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.

 

[Waynesworld]

Below average yes but to be honest we haven't had much luck and there are a lot of promising signs for example Michael Borlow development coach of the season (NMFC Media, 2024)

My god you’re Chairman Zia aren’t you!

Trade preview: Where key targets sit, Roos’ triple play, Tigers’ haul

North Melbourne is eyeing a bumper triple play in this year’s trade period to help the club rise up in Alastair Clarkson’s third year as coach.

The Kangaroos spoke with Western Bulldogs’ playmaker Caleb Daniel last week and are expected to land Sydney Swans’ veteran Luke Parker, 31, and West Coast forward Jack Darling, 32, next month.

Port Adelaide defender Dan Houston is also on the Kangaroos’ radar, however the dual All-Australian may yet nominate Carlton as his preferred new ho
me.

Daniel, 28, is yet to decide whether he will pursue a move from the kennel, following jet ballwinners Bailey Smith (Geelong) and Jack Macrae (St Kilda) out the door.

Daniel is expected to make a call on his future this week after talks with the Kangaroos on their vision for the next few seasons and the Dogs about his spot in the side.

The Dogs could demand a second-round pick for Daniel who played 16 games this year including his best performances in the last three games of the season.

In particular, Daniel’s excellent kicking skills would help North’s ball movement in the back half and middle part of the ground after 10 years at the Dogs

North would be thrilled to land Daniel and Parker to bolster their contested ball winning and ball movement, while Darling would allow gun tall Charlie Comben to stay in defence.

But the Dogs would hold the upper hand in any trade talks on Daniel’s future as he is contracted on a deal worth about $700,000 until the end of 2026.

The Dogs can also afford to keep Daniel, who is a popular team member, as the departures of Smith and Macrae clear up significant salary cap space for the club.

The Kangaroos also have significant salary cap room and want some top-line established talent to help the club lift out of the AFL doldrums after years at the bottom.

Parker, who played a defensive forward role on star Lion Harris Andrews in the grand final, is expected to depart the Swans following an exit meeting with the club over the next two days.

His toughness, consistency, leadership and experience are being targeted by North on a lucrative multi-year deal while Darling could help Nick Larkey in attack.

Parker spent the start of the season on the sidelines after a pre-season injury and had to bide his time in the VFL and will face a significant fight to secure a spot in the Swans’ senior side next year.

Teammate Taylor Adams was also left out of the premiership decider and is intent on breaking back into the seniors after his trade from Collingwood last year.

The Kangaroos could land Darling and Parker with late third and fourth-round picks, but would have to part with a top 25 pick to land the contracted Daniel.

Clarkson’s men have pick number two in the draft and are considering splitting that selection for two later choices in the first round.

The Roos have been linked to the best defender in this year’s draft class, Luke Trainor, who has family links to North Melbourne and is a keen Roos’ fan.

He is expected to be taken late in the first 10 selections, meaning the Roos could slide back from pick two to take him and have another late first-round pick to trade.

North Melbourne was interested in Melbourne hard nut Jack Viney but the Demon decided to stay, meaning the Roos set their sights on Parker.

Smith is expected to nominate Geelong as his preferred new home this week.

The Cats are also eyeing Jack Martin, from Carlton, is holidaying on Gold Coast amid interest from Fremantle as well.

Martin is set to decide on his new club this week amid frustrations with the way his injuries were managed at the Blues this year.

No way he is worth a 2nd rounder even if he wasn't on big money for the next 2 years.

Not for me

But hypothetically choose one

I wouldn't trade with Port, period.

Exactly.

We finish second last next year and we go ‘oh wow can’t wait for Dyson Sharp to join us!!’..

Meanwhile LDU (heading into his prime) is walking out the back door..

If he keeps kicking the way he did this season, I'll escort him to the door. At some point we have to call his ineptness out! He's gotta win the ball and feed it to H who can kick, not shank it, not scrubber it.. hit a bloody target on the tit! Especially if he wants $1m+ a season.

Would also love to know if we have approached Joe Richards at all

You keep only hearing port an interstate club being interested

I think it's good we're finally not hearing a thing. We've leaked for too long.

