List Mgmt. 2015 Trade, Draft, Rookie Draft and FA Megathread

[Jack Stevens]

I wouldn't put it passed Carlton to take Mitch Brown with pick 1 in the national draft.

That said, I have heard that they are looking very closely at Andre the Giant with that pick.

 

[St Pauls]

Tim Golds anyone?

I'm backing in Trout to pick up a good Rookie or two.

@Stevo7AFL: Bailey Rice met agent Mark Kleiman in Carlton FC cafe Wednesday. Seemed a strange place given StK commitment. Blues not fried re Rice yet?

 

[Barrels]

Also means Minchington can consolidate his spot as next mid in the queue.

Gosh Mark Stevens hates us.

Stevo's a damn pest.

He's nominated us. Done. Over.

 

[The Punter]

Regarding Rice, does anyone think we'll get him if we have to overpay to get him?

I think we'll overpay if necessary just for the PR and the long suffering fans with no F/S

So 2016 delistings................

Fisher - figure this is the swan song
Lee - due to wanting to go this year and no opportunities likely with Dempster and Fisher still on the list this year.
Curren - 23 and overtaken by younger
Shenton - 25 and overtaken by younger
Saunders off rookie list

Doubt that will be enough unless we trade out a couple so Minch, Murdoch and Wright will be under pressure, Eli too unless he improves on last year

Need to convince Dempster, Montagna and Roo to go again. Chances are Dempster and Roo will go at the end of 2017 though which is when we'll probably start cutting into guys that we currently still have high hopes for and who they'll be is anyone's guess.

 

[sammm]

Not sure I see the point of re-rookieing Saunders.

If we don't see a spot for him going forward, we don't see a spot for him.

I assume because he has a contract still

It's an odd dynamic though isn't it. The team bidding outside of the 1st round knows full well there's no point so will they bother, the previous system there was less certainty and less transparency so less of an issue for the bidding team

Source was probably Gillo though. He's trying to get over the disappointment somehow.

 

[Barrels]

Just looks... right...

Carlton are probably just doing their due diligence in case we don't match the bid, which I believe we will even if it's a bit more than we were hoping.

Agreed and I reckon we would be fully supporting that. Makes it easier for us to pass on him if he goes earlier than we wanted to pay for him.

Saints have more currency to match any bid after our #19 and I doubt we'd use #19 to take him anyway but stranger things have happened. Given any points deficit in that scenario would apply to the second round next year, Saints will match things every time.

Maybe Bailey likes the coffee there, maybe it was a convenient meeting place. It is open to the public.

Seems like a beat up. He nominated the Saints, he's not having second thoughts.

No I mean we will match the bid even if it's a bit more than we were hoping.

I wonder how that works now that we've traded our 2016 2nd rounder?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Good point. Would they take your 3rd or take it out of the more valuable first. Maybe you have to trade back into the 2nd round?

 

[aussierulesrules]

Would have to look at the fine print to get that answer I guess!

 

[Periphery]

imo they'd have to take the extra points out of our 3rd or later picks.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

So were 2012 Tom Lee and late 2011 Arryn Siposs. Not everyone gets better under a new coach That said im very happy with where our list and development are.

We have a few DFA options to fill that spot left by Saunders if we dont want to use pick 60 -


Matthew Stokes. Could be a short term option to help with that outside run and carry that we lack. Would play the Schneider role.

Matthew Stokes is not to be allowed anywhere within 20Km of Jake Carlisle

Seriously what are you hoping to achieve with some of these idea's? Might as well keep Farren Ray.

 

[majortinkle]

I think they're making up the fine print as they go along

 

[SaintsSeptember]

I've seen people suggesting he's worthy of a second round draft pick.
But then we have the wishful thinkers here that think no-one will bid on him until 3rd or 4th round.

Murdoch will need to do ..... something.
So far Lee, Curren, Shenton , and Saunders have shown more than Murdoch.
