List Mgmt. 2017 Trade & Free Agency Discussion Thread

Yea rightio. Have a good trade period.

A great trade period for me ends with us hitting the draft with our picks intact or even adding another one or two. Geelong still feel they have they have a window of opportunity. So hell would need to freeze over for us to give up pick 4 when rebuilding. Why and I'm serious would you think we'd do that bloody deal?

 

[koshari]

Skinner? What did I miss?

just posters last week saying we should have gone after him, nothing official thankfully.

Thanks for the responses Guys. I knew it

No?

Does Lang have any pets?

If you guys were seriously considering a Father/Son prospect it would be a way to boost the number of points you had. No other valid reason to the question no?

SKINNEEEEEEEEEER!

 

[Moti]

DO NOT NEED ANYMORE HALF FORWARDS.

Lang isn't a midfielder.

He also ins't contracted, If we were to trade for him I wouldn't be giving anything inside the top 50.

Is an inside mid, just hard to break into Cats midfield.

Sam Skinner? Sorry mate I'm not trying to be painful, just never saw this and I rate the guy.

You're a year too early I reckon. We've got a handful to go for next year although the argument is if we had 4 in 2018 we'd still be going to the draft. It's not meant to be.

Thanks for your input though John, normally when opposition supporters sneak in here with a "sorry for intruding" or the like they tend to make us very sorry they intruded. You're a breath of fresh air

Reminded me of Cam Thurley

I don't think we have any this year. You might be thinking of Tarryn Thomas who is in our Tassie zone for next year. Also next year (or year after?) Blakey's son is eligible.

Unless I'm wrong, I don't think we have FS on the way.

Also would think 44 is max for Lang, but I'd love him at our club. We could use some speed and I could see him playing 100. (Though I think best case scenario)

The issue is mckay and durdin have both shown more down back. That leaves us with larkey, brown, and wood. So 1 raw talent, a star, and a player that can't stay fit. Sure we could swing durdin forward but it doesn't appear to suit him or us as much. Although, he did play well against brisbane. In saying that even i would have kicked 4 sausage rolls that day.

what about that young whipper snapper that kicked a lazy 5 goals in half a game in the forward line, i think his name was something like Jack. his last name was pretty similar to our skippers surname. do you reckon he could make a good forward??

We don't have any this year but we have a NGA and 3 F/s in 2018.

 

[Rooboy 96]

Are you aware that Mayne still has 3 years on a contract?

bugger, I thought it was two years, how badly does Mayne want out?

Intersting. I also think that Lang will go for pick 44.

 

[Rooboy 96]

Why can't we have both?

we could but not by giving away next years picks as you suggested.

Well it's not often I go to a board and receive 30 responses. I can't know if I don't ask, and I trust an opposition supporter's opinion above Mark Robbinson's daily ramble newspaper articles.

Good Luck

I think it's safe to assume that he wants $1.35 million a lot more than he wants out.

 

[koshari]

I'm just waiting to be linked with balic and lennon. Bartel said balic would be good at North. Got excited. Nothing since.

this is the food thread now, are you sure that wasnt "Galic and Lemmon" ?

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Fair enough. So you'll be going the draft route this off season you'd think?

Same as every off season, yes. It's been many years since North has done anything with picks in the first 2-3 rounds except draft with them - bit of play with late pick potential-value trades, and signing free agents.

It's just a nice change to have a pick anywhere near the top so it would need to be something very special for North to consider a switch from drafting with it to trading it. Kelly-type special.

sounds like a supagav deal.

North list assessment coming up on AFL tonight... should be interesting

......... a what?





I'm sorry.

 

[Moti]

I think Geelong have said they won’t offer a contract for Lang so a late pick swap should suffice

Could be that in order to take Swallow GC need a chunk of his contract paid. We recognise that he wants to play his final season with his brother, do everything we can to facilitate a trade as a thanks for his incredible service, and retain some salary towards minimum cap payments in 2018.

I happy to have the club facilitate Andrew's wish, but if we are paying part of his salary I want a bit more than an uncontracted player in return, GC have plenty of 2nd round picks, one could argue they have too many.

And entirely skippable.
