List Mgmt. 2018 St Kilda Trade Thread Part 4

[ESDR]

Lethers is working on something big....

Is that knowledge or a guess?

 

[George]

I think out of contracted players need to be told of their futures by 5pm today.

Looks like Pierce Longer and Lonie will all re-sign.

Trade paperwork officially lodged.


St Kilda trade Rd 2 (28) (on traded from Sydney Swans) to Melbourne for Rd 2 (36) and Rd 2 (46).

Typo in that tweet. Pick 46 is a thrid round. Pick 40 is the first pick of round 3.

 

[Sadsainter]

We are killing them softly

Maybe, maybe not. Maybe he’s got his finger up his bumb and has the cue in the rack?

 

[Sadsainter]

looking forward to next trade period with our pick two and priority pick . Let Steven leave if he’s fa and pick up picks 234 nice

 

[plugger66]

I’m sure it’s be mentioned by many but it pretty obvious why we downgraded 1 pick for 2. If we do swap 4 the other club will want our next pick which leaves us with basically 2 picks if we got 2 picks for 4 and 28. Now we give them 4 and 34 but still have a pick in the 40’s. Very smart move

 

[George]

After splitting 28 for 36 & 46 it's obvious now that we'll select four kids in the national draft and use our last to upgrade Lew.

What about Marshall?

Has he given you that impression at all since he showed up?

 

[DarkSaint]

Fair enough, but we also have Robbo coming back and guys like Coffield, Clark (Not quite ready for the midfield), Paton, Rice and White who will all be looking to play a similar role.

Clark shouldn't be used as a half back flanker at all. He should be part of the midfield rotations or play wing/half forward. I personally rate White over McKenzie and Savage but he can't get a game. Coffield is a half back but hopefully he can progress into the midfield with time. Rice is a replacement for geary...

My ideal backline would be:
FB Geary Austin White
HB Roberton Carlisle Webster

Coffield/Mckenzie/Savage/Rice/Brown should be the only players played in the backline.

Clark/Newnes etc if they cant make it further up the ground should be picked pretty simple really. Last season was a joke with some many players played out of position it wasnt funny.

Wings include Sinclair/Newnes/Phillips/Langlands and Acres maybe??

Half forwards include
Billings/Gresham/Kent/Acres

Small forwards include
Long/Lonie

Everyone else is key position and mids from the top of my head...

Play the players were they are best suited and not just to fit him like last year. If he isn't good enough then drop him. Hated seeing Geary butcher the ball 30 times when played in the middle. If he can't make it as a BP then he should be at sandy.

 

[George]

What about Marshall?

I think Lew is the better ruck and we will need some backup if Longer goes down.

Living up to your username well

 

[L_W_P]

So with this trade would people be more open to dropping back?

4 + 46
for
8 + 13/16

??

 

[Sadsainter]

This off season has seen the most quality players moving around and we’ve got a warchest apparently . Can only muster a cooked Hannebery while all these other clubs are building on their sides from last year which were already ahead of us . We are ****ing stuffed again next year just you watch .
Why wouldn’t I be pissed off

 

[Savatage]

What about Marshall?

Exactly - he should be on the primary list 100%.

 

[Keg on legs]

On the face of it that pick swap seems stupid to me, but I'll reserve judgment until 8.30

 

[TheJackal]

Thats a baffling trade, 28 was quite the handy spot to be in.

I got stuck in the thought process that we must have something else up our sleeve last year, Im just going to sit back and shake my head this year. Wish me luck in my quest not to melt this year everyone...

I like this. Take Smith, Rozee, Ben King or whomever slips to 8. If King, will help us entice Max in a couple of years.

Maybe we've split it so we can still trade one AND we still keep a mid-draft pick

 

[maanco]

GREAT thing about that trade is that our picks will vastly improve after academy/FS bids.

IF we bid on Nick Blakey at pick 4, and ignoring all other bids.

Pick 36 becomes 34
Pick 46 becomes 41.

Picks will also improve with other bid I haven't accounted for.

Prime Picks that will increase in value due to Academy selections
