List Mgmt. 2019 Trade Thread - Part V

[Mowman]

Dempster and Schneids were pretty handy.

Milne

 

[Mowman]

Gherig aside,I am struggling to think of 2 players over the last 20 years that have come from another clubs main list and made a meaningful contribution on field .
yes Hamill ,but not long enough .

Stephen Powell was a Fav of mine

 

[George]

dustin martin goes alright

Not sure we had the chance to overlook him though haha

 

[Diehard Saint]

Milne

Yes definitely, although he was off the rookie list at the Bombers.

 

[Sir Skid]

Stephen Powell was a Fav of mine

Went ok as did Brett Voss imo

 

[Diehard Saint]

Not sure we had the chance to overlook him though haha

I thought he was possibly close to coming to us at one stage when the Tigers were shopping him around but that Watters said no.

 

[Mowman]

Ah B. Voss very under rated player

 

[George]

I thought he was possibly close to coming to us at one stage when the Tigers were shopping him around but that Watters said no.

In hindsight I can see why people would take issue with that. But at the time, he was nowhere near the level of player that he is now, and he did have his share of off-field issues. I'm surprised Richmond actually stuck by him after touring GWS' facilities.

Stephen Powell was a Fav of mine

Was it him who had words to Ling after the first bounce in the '04 Wizard Cup?

 

[Mowman]

yes yes it was LOL

 

[George]

yes yes it was LOL

What a game that was. Back when the pre-season actually meant something.

I remember sitting up the back with my old man. Fireworks went off before the bounce and the roof was closed - the smoke completely took over and we couldn't see a thing for most of the first quarter

 

[Impatient Saint]

I have already paid next years memberships, but on principal if we pick up Bennell I will cancel them.

 

[Saintsydney]

sorry just been catching up on this thread...

I've read a lot about the mistake of taking Paddy at number 1 in the 2014 draft so decided to refresh my memory....

2014 AFL draft and this is where the top 10 sits now

1. Saints. Patrick McCartin (head case issues - concussion)

2 Demons. Christian Petracca (head case issues - FIGJAM without the G bit to get him the respect of the comp)

3 Demons. Angus Brayshaw (head case issues - concussion)

4. Giants. Jarrod Pickett (injury prone - now gone from Carlton.)

5. Magpies. Jordan De Goey (head case - at that time I believe that is the agreed consensus though gun now)

6. Giants. Caleb Marchbank (key defender - not likely to get the membership excited and not yet established as a star of the comp)

7. Giants. Paul Ahern (done well to battle his way after 2 reco's and looks a pretty reasonable afl player)

8. Suns. Peter Wright (I took this from the afl season review of the sun's...
Disappointment

Peter Wright: After Lynch departed it was hoped Wright could grab the mantle as the Suns' go-to man, but 'Two Metre Peter' just couldn't find the consistency and was banished to the NEAFL late in the season.)


9 Magpies. Darcy Moore ( not available as Father son pick)

10 Cats. Nakia Cockatoo. delisted. no comment

That was the "reasonable" choices for the number 1 draft pick. Bag the previous recruiting team for their fails but people should probably leave taking Paddy at number 1 off their list of gripes

When was Cockatoo delisted ?

 

[Saintbloke]

I have already paid next years memberships, but on principal if we pick up Bennell I will cancel them.

You presume all our players are little angels?

 

[Mowman]

I have already paid next years memberships, but on principal if we pick up Bennell I will cancel them.

I don't want him, but our club has got a heap right the last 6 months will back them in if they go that way

 

[DGontheQT]

Who were the dickheads that we overlooked that would've given us a better chance in the last 5-6 years?

The Collingwood cheer squad. Umpires go weak before them.

 

[pebblesofsand]

We might find another player in Saints colours from tomorrow.

Fair chance given that delisted free agency starts tomorrow.

 

[Jade Buddha]

Was it him who had words to Ling after the first bounce in the '04 Wizard Cup?

C you next Tuesday was the vernacular I believe

 

[Jade Buddha]

Red headed C you next Tuesday to be precise

160+: Dempster (AA)
150+: Gram
140+: Gehrig (AA)
130+: Voss, Ray, Schneider

100+: Savage*
90+: Bruce, Hamill, Membrey*, Roberton* (AA40)

Judging from this list there's probably 10 or so. Dempster and Gehrig clearly the best, followed by a few others.

**** there's a lot in the bottom few rows there though!

 

[ScrappyDo]

Yeah look, I don't want Bennell at all.

We will be going backwards the day we decide to put talent over character.

George, Trout has hacked your account!!!

 

[Fehring]

Well that's happens to Bruce, reiwoldt etc

Nah, not like Kitschke. As bad as Roo's was, Kitschke's was in another universe. There was just no way that he could possibly get tackled and yet somehow he did. I really wish it was on Youtube. It was beautiful in its own, horrific way.

 

[Fehring]

Ooh. Such a fun game. Where there's more than one player in any ten game bracket, I've highlighted the one I think was the best (except I couldn't split two of the 60 gamers).

fu** there's a lot in the bottom few rows there though!

 

[GTrains Mullet]

Interesting decision around Harley. Reality is based on our picks there won’t be much talent. If he’s available I say we take the risk. Quite happy to delist immediately if he crosses the line.

Also think we should look as some other mature aged/DFAs. Would rather depth for two years over a kid that will never make it.

Nice post .
So all this talk of a delisted free agent Tomorrow and even the 5 recently bought in,is what does history say of players we have recruited in the past .As you posted, the chances of any of them jumping up and being a major player in our quest for a flag is at the Bottom end of possible.
The real stars are drafted young.
