List Mgmt. Trade & F/A - 2020

Elliott not moving to Dees (The Age)

Jamie Elliott has told Melbourne he won't be joining them as a free agent.

The high-flying forward has yet to say where he will play next year, as he is yet to recommit to Collingwood and toured the Brisbane Lions facilities on Saturday as he continues to weigh up an offer from them.

The Demons believed Elliott was likely to remain at Collingwood and the Magpies were confident of re-signing the popular forward on new terms. List manager Ned Guy said on Monday morning the Pies had a two-year deal on the table for Elliott.

The Demons were told Elliott had decided against a move there on Saturday.

I would do Josh Thomas for Jack Martin and I think the Gold Coast would do it too.

Sorry can’t see that one happening in a straight swap. On potential (and younger age) Martin would be valued a lot higher for mine.

I reckon Isaac Smith could go cheaply - not saying we 'need' him, but he is an upgrade. Brings pace.

 

[Apex36]

I wouldn't be surprised if WHE and Aish are put on the table either.

Aish won’t be put on the table. It’s pretty clear they view him as best 22 now given how they spotted him straight back in both times after he returned from injury this year. Same with WHE. They’ll be backing him to bounce back with a full preseason under his belt, which he didn’t get last year.

Be great if we could actually play Aish in his position next year.

 

[jsdsgn]

personally i think we have a problem with the pathetic depth of this club. riddled with injuries and whenever we get a replacement theyre always terrible at AFL level
Darcy Cameron is a solid start to fixing that. not best 22 but someone that can actually provide good afl level contriution
delist crocker and broomhead 100%

 

[stormskye]

Surely pies are offering Elliot 2 years with a trigger clause of a third year if he plays so many games etc? would have thought this would be obvious to retain him

I'm more theorising on salary cap issues and putting forward wher I'd look to make savings if we need to. Aish and WHE are currently best 22, but can they be pretty easily replaced by development from youngsters or by cheap state leaguers? I'd say yes. WHE is better than that, but I think ideally for our best 22, his spot is taken by a ground ball player with all the other medium hit up targets we have. My opinion will change if we lose Elliott. Those sort of guys are where I'd look to make savings if we do actually have a problem. It's also what the Tigers did at the end of last year when they traded out 3 or 4 guys at the edges of the senior team.

He isn't over 30 so can't get a 3-year deal.

 

[Aishole]

Martin isn't getting a 1st pick, I would say Thomas is worth around a late 2nd

GC boy which is 27 and will be in there best 10 players I think its a win win for both clubs Martin offers something we lack and has the potential

You think its a Win Win because you’re a Collingwood supporter. They would 100% not do a straight swap.

 

[Apex36]

He's not, but no it's not. Broomhead was uncontracted last year and we did it. Oxley the same situation the year before.

Ox was contracted

That’s Martin’s max value, but it won’t get it done. The bloke is seriously overrated and doesn’t want it anywhere near enough. Come finals you’ll get WHE 2019 PF output from him.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

We should chase Isaac Smith.

What about our future second and Thomas?

I'd agree if you played him as a forward, but I'd be looking at using him as a half back. It's a bit of an unknown so I wouldn't pay much, but think he could be top shelf playing behind the ball.

Both Cleary and Barrett both sound puffed this afternoon. Must've been a busy morning chasing ambulances.

 

[TradeDraft]

So now a week and a Bit of Teams Refusing to do trade as they want more for Trading Player and Teaks wanting to trade for Less.

Not to mention the fact that the trade period now finishes at 7:30pm on a day next week, I think?

There's no way that the AFL will let it go into prime time without at least one big trade going down (Kelly to WCE etc).

If Elliott goes to Brisbane, I'm of the opinion that we should be going after Mason Wood.

Edit: right on queue

He’ll fill up our rehab group quota nicely.

 

[Thedivided]

I feel like butler would be a better replacement then wood

 

[Jafo]

Looks like the Saints are looking to get real active this trade season.

 

[sr36]

You want to add another slowish non physical mid to our mix?

It should be interesting next year watching a club who thinks they’re better than they are picking up a whole bunch of average

Hill isn't average.
