Strategy Trade and List management Thread Part 5 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

[Nat Fyfe]

Looks like GWS will have a stack of picks this year.
Any consideration to trade our first down to a late first and pick up an extra second? This could be a year to really hit the draft hard

Great option for live trades, the draft seems so even from about 6-25. We have elite talent in every area of the ground, what we need to do is improve the bottom end of the 22. Replacing guys like Vandermeer, McComb, Williams, Cordy or Smith with players like Weddle, Clark, Konstanty would be ideal

Thought Sam Power’s comment “Looks like they have a bit on with points. Maybe they’ll have to use players” on the dogs site was interesting

Ryan Lester and Mitch Robinson to the dogs confirmed.

Taranto for 12 and 19 confirmed

There’s the guide for Dunkley.

Similar Players, both out of contract. One coming off a career best season and the other an OK season. Beauty.

Sounds like BS from Walls. Says they have no intention of trading Lobb yet says they have had conversations about him. Then doubles down further and says "I expect him to be at Freo next season. Goes from saying there is no way he will be traded to now just expecting him to be at Freo. If you could bet on trades, I'd put a packet on Lobb being at the dogs next season.

Once they have Jackson in the bag they’ll able to trod out “circumstances changed one we acquired Luke and only then did we consider trading Rory”

Still don’t know why Richmond have paid this and didn’t even get steak knives back, unless Hopper will be cheap for some reason.

Enjoy Tigerland, Timmy!

Wait a club targeted an out of contract player, realised they still have zero leverage as their only method of bringing him in is trading with his current club, yet paid a fair & reasonable - for both clubs - price and got it sorted on day one without ******* around.

Tigs list manager should be shot, blokes got no idea on how negotiating in good faith works

Instead of a few moments later insert "a 7 year deal later".

Also Giants have done very well getting a future 2nd from Collingwood for a completely unproven player like Bobby Hill.

Who is the Brisbane list manager? There's your guide, my friend.

Ditto for the Freo numpties.

To be fair the Lions list manager has a few balls in the air with matching 2 highly rated father/sons. It was never going to be day 1. They also need to understand the McStay compo first.

 

[Zgope1]

I hope we ask for Dev, Wilmot, Coleman, Big O

That's true, but they regularly get a heap of good picks, only to draft another crop of nursery fodder for the Richmond, Collingwood and Geelong's of the comp.

Taranto deal is good for us. If it goes to mediation, that’s our evidence

And the AFL won‘t let a team get reamed in a trade. They have to tick off every deal.

Sam P talked about precedents in his Interview

The next step will be for the AFL to allow Geelong to loan out their kids to GWS and GC to get real experience until they can get a game at the Cats.

Hardwick called for a player loan system a few years ago. No joke.

Yep, the good ones go to Geelong and Richmond, the duds go to Carlton.

is hands-down the best trade negotiator this club has ever had, just on the evidence of the last few seasons.

(If only he'd been here for the Boyd/Griffen or Rawlings/Street/Koops/Veale deals!)

I feel like we could start a Chuck Norris type series of posts on Sammy and his stare.

Hey! You've just stolen their idea, but only Geelong/Western Districts kids though so they can tug at the heartstrings and beg to 'come home'

Been reliably informed he exclaimed “just get me here” immediately upon his first bite of a Barkers toastie.

 

[gangsta deluxe]

Love how you reposted with increased head size

 

[The Inbetweener]

Power has improved as a media performer. Still gives nothing away but more personality than his first few goes at it early in the job!

Great work. I'm guessing that's Liber Snr's body - smacks of HBC in Alice in Wonderland!
