List Mgmt. 2024 List Management thread - Trade Targets

[MadMundy]

Is reddit our prominent other board? Dockerland isn't really a thing anymore is it?

I'd say Reddit is the next biggest one, they skew far too positively though in my opinion, seem to just blatantly ignore anything bad and try to focus on the positives.

Most criticism is downvoted over there.

 

[DragoDelph]

My expectations are now so high, that I'll be devastated if all we get this trade period is Bolton. Equally, I'll be flat if we get Bolton and Pickett this year and miss Chad next year.

Might be setting myself up for disappointment I think.

We're Freo.

Disappointment is in our motto

In fairness, there was really no one banging down the door.

Once NOD found form, he was pretty quick to come into the side.

Ras and Brodie were racking up 35 touches every week at Peel.

Yeah, that's basically reddit full stop. It is extremely young and progressive. R/AITA is actually a surreal experience. I generally don't post much there because the set up isn't the best for discussion IMO due to how it's all formatted.

I am off the opinion, that they both can only play one position and Fyfe is filling that role.

You could argue that one of them could have replaced Fyfe, but in my opinion I don't think we get a lot of benefit from that.
Next year Fyfe should only play half the year.

If this happens would this put more pressure on JL? as surely this would easily be the best Freo list ever assembled... Multiple premierships would be possible

JL needs to be under more pressure to perform. He seems to exist in a state of suspend animation with very few consequences for his short comings (and there are plenty of them)

His record so far is very middle of the road. There should be plenty of growth left in our young squad with the possibility of additional talent coming in if things go well in the trading season.

The talent will be there and JL must perform way better or get moved on. Talent alone will not win a flag.

The Freo subreddit all hate that flagmantle campaigner so they're alright in my book.

Houston claims he's not going anywhere:

'I am not leaving': Power star shuts down trade rumours

Star defender Dan Houston says he's rejecting offers from rival clubs and is staying at Port Adelaide

Realised Melbourne are a basket case and saints not much better lol

Ras having an extra 20 full games under his belt would have been a huge benefit. He's already dominating the WAFL and can only improve so much playing at the lower level. Some short term pain but it needs to happen. Ideally over the past 2 years when we didn't play finals anyway.

So will they try to move Butters out now?

Wander how desperate Port are to get into this years first round?

 

[DragoDelph]

Cerra may end up at the Demons after all...

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

Him leaving was a massive win for us. Amiss >>> Cerra. He's a good player but is just your average good AFL mid. Nothing special.

Surely not Butters desperate?

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I wonder if that's enough salary going out. Sounds like Trac has the most expensive contract in the AFL

 

[Quazar2]

who is courting Trac...? Who are the clubs "most likely"...? Surely not Carlton?!

 

[guidodp15]

St Kilda fans are welcome anytime after Sundays win.

unless that saints fan is scoops

 

[DragoDelph]

Martin will be gone, McGovern, Saad & Williams at the end of their deals as well.

Will be an interesting watch.

But it's also why I think a First Rounder and Swit to Melbourne makes sense. Rebuild & contend in the same deal.

 

[Deanismyhero]

When do we have to make our list decisions by ? ie i wouldnt want to re sign emmet and then we get both of these 2.

Awesome. No first round picks for Port to lure Kozzie

 

[DragoDelph]

Blues & Pies most likely.

Mackay off the table, so Cerra out makes sense.

DeGoey & Quaynor have been raised to generate capital by Pies, but don't think that makes sense, would send them backwards.

 

[MadMundy]

Yeah, it sucks when you try to have a proper discussion about the club and it all just boils down to "We're still so young" "We have a lot to be happy about!!"

Even with Cerra out, how can Carlton afford Trac..?!?! It's pretty preposterous

 

[DragoDelph]

Surely not Butters desperate?

There's been murmurs around Butters leaving at the end of his contract.

Maybe he's decided to go early, and they've convinced Houston to stay with a spot in the middle?

(plus his preferred destination up sugar creek without so much as a paddle pop)

 

[DragoDelph]

Man, you can be equally positive about the future, and upset about the now.

Yeah, we're young, so what, we still bottled it ffs
