List Mgmt. Our Trade/FA, Suburban & Country Town Thread

[barrackers]

Do you think he has the tank? Serious question.

I don’t follow training or gps stats closely enough to know, however without an alternative tall defender any positional move of significant duration is unlikely before an offseason. A preseason would give the best chance of any move working.

 

[memoryofmchale]

If it’s true that Bont is frustrated at the Dogs and could leave at the end of his contract, surely we start getting into his ear.

I’m expecting that place to have a shock trade.

AFL needs a more exciting trade period after last year’s flop, hence why they want to free up movement.

 

[KillerMagpies]

I'm just throwing this out there
Would it be worth us going to north Melbourne and asking if they would trade 2 of our older experience players for a young kid, they need the leadership to help guide them and we need another good young kid

Who are you giving up?

 

[sr36]

Moore on a wing intrigues me as it would create the opportunity for him to push forward or back and potentially lose an opponent.

Wrong era in terms of how wings are used. But he would have out Richoed Richo as a wing in that era.

 

[sr36]

Would Murphy, Ginnivan and Leggy be three more to add to your list of paying unders in a premiership team?

The biggest paid unders player was our second year superstar

wants to be in Black and White next year,, if we're willing to find the way to make it happen.

This isn't based on his trip to the States with Nick.

See comment above… talking by the end of 2026 not make it happen this year
Sure we don’t know where we will finish the 2026 season but I would think it’s more likely we will be toward the bottom in a rebuilding phase and could be holding pick 2

These days players nominate their destination and clubs can only use what they have and it usually gets done
If we hold pick 10 plus F1 and throw in a 2nd it would likely get done

On that timeline you have us bottoming-out just as Tassie are in recruitment ramp-up phase with massive under-age and draft-pick concessions, plus preferential access to free-agent players.

2026 to 2030 will be the worst possible time to be near the bottom of the ladder.

If we finish bottom 2 in '26 and we can offer pick 2 and a player for Reid as in the Judd trade

We won't finish bottom 2 in 26. We'll transition through the retirements without too much trouble, as we'll still have a strong core and are good at adding recruits.

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

I’d love to land [Bailey smith, but not sure how we’d pull that off considering we gave up our first round pick for Schultz

We have a future 1st 2025 and Hawks 2024 2nd.

Out-of-contract Cats star wants to stay - but there's one holdup

“The latest around Max Holmes… this has been going on for weeks, the ball is in Geelong’s court.”

Apparently Holmes wants to stay at the Cats.

OOC at years end.

if Geelong are happy to hold-off to see what his form is like then surely you fire a shot across the bow and offer him some decent coin with 4-5+ yrs

there's no downside ..getting Geelong to pay more $$$ and/or unsettling one of their younger & better players

worst case scenario, he gets a whiff of the B'W carrot and agrees to see out the year AND ...

They all say that. Easiest media gig in the world.

Speculate on player's future by claiming "links" (team with capital, connection and/or need/interest).

Write article.

Rumours start to emerge.

Ask player about future. Player says they re-commit.

Write new article.

Rinse and repeat.

With the roos looking like a basket case, it’s only a matter of time before players start looking to get out, we should be circling like vultures. Wardlaw would look good in black and white.

We should be offering to save as many as possible.

A cheaper one I like is Comben.

If we're going to talk about poaching North players, lets cut right to it and discuss how we get Sheezel.

Bailey Smith is a must for me. It would be shrewd of the pies to buy Nick a pony to make it easier to keep him in the future when the big offers start rolling in.

 

[Exambolor]

If North continues their downward spiral we should 100% be in LDU’s ear. He’s OOC next year and would be a perfect injection of youth in the mids.

Smith this year, LDU next year.
