Recruiting Trade & Free Agency VII

[Lore]

We can't trade our first without bringing another first in.

I'd like to shoot the operators of Essendon's social media.

Speaking metaphorically, of course.

Your post has no relevance to my post that interstate clubs pay overs for third or fourth year interstate players to stop the go home factor.

If interstate clubs are paying 3rd and 4th year players extra to keep players from going home it's not $400k.

That's basically the going rate, give or take 10% to resign a promising first round pick regardless of who is from where.

I agree completely. I’m sure we’d be putting time into potential Daniher replacement trade targets but here’s a bloke who is probably ready to play every game in 2021 should we need it, while there’s no guarantee we’d be able to find an equivalent player to trade in.

If we were to get Bowman as a rookie as well it would really set up our spine forward of centre for a decade assuming none of them spud it up. Riccardi and Gown as KPFs, Bowman to fill the third tall role and backup ruck, and Draper taking the number one ruck spot.

That’s a lot of faith in a VFL player, rookie listed and a 60+ pick to set us up for a decade.

As I said, that is assuming none of them spud it up. There is always the risk any player drafted into the club will fail to come on as hoped however they all have some nice attributes for their age and appear to offer something to work with over the next few years.

Dodoro couldn't organise a root in a brother if it were staring him in the face

I should hope not!

 

[BrunoV]

I should hope not!

I supposed most of us are someone else's brother?

I really don’t understand the Brown hate. He was always a serviceable backup back and now had a good year as a fairly reliable lead up forward. Still sits in my 22. To me, it’s Daniher, McKernan and Brown, with Stewart having to earn his way back in.

Daniher replaces Brown.

Daniher, McKernan, Stringer, Fantasia, Tippa and Snelling.

 

[The Donners]

Daniher replaces Brown.

Daniher, McKernan, Stringer, Fantasia, Tippa and Snelling.

Snelling will hardly get a game in my opinion. With Smith back and Cutler coming to the club, spots will be tighter. Albeit different players, Zaharakis, Ridley and Gleeson will be ahead of Snelling too. I’m hoping Jok adds some bulk to play on the opposite wing to Cutler. 2020 may also be the year they unveil Mosquito.

Ooh, we're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son

 

[ghostdog]

Daniher replaces Brown.

Daniher, McKernan, Stringer, Fantasia, Tippa and Snelling.

Are we too tall if we play Langford over Snelling? Langford's a dead eye. If we have a loaded forwardline of Daniher, Stringer and McKernan, Langford might kick some serious sausages.

It's not the going rate - Many of these interstate based players are still fringe players.

I had Snelling in for extra pressure.

I forgot about Smith though. I would replace Snelling with Smith.

Why would I put Gleeson, Cutler or Jok in the forward pocket?

I originally had Langford instead of Snelling but thought a lineup with Daniher, McKernan, Stringer and Langford would simply be too slow and would allow the ball to waltz out too often.

I forgot about Smith. he replaces Snelling

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Ben Keays?

 

[The Donners]

Why would I put Gleeson, Cutler or Jok in the forward pocket?

Sorry, not positional inclusions. Cutler and Jok, maybe Ridley and Redman competing for spots on the wings and of course Gleeson across half back.

Jok is miles away. Only another big injury list will give him a game.

 

[DapperJong]

Jok is miles away. Only another big injury list will give him a game.

Gown is what you'd call miles away. Jok is a lot closer than that.

 

[JayJ20]

Ben Keays?

As a DFA, why not. Waiting for Corey Lyons to be delisted too.

Jok isn't miles away. The fact that he already played suggests he is close.

 

[Vindicater]

Gown is what you'd call miles away. Jok is a lot closer than that.

Would you call him yards away?

 

[DapperJong]

Would you call him yards away?

yes

fathoms actually

We had a shedload of players out otherwise he wouldn’t have got a game.

I'm keen on Lyons. He's among the best of the Lions' 2s though so he won't be delisted.
