List Mgmt. Trade Week 2016 - Live Thread

[Suma Magic]

I'm not surprised as it's been WCE's philosophy for some time that any player over 31 once their contract expires is usually on a year by year contract. Both Glass & Embley were on this type of contract in the twilight of their career and think Butler is also. Probably once Priddis & Lecca's contracts expire both of them probably will be on a similar contract.

I was thinking it's different when you are trying to bring someone in. Offering a 29 year old two years is fine if you have deemed them good enough to come to the club IMO.

Apparently Barich said on 94.5 this morning that we put an offer to Ballantyne yesterday but had to withdraw it when we realised it wouldn't fit under our cap.

Sounded like complete BS to me

I don't think we've had any genuine interest at Ballantyne

Would be a pretty good way to troll him and Freo

 

[southcoast]

Worsfold played all the kids and developed sides very quickly.

Must have missed that one off - split second event.

Is he even fit currently? Has he been playing VFL?

Marden's broken more tackles than Vardy's played games, both happen once every 4-7 years.

Masten
Marsten
Marsden
Marden
Maten
Mate
Mat

We have two Matts.

Wow. Geelong must be drinking the same water as the Pies. Craziness.

Nothing is on the same level as paying Chris f***ing Mayne 500k a year

 

[mattyc75]

yes, we had 39/5 this year.

we lost cavka, ellis, bennel and ginners from main list and colledge, waterman + lucas from rookie list.
making it 35/2

mitchell and vardy make it 37, but when we delist brown and move mcinnes to rookie list it becomes 35/3. so 5 main list spots and one rookie spot. I personally would also delist tunbidge and go into the draft 35/2.

I really do hope McInnes gets moved to the rookie list,been saying it for ages.I also think butler could be moved there,and just be upgraded at the beginning of the year

Not sold on Nathan "Glass" Vardy.

There's always Petrie

We'll get Vardy in tomorrow and will have a nice lunch whilst waiting for the flight back to Perth.

You'd think my Samsung Galaxy Note 7 would know how to spell his name properly by now, but all it does is set fire to the house.

What's the price on Vardy's head? What kind of risk is this looking like? He's got age and potential on his side.

Apparently was fit this year, just couldn't get into the AFL side with Smith and Stanley in decent form.

 

[dajesmac]

Surely Lycett-Giles-Vardy-McInnes will suffice.

Not sure I'd even bother adding McInnes to that list. I'd say we have 3 options and adding one younger than 21 or so wouldn't hurt via the RD.

With out doubt the most perplexing deal this year.

 

[SpaceClef]

Probably start engraving GWS onto the cup for the next few years.

If Goodwin is a decent coach and motivator that list should give them a run for their money I reckon...

Maybe if Cameron and Goodwin are already gone? Probably need another ruck option on the rookie list.

Most confusing

I would ducking love to sponsor him if I were a Collingwood fan

Setting the house on fire.
Well that's not something Masten ever does but he does train it down.

Pity he cant either lay or break a tackle, but don't worry he does lead the competition in one stat.

The player who was pinged the most times in the 2016 season for holding the ball.

Paying wells 600k?

 

[kerrazy]

I was on the verge of orgasm when I figured we werent going to bring in petrie or ballantyne. And oh my dear lord when we traded for Mitchell I came so so hard.

We have done mightily well just to keep those 2 spuds away.

All hail Vozzo!

 

[wadistance]

Also. Can someone explain to me how the board draft works with this sponsoring a player etc? What does sponsoring a player actually entail? Writing them a bio or something? Been on BF for years and found myself mostly posting in the round ball forum

Has to be one of the dumbest footballers we have on the list.

 

[bitadash]

Hi welcome to the club, good to have new people in here etc etc, all that stuff

So enough of that, let's get straight to the point... what are your views on Darling plus our 3rd rounder for Adams?

Uppercut yourself hard enough that the doctor has to remove your teeth with pliers

 

[Godfather32]

Nope, not even close

I always thought you just find out where they live and hide in their bushes
