List Mgmt. 2017 Trade & FA Targets Part 2

[gringo2011]

Yep don't waste our money and picks on another costly Blackman because unless the midfield comes good the backline will struggle whoever is there

I agree with your strange racist statement. We need mid fielders not backs.

I'm a fan of Zak Jones.... But, he isn't a midfielder in the true sense (not just yet anyway). Those high possession games have been when he's played the spitter - & played the 2 types of spitter: (1) the attacking loose man off the back of the square, (2) the attacking loose distributor around the ground of the back of the stoppage. He is excelling in both, and even though he's technically a 'loose' man, his accountability has impressed me, as he is always working hard defensively.

I feel he'd be awesome in that Jack Steven type position through the midfield for short stints in future, while Jack has a rest forward or off for a rotation. When Jack plays midfield, you could sit Jones off half back in the role Joey is playing (obviously looking long term here)

I believe he could make a very good midfielder given the opportunites...

Yeah, I mean with his father's connection to the club, and being a Norf supporter as a child and all, you'd think he'd just go there for the love of it
wouldn't you?

Norf remind me of the little kid that had to tie a lamb chop around his neck just so the dog would play with him...

I think I want him purely just for their melt more than anything else

I hear Norf prefer chickens

Thanks.
This deserves further investigation.
I don't believe it is that simple (this is the AFL!)
The problem with your thoughts is that if they've funded us at 100% when we have paid 95%, we still have managed to lose money.
If they withheld the missing 5%, not so bad.
If they passed it on.....
That's not sustainable.
And the logical extension to that is that they will fund 100% only, even if we pay 105%.
Again not sustainable.
I fear our 105% TPP expectations may bump up against the reality of business cashflow.
This needs further investigation.

In 2017 nothing deserves LESS investigation than 'are we solvent?'

The 1980s and 90s were a long time ago- the league has moved on and it is simply not possible for a club to get itself in a position where it cannot pay its players.

Nah, I REALLY want him, but I will enjoy the melts too.

That chicken is still in a rubber room.

Didn't we have an OOC list at one stage in here? I'm sure there's plenty of candidates for one of those future second round specials again this offseason?

a couple of those dogs players are tastey moneyball type options that could come pretty damn cheap

 

[Left_Billings]

there's already one there that I've mentioned nothing has changed according to his family.

Darcy Tucker for those wondering.

Marcus Adams has re-signed not too long ago I think (last week?)

 

[bennymc7]

Apparently we're into Zac Jones and could offer him more midfield minutes...

I haven't watched much of him but he seems just ok, powerful athlete not always great with disposal..

Wouldn't Dev Smith be around the same trade value?? And a significantly better player?? Or Hopper?? I wanted Hopper after his final vs Sydney last year, shades of a young J Selwood

 

[Longmembrey]

Speaking of which, why isnt he getting a game? He looked destined to be a star last year. Can butcher it a bit, so would slot straight in to Saints. Has amazing potential though.

He isn't costly just like fisher wasn't or brown or nearly every backman from every club. We spent big on Carlisle. Let's leave it at that

I agree we could go a hell of a long way with that team, but I suspect the guy you left out of that team may be a big part of the reason we may not be into Rocky, in Jack Steele.

We might think we've got the next Rockliff and as such don't need to fork out a pile of money for the original one, especially if he keeps the next one from getting into the team.

I was always going to forget someone. Weller, Sinclair, Stevens or Gilbert would come out of that side for Steele. Not many teams could compete with a midfield of Steven, Rockliff, Ross, Steele, Kelly and Acres in the contested ball.

Oh Plug...never change!!!

re-read the initial post. I thought it was quite funny...in a racist, bigoted kind of way!!

I don't share that opinion. Lever and talia from crows are first rounders. Gws backline is full of first rounders (then again all their positions are). Hurley was a high first rounder, rance was pick 18. There aren't to many good backlines that don't have at least one high end pick, more if you add in flankers.

So, the hitlist is

Kelly
Martin
May
Zak Jones

 

[VDS66]

If offers are going up, then it probably means Kelly's first instinct is to stay put. So clubs are making bids that he can't refuse...

 

[Premium]

Kelly would be crazy if he doesn't leave for the money , because if he gets a injury which can happen his worth drops , life at the top is short ' so I hope he takes one of the offers.
