Strategy Trade and List Management thread 2.(...the waiting for the hammer to fall edition)

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

I'm enjoying the foreign potato salesmen starting to pop in.

 

[Sentinel]

Mitch Brown is looking to move back to Victoria. I know most won't rate him, but he could be an option for KPD depth if noone else?

 

[kimbo83]

Gross.

Yeah fair enough

 

[compact72]

Don't forget we have a few players coming through the ranks (Williams). Not that terrible when you think of it. Means Biggsy get's more games which I'm fine with

 

[Dogsman16]

Trade radio did say that Geelong's Lonergan may be avaialble. Should we be interested?

If we lost both Hamling and Adams then it would force our hand.

Lonergan had a good year though. He's still capable.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Speaking hypothetically the last half an hour is like you picked up an awesome supermodel. Morning comes and she ball taps and Dutch ovens you and then leaves without giving you her number.

Ha I could take it if she was going for a much more attractive chap than me.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Don't forget we have a few players coming through the ranks (Williams). Not that terrible when you think of it. Means Biggsy get's more games which I'm fine with

Very different players to Adams though.

 

[YelloMit]

How about Sam Collins (a young KPD), Sutcliffe and/or Suban + 35 for Adams and Hamling?

 

[Dogsman16]

18 + Adams for 7.

Adams worth is a mid to late first rounder.

That's what we should be asking for.

 

[ttomred17]

Just back whatever decisions the club make, we just won the Flag ffs. If Marcus wants to go then so be it.

 

[Royale]

Would anyone be surprised if a certain VFL premiership captain made his way onto our rookie list?

Nope.

He is also one of the creators of handball club if memory serves.

We could do worse than Russell for depth.

 

[Igloo]

Mitch Brown is looking to move back to Victoria. I know most won't rate him, but he could be an option for KPD depth if noone else?

If Hammer and Adams both go, I'd take him for basically nothing. We pretty much have to at this point, unless we magically find someone.

Which of those is a key defender? Hmm

 

[compact72]

Very different players to Adams though.

Agreed. We have played the finals and half the season without Adams, so it's not like he's covered.

We also have Bob returning next year, Suckling will be back next year

 

[Libba39]

We need at least one of Adams and Hamling to stay on for 1-2 years while Collins gets going.

Interesting what our backline might look like in 2018 without Morris, Moyd, Murph, Adams or Hamling.

Wood Collins R.Smith
Williams Roberts Biggs
Int: Webb

 

[YelloMit]

18 + Adams for 7.

Adams worth is a mid to late first rounder.

That's what we should be asking for.

I would do that.

 

[gangsta deluxe]

We'd be left with Roberts and Collins as our only long term key defenders FFS. We need to keep Hammer.

 

[compact72]

Which of those is a key defender? Hmm

The way we play, we don't even play 1v1 all that much.

 

[MJ_Dogs]

I agree. He's worth more.

In all seriousness, there's no way Freo are going to trade away their best player since Matthew Pavlich. Period.

You do understand the concept of free agency yeah? And that you could lose him for nothing next year? And the AFL might scrap compensation? If he's set on going, now is the time to get compensation for him

 

[dergert]

Alex Pearce ty

 

[Igloo]

I would do that.

Done deal. No takebacksies.

 

[VitalDread]

What about Ibbotson? He didn't have a great year but you only have to watch the Freo v WB round 23 game to see what he's capable of.

We didnt really play in round 23

 

[SayerTheCreator]

How about Sam Collins (a young KPD), Sutcliffe and/or Suban + 35 for Adams and Hamling?

I heard WA has some great drugs

 

[YelloMit]

My twitter question about Adams was answered on the AFL site.

[compact72]

Just saying, don't be surprised if Cloke floats down to the backline for some parts of the game
