List Mgmt. 2017 Trade and Free Agency Discussion - #Leverpulled and #Harleyrevved

[Russian Demon]

If we go for Mason Cox, i will burn my membership forever. I would literally rather plant an 8 foot scarescrow in the centre square and play without a ruckman that take that pissweak giraffe.

 

[TheCount]

Here's a thought that i'll get shut down for, but how About Sam Reid as a second forward while weed develops


Meantime here is a list of out of contract players i'm interested in, Bold indicated super keenness
Adelaide - J Lever
Brisbane - E Hipwood, J Schache , J Freeman
Carlton - J Weitering (unlikely) Casbault (Yes i'm crazy)
Collingwood - M Cox
Essendon - Zaharakis (Res), Fantasia
Fremantle - N Fyfe
Geelong - D Menzel
Gold Coast - B Matera, D Swallow (Not worth throwing the house at though), M Shaw, S May
Greater Western Sydney - D Smith, J Kelly
St Kilda - D Roberton
Sydney - Sam Reid, Zak Jones, G Rohan (See Swallow)

By some sort of keenness to realism scale, Lever sits top for me.

Apparently we nearly landed Toby Greene as part of the Josh Kelly deal, imagine we had landed Salem, Tyson and Greene that would have been handy.

Makes you wonder why we didn't go for him, if Roos says he was being shopped around for 'a bag of chips'?

No guarantee he'd have come so good with us though

 

[Marc_Remillard]

He's a free agent and he's an outside mid who kicks goals. There's just not many of those players out there you can get. Dump Vince from the side and we have the room

Kicked 5 goals in 2016, 9 in 2015 and currently on 4. Had one really good season for goals in 2011 which was 31.

Not sure you could classify him as a goalkicking mid with those stats?

Played more inside last year due to the suspended players. 31 is pretty good. Anyway I don't need stats to tell me he can kick a goal.

I don't see many better options out there

And in 6 years he hasn't been able to get anywhere near those figures.

Righto
Suggest someone better who's realistic

No, you're right, he is the only one playing right now who is a goal kicking midfielder. There is literally no one else who can do what he does.

Offer him $1m a year

See this all you can add. Smart ass comments yet when challenged your unable to add anything constructive just like when asked what rucks were available.

You embarrassed yourself with Hibberd. You afraid of doing that again?

Tell me an outside player we can get. You can't because all you can do is read stats and criticize players

How do you know we can get him?

You're very good at making smart arsed personal comments, I actually tried to have a discussion with you about Zaha, he actually used to be one of my favourite non-Melbourne players but I've noticed over the last couple of seasons his form has dropped off compared to his early days. His two way running and his goal kicking ability seems to have dropped off.

But all you want to do is revert back to some pathetic internet vendetta that you have with me. You come across as a spoilt little brat throwing a tantrum if someone doesn't agree with you.

To suggest that he is the only player available is laughable considering you have nfi if he is in fact available in the first place. From what I know of him he absolutely loves the Bombers and wants to be a one club player. You make blind statements and call them facts but in reality you have nfi just like the rest of us

Mate he's a free agent. He's realistic due to the Goodwin factor.
My opinion on Zaka is he suffered just like the others during the scandal and had to shoulder the midfield on his own with zerret last year
A move and a great start could be exactly what he needs
If you can't name anyone else thats fine

 

[Marc_Remillard]

Mate he's a free agent. He's realistic due to the Goodwin factor.
If you can't name anyone else I'm done with this conversation cause your not adding anything to it

And another thing, you demand facts from me but when I actually give you facts such as his stats and actual performances over the last couple of years to engage in a conversation you rubbish me and have a go at me for doing that.

So what do you want me to do, give you facts or not?

This pathetic internet vendetta you have with me is hilarious.

I never asked for facts your just dancing around the answer like you did in the other thread.
There's no vendetta mate, don't flatter yourself. I'd have to respect anything you say for it to be important

 

[schmuttt]

Topkent usually I got your back but unfortunately I don't see Zaharakis fixing any of our current needs because he is a bad two way runner and gets shut down if the opposition pay him even the slightest attention.

LOL, you have a glass jaw. You're happy to hand out the smart arsed comments but you crack the sads when anyone replies the same way.

I'm more than happy to discuss Zaharakis with you, but from what I've heard there is almost no chance of him leaving Essendon.

 

[Proper Gander]

Oh shut up

all of you

ALL OF YOU

You better have facts to back these comments up or look out

Both of you take it to PMs if it's going to be another shitfight please

So where are your facts?

If anyone even thinks about calling someone "champ..."

Sorry Champ

 

[Cannon82]

Settle down, tiger.

 

[The Dr]

I wonder how much room we have in our cap? We have a number of players that we'll have to look after as they continue to improve (think Tracc, Oliver, Hunt etc, who will deserve big payrises) ... but do we have a 'war chest' so to speak, or will we have to be a bit thrifty?

The other interesting thing will be to keep an eye out on what we do with our first round pick (guessing anywhere from pick 7-12?) ... use it on a trade, or pick best available in the draft?
