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

[King Hansen]

That’s the question, can he do that?

How many WC games have you watched last 2 years?

 

[Billy Not Really]

Jesus Christ we’re the ****ing worst when it comes to targeted trading in the past decade.

The only one who’s really been worth the pull over has been Logue.

 

[Roostorm]

Considering we are talking to Luke Park, Jack Darling, Tomlinson etc - says to me we actually are a retirement pay check while we seek to bring in 1-3 senior pro role models that can contribute to helping us get off the bottom of the ladder.

Talking yes. And that’s all it is at the moment ….speculation.
Tomlinson….maybe extra cover….and yes our backline needs it
I’ll take Parker everyday of the week…standards and that game a couple of weeks ago l thought he was done but boy did he drag that team over the line. Be great for two years if he can do it…
Realistically….we maybe luck to get one… and I say chase him.
But a guy that has absolutely checked out and lets be honest he’s wayyy past his prime compared to what Parker could bring …each to their own but no thanks from me.

 

[bennymate]

If we offer Darling a multi year deal we might as well fold.

 

[The Y Factor]

Brynn Teakle does just as much (yes less tackles) in 20+% less game time and probably 400k less a year....

50 less tackles, less goals, less leadership and experience.

It’s just a totally different approach and Clarko has been clear what he’s trying to do,

 

[NarniMagic]

This club makes it ****ing hard sometimes. 191cm, 343 next year, as mobile as a bag of cement. Can we seriously not do any better than that

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Seems like the same ignorant comments when we signed Jarrad Waite. We’ll get him for nothing. He’s the second highest goal scorer for West Coasr ever. Can help out Larky and allow Comben to stay back more with a fit Logue.

He had a couple of quieter seasons whilst West Coast have been dogshit but he’s still averaging a goal a game and missed not many so seems durable. Will add some leadership and be good to have at the club behind the scenes too I’m sure.

That’s for Clarko and crew to work out. I’m not the Jack Darking expert or coaching but he fits the bill as to what our general strategy is this trade period.

Neither am l and it will be interesting to see what unfolds…but personally I think it’s the wrong move.
Guess that’s what makes silly season interesting.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Clarko: we’re bringing in role models who will set elite performance standards

Darling: I listened to an Alex jones podcast and will not be playing your wokeball

The best part is we’ve supposedly asked WC to pay $200k, meaning we’ll pay $600k in 25 and probably offer around $400k in 26 meaning we’ll give him a million $’s.

Nice little top up for him.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Don't love it if true. Only positive is he's played in a flag and has added muscle to his body lol.
But not very mobile as the modern forwards.

 

[Psi-Roos]

Clarko must have really liked what he saw in Jacks game this day.

 

[Dan]

Could have had Darling in the 2010 draft instead of Atley.

#Hindsight

Not against the idea of getting him.

 

[amaz199]

Are we too good for Darling?

We got belted by 96 and 124 points. We bloody need anything we can get. Our team is in dire need of experience and leadership.

 

[amaz199]

Get anyone we can get cheap while our young players get some exposure.

We are too inexperienced and too young to handle the best teams.

 

[trooroo4life]

He’s already playing in a team who are getting belted every other week and not contributing. He is exactly who we DONT need. Why continually stack our list full of spuds that wouldn’t crack a game anywhere else.

There are other options out there if Rawlings wasn’t a useless campaigner. We don’t just have to settle for washed up hacks on big contracts. Enough is enough already.

There was never a question mark around Waite's onfield contributions, it was a matter of whether he'd be able to remain injury free. He was a rolls royce and anyone with any footy knowledge whatsoever knew that.

There's a great big question mark with bells hanging off it lingering around Darling's onfield contributions. He's slow as shit. He drops marks. West Coast fans wanted him gone earlier in the year.

Might as well cut out the middleman and make him a forwards coach if we want him in a leadership capacity. It'd be like getting Shiels at the start of this year rather than last year

 

[scottywiper]

I cannot stress enough what a shit idea this is. He is pretty much a laughing stock amongst Eagles fans. He offers nothing of any value to us. Just play Comben forward. We cannot keep bringing in shit trucks.

Who do you think are the other options we can get that guy that role?

 

[ChairmanZia]

No he isn't. We have state league quality talls coming out of our ears already - but no decent small forwards. CCJ, Pink, Teakle, Biggie, Darling. Are we collecting potatoes?

So name another key forward we have at the club that is better than Darling?

The list you have just mentioned other than Darling are not forwards and will never be forwards.

We are in this position because we let brown go for nothing and did not pick up wright, weidman when we had the chance.

For whatever reason, we didn't feel the need to draft some in the 2020 to 2023 draft or the midseason.

 

[Kangas_11]

We have a real issue of recruiting veteran players that don't improve the team, under the guise of "leadership".

Shiels and Greenwood are examples, Darling would be the exact same.

Stop providing these blokes with an extra paycheck before retirement and start targeting senior players that will improve us from Day 1 FFS.

I'd take Sam Day. Anyone but this hack who made a career playing alongside Josh Kennedy

1 Fwd at North better? Cam Zurhaar....

Same height. Same build. Can take a mark.

 

[ChairmanZia]

For all the hoohaa here, we just need a bunch of experienced players to take the team forward for the next 50 games.

 

[Ashley B]

Oh Darling, couldn't we find anyone older lol
