Mega Thread 2019 List Management, Free Agency & Trade thread #2

[Cobbler]

All depends on what Bell has demanded. If it was 6 + OR 2 first rounders + well the Saints might be making moves to accommodate.

Picks in the teens are wasted currency for us IMO. Needed a top 10 pick.

 

[wild side]

Yeah we had the cards, and worst case we kept him. We want to keep him, as he's worth more than pick 6

 

[PurpleEyes]

It really isn't

Freo has at least 8 players going (retired/delisted/traded).
Getting 2 x 2019 1st rounders is way better than #6. It positions us in a much better position.

 

[Jake_Pizzuto]

I really don't think we are getting scammed. I think Saints don't wanna give 6 and future 1st, but COULD be persuaded to give 12 and a future first.

 

[DanWA]

Surely the best outcome is to keep Hill? He is the best wing in the comp.

Not when one of those picks will be eaten up by Henry

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Not gonna lie, I kinda wanted 6, but the approach from list managers for this year seems to be get as many picks as possible in the top 20 so maybe its not a bad thing.

Its definitely getting interesting

6 plus Henry is better than Henry plus 18.

We're an early bid on Henry away from effectively throwing away a Top 10 prospect for Pick 18. Terrible position.

 

[Silversurfer]

That's old news money for a season gone by, next year he either makes his contracted salary with us or twice+ that at St Kilda.

Money gets spent and burned quickly, especially with a partner with high cost tastes.

I have met Brads lady friend albeit briefly and expensive was the impression I got. Very pretty but high maintenance.

 

[Bastyy]

I reckon saints will do Pick 18 + Josh Bruce to the Dogs for Pick 13 and Pick 32

On trade Pick 12 and 13 to us (or at least try)

how has this guy not got booted yet?
you know for sure he's probably taking digs at freo about this on other threads

 

[wild side]

Fantasia just backflipped, staying at Bombers.
Could be Brad is same, stay one more year then test market.
He is contracted for 2 more long years

 

[Rion]

I'd probably just hold onto him now. As others have said 12/18 doesn't do us any good when we're expecting a bid on Henry and a future first in a diluted draft isn't particular appealing (depends on where you see the Saints next year though I suppose.

We'll get about the same value for him next year as this (he's still contracted). And we'll have a much better idea of the value of 2020 picks next year.

 

[Admiral Byng]

Interesting.

Does this mean we will be definitely asking for their next year's first now?

perhaps with the hope of doing a further trade to convert that back into a high first rounder for this year...? Makes it harder to get a deal done now.

 

[wayToGo_]

6 plus Henry is better than Henry plus 18.

It's not that though!!!! How many times do we have to explain this? You still have to use picks to pick up Henry with your 6 plus Henry scenario - he's not free! Those other picks would be available in the second scenario but not in the first.

They wouldnt be able to get Howard then

 

[salim malik]

Saints have screwed you guys here. Please scam a future first from them!

Think it's Brad Hill they've screwed.

 

[mike91]

12 and future 1st for Hill is on the cards here

+ #12, future 1st

- Hill, #26

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Cheers for that hot take champ. I don't think we ever considered trying to keep him

 

[FreoBraddles]

If this screws us with GWS taking Jackson..

 

[Dale147]

Saints have just screwed us.

I think pick #6 is worth more than pick #22 and pick #26

The second option moves that pick six into more later picks.

We can't field 30 players, we need elite players in our 18 spots on the field.

I think you'll find otherwise.
