List Mgmt. 2017 Trade & Free Agency Watch Part 2

[Ace Cannon]

Apparently Stringer wants to get to Geelong and Damien Barrett seems to think Geelong will find a way to get both he and Ablett.
Is the AFL going to bend the trading out future picks rule to suit the Cats again?

That bloody flog said a month ago the cats were going to get smith hopper and Ablett .... his a parasite .

Won't be giving up 2 first rounders for schache. Just won't happen. Still keen to get him though.

Our two firsts are worth a top 10 pick. Schache was pick 2. Unfortunately I can't see him going for any less, best we could hope for is a pick back.

 

[ryza87]

We should seriously be looking at Saad, great replacement for Houli. From memory Tiger71 mentioned we are wary of Houlis age.

And target one of Lynch, Wright or Schache.

 

[Richo83]

The two first rounders will probably be worth somewhere around pick 4-6.

 

[MR]

Saad would be a good get.

Our draft team really rated him.

Watts was what pick? Schache is worth whatever we get him for IF we want to pay.

 

[Wacky Tiger]

Our draft team really rated him.

Was he not playing under our noses at Coburg and we missed out on him? or am i thinking of someone else?

 

[tigerz18]

This years 1st, next years first and 3rd for T. Lynch and this years 3rd round pick from GC.

Houli's replacement will be short/conca/markov. They are developing nicely

I thought that also.

Can't have rated him too highly you would think.

 

[copthat]

Gut says no regarding Stringer. He's had an All Australian season a couple of years ago, followed by two average years yes. But he's shown he's devastating at his best. They've pumped 90 games into him, he's just about to come into his prime... and they're booting him out the door. Alarm bells for me.

 

[tigerz18]

Massive alarms regarding Stringer. do not want him, this game styles is based around aggressive hunting of the ball and the man inside forward 50. what our smalls do now, is something i dont think Stringer will do - he desnt look like the kind of player that will work defensvely for a whole game.
he would do well at another club, but would not benefit our structure.

 

[rfc4eva]

I'm sure it was earlier but then it got changed. It was a massive talking point in the last trade period with the way Geelong held its dealings.

Is it geelongs mission not to have another 1st rounder ever?

Not Conca. His decision making and kicking are not at the required standard. He was playing well before he got injured, but he's still limited. Given how settled our back-line is, I'm not sure he's going to get an opportunity in 2018 to prove himself. He's fighting it out with Nathan Broad for one spot.

Short is a very neat player, but he needs to add something extra to his game. Houli has an AFL body. He's an inch or two taller than Short and 5+ kg heavier. Houli at his best has a significant impact on games (usually positive!). I'm not sure that Short can do that. He looks like a guy who plays to his limitations.

Markov is still learning the game. Doesn't look like a defender to me. Has some assets, but I think he's competing with KMac in the near term and is only a longer term option for a position in the back-line. Needs to hit the weights.

I'd like to see us recruit an A-grade half-back flanker, play him on the wing in 2018 (KMac's spot) and then slot back into half-back when Houli retires. Just need the money and the draft picks to make it happen ;-)

Cheers.

I see on the main board in Restricted free agency a Geelong fan thinks he has pretty good mail we will get Motlop

https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/steven-motlop.1174996/page-7#post-52452349

Not sure what to think about that

If we take this heartless flog i'll quit this Football Club.

 

[Metapod]

Thompson in, Astbury forward maybe?

Would be worth trialing pre-season, but Astbury has been one of the premier defenders in the comp this year, wouldn't be forcing him out of the backline anytime soon. With that said, even if he remains back, competition for spots in our best 22 isnt a bad thing.

 

[Grockadoc]

Motlop will be at North. We passed over Motlop last year. Why would we want him this year?

Astbury was drafted as a forward and did kick 3 goals on debut. But yeah, whilst I would love Thompson, he isn't a pressing need.

 

[docko911]

Watts was what pick? Schache is worth whatever we get him for IF we want to pay.

Schache has played 2 seasons, his first was promising, and his second was influenced by the fact he doesn't want to be at Brisbane. Look at what WB paid for Tom Boyd when he had done nothing, Schache won't be cheap.

 

[Metapod]

100% yes to Saad. Huge fan. Quick, breaks lines, great 1v1 defender... If Neville Jetta can make the 40-man AA squad, a healthy, RFC Saad will make the AA team

 

[Hoos]

Motlop will be at North. We passed over Motlop last year. Why would we want him this year?

Why would anyone?

Except North.

While I agree about Saad, using Jetta as a baseline is counter productive even though it is a negative connotation

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Rumours GC have put Leslie, Thompson, Lonergan, McKenzie, Nicholls etc on the yrade table. Would love Thompson.

Thompson.Yes plz.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Carlton will be interested, probably offer up their first for the lot or something like that.

Carltoon only go after GwSilvani,s
