List Mgmt. 2016 Trade, Draft and free agency news (no hypothetical trades)

[crazywildhorse]

Chances of there being a Matt Suckling bnf moment tonight from Tom at Swans best n fairest? Wouldn't hate that at all

He's not even played 50 games

 

[butlers hawks]

He's not even played 50 games

I mean like an announcement that he is heading off from them

 

[tige19]

Tbh I don't care who goes, as long as we improve the areas of major concern, and the biggest concern is the midfield. If that means we sacrifice a poppy or Punky or Sicily or whoever then so be it, we move on and we get better.

Vickery will at least provide a big target for us which is going to help Gunno and Sicily no end, also gives the Ruff man some free reign when he comes back.

If we can juggle and move some pieces (players,picks) to help improve our KPD stocks that would be ideal as well.

Brand - re-sign
Vickery - RFA signing
JOM - trade
TOM - trade
Barret (if this is legit) - trade

Those as a collective will rapidly improve our chances next year regardless if we lose any 1 of Sic/Pop/Punky.

Puopulo wont be part of the JOM trade. Why would GC want a 29 year old small forward. He holds more value to us.

I have said all along. If any forward is involved in this trade, it will be Sciliy. He is good, young and holds value.

A general rule is if you think its a good trade, and you would happily do it. Its too good to be true.

Jedi trade last year?

 

[Great 2008]

Never shed a tear when Franklin left. Just wanted to knock some sense into him. If Poppy goes I will be very down. Just love him. Some of his clutch goals this year were gold. He will leave a big hole on and off the field.

Eade would love to get Puopolo to the club, to show the kids what work ethic looks like. That why he's there, they needed a hard ass to fix the mess McKenna facilitated.

People do seem to forget we gave up 2 late second rounders with that trade also.

But the rule more applies for trading in gun players.

Brisbane get a priority pick (19*)

Brisbane get a priority pick (19*)

bloody disgrace what a corrupt piece of crap that commission has turned into

where is hawks handout?
"It was ruled that the Lions met the requirements for a priority pick when considering the club’s current age and list profile, as well as recent movement both in and out of the club."
Id say we meet that comfortably, lost 6 assistant coaches buddy suckling etc etc

 

[Hawkboy62]

Am I the only one who can't see why GC would want Poppy? Surely they'd baulk purely on his age alone?

Very, very good player and I'd hate to lose him but I just can't see them fawning over a 29yo

If this true it could be a win-win situation for both clubs. Suns are after 5 or 6 quality seasoned players so that they be competitive next year. With 6 picks under 30 plus Prestia/ JOM compensation they will heaps of chances to draft quality for 2018 and onwards.

Suns have the quality talls with Lynch, 2 metre Peter and day. Poppy provides the defensive pressure and reliable goal kicking that will help them. Also provide experience and guidance to their other forwards.

Love Poppy too but we have promising small forwards who can play a similar role; plus, if we get more midfield grunt, we can play Cyril forward more.

ummm.....#threepeat

 

[HolyRioli]

He had a very nice send off. Always gave his best - even when enfuriating everyone. Went through injuries and ended up playing his part in 2 flags.

Was sad he missed out at the Dogs this year. Had a chance to join Burgoyne as a current multi club flag winner.

Swans have timed their B and F nicely. Trades start tomorrow.

Not quite. Trades start Monday, Free Agency starts tomorrow

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Brisbane get the same compensation for nothing what we received for losing Lance Franklin LOL.

I agree. i don't think they need the pick as they played themselves and got into this situation by themselves.

also on the trade news front does anyone know if ty will officially accept our offer tomorrow and wether the tiges will match?

 

[Mitchell54]

Like every team that receives a priority pick?

Greg swann on sen just laughed at suggestion breust could leave hawthorn

Wording I heard today is the paperwork should be ready to put in tomorrow once a few kinks are ironed out. Think Tigers likely not to match but it depends on the amount of the contract. Originally reported they would get potentially a second round pick or end of second round. They would be happy with a pick after their second round and would likely not take a risk on the end of second round but if its a third rounder it would make it interesting to see what they do. As it stands they would get one of pick 26, 38 or 44. If they match they are asking hawks to beat 38 to get a trade done and you wouldnt think that would happen as we would be giving up 14 already and our only other pick is 33

(all these numbers are after Brisbanes gift today)

 

[bradburygold]

ummm.....#threepeat

Im just going off their horrible explanation for it which I thought was my obvious point, not arguing for it

They should tell us a proper reason/ formula

 

[bradburygold]

Like every team that receives a priority pick?

No other team has received a pick under current system- we were told there would be special criteria which brisbane only meets if it means "shoot self in foot"

Anyway on to hawks stuff

 

[HolyRioli]

Like every team that receives a priority pick?

Argueable. They didn't have a lot of choice about Yeo, Aish, Docherty, Polec, etc all wanting to leave.

Yeah they got smashed over the past few years could argue that the only two players of note to keep during that period are the two that are now being spoken about to leave. Having said that they still managed to bring in Beams and Christensen who were going pretty well at the time, not to mention guns like Bell and Robinson from Carlton

 

[Flukey!]

Ch9 just reporting that Vickery will be a Hawk.
