List Mgmt. 2024 Draft & Trade Hypotheticals

Good luck to opposition finding a matchup for Blakey. He will cause nightmares. The confusion alone caused by his wheels due to opposition needing constant handovers for him.

We should be able to force favourable matchups and loose players with his presence up there

 

[LukeParkerno1]

It won't happen, but...

Houston in, Blakey to forward line, drop a KPF.

Would burn off every defender as an outlet target. Intercepting KPDs would have nightmares knowing that it doesn't matter where he is in the F50, if the ball sits up (hey it's our F50 entry) he could get to them.

Wouldn't normally entertain it, but for Houston I might.

Blakey is terrible up forward why on earth are we moving him. His errors drive me insane and he’s as dumb as can be but we don’t need Houston.

What we need is simple key talls both ends, possible a winger as we need to replace Lloyd soon enough, definately a small or pressure forward. Those would be the needs surely not a Houston type. I love Dan but it’s just asking for trouble on a list standpoint and also keeping the bloke

Yeah he sure caused me my fair share of nightmares this year!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Still think we need pressure more than we need goals.

An elite forward pressure game can create more goals than any one talented goalkicker can.

Gotta get some quality smalls into the team.

Agreed pressure/small forward is one of my needs. Wouldn’t be against going first up in the draft with this

Hahahha what was the best one?

Are there any ready-to-go small forwards in the draft? I know nothing about this year's draft.

I suppose most small forwards are senior-ready. It's probably the easiest position to slot into an AFL 22 in as a teenager, a la Papley.

 

[FreeAgent1]

What about we give Parker and 58 for 25 or is that fantasy land?

 

[hairy biker]

I find this board's faith in Stringer ..... disturbing.

It seems some on this board have more faith in Stringer than Essendon FC who are effectively pushing him out the door (40 goals and all).

 

[caesar88]

Hahahha what was the best one?

Any one of his dinky kicks trying to be cute that just go straight to the opposition, that if any other player in the team regularly did they'd be flayed by fans for!

 

[SwansLifer]

Good point on Trade Radio. If GWS land Stringer it may/will push some of the younger forwards they have out. At some stage one is going to want out. Need to keep an eye on it.

We have Campbell, Cleary and Hanily at home.

In fairness, asking us who to trust more out of Jake Stringer and Essendon FC is like, as Sean Locke would say, asking if I'd rather step in dog shit or cow shit.

2 different situations.

Bombers are trying to turn the whole club around.

We are just trying to find someone to put us over the top

Some extra info from another press conference with Keane (video doesn’t seem to be uploaded anywhere)

Sounds like Ladhams likely to stay

Somebody asked about Wicks - had a positive exit meeting and fully invested

Sounds like we’re not looking at trading anyone in:

"In terms of areas we might need to address, we might look to do that in the draft," Keane added.

Sydney provide clarity on young gun's future, rule out exits for fringe pair: AFL trade news

"We'll see how that plays out."

Here’s the video of the presser with Keane:

 

[Nuggetz]

Callum M Brown from gws would be a good punt for mid sized fwd. Has the athleticism & good foot skills but hasn't quite clicked for him.

Hotton is my favourite one but Kako is the ready made one (unavailable Essendon NGA). Hotton has a lot of tricks

That’s one I don’t hate actually worth the punt

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Probably the utter most but that’s what I’d be trying to do

 

[LukeParkerno1]

His errors always cost goals too drives me bonkers needs to know when to take a risk and when not to

 

[Adnico26Parker]

So we had a swing at getting Riley Garcia: “despite late significant interest from Sydney in the past fortnight…”

 

[Superstar swan]

Garcia would have been a great acquisition. He’s no game changer but he’d add some speed and pressure to the forward line and relatively cheap.

Oh well.wasnt to be

But it was good identification by the club

 

[dosser]

Yeah as if.
Trying to make it look like we are doing something.
He is going HOME to Victoria.

Hellooooo Mr Tippett!

 

[caesar88]

So we had a swing at getting Riley Garcia: “despite late significant interest from Sydney in the past fortnight…”

My question would be why was our significant interest in Garcia "late"?

Could be a number of things. Did we not think we needed to go after a small forward but then suddenly changed our minds?Did we not become aware of Garcia's potential availability until very late in the game? Was Garcia not on our radar because we were secretly after someone else? Was our interest in Garcia only the result of one of our own smalls wanting out unexpectedly?

But frustrating.

Was Garcia's manager pushing up the price?
