List Mgmt. Trade and F/A - Part 3

[Rusty Beam]

Just whipped this up as an example how relatively simple gathering some more points may be. That’s even before we consider trading in any future picks.

Essentially it is us trading our earliest pick (37) pick for 3 later picks with Brisbane.

There are also other options with Richmond and Gold Coast in particular.

I don't think Freeman would step back in the Holden Centre

Agreed. Well his old man probably wouldn't let him.

But if its the difference between VFL and a 2nd shot at AFL.. ya never know.

Jungle drums are still beating for Merrett.

Not a massive fan but he's A grade quality.
Could have just kept Treloar.. haha..

It's a bizarre one, as poaching Merrett would probably end up costing more than we saved on Treloar. If we were paying 900,000 but still have to pay 300000, you'd think that the 600000 wouldn't be enough to pay the overs necessary to poach Merrett.

Id rather see the club have some semblance of a spine and not go back there..

We re-built bridges with Beams and got him back and it worked out ok for about 4 weeks...

Merrett is a no from me now. We would have to sell the farm, and we are in this position because we’ve been burnt doing this. We need more astute FA and trade decisions. There’s no shortage of talent in the two’s for some clubs which we can get much cheaper, I’d rather do this and back the draft. We need to stop offering these huge deals.

weid, Riccardi are playing vfl, Brodie fiorini for suns, and as knightmare said lipinski from dogs. Also what’s jarrod Cameron for eagles position? They have an abundance of smalls. There’s talent there on a discount

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Any interest in Merrett would have been floated before Wright came to the club... so take it with a grain of salt.

 

[peter9789]

Reckon if he doesn’t rise up to the level club are now expecting from him over remainder of the season, putting him on the table has to be explored.

Might be taken out of our hands if he is found guilty of the criminal charges at his August hearing. If he is, most likely he will be delisted.

In that case...
5 year $700k contract to Freeman!

 

[Billys Back]

Best decision we made was letting him go to the Saints for a pick in the 20s

Blamed Buckleys break a few eggs for his hammy didn't he?

 

[Jen2310]

well he had 40 possessions and took 19 marks. Not a bad effort for the first ever game in the backline.

Yeah, not bad. The ball must have been coming in a lot.

The change in role clearly to do with Hogan coming in the team

Why not? I'm sure he's still a well respected figure down there.

 

[gouki88]

My understanding was he had a significant falling out with the club and Buckley

I should've made my sarcasm more clear, apologies.

 

[gouki88]

I can never tell anymore, lmao.

Maybe we should draft him for a laugh

 

[Moore of the Same]

Well we've got two picks..

 

[gouki88]

Well we've got two picks..

Someone said Freeman and Gault. Would be quite funny to see how people around here reacted to that

^This. He’s not our list manager, but as GM of footy he’ll be heavily involved in list management decisions, and I can’t see him approving us chasing a player we’ll have to pay over the odds for in our current, or any circumstance tbh. The hallmark of Wrights tenure at Hawthorn was his ability to identify and recruit talent from other clubs that was underrated or under-utilised, and do it at a reasonable cost. I’d imagine he’ll be working very closely with Guy this year to do that, meaning we’ll much more likely see plays for guys like Riccardi, Weideman, and Lipinski, who are AFL quality but being kept out of their respective sides for depth reasons. We certainly can’t afford to be poaching established 22 players at the moment, let alone top 5-10 players from clubs.

 

[loki04]

We are already 1/6. I don’t see this wkend win or loss as any worse tbh. We are finishing bottom 3. It’s already a nightmare season.

Nah if we finish last it means we would of had pick 1 and 2 in the draft and GWS get pick 1 for 2 picks mid to late 20s

Could of matched Daicos after we took someone at pick 1.

how would we have matched daicos though? We wouldn’t have enough points unless we traded next years, which again we don’t want to do. I hear what people are saying, and I didn’t support trading this years, BUT, Diacos isn’t free,. So even if we hadn’t traded it, we wouldn’t have daicos and pick 2. Pick 2 would still get used on him, it just means there would be less wheeling and dealing of later picks. I wish we still had our own second rounder, why we traded that to dogs is anyone’s guess

Same way we are going to match the extra 1000 points this year, either trade it in or go deficit 2022.
You wouldn't take daicos at 1 you take player x at 1 and wait for daicos bid likely at pick 2. Which reduces points needed as well.

 

[stormskye]

We need all our picks in 2022 to rebuild. I hope we don’t go into deficit. I agree it’s a stupid trade. But we don’t end up with two top 3 picks in any scenario. That’s they reason for the system. Maybe we can get a priority pick....

Isn't taking 2 top 2 picks accelerated rebuilding?

The scenario of if we finished last and kept the pick would result in both pick 1 and 2 coming to us. 100% they would make that work if it fell that way.

We also had some stepho compo.
