List Mgmt. List management for 2016

[JimmyBeerCans]

Now I want us to trade Young and keep O'Shea, just for the lulz. Will be like gooey melted cheese in this thread

You sure do want Young to fail for an "I told you so" moment

 

[Portology]

Can't believe O'Shea to Carlton hasn't got any traction. With his turnovers we could win the Carlton game next year.

with his turnovers to *Carlton* players Carlton could win a lot more games next year...

 

[RossFC]

We are not trading 13 players.

Probs 2-4.

no we arent, but the fact that we have so many players on the 'trade bait' list shows that we are kicking players up the arse to play better for longer periods and more consistently

All I'll say is if Lobbe and O'Shea are still on our list at the end of the trade period I'll be pulling my hair out.

Stop taking it so personal, dude. I actually said it more as a 'Young is good, O'Shea is shit - let's trade the good one and keep the shit one' type deal.

 

[Coobk001]

We are not trading 13 players.

Probs 2-4.

Likely 1-2
Unlikely 3-4
Extremely unlikely 5+

Most likely to go in order IMO:
O'Shea - Certain to be bait for a trade to get us into the 2nd round
Lobbe - Might be offered up but likely to be held onto as he may not command a worthwhile trade
AhChee - Will certainly be offered up, however not sure there'll be many takers.
Amon - Same as AhChee
Hartlett - Unlikely to agree to trade and we're unlikely to get the early first round pick that we would expect for him
Young - If the price is right I'm sure we'll accomodate a trade, however there'll be desire to keep him here
S Gray - Would be put out there but unlikely to command a trade worthy of completing the deal, he's also unlikely to agree to move
Neade - Extremely unlikely to find any way of trading him in a worthwhile deal
Broady - Almost certain to disagree to a trade.
Jonas - Unlikely to be any interest.
Krak - As per Jonas
Stewart - Certain to be no interest
Toumpas - Certain to be no interest

 

[rumoursofwinter]

I want to trade 13 players. It's history for the making.

Neade
Broady
Monfries
HH
O'Shea
Toumpas
Lobbe
Westhoff
Young
Ah Chee
Jonas
S. Gray
Krak

 

[mightypowerrrr]

I have 14 players:

Neade
Broadbent
Hartlett
O’Shea
Stewart
Amon
Toumpas
Lobbe
Ah Chee
Jonas
Sam Gray
Krackour
Young
Monfries
Westhoff

 

[rumoursofwinter]

That's 15!

 

[Alberton Proud]

Surely it will be more than 1 or 2

If 13 are up then the number's got to be closer to 4 or 5

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Although I think we'll be active in the trade period that number will never happen it's just to put the wind up a few in reality.

 

[David Puddy]

13 - brilliant. I'd be more comfortable knowing that the following 10 are definitely on that list;

Neade
Broadbent
Hartlett
O'Shea
Stewart
Toumpas
Lobbe
Westhoff
Ah Chee
Sam Gray

 

[Coobk001]

The 13 number is a load of garbage. Every single year we'd walk in with 10-20 names on our possible trades list.

At the end of the day they've also got to do a satisfactory deal. We also dont have many, if anyone, that actually wants out at the moment. So all these point to a pretty standard trade period.

The crazy trade out everyone crap going on around this forum wont be going on internally. The list managers at the club are not as crazy, and not as willing to see us plummet down the ladder in a rebuild.

People ultimately go into trade period like it seems you will, expecting record trading numbers, and then after nothing happens and the usual 1-2 moves are made then they all complain.

Let's be realistic, we're putting a lot of names out there to see what we could get for them, but we aren't just going to throw them away. We've got great depth at the moment and we're not going to trade out ready to go players for picks 50+, it would make zero sense and it would be bad list management.

We'll try and trade into the 2nd round, and even the first with Hammer, and if teams dont come to the party I'm sure we will hold our nerve and keep the players. That's why IMO, I expect O'Shea to go, and then likely 1 more trade is done to free cap space or get another 2nd round pick, and then if someone offers something really good for 1 more of our players we may get another deal done. Otherwise for me it's likely to be a 1-2 trade out period.

 

[Doctor Feel]

The logistics of trading a pile of players is so difficult that it's highly unlikely. I would say 3 maximum, likely two.

 

[pastmyprimus]

If Port underperforms next year, you won't need a whiteboard reveal to know which coach hasn't met Port's standards for success.

 

[David Puddy]

Everyone knows that 13 will never happen, but it's nice to know that the club finally acknowledges that this group isn't going to get us where we want to go.

 

[rumoursofwinter]

I'd be surprised if we don't trade at least 4 players.

Lobbe - he still has currency. (Richmond / freo?)
Jonas / O'Shea - at least one goes.
Hamish / Broady - free up some $. High value.
Ah Chee / S. Gray / Young - at least one goes looking for a longer contract.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

I reckon 4 is a chance but it's highly dependant on what value other clubs place on our players, lets say 3 to 4 does happen and you throw in a few more delistings it would probably end up around the right mark for our situation.

 

[Steve Dore]

The club may be putting 13 names to other clubs as possible trades but there is no way we are going to trade 1/3 of our list (40 - delistings and retirement). As others have posted we'd be lucky to trade 3 players tops.

 

[ctpower]

13 - brilliant. I'd be more comfortable knowing that the following 10 are definitely on that list;

Neade
Broadbent
Hartlett
O'Shea
Stewart
Toumpas
Lobbe
Westhoff
Ah Chee
Sam Gray

That's a good list

 

[Willsy10]

I think 2 or 3 players will get traded. Hoping for Oshea, Lobbe and Hartlett.

 

[David Puddy]

Yep, throw Neade in as well and I'll be happy. Westhoff would be nice too, wouldn't have given it any chance of happening before what came out today though.

 

[Doctor Feel]

I'd be happy with Lobbe and O'shea, wouldn't want to trade Hartlett unless we got an excellent deal. I've got an increasing desire to see Broadbent out the door though.

 

[Ateen7tee]

If at the end of trade period we have only traded out O'shea, the melts on this board will be of volcanic proportions!
