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

[L_W_P]

Carlton is surely the least likely club in the whole comp to bid on Rice. Carlton is the only club he's specifically said 'no' to.

The worry was they would bid early to spite us and force us into the negative.

No need to worry about that now.

 

[TheJackal]

If we don't get the points it eats into our 2016 first rounder which would = poor option.

We must have something else up our sleeve.

 

[Captain Paddy]

If Rice wasn't a father son, would we want him?

 

[CHBench]

This final hour is always so anti-climactic.

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Haha Carlton folded.

 

[Baughb]

Wasnt it regarding McCarthy & GWS?

Yup, my bad.

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

Blues have #19 now...Yarran gone to Tigers

 

[Jack Stevens]

We don't have any back to back picks this year. 25 minutes to rectify that.

 

[The_Steadier]

Drug scandals aside, I'd give the boys a B+ this year. Thought they did a great job in tough circumstances.

Yeah B+ but only assuming we have enough points for rice.

 

[sauce_head]

Really concerned that we won't have enough points for Rice

We probably have enough points for how highly we rate him.

No it doesn't. The points come off the pick in the round the bid came in.

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

They'll use 19 to bid on Rice... we might need to move someone pretty quick smart to get another pick in the 30's/40's.

They'll use 19 and 11 for Tomoinson

I seriously doubt they'll bid on Rice. He pretty much told them he'd rather play for another team. And 19 sounds way too high according to most.

 

[Keg on legs]

Gee there are some negative Nancy's in here!

 

[crasha301]

No it doesn't. The points come off the pick in the round the bid came in.

Because we don't have a 2nd round pick (atm) what happens?

 

[saintbondy]

sure are...

 

[Periphery]

Because we don't have a 2nd round pick (atm) what happens?

Not sure. I can only assume it comes off our 3rd/4th.

 

[aussierulesrules]

They will take all the senior talent they can get.

For all the people talking about them losing the 'Go Home 5' and James Aish, they have brought in Christensen, Beams, Robinson, Walker, Jansen, Bell and Bastinac.

Draft Schache at pick 2, get Rockliff and Hanley fully fit and they start looking decent IMO.

Don't forget they'll also get their academy selections at a significantly discounted rate, so their list will potentially be a lot stronger next year.

If someone could let me know what Brisbane are doing getting rid of picks 17 and 26 for a plodder, 38, 40 and a future third, that'd be great.

They are being very smart with their pick positioning. If they can use later picks to get their academy selections and higher picks to trade for immediate best 22 types, then they are maximizing the value of all their picks. In this draft late picks are worth SFA to clubs that don't have an academy or F/S selection, but they are worth a fair bit more to clubs who do, who only need their relative points value.

 

[saintsman24]

I really hope we can squeeze an early 2nd round pick out...

Can any team have an academy, and weren't we setting up that or an excellence centre or something?

 

[MadSaint66]

I just hope the reason we didn't get deals done today was because of outside influences

Would have been interesting if he didn't sign a 2 year extension a couple months ago.

Well played Tigers. Shows the merit of waiting out.
