Strategy Trade and List Management Thread Part 8 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

Opposition supporters coming to troll , you have been warned

After yesterday we should 100% be offering Bakes 1 if not 2 years, his pressure is elite, we need players like him on our list. You don’t truely see how quick he is until you watch him at ground level live. He’s never going to be a top 5 player but he’s depth we need.

I think 2 years is a bit of a stretch, but 1 year deal would be suitable. I don't see many other other clubs offering more than that so we hold the cards and if another club offered him more than that I would say thank you for your services and wish him all the best.

I would assume delistings would start today? As harsh as that sounds after a GF win in the VFL!

Historically we've started delistings on a Monday, but I'm not sure if that changes with the VFL GF being yesterday. If I had to guess I'd imagine players that didn't play yesterday will have their exit interviews today, with those who did later in the week, but I'd only be guessing.

It will be interesting to see how hard we go!

Um, you forgot Butters.

 

[Unorth]

Poulter still only being 22 may save him depending on other list decisions we make.

But I still don’t really see a position for him. On paper he’s a tall gut running marking wing. On paper he is also a mobile third tall forward that can hit the scoreboard and push up the ground.

Then you get to reality and what he produces and he just seems like a tweener, Jarrad Grant

-ish type that doesn’t really have a role at afl level. We have options at both positions that are better (Davidson, Croft).

i suspect we’re now past the period of enticement with Poulter as a prospect. probably arrive at the same conclusion Collingwood did. But might be one of those guys where his future is dependent on other list calls.

Poulter is not great when the ball is below his knees.

He is never going to make it,

Good tank but far to slow to be as uncontested as he is

Poulter might get an extra year with Buku requesting a trade. They were both competing for that 3rd tall role in different stages of the year.

Contracted, so we'll take one of their good players - Weitering thanks.

(as far as I know from Saints fans, this is how it works)

I'd give him a contract and rotate him through that HF role we seem set to play as a purely defensive type (that McNeill/VDM role).

Next year Dolan can rotate there as well as he'll be ready. Both players can apply the same level of pressure but will be much greater offensive threats. Bakes can chop out with wing rotations as well to help out running capacity.

 

[Mofra]

By rumour they are offering 4 x $600k.
Love Buks but he just has to jump at that deal. Sets him up for life.

 

[Pencil case]

Love Buku but I hope we don’t let him go for anything less than a second round pick. Especially if Butts and Wilkie fall through.

Firstly congrats on your VFL victory. Overall what are your thoughts on BK fitting in with the Carlton list? Both clubs are pretty good with trading with one another reasonably in the last few times we've dealt with one another, if in fact you do desire to trade a contracted BK what is fair, or what are you seeking?

 

[Scott Tracy]

Won't Buku be at the Brownlow tonight, considering he is a mark of the year nominee? Awkward.

Wish him all the best. Will miss cheering his name

2nd rounder either this year or next

I don't think it'd be too awkward, the club would be well aware this was coming, he was at the VFL grand final celebrations yesterday and it was all good. Like a overwhelming majority of trades it's just best for both parties and everyone is happy.

 

[Pencil case]

Doubt there would be any bad blood between him or the players/club. He’s loved at the kennel and it makes sense why he’s looking elsewhere for opportunity. Not every club has a Sam Darcy or Aaron Naughton.

Buks was in the rooms at the VFL GF.
I suspect everyone has known for weeks he'll take the Carlton deal but he's a popular guy and I'm sure everyone understands the situation.

It's certainly got nothing on Merrett sitting at the Bombers' table.

Khamis is at his best when he’s leading and marking in the forward line. He’s short for a KPF but has a great leap, and he’s an accurate shot at goal. I think he’d probably be a late second or early third.

We'll ask for a 2nd. Settle on 3rd.

Everybody wins.
