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

[Wizard]

Sounds like a pr release from Melbourne trying to put out a fire.

Maybe that’s copium,but I always thought this was one to watch for in another 12 months

Far out, you lot will twist anything that says hes not coming to be some sort of conspiracy.

 

[freocuz]

Daniher retired. Big tabs leading them to a back to back next season?

That’s a big call from Joe, fair play to him for going out on a high.

Rory Lobb seems the logical whore to put his hand up for that spot.

for pick 20 odd. Yet we have to give 2 firsts for Shai…

 

[Wizard]

I thnink he means that Port are done chasing after him, they have apparently been in contact each of the last two years. Fremantle are replacing Port in the conversations but honestly it sounds like Pickett doesn't know what he wants.

I think he a potential flight risk wherever he is.

Even if he does come West (highly unlikely) how long until he decides he wants to be in SA? Or better yet he gets to 28-29 and decides he has made enough money, and his family wants to head back to the territory.

Ones OOC and the other has 3-4 years left

Shai is contracted Bailey is not.

 

[Azz 27]

Enter………. Isaiah Windsor!

Winder is not a small forward at WAFL level. Plays half forward, mid role.

Not sure where he will play in the AFL.

Irrelevant. Richmond clearly want him gone

Pickett is just about the perfect fit for Fremantle but agree, he seems to be super unreliable in terms of what he wants.

 

[Moo]

Morris just said Pickett going no where and if he was to go anywhere it’d be port Adelaide

So we’re a realistic shot then!

 

[Alfonz]

The interesting part is just mentioning Port - can then claim he didn't mention Freo when it happens.

'He was going to stay but Fremantle came late and changed things'

Doesn't like living in Melbourne, but doesn't want to leave Melbourne. Makes sense.

 

[arsesmart]

Looking at the salty Richmond comments re Bolton, they rate him just as much a weapon in the middle as up forward.

Might need to factor him into our midfield rotations.

Transition speed is something well and truly on our checklist and it's definitely something he's got in his kitbag to help with. But the minutes he spends there is highly adjustable.

 

[s_wd6]

Far out, you lot will twist anything that says hes not coming to be some sort of conspiracy.

Clubs always deny deny deny and then trade their players anyway so as long as trade period isn’t over he’s he will be a chance.

A few months ago Shai was categorically staying at Richmond

 

[arsesmart]

Doesn't like living in Melbourne, but doesn't want to leave Melbourne. Makes sense.

Port isn't his preference either. If it's home and support he wants, Pickett has said himself it's here he has the strongest links to.

 

[Alfonz]

As others have said, Smith is uncontracted.

But more importantly, Bolton is a much better player.

And for the umpteenth time, we will be buying salary cap relief and that could be worth a first rounder by itself.

 

[Tundrawolf]

Not sure why people are putting a line through Pickett.

Trade week hasn't even started yet.

I live with eternal optimism and will only discount him when there's a couple of minutes of trade period left.

 

[Big Animal]

Hopefully this kills the Pickett talk.

I think Bolton is a great get and hopefully we can stay in the first round.

cause Tom Morris said it...................................................ok

IMO nothing will happen with Pickett (whether he comes or decides he's staying at the Dees) until after Bolton is done.

Freo need to be sure what Bolton will cost in terms of picks and $/year before any subsequent negotiation for a contracted Pickett. Dees would also need to know what's on the table.

It's not killing the Pickett talk, it's going to enhance it. Tom justifying why Pickett wouldn't go and then mentioning Port and not Freo just throws petrol on the fire. Enjoy another 200 pages of Pickett talk on here before this is over.

Why give up hope so easily? AFL usually allow an extra 30 mins or so past the deadline to finalise paperwork already begun.

Shai is a good player, the other bloke is an over rated show pony

I’m more worried about a situation where we play stupid with Pickett because of the Warner pipe dream and then he actually ends up requesting a trade but it’s to Port because they actually committed to him even though his preference would’ve been WA.

 

[Taylor]

I expect Brisbane to chase someone with that spare million bucks after Daniher retired. Very happy we have Treacy signed up long term already.

Bobby hill it is

Cause we don't want to get excited and then come crashing down when it doesn't eventuate? I am quite confident it won't happen which flipping sucks but it is what it is.

 

[Big Animal]

Tabs would like a million bucks

Hey, it crashes down on us even when it does eventuate (cough Hogan cough). Let us have our fun
