List Mgmt. 2014 Free Agency, draft and trades news and discussion **Not the trade hypotheticals thread"

[List Manager]

Cross Fyfe off your list. More chance of Noah coaching the Cats this week than there is of Fyfe leaving Freo.

You must still be in camp Cotchin by the sound of it Echols

So that's Fyfe and Danger firmly off your list then?

 

[Thaihawk]

I've watched them quite a few times and they're coming along very nicely.

Point remains, regardless of where they fit in the pecking order, you don't just load up your list with a plethora of one type of player.In this case KPD.

We have other needs as well.

Well said Echols. I'm sure, if our recruiters were to read threads like these, they would have many laughs. I am quite willing to put my faith in their hands rather than make idle uninformed speculation.
They have the runs on the board.

What is Gary Rohan's contract status? Like Tom Mitchell he's unable to crack a game at the moment. Assuming his leg has healed he could be a good pick up and would add to our Ranga stocks.

Gary Rohan is cooked. He can't play for any extended period of time without pain in his leg.

 

[Hodginator]

I'd look at Zaha. Not sure what it would take to get him but he's only 24 and can play.

 

[threesixpio]

Or perhaps we're going make an offer to someone a year out from free agency, and give the club an opportunity to get something for them, ala Lake.

When is big brother Hill available?

 

[QuietB]

I'd look at Zaha. Not sure what it would take to get him but he's only 24 and can play.

We would have to give them Buddy, and we don't even have him anymore. They are the worst to deal with in the AFL.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

When is big brother Hill available?

Smith, Hill, Hartung on the list already. Would we even bother?

 

[List Manager]

C'mon now....they gave us a first round pick for Mark Williams which ultimately gave us Shaun Burgoyne

 

[List Manager]

Nope

 

[threesixpio]

Nope

Then sounds like an inside midfielder....

 

[Holy Rioli]

Speaking of Jordan Kelly he is Lachie Whitfield's cousin.

Wow I didn't know that - you surely must be the first person to bring that up

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Did you know Dustin Fletcher is old?

Joe blogs was born after Dustin Fletcher debuted, I know this because I've heard it mentioned, tweeted, joked, facebooked and posted only about 600 times now.

He must really hate Lindsay Thomas

 

[Prudster]

He must really hate Lindsay Thomas

Who doesn't?

 

[Hodginator]

Get Bootsma to fix our backline woes

 

[List Manager]

This may be old news to some but I can confirm the rumour that Dylan Shiel did in fact seek a trade to get him back to Victoria last season (believed to be Melbourne) and that he will once again be seeking a trade back to Victoria at seasons end.

 

[MrPremiership]

ok, IF we wanted Shiel, and he wanted us......how would we get the deal done. No use throwing names around without these thoughts.

A first round pick on its own would not be enough.

Thoughts?
Suckling and a second rounder?

Yep, might need a first rounder though. Shiel is a gun.

This may be old news to some but I can confirm the rumour that Dylan Shiel did in fact seek a trade to get him back to Victoria last season (believed to be Melbourne) and that he will once again be seeking a trade back to Victoria at seasons end.

Which begs the question why he signed a new deal?

 

[RustyHawk]

Why dont we get ex blue Josh Bootsma. I hear he is available

 

[MrPremiership]

Yep, might need a first rounder though. Shiel is a gun.

Would we be happy to trade our first round pick (15-18ish) and Suckling?
Would GWS be happy with that?

50-50 I reckon

I'd be thinking a multi club trade including our first round pick if we were to be his club of choice.
Remember that the HFC have a knack for recruiting good people with very good leadership qualities (queue the Dayle Garlett comments if you must)
Dylan Shiel is one of those people so there's something to consider.

22 year old, inside mid with leadership qualities. Sound familiar to what the HFC needs???

I cannot think of anything more fruitless, to be honest.

That's what he says to all the girls, Rusty.

He's a knob !!
