List Mgmt. 2024 Trade & List Management Thread - Part II

[Shinboner1]

Owies will now attempt to find a new home and has suitors at rival clubs after being told by the Blues they would need to wait until the trade period to assess his future.

He has kicked 60 goals in the last two seasons combined and ideally would stay at the Blues.

But given the impasse he has no other option but to start exploring that rival interest as a smart small forward who Champion Data ranked above average for forward 50 marks, ground ball gets and pressure as well as goals and accuracy after 33.13 for the season.

come on north

 

[justroyal]

If owies isn’t giving a **** off 600k x 5 deal like everyone else, I can see him being a player that actually wants to get better.

But if he does get that kind of deal everyone keeps getting around here. I see him coasting

 

[The Warlord]

There's an argument that we should've held JHF to his contract for a year and thereby all but guarantee Wardlaw goes to his childhood club * in lieu of Tsatas?

Are you mad?

And then JHF leaves anyway and we get much reduced compo.

Yep, that's the BIG BRANE position.

 

[DocSholl]

Bit of a gap between "salvaged a crap situation" and "engineered a brilliant multi-club trade that netted us Wardlaw AND Sheezel"

Carlton are desperate for a small forward but are shopping his bloke around. Easy pass.

It was both. I dislike much of what Rawlings has done, but this was a great save.

 

[The Warlord]

Would appreciate it if they could engineer it some way that I wouldn't have to read any more sooking about us missing Chad Warner.

We are the only club to draft a player who doesn't turn out to be a gun, and the only club to take a player ahead of another who becomes a gun.

Only us.

 

[The Warlord]

Its good when grown ups enter the chat.

 

[tricknologist]

Rawlings has made some questionable decisions. Rawlings salvaged as much as he could out of the disastrous JHF situation. Both of these things can be (and are) true.

 

[R00StaR]

Let me tell you something, I don't want any more comparisons between Jack Darling and Jarrad Waite, Shaun Higgins, Wayne Carey, Brett Chandler, Paul Geister, Glenn Gorman, Wade Kingsley or in fact anyone.

Why did you have to ruin our fun with the bolded part?

 

[Horace]

Surely North go after Jack Martin? A short contract would be low risk for smaller-medium forward and ceiling well above Owies.

Not for me. Martin is far too injury prone, whereas in my opinion, Owies would be a terrific addition to our list.

 

[soggybiscuitboys]

shhh ... he's mass communicatin'

 

[Samsquanch]

Personally, I think Darling could be one of our best late career signings since John Mossop. (Excluding those we aren't allowed to mention.)

You have triggered me now Tiberius. Even the memory of Mossop, along with Hay, Calthorpe and Bourke cause me to suffer conniptions.

the king of soft tissue injuries ?

 

[Horace]

shhh ... he's mass communicatin'

Hmmm. I wonder where this newly created account might take us all?

 

[lockheed]

Here's an idea. Rather than giving us priority picks or draft concessions or extra rookie spots, the league should just let us draft using hindsight. So we sit out the draft for a year, let everyone else's picks play a season, and then we choose retrospectively the year after and the clubs we steal from get a supplementary pick. Personally I could recommend a number of people to the club who are experts at hindsight drafting!

Not that I'm cynical about our club at all, but I reckon that there's still a fair chance we'd get it wrong

 

[Horace]

You have triggered me now Tiberius. Even the memory of Mossop, along with Hay, Calthorpe and Bourke cause me to suffer conniptions.

Hay was the worst. Like lambs to the slaughter, we were. At least in the case of David "I'm a skinny man" Calthorpe, we knew he was washed up when he arrived. Or perhaps I thought I did, anyway.

 

[Tas]

Is Jack Martin or Dion Prestia the king of soft tissue injuries ?

 

[Horace]

I think I would nominate Martin. Prestia's hamstrings have held together long enough to see him become a premiership player.

But if Prestia ever becomes available, we should run a million miles in the opposite direction.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Martin and Marchbank can play but are injured all the time. Hard pass.

The only real blue in his time is the CCJ trade, and even then, every list manager has stuff ups.

I've heard that Noble was a key driver of that one too.
