List Mgmt. 2024 List Management thread - Trade Targets Part 2

[Snuffaluphagus]

If Martin is free on a 1 year deal I think that’s fine.

Any more news regarding Bolton? Bit silent lately.

Dont need news on Bolton, that ones basically done. He'll be in purple

Silence is good in this case.

 

[David Bubb]

No real downside to getting Martin for cheap, certainly not worth melting over

 

[Taylor]

That Adam Cerra has posterior chain issues ALL season after barely if ever having an issue in 76 games at Freo, even playing near full years at Carlton prior to this one, makes me think their injury management might be similar to Gold Coast's

 

[Taylor]

Just watch Carlton try and argue Martin is an unrestricted free agent if we offer him two years with a trigger for a third.

5th round pick trade.

Don’t think he qualifies as a previously delisted free agent tbh.

When he was ‘delisted’ from Gold Coast he was so because he wouldn’t sign a deal. He had to go through the pre season draft to get to Carlton for that reason.

Surely the AFL can’t bend the rules that are reasonably clear.

 

[Dayts]

Hopefully the Martin things just a pitch to help get Kozzie over. He said he wanted to player with more indigenous team mates didn’t he?

Also think that chat 100% ramps up again prelim week and he will be asking for a trade as soon as he’s able to

 

[Lach72]

I'm fine with Martin for free on nothing. Would clear out additional players if needed to make it work

What’d I say?

He delisted himself, but they will ask. Definitely doesn't count as a delisted free agent

Has he got rocks in his head?

 

[Purpletown]

We can have Martin or Winder but not both I think.

Having seen Winder play for Souths it's hard to be convinced he is anything but an extremely long shot to be of much value on our list. He is a very good WAFL player however.

He's one yellow eye, one black.

I think these media people with a microphone think if they say these things enough it will influence the outcome.

The same Carlton who is playing a bloke who's had 3 knee recons afters 6 months?

Yeah there's something wrong with their fitness team to even consider that. I really hope he's ok but I'd say he's odds on to retear his ACL this weekend or in the preseason.

 

[Boomer93]

I remember how incredibly upset i was about Jaeger and Martin being stolen from WA to go to GC.

If you told me they would both end up at freo i would have had a heart attack. Now it couldnt be less exciting haha.

I think it's worth a shot backing our medicos to get more out of Jack Martin

than Carlton or Gold Coast's

 

[chaosball32]

I can’t believe people are in here acting like Martin to Freo is a good thing. This is a bloke who’s 30, hasn’t played a full season since 2017 due to injuries (across 2 clubs before people blame strength and conditioning teams), and even when he does get on the park has never lived up to the pick 1 status.

I know our forward line is dismal but surely we aren’t that desperate. I don’t care if he’s free, he’s a waste of a list spot. We have the best draft hand in years to trade in some serious talent and we are settling for scraps again?

 

[Superkoops]

Seems very odd that we’re doing a medical with him now. Carlton playing finals. Also if we were to select him you’d expect it to be as a Delisted Free agent or similar to Sharp SSP. Both type of selections are miles off the necessity to do a medical while his team is still playing finals.

would be funny if they do so i approve

I put myself through the torture of watching our last game versus Port. After that I hope we do everything possible to bring in players who can get the ball and dont fumble. Provided he comes for free ((eg delisted free agent or SSP) I think Martin's worth a shot.

 

[s_wd6]

The biggest likelihood for Martin is that he comes in, is never fit, and wastes a year (or two) trying to get fit playing no games. Meanwhile he's getting paid money that could have gone to someone else who we will inevitably lose because they got a better offer elsewhere.

Sure at his best he would be a good pick up, but the likelihood for that is very low. Unless he's dirt cheap salary wise and on a rookie list I don't really see the benefit in it all.

Rookie list is prob his go. Similar to Sharp via SSP. Otherwise my concerns as a DFA on primary list I share all your concerns.

We do seem rather tight on list space at the Rookie list. We have 7 when we are only allowed 6 (due to Voss replacing Corbett)

Worner - contracted
Sharp - contracted
Reidy - reportedly contracted
Voss - reportedly contracted
Stanley - seems in trouble
Kuek - seems in trouble
Jones - ??

 

[Megalon]

Why didn’t we draft mannagh was literally the perfect player for us this year

Reckon Cooper Simpson went later than the list management team expected and we just grabbed him. Nothing against Mannagh

 

[vidwhal]

You have to give it to port.

They are very good at identifing talent, and then going all in for a player.


I wish we were half as good in this area.

Is this ironic, considering NODs on our list?? ;p

Lawson Humphries was right under our nose too. Kid can seriously play!
