List Mgmt. AFC - 2014 Drafting and Trading

[GROTTO]

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

Melbourne supporters are on crack cocaine. Danger is more likely to go to Sydney than Melbourne.

 

[FR0GGY]

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

Frawley

 

[GROTTO]

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

I think he would enter the draft if that were to happen and there would be several bottom Victorian Clubs that would go after him IMO, Bullies and Demons for starters. GWS would be interested as well.

 

[Smithalicious]

Can't see it happening but how amazing would it be to get Cameron and keep Danger and our other guns.

Dreams are made of this.

 

[GROTTO]

Brisbane are getting a guy that will fill more of a need for their Club than by the time Aish starts to dominate the game.

 

[NikkiNoo]

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

If Breach of Contract is proved then he becomes an unrestricted free agent is my understanding, so yup, nothing really for Essendon.

 

[GROTTO]

Going after Aish is also contingent on Cameron not being available. This is going to be a fascinating trade time.

Most of the eggs need to go into the Cameron basket, then Aish. I dont think we are any chance to get Frawley.

 

[GROTTO]

If Breach of Contract is proved then he becomes an unrestricted free agent is my understanding, so yup, nothing really for Essendon.

But he could be drafted by the Saints correct?

 

[Elite Crow]

I'm staggered if we really are into Cameron there hasn't been a story since the channel 9 piece

 

[NikkiNoo]

Nope he is an unrestricted free agent. He gets to go where he wants to go and not in the draft.

The benefits of the media PAP Fap.

 

[GROTTO]

This would be the mother of all trades if this were to happen at least since Wayne Carey.

 

[GROTTO]

Nope he is an unrestricted free agent. He gets to go where he wants to go and not in the draft.

Thanks for the clarification. I didnt know that.

 

[Houston]

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

I like this trade. And I think the other parties would like it too.

 

[GROTTO]

I like this trade. And I think the other parties would like it too.

It fills the needs of all 3 Clubs. The Lions may feel a little screwed, but they get a good forward that can ruck.

Dons a pick 9 and us Aish.

 

[TexFactor]

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

The comparison doesn't really work for me...
you can change your entire starting 5 in 1 off season in the NBA as you have shown above, but you cant really engineer 22 player moves in 1 off season of AFL.

A better example of how fast things can turn around, using our own sport, is port...sadly.

Bigger than that

 

[Tex200]

Fishy I reckon ( no pun intended ) - how does such a huge story just appear and then disappears without any kind of follow up or comment.

We also know the Adelaide media patrol this board. I can't believe it hasn't been at least floated as idle trade rumour.

Is it possible the media have been asked to let this go with the promise of all kinds of exclusives if it comes off?

 

[GROTTO]

Bigger than that

Carey was massive. It was explosive. It shocked the nation when it happened.

Dk head - Roochi is too much of a narcissist to not break the story.

 

[Elite Crow]

No

 

[dogs105]

Carey was massive. It was explosive. It shocked the nation when it happened.

But he was a has-been, and the nation had 12 months to get used to the idea. The original incident was much more shocking

 

[TexFactor]

Are there actual rumours Aish wants to come here or are we just pondering cos he is SA?

My point was it took one card to fall for everything to tumble! Off season wise!
Port took appointing a good coach

The same NBA trade period, it was all stale pending on one mans decisions! On that decision Multiple teams plans were altered, and almost strait after his decision players flowed to new teams & undecided free agents re-signed!

Free agency it's a bucket full of hopes n wishes

 

[baldandbroke]

Think about this - just with the part of your brain that ignores logic ...

Danger / Sloane / Tex all take a moderate pay cut to ensure the team stays together.

We get Cameron. He likes what he sees with the above and also likes the look of the new CEO's direction.

Players like Frawley start to think - that club has a good chance of success - I'll go there.

Actually now I've written it down, it looks like a pumped up version of what happened with the Power Got a new admin - kept Boak - kept their young stars - Polec nominated them.

Now switch your brain back on and pretend this never happened ...
