List Mgmt. Possible trades for 2016

[Bicks]

What has been wrong with his knee this year though? Is it something that would have ongoing concern?

It's now getting towards 2 years since he last fired a shot in anger, if that doesn't set off alarm bells??

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

DEFINITE NO!!!!!!! .......IMO a disruptive influence within the team / club ....read this and see if you agree / disagree

I agree with the lions that he is not worth $800k pa... But he if he wants a sea change on realistic money, I would be happy to consider him.

 

[Tex200]

I agree with Kristof

Playing Talia, hartigan, Hurley & lever is a tall too many.

If we get Hurley, it means trading hartigan.

Disagree strongly but have posted enough on the topic - I'm sure you've seen it

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Carlton. Didn't mention us at all.

EDIT: and they did it in that "hur hur" smirky Victorian '**** way they talked about Dangerfield to Geelong last year.

So you can take it to the bank.

Just saw it, seemed like pure speculation that it is Carlton (but they will obviously be the ones with a burning need for young mids).

 

[Golumless]

We don't need a slooowwww midfielder who does alright on the small SCG

We're well covered for pace, and in terms of balance, would replace Thommo.

We need a 2nd inside beast, and one that is willing to work both ways as there is still question marks with this midfield and defensive pressure. Mitchell does that, and as he is at that 50 games mark, his game should only improve from herein.

My read on the situation ......wants to be a big fish in a small pond on big money .....bristled that others got longterm deals & went to Brisbane with a 5 year proposal ......he approached Brisbane!! even though he still had a year to go .....then pulled his skirt above his head and withdrew the proposal when Brisbane didn't reciprocate

Name me a successful defence which is this tall...

Happy for you to discuss on crowcast.

With the salary cap increase, $800K is not that big a money. I would pay it to be honest. Could be Eddie Betts like signing.

Sloane, Rockliff, Crouch brothers.....not a bad midfield.

How about...

We grab Hurley as a free agent.
Trade hartigan & change for a disgruntled rockliff.

Mitchell will be a liability on the MCG in finals ......Malcolm Blight once said ."you can afford to have only one slow midfielder" .....we have M.Crouch who i believe will end up better than Mitchell

Hartigan is a gun. Crows wont trade him. Huge bodied full backs don't grow on trees. Harts is a future AA.

I wouldn't go $800k pa as would make him our highest player, but no issue paying $600k north as would add to our midfield to challenge for a flag.

Lots of criticism being leveled at Rockcliff about being the highest possession winner and having the fewest inside 50's ......in other words, he's a high accumulator with little hurt factor

Heat is being applied that Rockcliff has to change his game to represent value for a high salary at Brisbane

I have been a hartigan supporter when most in this board were shooting him down. I hope he stays at Afc... But Hurley is an upgrade & if we can grab him as a fa, we must,

He'll want to get in quick with that AA because Weitering will have that possy stitched up from next season on for a decade if he stays fit!.

All for getting Hurley and keeping Hartigan .......you need depth & we have had an absolute dream run this year with injuries .....that won't always be the case

I'm a no on Rockcliff ........just my gut feel of how i see him castigating team mates

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Mitchell will be a liability on the MCG in finals ......Malcolm Blight once said ."you can afford to have only one slow midfielder" .....we have M.Crouch who i believe will end up better than Mitchell

You underrate a proven Mitchell.

We can only dream that m crouch gets near his level.

We dont gave a fb if we go Hurley. He isnt strong enough. Hartigan is a unit like Rutten which makes him unique. Hurley is closer to a Talia type.

........maybe a few too many sips of the sacramental wine?

Not a lot of contested marking though...

Who has beaten him this year? Im telling you he is a huge reason we are where we are.

Good player Mitchell .....but no, happy to back M.Crouch over him

Weitering will play in Talias position at chb.

No, Hurley is strong & a gun chb, with talia playing fb.

I rate harto, but you are biased if you think hartigan is in hurley's league.

.......seriously, have my heart set on Greenwood & Doedee in the midfield .....maybe not next year, but 2018
