List Mgmt. 2014 Draft Trade FA Megathread

[Winmar2Lockett]

Rhys is never going to be a star, the best we or Geelong or whoever could hope is for him to become a consistent solid player.

I certainly don't see him leaving a huge hole or being irreplaceable, whether we draft Two Meter Peter or not. I have great faith that Hickey & Longer will develop into ruckmen that can go forward when needed. Billy did it throughout his junior career...IMO he just needs to get physically stronger to start clunking marks.

As someone mentioned before, adding Membrey & having Bruce as a quality fwd/back swingman gives Richo the flexibility needed. We all have great hope that Spencer will make CHF his own next season, so he needs to play there & fast track his experience ASAP. If we trade down to 4 & take either Peter or Paddy then they need to be factored into the equation as well.

Rhys looks like the odd man out. If we can get #14 from the Cats (even by throwing in something else) then it's one of the calculated risks that need to be taken.

Why are we trying to sweeten the deal for Geelong?

 

[dewah07]

this doesnt feel right, so we never will know if rhys was ever going to be dominent .

 

[saintsrfreak]

And if that's the case we may take McCartin

melb - Brayshaw
Melb - Wright
GWS - Petracca

No thx, if we want McCartin we should trade down, if we keep #1 Petracca all the way
Inconceivable that he'd make it past pick 2

 

[Barrels]

Also we trade him for 21 and we're essentially flipping Stanley for Mckenzie. Is that worth it?

Barrels?

Well... We're not really because Carlscum would have to be odds on to take him at Pick 19.

Son of a premiership player and all that.

 

[Periphery]

If we can get #14 from the Cats (even by throwing in something else) then it's one of the calculated risks that need to be taken.

Except it looks like it would be 21 not 14.

Its pretty much done.
I wouldn't be cancelling any memberships over Rhys Stanley leaving for goodness sake.
We now will have 3 picks in the top 23.
Pettracca will have you thinking about cancelling your membership I promise you!

I'm actually a bit sick in my stomach atm. Got this gut feeling that we're making a mistake..

 

[Speck]

No way to Stanley for 21. He started to come on this year.

How'd you feel when we traded Ben? Rhys has shown even less

 

[SK_MD_#7]

I wonder if we look at getting Luke Lowden? more of a ruck/forward over Hickey/Longer/Pierce.

 

[Joffaboy]

Sounds like we are getting Petracca

if we aren't trade #1

Boyd not up for trade

We get Petracca

McCartin and Wright gone by #6

Dogs fans go apeshit

 

[Falchoon]

Exactly what i said last week when i heard he may be up for trade. His navicular is stuffed, no wonder he tried the Hird juice. I guess he'll fall into the Matty Egan category now. Would be amazed if he ever plays another game TBH

shyte news for the young fella, was never a star but could have been a more than handy Luke Ball type

 

[Periphery]

BRB buying matches, gasoline and a map to Seaford.

 

[Defacto]

i think for our sake and stanleys we have to do the deal. go back and look at the armitage wearing the mic footage from our game against richmond, then come back here and tell me everything is ok with him at the saints

he needs to leave to save his career IMO

 

[Persevering Saint]

Officially means he's gone, I'd suggest. I don't like it, but there you go.

McKenzie better be one of those other picks. McCartin and Wright will be gone by our second. We need another tall forward.

Really think this is a stupid move. Act of desperation.

 

[karaoke]

We all spoke during the year, discussing how do we play Longer, Hickey & Stanley in the one team.

Perhaps this is our answer.........

 

[Persevering Saint]

Sounds like we are getting Petracca

if we aren't trade #1

Boyd not up for trade

We get Petracca

McCartin and Wright gone by #6

Dogs fans go apeshit

Seriously man, never leave again.

 

[Present Not Past]

How'd you feel when we traded Ben? Rhys has shown even less

Yes, but we got Shane Savage, pick 18 and pick 19.

 

[dascman03]

Ameet's comments on the Saints website suggest Stanley is all but gone. Pick 21 is pretty good compo IMO.

 

[Joffaboy]

look on the bright side.

We keep Armo

We keep jack Steven

we get Petracca

Tommy Lee about to EXPLODE

Membrey about to become an absolute SUPERSTAR

We still have Roo for at least two seasons

 

[Feerits Elf]

I certainly don't see him leaving a huge hole or being irreplaceable, whether we draft Two Meter Peter or not.

Nothing sweeter than a two-metre Peter filling a huge hole.

BRB, need a cold shower

 

[saintsrfreak]

Yes, but we got Shane Savage, pick 18 and pick 19.

While giving up our second rounder as well

 

[HayesTheChamp]

How'd you feel when we traded Ben? Rhys has shown even less

I was happy with the McEvoy trade, he was a known quantity. He for the last two years we had him, there was little to no improvement, while already being established as our no1 ruckman.

Rhys hasn't had the comparable continuity in his career so far. He also still shows flashes of brilliance, against the Bombers and Freo as notable examples. When we're flying in 2-3 years time, I'm willing to bet, so will he. Comparatively their sizes when coming to the club were different, McEvoy was already stocky enough to not get bowled over, Rhys has always needed time, and when he's finally starting to show his potential, we offload him and a sweetener for pick 21? Disappointing imo.

 

[MightySaint]

Here is the crucial question in all this for anyone in the know: if we keep pick 1, are we actually getting Petracca?
