List Mgmt. 2017 GC Draft/Trade Thread/FA - National Draft Pick 19

[SUNS]

Just banned my first Freo tool. Really disappointing, because as a whole, they have been a pretty respectful bunch.

 

[Myles]

Swans might trade pick 14 for one of your better second rounders and your 2018 second? Pick 14 plus something should get Weller done, no way will you give up pick 2, almost guaranteed to be a gun.

Points only matter to clubs who use picks that get converted to points, that's academy & F/S bids. You need to trade for the pick/s that can get your man. You don't want players nominating you then not getting them over the line. It's what makes Hawks so well regarded, they get nominated, they get the deal done even if they over pay like they did for O'Meara last year.

It took the hawks up until the last day to offer anything close to what we wanted, they spent 2 weeks offering under and even traded away the pick they could have given us.

Just hope this doesn't backfire on us. Perth clubs will be chasing Cal hard next year

Yeah but it's not all bad because it was probably him or Barlow Yeah? Barlow has been a champ

haha what's that saying about the pot and the kettle, or is it projectiles and glass houses..

I’m a changed man Mr Green. I’m mellowing.

Also I’ve only posted on other boards a couple of times and ive always been courteous.

Trade radio reporting there's some movement in the Ablett trade.
Ablett now happy to give money back to the Suns.
They are saying Pick 35 and Lang for Ablett

I have not been an Ablett basher at all through this. But I was privvy to the reasons of him wanting out earlier than most. Hopefully by him putting his hand into his own pocket to pay us back helps with the hard feelings people have

Jeez that's a bit uncomfortable

Isn't the whole situation around cap space rather than the actual cash

If Lang is part of the deal Geelong will pay some of his wage as well

 

[SunsBhoy]

That sounds fair , get it done Scotty.

Depends what picks though..

Even geelongs second rounder will be handy as we will obviously need to package up multiple picks to get weller.

I dare say it will be a future pick

 

[SUNS]

Just want to look at this on paper

In:
Lang
Weller
Young
Swallow

Ok, hopefully we get it done

 

[kreglze]

If they don't budge off 2 first rounders, I am happy to leave Weller. Would be great, but he is no world beater at the moment.

Exactly - who gives a shit about actual $$$ - it's about having more cap room to get a better team.

I can only think that what they meant was Ablett will take less than he is contractually entitled to in 2018 to enable Geelong to be able to pay some of Lang's salary to indirectly provide us a refund/salary cap relief for 2018.

Young talk gone quiet , we still in there?

 

[eighties]

Really havent noticed Lang much to be honest as i hate watching Geelong play. What sort of player is he? can he hit a target?

Yep spot on, Ablett knows he will make the rest up from old mate frank costa
