List Mgmt. 2023 Trade Thread - Part IV

[EddieMurphy]

ohhhh mid season trading - Shiel can be got in June

He's falling apart, by mid season next year he will be sharing a room with DMac at Healing Hans sanitorium in Germany.

These guys are incredible at maths

 

[SaintJunior]

Regardless of what Billing’s wants , I see no point in trading him unless we get a second round pick or something we can use to move up the draft order or to help facilitate another trade .

 

[BrutThough]

Highmore apparently seen at GWS headquarters last night .

Wouldn't read much into that.
His best mate is the GWS social media guy and seems like they are just taking the piss out of trade radio.

What can we realistically get for Billings is my question? I see Melbourne has pick 42, does that get it done and is it worth it?

 

[Hayes4PM]

I sort of get what Melbourne are thinking, is Lachie Hunter any better than Billings on a wing

 

[CaptainRisky]

Some clown on the saints fans FB page saying deal is done for Billings

 

[Joffaboy]

Really don't understand the firesale if we get a crappy pick.

Suppose we will have to wait to see the pick AND what we are paying him.

42 on traded to Port for Wines

 

[gringo2011]

Less then 10% chance of Shiel trade


Twomey

I'd prefer 0%.

 

[Joffaboy]

Well into Part IV territory but still Part III.

 

[StCicatriz]

I just want billings out of the club. Over him massively.

Yep, agree. And definitely not taking a 40s pick without confirmation we can move upwards with 40. Just helping out Melbourne.

I wonder if we are perhaps looking to bundle picks #40 & #42 for something better and to help other clubs get their deals done? Also remember we got got Olli Hotton at #35 and Isaac Keeler at #44 last year. People were saying last year would be a shallow draft also and I think we did really well!

I doubt anyone would use 42. Unless it can be bundled to move up it's just a token pick that won't be used.

 

[Yawkey way]

Wow , Jack has the skill to kick the ball inside 50 , Well feck me , that's ground breaking news

A much sought after skill.

 

[StCicatriz]

Does Melbourne have future picks?

Hunter turns a lot of kicks over. Billings not as got at getting the ball but better at using it.

Better be. I’ll be disappointed if we only walk out of here having lost Gresh and Billings and Coff with 13, 21 and some long range picks. Need a third decent pick in the 20s and I’ll shut up

I’m sorry about reality barrels.

Can you play big footy with those oculus goggles?

That’s your take on a player who has always honoured his part of the contract. Clearly we want to move him on, his only crime was getting injured and playing through injury. So he’s made it clear he’d like a new start so what, he also has a contract which I’m sure he’s happy to honour. Don’t dump on the guys leaving the club and don’t make out the club shows them any loyalty, it’s a business on both sides these days.

As to overrated well we all get it wrong but boy what an interesting read it would be to look back at the posters who bagged Sinclair who was never going to be anything other than D grade and were pumping up longs tyres. That’s one of many examples, is there some reason we can’t just wish departing players who haven’t screwed us over good luck?.

It will be like Acres, even when Billings is playing high quality football for Melbourne, people will be still bitching about why he didn’t produce it in his last two years with us.

Will be interesting to see how Henry & Dow develop vs how Coffield, Gresham & Billings go.

Even picks past about 21 are pretty hit and miss this year. Probably more like picks in the 30s of some other drafts.

Agree. Would be an odd move to dish him off for nothing when we have plenty of cap space.

 

[gringo2011]

WTF are we doing paying his wage to get a shit pick back? That looks very Gallagher.
