Think our trade period is just about done with ANB being done.

Nah. I'm expecting a little more rumour still, bit of chatter, innuendo and maybe some hearsay later in the week. Wouldn't be surprised if there's a tiny spot of action either.

Sounds like we are into one of Freo's picks they get from Tigers. Seems like we really rate this draft. I like it, but it is risky being that we are likely to finish anywhere next year.

Which

 

[MarcMaverick]

So No Derkson, Owies, Lord.

Should package up pics 40, 48, 53 send to lions for pick 20 they need points. Gives us 5, 20, 28.

It’s a pick we’d love to get. But I’ve heard tigers are into the pick. Bundled with a handshake they won’t bid on Ashcroft.

 

[SugarHealey]

Strained knee very early in the second or late in the first wasn’t it?

So basically on target for 35 possessions!

I’m not rating him as high as some of us, but he can find the ball and has super hands.

We need some of his (Reids) traits, BUT, we need speed on the hoof more-so.

 

[SugarHealey]

Pick 8 for Oliver and pick 25 would probably do it.

Are you Lamb... P8, and 25.?

P8 oughta do it... as in full flight, he'd be 3 x 1st Rnd picks.
If the Saints are tempted, along with the Crows and Cats, then they need to 'cough up'. Pardon the Pun...

 

[SugarHealey]

**** our midfield will be derelict next season with Oliver gone.

Our list management, and this clubs board will be derelict, if he's still on the books come this time next year.

 

[mickent1]

It isn’t the discreet deals people are shitty with it is the bigger picture, our lack of gonads to turn the list over and swap over certain skill sets. No one would have minded bringing in Houston if it was using any compo we got for Oliver (and maybe a bit more thrown in) to give us a different look but our club has no balls to think laterally.

Same goes for Perryman, if we had a spare 1.3m a year from losing Oliver, who the **** cares if we give 900k to Perryman, the point of cap is to improve your list and he would be better than a good half dozen of our best 22.

Instead we are opting to sit on our hands and go around in 2025 with a very similar list that we did in 2024 and hope for a different outcome.

6 years is a long time, the list changes every year and if you overpay some average players you can’t pay other stars. And I bet if we did that the same people who complain about not doing anything would complain about us doing that (not naming names)

 

[SugarHealey]

I think Derksen will be a Demon next year and you won't be thrilled with what we give up for him.

Maybe they are waiting on the Oli decisions, to see what they can screw us over with.
Just basting the end of season Lamb on the Spit, after giving it the full Greek treatment.

 

[Demon 16]

When asked if Dees were an attractive club

Lamb: Attactive? That’s hard to answer

What a deadset flog, how about emphasising our club history, our premiership list, getting to play at the MCG, playing with best ruckman of all time.

No wonder this bloke can’t bring anyone to the club.

Yep, not his finest moment that one.

Didn’t even end up answering the question at all.

 

[SugarHealey]

Sounded pretty adamant tonight at the b&f that Oliver isn't going anywhere, but yeah, who knows wtf is gonna happen with this club atm. Seems to be rudderless. Very important period for Tim Lamb coming up. Even the Pies with no draft hand is making s* happen.

This is what happens when the Bosses are at play and singing in tune.

rub a dub dub, three members in a tub.

The fish rots from the head, and only one head has gone yet. .

 

[SugarHealey]

If you can't melt this time of year when can you melt? Every post should be a fn melt atm with how bad we're travelling. Zero faith in Tim Lamb to do anything good again this offseason. He couldn't do anything good when we were a premiership chance, now we're a rabble he'll be even more useless.

CD I don't think its Lamb who has been stearing, this past 2 years.

Lamb is just following Perts orders imv. And the boards.

Sack them all mate. Its actually laughable that since the flag we have literally brought in nothing at all decent in trades. Like not 1 winner. If Pert or Goody are doing the trading, then why even have Lamb? If it's Lamb unable to do his job, then I'll happily go down and throw the campaigner out on his a$$ myself. He looks pretty small.

You can't bank the cap with the floor the way it is.

Sure you can, bring forward money from any of the longer term contracts or extend them. Free up the space for the next season or the one after. Or over multiple years.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Let's be honest, the only reason they love this draft is coz no one wants to come here and draft picks get no say in the matter. They have to go to the club who picks them.

Not that I've got a problem with this outcome, it's what I would want us to do. I'm more so highlighting the fact that they were happy to trade out of this draft for Houston a couple of months ago.

Saying they love this draft now is nothing but spin and coping.

How many times and for how long can you keep doing that because apparently it’s been what we have been doing since Jackson left as we haven’t been spending it anywhere else.

Starting to sound like the blokes who talk about loading every season.

Reminds me of the classic “we don’t rate anyone outside the top 15”

 

[Mich0]

Hopefully we are going for a 3 pick play (Rozee/Butters/Duursma) or (Jackson/Pickett/Duursma)

Will be interested to see if we can execute

 

[Bluelegs]

I think this sort of strategy is trickier than it sounds. If you're front loading guys you run the risk of them wanting out as soon as the good money is behind them. If you spread it out across the list the margins become so thin that the players you give extra to now expect that as their standard rate going forward.

If we're talking about buying picks I'm game but freeing up cap space for its own sake can easily put you in a spot where you just end up overpaying other players instead.

 

[MarcMaverick]

On the subject of List Managers saying that "Player X is a Require Player at our Club and he'll be their next year" they all do it. They acknowledge that there is interest in Player X but they're not going to hang them out to dry. Everyone is got their cards close to their chest and their fists to the chin.

 

[The Dr]

The real question can he back up for days two to ten. Remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint.

Fair to say his four-month preseason should hold him in good stead.

That's literally not going to attract anyone.

Players are wired differently these days. It's all about money and opportunities to potentially contend.

We are way off that.

If we don’t think we can contend then it’s time to sell off who we can and start again with a refreshed list.
