[Crow-eater]

If we're interested in pick 12, we are definitely trading out or delisting a contracted player. We do not have the list spots to bring in ANB/Cumming/Peatling and 4/12/Welsh. Not even Welsh as a rookie.

 

[dude316]

We can easily free up 6 spots.
3 trades - Cumming, Peatling, ANB
3 draft picks - 4, 12 and Welsh

What are the 6 spots that are available? I’m trying to get my head around it.
Sloane, Gollant, McHenry, Himmleberg.
Hamill and Parnell from the rookie list and put Smith/Walker there?
Schoenberg?

I think I read earlier today that Smith is not contracted for next season despite everyone thinking he had reached a trigger in his contract.

 

[betterthanu]

I think I read earlier today that Smith is not contracted for next season despite everyone thinking he had reached a trigger in his contract.

That will be news to Smith who said on the news a few weeks ago that hes contracted and will be here next year.

 

[Vader]

I notice you didnt criticise the post I got the info from

I didn't look to see what it was. I just saw you going off with a half-cocked hissy-fit, as usual.

In any case, I've addressed the issues you were hissy-fitting over before.

Or we don’t get Peatling

Thats exactly what I thought as well when I read the article, just trying to find it now to see if I misread.

stop worrying about list spots they can work it out easily

Currently uncontracted players are:

• McHenry
• Gollant
• Parnell (R)
• Himmelberg
• Hamill (R)
• Burgess (maybe)
• Sloane
• Smith (maybe)

Delisting both Parnell & Hamill allows us to move a player from the senior list to the rookie list (via delisting & re-drafting).

There's enough flexibility there to make 3x ND selections (pick #4, Welsh, plus one other), as well as bringing in ANB, Cumming and one other player via trade or free agency.

 

[SadCromFan]

Smith is contracted. He hit his trigger. Fox are just wrong (standard).

Yeah, moving vets to the rookie list is done all the time. There is also Burgess.

Schoenberg would be one of them you'd imagine if we paid out a contracted player

smith and strachan before schoeneberg

Get it done AFC!!!

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Have we hit the point of being classified as being aggressive this trade period

 

[ams4crows]

smith and strachan before schoeneberg

Smith contract might be worth more I'd imagine, you'd only delist Strachan if you knew you were taking a ruck in the draft. Can't only have Toby Murray as a back up.

 

[Crows I Am]

How would we actually make that happen

We currently own pick 25, 42 and 60. We could trade these 3 picks to the suns for pick 12. Works out almost the same points wise.

Suns would probably only do that though if they were to get more points. So would mean we would need to get our hands on another pick this year somehow.

Doing shit like this, probably doesn't help attract talent to the club. Bloody nuffie who ever did this

 

[Cromulant]

Strange if we are looking to bring in pick 12 when we are struggling for list spots.

Are we trading players out?

If theres truth to it then we would have to be.

 

[Cyclonus]

Why would Peatling even want to leave GWS, he's a local, the club is strong, doesn't make sense.
