List Mgmt. 2017 Trade & Free Agency Discussion thread II

[The Nostradamus]

And some of you clowns rate Cams Joyces. Is it now dawning on some of you that as long as this guy is in Charge of Football we are going nowhere in a hurry? :stern look

Sack cam Joyce!

 

[Roostein]

Flog Barrett will be licking his sliding door lips on North's trade period.

IF North can't ATTRACT any players in and won't let all the players that want to LEAVE go
Then WE (we because I control your thoughts and you can't think for yourself) feel sorry for Swallow and Thomas who would have reignited their careers elsewhere but are now nothing more than practice mats at training.
Ooh, I feel like Colonel Hans Landa writing these.

As Tas posted earlier, our core is there.

1st Rounders- Simpkin(19),McKay(19),Ahern(21),Durdin(21),McDonald(22),Garner(23), Pick 4
2nd Rounders - Clarke(20),Hibberd(21),Nielson(21),EVW(21),Dumont(22),Wood(24), Pick 23

Add in Mountford, Williams, Zurhaar, Junker, Larkey and whoever else we pick up this year. Well unless you think all those players are shit and worthless then yes we will be shit for 5-10 years.

I am bullish on all of those blokes, possibly with the exception of Larkey and Junker who haven't really shown too much for obvious reasons. However I'm also aware every other club has talented kids, and are trying hard to get better, and I'm genuinely worried if we aren't proactive we could end up falling short again.

“What happened to north? We got Gibson who is one of their best midfielders and I’ve heard Cunnington is on over 800k?”

/cues the entire lot of them laughing their ass off at norf

 

[Horizons_00]

when did he ever get 3 possessions? goldy is the only one i can recall that never got dropped after 3 possessions.

I was over exaggerating mate

Call and remind them of the grand final performance.

 

[The Y Factor]

I have no faith in the club to ensure we finish bottom 2 next year.

Scott will play Waite, Thompson, Goldie, Swallow and co instead of the kids and we win enough games to have the privilege to use our 1st on Thomas instead of using our 2nd on him.

If Waite, Thompson, Goldie, Swallow and Lindsay are best 22 and the younger players aren't earning a spot through form then I'm fine with that.

It makes me ill to think we become a team gifting games and trying to finish bottom and happy to lose while at the same time disrespecting our values and champions of the NMFC like a Swallow.

This year , these 5 guys were forced out through form or injury and the list busted a gut to win every game and live our values - I can watch that

The kids need to and will earn their place and we will value the players on our list who put their bodies on the line weekly.

The off season is for playing games - the season proper is for WINNING games

If the above mentioned players had found new homes then great - they didn't , so now they are NMFC players and I hope they all have career years and lead us to victory in more wins than loses and teach the younger guys that to pull on a Guernsey for the NMFC means you made it , not that we need to put games into someone 17 years old and prey that can play football

Go Roos and good luck to every listed NMFC player for 2018

Lol, so now he is suddenly our best midfielder and a superstar once they leave the club. *sigh* Reminds me of when Bruce had an orgasm about Wells this year.

 

[tiltraise]

If we threw up Jed Anderson

Must admit I retched a little at the mere mention of him.

They are so arrogant no matter what happens they can do NO wrong

 

[Hearts to hearts]

So if you are GC you would prefer to take Weller as opposed to Weller and Swallow for minimal wage?

Weller was contracted so they might have missed out altogether. Getting him was much more important to them than getting Swallow, so if Freo would move for pick 2 that's the deal they focused on.

Adelaide have to try and find humour in something after being blatantly robbed by carlton.

Let’s see If they are still laughing once he starts playing for them.

 

[Horizons_00]

Jars is a useless flog that spews out one eyed garbage. He hates every club but crows

Then when crows lose he is the first one to bag them

Blows my mind how these lazy w***ers get a job in media







Barrett I am looking at you you ****

 

[naturally north]

Zondor...


Howdy just between you and me I saw a post of yours earlier regarding Joyce and in my opinion your call is 100% correct. will be interesting seeing what develops.

 

[andana]

I learnt two things from this thread. Only draft players from your home state or tasmanistan and ***** can mean ***** or ******.

 

[Shagga is all Class]

NORTH MELBOURNE

Who Left: Sam Gibson (Adelaide Crows)

Who Arrived: N/A

Draft Picks: 4, 23, 64, 78, 91, 96

Champion Data says: “If North Melbourne had been able to offer say Todd Goldstein to GWS and say ‘we will still pay 90 per cent of his salary’, GWS may have been willing to pay as high as Pick 11 just because they get a player for the next two or three years. It’s a real surprise that they weren’t able to leverage their excess cap space that they weren’t able to spend on Dustin Martin or Josh Kelly and use it in the trade period.”

Chris Pelchen says: “This is not sitting in judgment of any person at North Melbourne, but what I will say is that as a club I’m disappointed. If you are going to rebuild, you have to get more than one pick in every round of the draft. That’s what you get every year as a given anyway. For them to be so dormant in the trade period, they needed to actually be trading players out to get returns for. I’d hardly say Pick 91 indicates an aggressive rebuild. I think they let themselves down in a very critical period.”

Grade: D

Need to call this Pelchen bloke out.

To be fair, I remember his strategy at the Aints was "need 3 picks in the top 20 every year" in the media.

In one draft he got 3 in the top 20 by trading McEvoy and letting Dal Santo go who was actually restricted and got ~ pick 24 compo (well overs).

So whoopee, he started with pick 3 and 21ish behaved like a pimp and lost 2 good players and picks and got:

Billings
Dunstan
Acres
Savage (who was a 2s player at the time) as part of losing McEvoy.
Bruce for pick 48 which you have to pay credit as a a good deal.

Genius.

 

[utility]

Not concerned with the absence of list cloggers joining the club. Just concerned we haven't cleaned out our existing ones.

 

[The chorus]

I have no faith in the club to ensure we finish bottom 2 next year.

Scott will play Waite, Thompson, Goldie, Swallow and co instead of the kids and we win enough games to have the privilege to use our 1st on Thomas instead of using our 2nd on him.

I hope we are not going to spend a whole season tanking; that is Melbourne style thinking and look where it got them. I won't be bothered going to games if I think we are not trying to win

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

You better get some medication then because our whole drafting strategy is predicated on finishing bottom 3 next year - and that will be in the context of a soft draw for us.

So there will be plenty of games against poor sides that we will 'need' to lose.

Of course if we play well and finish 10th that is even worse as we will have no access to the elite draft picks and be forced to pay overs for our academy picks.

So we are stuck in no mans land at the moment and the FD believes inactivity is the best way out of it.

So we are stuck in no mans land at the moment - and with a FD with no plan to get us out of it.

Would you like our football department to publish their plan on the website so we can read it, along with the other 17 clubs who would love to know what our plan is?

What r u talking about - that is exactly what they did - they told us on our website last week they would do nothing and thats what they did - nothing. The publicly declared it and followed it through to perfection.

And please tell - what do you think their secret plan is - it would be great to know as a member that there was some plan to get us out of this hole other than we are holding the cards we have been dealt and we hope things will fall our way.

 

[40porpoise]

Hey guys, just curious about your thoughts on Sam Gibson?

I honestly know nothing about him other than he has the longest game streak, and finished 4 and 6th in the last 2 b&f’s.

Could you see him being in the crows 22 next year?

Many on here are big fans.
Runs all day and gets the ball

Don't worry about what he does with it because the above gets him a game each week regardless
