...

your call

 

[dogs105]

Unless he has snuck back to Mount Gambier things should be interesting, Im sure he media network must have caught on to this story and are investigating.

He is in The Mount at the moment.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Melbourne bloke suggested

Pick 2 , toumpas and draw keys compo
For danger and pick 9

Danger has ruled out going to Melbourne or any lower club which is nowhere near a flag!

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

your call

Correct call!

 

[Crouch#44]

Correct call!

fine with me

 

[Smithalicious]

You said.
He said.

Move on.

 

[MRB37]

Pick 9 to Essendon, Paddy Ryder to Brisbane, Aish to Adelaide?

Would do it every day of the week, but I think Brisbane can get Ryder for free can't they?
