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.

Pick 13 and 21 for norths three first rounders ?

 

[Ekomaira]

spewin about Billings honestly

 

[CaptainRisky]

 

[Cam Shenton]

lets see if Billings can prove anyone wrong after getting to Melbourne, Paddy Mcartin getting to Sydney and almost getting AA in defence after 4-5 years out of the system shut a lot of people up who said he was one of the worst number 1 picks ever. Personally i hope Billings becomes better than the Bontempelli now wouldn't that be funny

Would be a surprise, not sure it would be funny.

 

[gringo2011]

I won’t be burning my membership, but wouldn’t you think it was a bit bizarre if we were trading him away for very little and paying a fair chunk of his salary?

That’s the kind of move you make when you cap is rooted.

I reckon it might not have been as good as they were making out. A lot of GOPs paid like stars. They seem to be cutting hard to open space back up.

absolutely will not get done. We are not interested

 

[gringo2011]

Probably a swap of future 3rds

So if we finish above them they get paid a higher pick to take him as well? So good. Oliver had better get his shit together quickly.

 

[bird_man]

Whilst simultaneously wanting Dylan Shiel?

Yes. Still makes little sense.

Surely our cap isn’t that stretched that we are going to pay a player to play for another club while getting nothing for him.

If that is the case I hope Essendon will be paying a fair chunk of Shiels wage also.

 

[snails13]

llWell now that we are paying Billings salary in exchange for a junk pick, i guess we can cough up a first rounder for the privilege of taking on pegleg Shiel's full salary.

Shiel not happening

 

[puppy_dog7]

Hunter Clark is the last remaining right? Maybe Brad Hill

McKenzie, Battle, Paton

 

[bird_man]

Pick 13 and 21 for norths three first rounders ?

I like that.

Think North will want to go a bit higher than our pick though unfortunately

 

[gringo2011]

Pick 13 and 21 for norths three first rounders ?

Pelican would approve.

 

[puppy_dog7]

Cmon baby!!

Absolutely not happening is what I’m hearing.

Tom Morris no idea

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

Sure Billings might work hard, but it’s a myth he is a highly skilled or x-factor player (his bio at draft year), doesn’t take the game on, doesn’t hit targets unless under no pressure. People have been conditioned to think he is a highly skilled and has some x-factor, apart from that 1 game against the dogs yonks again, have not seen it since.

Got absolutely ruined by our half arsed development set up.

Despite being Cho'd, he was very good in 2019 & the 1st half of 2020 (before he fkd his foot). Didn't get a clear run of fitness after that.

 

[puppy_dog7]

With Gresham, Billings and Peris now out. Who is our backup small forward depth?
Or will guys like Byrnes play a bit of that High half forward role?

All I’m going to say.

If we are desperate for Shiel.

It will happen.

You shacking up in Barwon prison?

 

[George]

We have a pretty thin squad now

 

[Veer Right]

You're an absolute trip

Your desire to feel important this time of year is a sight to behold
`

In fairness he's not alone.

There's a tv series, Black Mirror, one of the episodes deals with the subject of fishing for online likes yet this episode takes it to a whole new warped version where ones quality of life depends on it! Cool show for anyone who has not seen it.

It's a good question. Hotton is the only one that really comes to mind. Though if we grab a midfielder with our first they might spend some time there too.

 

[ZionMig22]

G'day Saints

Not here to stir but wanting to know your honest opinion on Billings? What has he got going for him and what has he got issues with?

Frm a Dess fan

Maybe the Irishman based on the one video I have seen of him

Henry IMO. Running high HF swapping with Hill on a wing maybe to preserve Hill longer. Maybe grab a guy like Mannagh, Sanchez or Collard as well.

I think someone said we were looking at Ashton Moir too. He was talked about as being a potential top 5 pick last year. He's a bit more of a Snags small forward than the other 2 draftees who are true small forwards.

 

[MightySaint]

Here's my view on Jack. I'm happy to free up a list spot to have a shot at another Sharman, Heath, Caminiti, Hayes. The salary and output don't justify the opportunity cost of keeping him on the list.
