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

Wouldn't mind us chase Armitage or Steven

My understanding is that we have to pay 100% of the cap, or at least 95% of it as per afl rules. I think that is why so many players signed extensions late last year. The club pulled the offer to buddy and with the cash (obviously not all of it) front loaded a whole lot of other players contracts.

Yep, but a pretty big difference between 95 and 100, in fact I think it may even be 5%..(approx 500k right?)

In all seriousness though, if a lot of contracts have been front loaded I wonder how much we have free in the cap for next year. That money has to be spent somewhere, I just think the club may be more advanced with who they are going to get, and exactly how much room in the cap we will have to offer.

Steven is no chance
Armitage is no good

Steven is no chance
Armitage is no good?

My sources tell me we're into Mav Weller.

That would be three years in a row. We must really want him

Just think how good we would be with Weller, Carroll and Campbell. Did some say 4peat?

I think we should trade for Patrick Dangerfield this year before he becomes a free agent. I think our first rounder and TO would do it.

Yeah that would do it... LOL

 

[treefingers]

He'd need something like a top 5 pick and another gun player. At least. Anything less and people are kidding themselves.

Think about it OP - would we have traded Hodge or Mitchell in their prime, for pick 15 and an unproven player?

Make it happen Pelchen.

I think we would be giving up too much. How about Garlett and Spangher, for Dangerfield and their 2nd pick.

Seems legit.

According to possibly unreliable gossip we're already mounting a rear attack on Freo via Mundy. I have nothing against the idea that our big stealing methods continue to bring amazing results and hell, whom amongst you would admit to not having a lot fun with speculating but this kid is worth not the effort.

Everybody hates us anyway. I say Patrick, you are welcome to choose Hawthorn because we like the idea of you as well.

I feel our list is getting to long in the tooth to be chasing Mundy!!!

Could not agree more. We will have a pretty good idea how our window is looking by the end of the year. My gut tells me our chance to go back to back actually ended in 2012. Would prefer to use the cash on younger free agents than Mundy over the next couple of years. Hence Dangerfield should be the choice.
On the flip side, if we end up performing well in September and our senior players finish the year strongly; Mundy may be worth a punt.

 

[Aeon05]

Pretty sure he loves Adelaide?

 

[cryptor]

Agree with a couple of the last few posts. Ideally a mid in the same age bracket as Lewis or slightly younger.

I splurted out my mouthful of tea when I read this

If they were 100% leaving for nothing in a year then maybe.

Not at all and I understand your adherence to non risk taking technology, Rowie.

The idea being that the fright that we're about to lose our view through the premiership window is not to be under any circumstances to be not avoided. Contingency has as much credence in that argument as necessity. I hope you can see by now what the problem is for Hawthorn.

I'm calling this my ideal miss theory.

 

[kenneje]

If I'm Adelaide, I'm trading him to Hawthorn for a minimum of first round pick (17-18), second round pick (35-36), T Obrien and one of Breust or Smith. Not worth it, lets just wait til he's a free agent and have a crack.

Next to buckleys of getting Dangerfield in my opinion

Absolutely agree.

From what I've heard around town it's a fanciful notion.

 

[WWSD]

Get Dayne Beams. He comes out of contract next year.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Buddy was always going to be a Giant too though Grizz

Dangerfield has history with Geelong.
