List Mgmt. 2018 St Kilda Trade Thread Part 2

[Keg on legs]

Saints recruiting team chasing hanners and menzel...




Just kidding. Id be happy with both on the cheap trade wise

 

[VDS66]

Ok.... but why? What does he bring to the club that would justify his roi?

About 30 extra goals per season...

 

[VDS66]

What's wrong with Menzel as a free agent? $180k pa plus incentives is a pittance in AFL terms to improve our bottom six.

Gaff, Lycett and Menzel would only cost cash. Hanners looks to be a salary dump and Stuv would be twice the player he is today with a fit Hanners helping him in the middle. Polec is a good value bet for exactly what our list needs.

Personally I'm happy that we are actively trying to spend our warchest as opposed to overpaying the blokes who are currently taking the piss at the club.

I suggested him earlier this year.

People laughed...

On one hand, I like the initiative to bring in a capable forward to release Billings and Gresham up the field. He is a known scorer and would add something we are missing up forward.

On the other hand, you dont offer a "multi-year" deal to someone with his fragile body. A two year deal, with A LOT of trigger clauses would be fine.

Can mark, can kick straight. Pass.

Have you seen Ross' last fortnight?

If we are trading him I'm looking at pick 2 or 3 or GTFO.

Menzel is a gun. Always loved him as a player. Would be a great get.

 

[BrutThough]

Can mark, can kick straight. Pass.

With those skills, he definitely wouldn't fit in

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

Can mark, can kick straight. Pass.

We can train that out of him it's all good

this club is ******. so unbelievably desperate:

I think we already knew that.

 

[VDS66]

We need someone to talk about now that Freezer is fit lol.

Does this mean we’re moving away from a forward pressure game plan? Him and paddy chatting in the goal square as defenders waltz through our structures - I can picture the melts now

 

[JG22]

Menzel would improve us

The unique situation would mean Geelong probably wouldn't match it

Funnily enough, he's averaging more goals a game than any of our forwards.

As I said in the draft board, he wouldn't be a bad pick up for nothing, but it would mean that one of Bruce or Paddy would likely be playing VFL you would think.

Long - Membrey - Gresham
Rankine - Bruce - Menzel

I wouldn't be devestated if we missed him, but really what's the harm in getting him I suppose?

Yeah, I agree, he's not really a pressure forward but we have lots of pressure and no scoring power ATM.

Averaging more goals a game that anyone currently in our side, tall or small

Trade Bruce for a decent pick. Replace with Menzel.

Another experienced senior player from an elite system.

Notice a pattern?

 

[StCicatriz]

??????

mcgovern paid the same amount as his previous contract at wce

the only difference is the 3rd party payments. he's now effectively sponsored from a construction company that only builds HJ stores

Richo going to turn him into a Half back flanker

 

[hayes]

I’d be happy with Menzel, can’t just keep bringing in 18 year olds.

 

[George]

Love the Menzel news. Is a goal kicker and dangerous forward. Knows where they are. Something we need. Get him for cheap and we're laughing. We are that full of cash that we can afford to do deals like this and if it doesn't work out we don't suffer much from it.

Get him in!

 

[VDS66]

Dan2Dan action...

Are you sure he can’t ruck?

 

[Pardon me]

Thanks lads, I legitimately did not know much about him other than his punchable face and his broken body.
If it releases Billings/Gresh to a more damaging role and the price is right with clauses - then go for it....

Still has a punchable face tho

 

[VDS66]

Need these types to be competitive at the very least so our kids can develop better.

It's not about making us instant contenders.
