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

[DragoDelph]

If Richmond act like their Bigfooty board they’ll have a disgruntled Petracca version in Bolton.

His Mrs has wanted back from as early as 2021 from what I’ve been told. They always planned to come back..f knows why he signed long term.

Probably around the dollars they felt he was owed, so get that locked in, and then look at a move.

He was expecting to stay for at least next year, probably the year after, but Richmond’s circumstances changed quick.

 

[DragoDelph]

Would expect a balloon payment this year, before it dropping back to around 8-900k after

 

[Eski3]

John Meeson on Sam Sturt on Gettable "I'm pretty sure they're pretty close on a 2 year extension with Sam", mentioned freo have a fair bit to do this trade period but reiterated he thinks its pretty close to locking him into a 2 year deal.

John must not directly cover Sturt by the way he said this, but he must be managed by someone else in the same agency he works for

Can we calm the farm on the player leaving stuff now? We are clearly focusing on getting players in, for the first time in years we have not had any contract distractions this year

"Freo have a bit to do"

Bolton and.....?

"Freo have a bit to do"

Sounds like 3+ moves to me. Could still be Baker and we'll know that today you'd think.

Can't wait to hear which best 22 player is leaving this year.

There's got to be a pressure forward stuck in the 2s somewhere that might interest us.

That kind of money is hard to turn down I'd imagine.

It's rather ironic that we have, for years, lamented small forwards who apply heaps of pressure, but don't impact the scoreboard too much...but here we are.

I took that to mean we have 3 first round picks and we want to use them to bring people in. I think we can lock in Bolton and I assume we're having a big crack at Warner. The Gettable guys have been running with the line that we'll be very active this trade period for a while now

Probably explains why he's inexplicably on 1.2 mil a year at the Tigers

Let's just hope it's not a bunch of 30+ year old JOM types. This whole thing is starting to reek of desperation from Garlick and JL to save their jobs. Not much thought given beyond that and the big picture long term.

 

[Taylor]

You have to believe in Chad to get Chad.

Yeah, but a lot of the noisy targets we were linked to are now off the table.

All signs are pointing to Warner staying this time around.

Cumming likely SA.

McDonald, Errol, all signed up.

Garcia & Richards aren't exactly big moves, likely to be 4th rounders.

Expect Baker to nominate West Coast later today.

There's a surprise somewhere.

 

[Mags98]

how much would freddy fetch? bolton replaces him, keep switta in the forward line and bring in another pressure forward

 

[DragoDelph]

Also, if we trade out Ras, who is our midfield depth next year?

Need to hang onto him.

“We still have work to do”

…

“Welcome to Freo, Travis Colyer!”

 

[DragoDelph]

Would Macrae be an option for a Fyfe replacement if Warner is not happening?

 

[DragoDelph]

…

“Welcome to Freo, Travis Colyer!”

We need forward class.

Welcome Nathan Wilson

 

[apuchar]

I did think that myself.

 

[go_the_dockers]

Also, if we trade out Ras, who is our midfield depth next year?

Need to hang onto him.

Especially with Fyfe being close to retirement. I can see him taking that role.

 

[Taylor]

Put Erasmus in the gym and on the sausage rolls IMMEDIATELY then.

 

[Joao]

Both would be nice but feels like there aren't many of those.

Bolton and Sturt can kick goals, the others have to pressure like madmen.

Bolton isn't a replacement for Freddy. Freddy is that super fast dude with a massive tank that does heaps of running, often for no rewards, like a winger.

Players like Freddy are rare, especially given he can mark and kick. If he was slightly cleaner he'd be an AA contender.

Would Macrae be an option for a Fyfe replacement if Warner is not happening?

I think it makes more sense to increase the responsibility for Johnson and Erasmus. Macrae seems to have been frozen out of the system by "the modern game". Not exactly sure why, he can run and kick but yeah not young and clearly not that highly rated anymore.

What is Fredericks best role?

If the forward line is
Sturt, Bolton, Richards, Treacy, Jackson, Amiss where does he fit?

Richards hey?

I'm comfortable pretending that Richards isn't part of our forwardline.

And come on dude, you literally replied to a post where I said what Freddy's role was asking me what Freddy's role was.

freddy doesnt get reward because he fumbles. i expect bolton to be able to run the same patterns and probably better than freddy tbh just more reliably can pick the ball up. in our forward line currently they are the most like for like imo
