List Mgmt. The 2020 Trade and Draft Thread

[adonski]

Yeah agreed, we should probably get another as well just in case the veteran gets injured aswell. In fact we should get get another in case he gets injured aswell.

The inside mid recruiting philosophy is being expanded!!!

 

[LarryDavidNeitz]

We need to mould Jackson as a mobile CHF and keep Weideman at FF

2021 -
F - Pickett, Weideman, Fritsch
HF - Vandenberg, Jackson, Melksham

If Vanders and Melksham are in our starting 6 forwards next year I will spew

 

[CWaffles]

My point is if Gawn and Preuss are injured we have nobody

Wouldn't hurt getting a veteran

With a reduced list size next year i doubt we can afford to carry 3 pure rucks, i think you will find most teams wont have more than 2 on their list at the end of the year.

Ok everyone, I'm not usually one to talk myself up on here but I've been working very hard at securing a WORM inside of the Melbourne Football Club. I'm talking about a genuine, verified, shall we say, "In The Know".

Obviously I can't reveal my sources but I'm looking forward to sharing only the juiciest trade gossip, PRIVILEGED information, facts ONLY that you won't read anywhere else.

Inside knowledge. Real shit, 100% true and confirmed. Amazing stuff.

Ruckman??? We've already got Gawn, Jackson and at this stage Preuss?

As long as we don't pay him more than 400k... and he has outside speed and class... and is open to learnings...

Actually, is Will Minson available?

 

[Grimesy87]

We probably need 5 maybe 6 more ruckman then. Just in case suspensions too.

We should get a new coach in case Goodwin gets covid

 

[CWaffles]

Williams has officially told GWS he wants to get to a Vic club.

 

[Russian Demon]

If we get Saad while also tricking them into taking TMac, Dodoro will be lynched on Windy Hill Oval by 75,000 incensed Essendonmaniacs

 

[The Dr]

Williams has officially told GWS he wants to get to a Vic club.

He and Saad are so similar but I prefer Williams as A) he is a free agent and B) he’s proven he can be damaging in the midfield not just at half back.

Yeah I agree, the free agent side makes him look more appealing in my eyes.

I wonder who would demand more money?

 

[markm106]

Apparently strongest link to Carlton. If he wants 900k surely we give him pass. Even though I’d love to get him to the club.

 

[adonski]

Carlton have a habit of targeting icing on the top type players. Williams might be an exception should they permanently play him as an inside mid, but 900k would be crazy on a guy they planned to play at half back.

Saad is also a better defensive player and will cost 200-300k less, he's my choice. Might also allow us to get Tmac off our books.

 

[Toump Ass]

Play on the edge and you'll fall over it every now and then.

Personally I'd ****ing love if we got a few more suspensions, especially from our captain. And none of this "4 weeks for poor technique" shit. We don't even get pulled up for a jumper punch.

****in' blouses.

 

[Demon 16]

Surprised nobody else thinks we need another agile small forward who can pressure and crumb.

If there's one available we should definitely go after them...I'm just not sure there's anyone of note worth looking at? Maybe just take a crack in the draft?

**** I loved 2017 when they just belt pricks.

Tom Bugg should have a statue at goschs

Completely agree. Crumbling pressure forward and running half back are the two areas we most need sorting imo.

[GatesOfHell]

Passing on a couple of rumours I’ve heard lads and lasses. Make of them what you will.

- The club recognises bringing in a KPF as priority number one. We are going after Harry McKay with a very lucrative deal in $$ and years that the Blues will be hard pressed to compete with given their recent splurge on imported talent. Martin and Williams alone will take up $2m of their cap space next season. They have a surplus of key forwards and we believe we can shake McKay loose.

- Tom McDonald to the Kangaroos. His brother will be delisted. The McDonald era at Melbourne is no more.

- One of Brayshaw or Viney won’t be at the club next season. The club would prefer that player be Gus.

- Saad rumour is true we are keen but so are others.

Williams Explores Free Agency

After eight years as a GIANT, Zac Williams will explore his free agency.

www.gwsgiants.com.au

Zac Williams on the move to Victoria apparently. Carlton seem to be favourites, of course. I'd be ****ing off as many of our players as possible to get him in.

 

[Toump Ass]

One of Brayshaw or Viney won’t be at the club next season. The club would prefer that player be Gus.

Can confirm this one.

Expecting Dees get rid of Viney as Gus in a hospital bed is worth nothing.
Next year, Gus LTI, Oliver regresses and Tracca carries the team into another brilliant ninth place finish.
What do in 2021 trade period? Trade out all available picks (and Oliver) for some overpriced second-hand inside mids.
**** I love contested possessions.

 

[Headless]

Can't say I've missed the off-season particularly.

But I also didn't enjoy the season.

It's an issue.
