List Mgmt. 2015 general list discussion and speculation - PLEASE START NEW THREAD ON BREAKING NEWS

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

If he wanted out... gee... bye
Not going to get big money anywhere.

Might go from 500 to 700 maybe.

Would be a big get for a team like Richmond, Bullies, Freo as well as Bombers and at the same time totally sink us.

surely someone would throw up more then that.
I reckon he would get huge money from a few clubs

 

[Teriyakicat]

If Martin was available, and it's highly unlikely, I would take him in a heartbeat. I couldn't give a stuff if he's got tatts or not.
He is the type of player Geelong is clearly lacking at the moment.
He's quick, strong, a good user of the ball and can play as an inside or outside midfielder. He certainly has the potential to be elite.
He is one player in the AFL who I believe needs a change of clubs. Given the right club with a strong culture and leadership group (something Richmond is severely lacking), he can be pulled into line and become one of the best players in the comp.

I don't know much about him (only what's in the papers) but I think some players are very difficult to change behaviorally- and he appears to be refusing to give up his "unsavoury" associates. Might be a bit like the Ben Cousins issue where he moved interstate to assist with trying to break away from the 'naughty' boys.

If you're Freo with a youngish list constantly knocking on the door. You'd find a million a year for him. Pies too.

 

[Teriyakicat]

I know I'll get shot down here but I'd like us to look at Vickery. Seems to be on his way out of Richmond and has proven his abilities before albeit he has had a terrible year. Would be ahead of Vardy, Brown and Walker to play as a second key forward and he's in the age bracket we need (he's 24).

Three Richmond rejects in Derickx, Nahas and Matt White are playing good football elsewhere this season and Vickery seems in clear need of a change of scenery.

I reckon if Richmond keep losing their players to other clubs, the AFL might step in to stop the mass exodus.

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Hey guys

Dogs fan here. Any chance you guys can let us have billie smedts? Seems to be playing out of position off half-back and we are DESPERATE for some speed and goal-kicking. Did I mention we were desperate?

Thanks...

Ps - desperate

Swap for Libba?

I don't see how. Who have they lost anyway?

If he wanted a million he has to go.
No way is he worth a million. Based on the last couple of games maybe.
But that's how cloke got his contract.

I meant that's what Freo would offer him. Not us.
"If you're Freo...."

He would be worth a million to a few teams.
But he won't go.
and will stay for much much less.

 

[vinum coupe]

Which is great, what would we offer him, and what differential would it take?
If we were to offer him 400k less per year for 5 I reckon that's enough.

What about Ben Griffiths?
200 cm, starved of opportunities, still young.

 

[manboob]

I think maybe a little bit more. Taylor signed for 5 years at 600k a year. Tummy is worth as much.

If he signs for 5 years that takes him to 30 and that awkward stage. So he'd want 600k

 

[Teriyakicat]

I don't see how. Who have they lost anyway?

fpm quoted a few names above (were they delistings? I don't know) and names like Vickery, Martin and Riewoldt have been put up here in recent days.

 

[you pick one]

3 years at around the 7 mark I reckon for Tommy.

Last two are dead set gone if Hardwick keeps his job.

i would take both!

I agree- he is a Geelong boy and knows that the club has been very patient with him over the years, waiting for him to achieve his potential. Then they nursed him through his crook back last year. He loves the club and, as a father/son, I can't see him going anywhere- no matter what money is offered.

 

[Teriyakicat]

3 years at around the 7 mark I reckon for Tommy.

He might like a longer contract than just 3 years. He turns 26 next month- that's still young for a big bloke.

 

[Tackle_happy]

True.

He is about to hit that age bracket (26-29) where the big forwards seem to really dominate and have finally grown into their skin and know how to use their skill and strength to the best of their abilities.

 

[wcadams88]

Scott Selwood will be a FA at the end of next year. If WC keep on sucking might be worth a looking.

Hopefully Joel can convince him to come down to the cattery.

Harry had the go home factor plus Freo wanted him may have drove hes price up a bit.Nothing stopping them Or any other club to come sniffing for Tommy.I don't think he will go anywhere but never say never.

You guys should play Honeychurch.

After GAj id say nothing is impossible and if Hawk gets the Willy Wonka golden Ticket it would be tough to keep him. All the things we said about GAJ and the Crows are saying about Danger would apply to Hawk.

Id agree it would be a MONSTEROUS offer to get him to leave but you just never know these days sadly....

GO Catters

- I never want him to leave and hope like hell he signs back with us... FYI...
