Mega Thread Trade and List Management discussion

200cm quick ruck/fwd, not sure what else we would be looking at Casey for. Nothing on the melbourne list stands out especially not their depth but it would come cheap like Hamling did.

It was casey vs bombers
He might have been looking at bombers players

Fitzy wouldnt crack our defense or forward line
Waste of time even talking about it

People talk about ayce as a rookie chance to make sure we have ruck depth. If he's as good as/better than ayce, then talking about fitzy is just as valid. A rookie doesn't really need to crack our defence or forward line

Seems weird to see Griff smiling.

Someone told him a joke 3 hours earlier, must have just got it

Just my opinion, but Howe doesnt strike me as the type Bev would be keen on us chasing.

Heck no. He's just not that good, certainly wouldn't add much to the side apart from the occasional hangar.
There's a reason a team on a hard mission to bring in mature talent is offering less than he wants and actively shopping him around.

 

[Mofra]

Are you a fan of Mark Austin, Lucas Markovic and Ed Barlow? I'm not sure we want to list the hundreds who don't make it against the half dozen who do. Doesn't seem sensible...

I don't think we should simply rule any mature aged talent out.
Outside of our rookie pick ups guys like Puopolo and Barlow have shown there are a few gems floating around and it is worth considering some of them.
If we picked up Hudson and Pods when they were under our noses would we have won one of our prelims? It's possible.

Interesting that he mentioned looking at opportunities to move up the draft order. Hope it means we're actively targeting a very high pick.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Maybe pick 5 from Saints is possible after all.

 

[fronkalicious]

Harley openly stating an interest in Talia. Between Adelaide and the swans, We'll get out of that OK.

It's easy to forget that it's bloody hard to find talent that can play at afl level, especially as a key defender. Talia can, and still has upside. That has value.

 

[fronkalicious]

Maybe it's pick 1.

 

[King Harold]

Maybe it's pick 1.

Fronk , you are going to send blokes on here into a frenzy again.

 

[Smiley Boy]

Talia & 11 for pick 9 possibly?

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

No way we can get pick one now with Carlisle at the saints. Best we could hope for is pick 3 IMO.

Still hoping the trade with the saints stall and Carlisle still somehow ends up at the blues, freeing up pick 1. Also hope we try to sell Talia to them.

 

[JTCWBFC]

Talia and our second for tippet?

He, boyd and rough to rotate through the ruck and fwd/back lines respectively.

Only if we can re-write his contract. Barely earning his keep in Sydney based on the type of coin he's on.

Happy new NAB AFL Trade period everyone

 

[Roscoe_au]

The notifications thing on the AFL website better work on my phone. I don't have time to trawl through the www today, damnit.

What did jmac say in the above interview?

 

[Oddhawk]

Well done on getting Suckers lads, should fit in well with the way Bev coaches!!

Just a query on Hrovat,

Would our second and Suckling Compo get it done?

I would say your second alone would come close to be honest.

 

[Oddhawk]

Nothing wrong with a sweetner...

 

[fargy]

I would say your second alone would come close to be honest.

Not a chance. JMac just said something pretty special would have to come for us to consider moving him, to me a pick in the mid to late thirties in a shallow draft doesn't sound like something special.

I wouldn't do it , but it would have to be around the mark. What can you imagine you will get for Suckling ?
