Phil Harper step on up!

bartel

 

[Cromulant]

I agree with you. I posted the day Peatling announced he chose Adelaide that we should take it to the PSD and it was disliked by many on here.

Sorry, but if GWS don't like what we're offering, and we're being very generous with a F2 pick, then take it or leave it. They have no bargaining power. We get him for free in the PSD and keep our F2. GWS are pissed that they've lost half a dozen players this off season and want to play hardball. Suits us to a tee.

The only thing is, I reckon someone else takes him and we as a club wouldn't like those optics.

In saying that, the Gianta might have done well to offer him a good contract and more midfield time if they rated him this highly

 

[Cromulant]

bartel

Wouldn't mind it but very unlikely

 

[George Kramer]

Well basically most of our best players have been traded in

This includes 2 that were discarded by another club and are both in the leadership group

He’s by far the most competent person in list management and recruiting at the club given his role is mainly to target and acquire mature age players that can help the squad , of course he’s backed up by one or 2 guys from recruiting that look at mature age players too

Meanwhile Hamish and his team have struggled to draft players that come up to same standards , some have but alot have struggled and delisted

The question would be is it drafting or development or both as trading has gone well after Reid’s initial issues with Gibbs etc in first couple years

Reid is competent enough to be offered a job at a big melb club , Hamish isn’t getting any job offers . Pretty sure this will be his last job in the afl

When!!!

 

[ABAB]

it does make sense
they get a good first next year
we get two shit firsts. pick 15 will be 20 on the night.

Clearly GWS think we won't be bottom 4 next year with a much easier draw so want pick 46 with F2 so why would they want F1 as they think this would be around pick 10? We should have given them pick 28 and F2 to Melbourne.

 

[mcleod at 50 lines it up]

That Gibbs trade was a bloody disgrace.
How anyone thought that was a good idea at the time is beyond me.

Not doing it the previous year was yes

Every club that finished below us would draft him, and it would severely damage our credibility not only with other clubs but with prospective recruits. There's a reason that the threat of walking a player to the PSD is almost never actually exercised.

 

[Crow till I die]

Wouldn't mind it but very unlikely

I caught something on the radio where bartel mentioned he had had some informal chats..can't confirm it was with us though?

But he would be a terrific get, a serial winner and knows the game inside oit and always sounds astute and measured when interviewed

When was the last time that happened? Nick Stevens is the only one I can remember.

Generally there hasn't been 5 or 6 clubs going after a player when they've been pushed into it.

It very rarely happens because clubs generally agree to a trade.

no they wont its never happened

plus they will be too busy salivating over bailey smith

Smith won't go to the PSD

 

[George Kramer]

I only heard as Rowey went to the break and he mentioned Reid to Collingwood and Bartel to Adelaide. Is this a rumour or just his wishing?

Would be a great get and he gets to stay in Melbourne

They speak to Bartel on the show Wednesdays I think, or they did during the season anyway. Might be a case of "we know him, let's get him"

Which in this case I'd agree with

Wasn’t there a story he wanted to get into list management and that’s why he stepped down from GWS?

So Bartel as list manager? Hasn’t had experience in the role so would be a stab in the dark, but I’d be on board

Edit: I’m wrong, he worked as a consultant in that space with the Lions

 

[Mutineer]

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Far out, so a bid in at the last pick in 2nd round eats into our F1 whereas the 1st in 3rd round eats into our F3? And he's expected to be bid on at about 40, this is hilarious. We should have approached the ANB negotiation like we didn't care whether we got him or not, which is exactly what our list management committee should have been thinking. Great if we get him at the right price, stiff $hit if we don't. He can suck it up and stay at Melbourne, retire or play for Port, him wanting to get back to Adelaide is not our problem to overcome.

Our F1 will not be affect if we go into points deficit

 

[PeterSalt]

What big gun key forward has collingwood attracted in the last 10 years even though they’ve gone for most ? And been in dire need of one for most of that time

Mcstay doesn’t count , he’s the biggest one they’ve landed despite being in market for all

There are Collingwood folk still scratching their heads that Lynch went to Richmond

He was a massive pie fan growing up and most of his family are massive pie nuffies as well

 

[Cromulant]

I thought Melbourne were looking at him for that, I'd love to get him

If the Pies were smart, they would go after Lynch instead of Houston given Tigers are selling off their best players.

Would make their forward line very potent!

Would anyone want to manage the Dees list when they are in self destruct mode?

 

[George Kramer]

Yeah we will watch this space when it’s been reported all day you flog

Tough gig to jump into
