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

[Kangaroos4eva]

The melts have begun and we still have weeks before the trade season starts. Love it!

Bring this one out every trade season.

 

[Makeshift Park]

We aren't getting Houston your getting angry about something that has a 1% chance of happening.
We are getting some solid leadership and retaining our oh so precious draft picks to gamble with.

Reckon its a 30% prospect at this point, but happy to dream all the same.

 

[Shagga is all Class]

We are basing our success on the kids we have, the foundation that’s been set, and adding a hard bloke that still kicks 3 in a GF we can only dream of being in helps us get there.

Was there today and the guy kicked 3 whilst tagging Neale as a midfielder in a quarter.

There was no way he was going to kick 3 in that rubbish Swans forward line. Papley was probably worse than McDonald, McLean and Armartey.

Half back flankers are probably one of the most important positions in the modern game.

If Half back is one of the most important What would be the most important position in the modern game.

 

[Midas]

Reckon its a 30% prospect at this point, but happy to dream all the same.

Jesus I hope we get someone who can drive standards for 5-8 years rather than 2-3 like Darling and Parker.

Houston’s durability indicates he could easily be a core part of our next premiership quest.

Imagine bringing that lot into our squad to replace Shiels and Greenwood.

What’s wrong with people, that would be so profound in building a culture that can win.

For the cost of say (FOS #2) for (Langford or Armstrong or one of the twins) how far ahead are we as a club with Parker, Houston and Darling, on top of the talent we have.

Imagine Duusrma being mentored by Parker not Sleevo, Houston working with Hardeman, Bergman etc, it’s chalk and cheese.

We can’t keep drafting with minimal leadership.

It’s not even a risk to bring Houston in for an early pick for a later first round pick which will be the reality.

I’m excited about where we go when this happens.

Houston is our poor man’s Lachie Neale, two time all Australian who worked his butt off to get into the competition (Rookie draft), what an amazing addition.

Please make this happen North.

Small forward imo.
Everyone has mids
Just my 2c

So how do we get one without going to the draft. There are a few rippers in this years draft.

 

[ToxicMegaPunts]

Half back flankers are probably one of the most important positions in the modern game.

Totally, the only positions arguably more important are inside mids, outside mids, key forwards, small forwards, half forwards, wingers, and rucks. But definitely more important than back pockets.

Sorry, my point is what did you want Parker to do?

His first 2.5 quarters he was trying to nullify Andrews - not his natural role.

Then he goes to Neale and kicks three in the last, admittedly in junk time, but should he just turn his toes up.

Perfect example for our club to keep going no matter what.

Confused as to your point.

What a perfect bloke to bring into our club to set standards.

 

[Passmore]

Sunday October 6 will be when Luke Parker announces his intention to join NMFC.

What’s wrong with tonight when he’s 10 cans in.

 

[jay317]

Kicked 3 and had the most tackles for his team in a GF. Why are we doubting the pick up, especially if it's for a 40s pick.

 

[King Hansen]

Totally, the only positions arguably more important are inside mids, outside mids, key forwards, small forwards, half forwards, wingers, and rucks. But definitely more important than back pockets.

Key forwards don't win finals anymore so don't need them. So hence key backs are worthless. Small forwards kick the goals so you need dashing half backs to keep them accountable.

Hence half backs are the most important. I rest my case.

 

[King Hansen]

Inside mids.

 

[buttox]

So how do we get one without going to the draft. There are a few rippers in this years draft.

We can draft one or two but they really need a pro to learn off.
Similar to Parker for our mids.
We will need to trade at least one in imo.

 

[Shagga is all Class]

Half back flankers are probably one of the most important positions in the modern game.

Brisbane took 158 marks in a grand final and Zorko went at 96%.

Watching the Brisbane spread live today was amazing when they win the ball at half back. They can kick.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Jesus I hope we get someone who can drive standards for 5-8 years rather than 2-3 like Darling and Parker.

Strategically, the most important thing for our club is that we become competitive within a year. Or two at the most.

Houston helps us more in that regard than getting some surplus midfield kid who may or may not become elite with the big boys.

If we become competitive, we attract free agents. If we don't, we waste LDU and lose trade opportunities.

 

[ToxicMegaPunts]

Key forwards don't win finals anymore so don't need them. So hence key backs are worthless. Small forwards kick the goals so you need dashing half backs to keep them accountable.

Hence half backs are the most important. I rest my case.

Who were the Lions half backs today, Zorko & Answerth? Both admittedly had good games, but wouldn't have been in their most important dozen players.

 

[Passmore]

Houston can actually play…why the **** would we want him for?

 

[travelli]

Darcy gardener and lincon mccarthy will struggle making it back into the lions.

 

[RossHenshaw]

Houston IS NOT COMING ?!

 

[pupstar]

Key forwards don't win finals anymore so don't need them. So hence key backs are worthless. Small forwards kick the goals so you need dashing half backs to keep them accountable.

Hence half backs are the most important. I rest my case.

So if the small forwards are kicking all the goals the Half backs Arnt being very accountable then.

 

[rickety]

Kicked 3 and had the most tackles for his team in a GF. Why are we doubting the pick up, especially if it's for a 40s pick.

In a quarter became the swans best player for the day.

 

[Passmore]

Houston IS NOT COMING ?!

Is that a question or statement?

 

[Shagga is all Class]

Darcy gardener and lincon mccarthy will struggle making it back into the lions.

They also get 2 under 18 AA players for SFA and have Coleman coming back from an ACL. The rich get richer.

 

[King Hansen]

So if the small forwards are kicking all the goals the Half backs Arnt being very accountable then.

Just trade for good ones then like Houston.

 

[King Hansen]

They also get 2 under 18 AA players for SFA and have Coleman coming back from an ACL. The rich get richer.

They were the laughing stock of the AFL up till 2018.

Swings and roundabouts.
