List Mgmt. 2013 Trade / Draft / Free Agency

[hayes]

Isn't this similar to the talk we heard about Caddy last year, and where's he? Last I saw there was a thread on the Geelong board saying he isn't traveling that great right now, but hopefully he'll improve. How do we know if Adams is any better?

From the looks of it Adams has shown more than Caddy ever did, his first season being better than any of Caddy's three

Let's draft Nic Naitanui's twin while we are at it.

Another story on Dayle Garlett saying he is more mature now and ready wasn't last year. But i guess that could change.

good story is madut. has a long way to go, but by gee is it hypnotic watching him run and jump. just seems to do it without effort

 

[Defacto]

If Melbourne and/or WB get a priority pick we may get pushed out of the top 5, even if we finish in the bottom 4.

just like eddie to go into bat for them, especially if it hurts our chances

 

[CHBench]

Im glad we don't have Eddie's sympathy.

 

[L_W_P]

No way should either of those teams get a PP.

Melbourne got their double dip with the tanking saga AND another go around with the over inflated Scully compo. Giving them another one just rewards their pathetic culture and overall lack of leadership.

The Dogs are just at the bottom of their 'cycle', same as us. If they get one, we get one, and then every club that finishes bottom 4 with a million dollar loss will go begging to the AFL.

Port Adelaide were a more deserving case last year and were told very early they'd get nothing. Imagine if they'd nabbed Wines AND Vlastuin!

No way should any team get a priority pick in the near future. The incentive to tank would come straight back. They should scrap the 'commission's discretion' rule too.

Where you finish = where you pick.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Will Spencer White have the tank to play further up the ground though? Wasn't he having trouble with his endurance last year in the TAC?

You aren't born with a tank, you increase your cardiovascular fitness by training.

 

[Richter]

If Melbourne and/or WB get a priority pick we may get pushed out of the top 5, even if we finish in the bottom 4.

Perhaps a priority pick at the end of the first round? Would help Melbourne potentially trade for an experienced older player from another club, but not give them access to ruin yet another potential top gun of the comp.

A bit sceptical in bringing more WA personnel or players over, they either want to go home or not up to it..!! LOL

 

[Manimal_Dunstan]

Foxtel Cup on at the moment, Werribee V Queenbeyan, Ben Brown looking good as a forward at the moment.

True, but some people are 'genetically superior' in that they have a greater maximum potential, and/or have cells that are inherently more efficient with their oxygen use.

 

[hayes]

Keep an eye on those defenders.

 

[Manimal_Dunstan]

Not bad effort by Kade Klemke 10 Disposals, Queanbeyans player/coach at just 22-23!! Not what we need though playing as Half back in this game mainly.

Either predominately fast twitch or slow twitch muscle fibres.

 

[Manimal_Dunstan]

Former Melbourne player current North player Jordan Gysberts is looking good in this game though.

lol i dont think we would draft madut. he is a long way off of looking like being able to play AFL football. he is learning quickly though and his development in the last 3 months has been great to watch

maybe in 3 years time he'll be worth a look at for a rookie list spot. great story though for subi and the WAFL

its great to see the sudanese community get involved in aussie rules football, be it at any level

 

[Manimal_Dunstan]

11 Disposals, 6 Marks, 2 goals for Ben Brown start of the 4th quarter against Queanbeyan for anyone interested and aren't watching.

Barry Hall and Cameron Mooney talking him up a lot, They said they see him as a good AFL prospect.

We talked about Rookie-ing Majak 3-4 years ago too...all it needs is someone to take a punt!

 

[Falchoon]

Gone are the days that clubs trade away their #1 draft pick, you genuinely have to finish 18th and i know we wont GWS or Melb will need that draft pick and won't bargain.

Melbourne has shown that stockpiling No. 1's is a no panacea, as in some ways did Carlton. It'll be up for trade for the right price.

GWS desperately need to fill their list with >25 year olds, they had 5 players over the age of 23 this week, Setanta, Gilham, Giles, Mohr and Palmer, none of whom would get a gig elsewhere, they have enough young talent, some hardened bodies will better their cause.

Caddy couldn't kick before he got to Geelong.

We dodged a bullet there

I've got some Sudanese neighbours, gave the young boys an old Saints footy a while back..
Day after day their kicking the footy in the street, just the way we did as kids every day after school..

But the real kick i got a few weeks ago, they both had St.Kilda jumpers on..!!

 

[Manimal_Dunstan]

Wonder if they'll take Boyd.. Just states Franklin and a picture of Gumbleton

I reckon Mohr would get a gig with us currently