From the calibre of big mids and silky mids we’ve seen this year, it will probably come back to bite me, but why should we miss out on that for long time north fan, an undersized key defender?

 

[Farthers]

Fagan started in 2017 but you have to remember there was 3 years of garbage before his arrival. There were 2 maybe from that 2015 list that played on Saturday. Extrapolate that out to us and our next Flag list will look nothing like who starts in Rd 1 2025, unless there is a miraculous turn around which is what we all hope for

Look who they bring in around that time too. Luke Hodge and Charlie Cameron (pick 12) in 17/18, but lose Rockliff to FA. The next year they bring in Lachie Neale for a bunch of picks including pick 6.

You’ve come to the wrong place my friend for logic

 

[AnEmptyChair]

For real?

The overrating of Dan Houston on here jfc

Lol nah, he's being massively underrated. He's a top 3 general defender in the league and has an absolute wand of a right peg. We should be doing everything possible to get him

 

[DunderHead]

He hasn’t had the year he would have wanted but I think draft watchers say he’s been the best defender coming through for his age group for a long time. Runs, can kick and is good defensively. Can go forward too.

If he lasted to our second rounder I think we would have to take him.

“Houston’s motivation for moving to a Melbourne-based club is largely motivated by a Melbourne-based girlfriend”

Sounds weak.

 

[Flawed Genius]

So they're furious that Carlton haven't offered up their #11, but by all reports we've apparently offered up our future 1st?

Why would PA be furious with Carlton for not offering up their #11 when they have a guaranteed 2025 top 5 pick on the tab-- oh.

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

“Houston’s motivation for moving to a Melbourne-based club is largely motivated by a Melbourne-based girlfriend”

Sounds weak.

Could probably understand your statement if he was 18-23 years old but he is 27 turning 28 in the middle of next year, probably about the time most people start getting serious - and yes I get he signed the contract at Port but maybe he met her since, I’m not sure.

 

[iloveireland]

“We’ve been s*it for so long, let’s take a massive risk based on a whole lot of hope. That should work…”

We have a terribly history of being in overhyped experienced players who don’t contribute. Better bet a top 5 pick so we can “win faster”.

Houston notwithstanding, let's not forget the extremely funny Ivan Soldo situation where he moved to Port for greater opportunity, but his partner, a supposedly famous Instagram influencer, hated it so much she made public comments about how she hated it, moved to Dubai to get away from South Australia, then moved back to support Soldo but got so sick of SA again that he is now requesting a trade to Victoria. Oh and Jordon Sweet had his spot as well for some reason.

 

[Supa_Nova]

I think I agree... I think he might just be the best non key defender in the game. For 5 years with us, what is that actually worth? Probably pick 5. Port would be looking it from the angle of all the failed picks around pick 5 - paddy down, Elijah tsatsis.... Dylan Stephens... where we look at the bontempellis and sheezels around that pick. This one ain't a clear cut one. Plus throw in with Houston/Parker then LDU probably signs. Then we don't get a FA pick so go hard as nails at Balta- who sees parkr/ldu/Houston plus our young guns and goes... far out that might be a premiership team.

Is it risky? Yes. Gotta be in it to win it. And we for sure as shit haven't been in it for a long time.


Imagine if the polec gamble paid off and dusty and Kelly also came like they were supposed to? And gaff? Didn't work. We also didn't have a Harry sheezel...

 

[The Big O]

Regardless of the reason for leaving, surely it weakens Port's hand a bit that he wants out.

No one in their peak years would be silly enough to come to us.

We’re attractive to washed up end of career footballers.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Yeah sure fine. I don't doubt that, but there's nothing saying they have to hold our F1 if they get it for Houston.

I would imagine there's no shortage of suitors that want our 2025 R1. Why wouldn't Port take it and then try to flip it for another two picks in this year's draft? Cowards.

I imagine the list of teams willing to trade out of the first round of this years draft is very small.

Until we start being much more competitive, unfortunately,that’s the case you would imagine.
