List Mgmt. 2024 Trade Thread - No.1

[botts]

We need to get picks 4 and 5, take those to the draftand trade for McCrae.
Keep Steele, but trade King for 2 firsts, split the top ten for two firsts.

Keep Steele, keep Jones and Clark.

Go to the draft with 5 first rounders.

Next year's midfield, Steele, McCrae, Clark, Phillipou, Jones and 4 or 5 frdp mids.

I haven't read all the posts today, but I will repeat my position fwiw:

We should keep Battle and make him Captain. I can't stress the second part of this hard enough. He and Wilkie are the only senior players we have who even close to leaders, and I think Wilkie is better as Vice Captain, he's too mild-mannered to be skipper. If he goes he goes but if he stays, we'd be crazy not to do this imo.

I would take a plane from Paris to Melbourne tomorrow to drive Jack Steele

to whoever wants to give us decent picks for him EXCEPT that if Crouch retires as looks likely and Ross retires or moves as I hope he will, Steele is the only established senior mid we will have. (Sincs is a valuable half back moonlighting as a mid, Zac Jones is too inconsistent, Dow has massive question marks over him.) So if we do that, we'd have to trade in a ready to go replacement, which defeats the purpose.

I like Steele, I think he's a good player but he's not a captain and his form has crashed since 2022. I think we've seen his best. He may still fetch us a first round pick plus change. It would look terrible from outside and be very risky, but I'd still do it all things considered.

Bringing in Oliver has the potential to be a turning point for us, either like Lovett or Schneider. If we get him plus a pick, we'd have to consider it.

Right now a handful of teams need to trade in experienced cultural pieces, Ross and Membrey would be worth next to nothing, but Gold Coast, North or even West Coast could do with someone who can help them harden up so it's worth investigating for a pick swap or extra 2nd rounder or something. Dreaming probably.

And no to trading Max, not yet anyway. He's young, he can see the way we play best. Back him to bend to fit us rather than wait for the opposite. If he doesn't adapt, at least we tried. His value is at an all-time low right now

 

[Saint Watto]

Ol Beany looks like he's waiting for a Metro Train......good luck with that one Beany.

 

[Joffaboy]

This is why I hang out here. Do you replace Max?

Nah, use Coops and Hammer, maybe with one of the five picks we pick up Jack Whitlock.

FMD trade King and Steele.

 

[OxSaint]

For all those wondering why Steele has lost his effectiveness. Let’s remember the game has changed over the past 2 years. Rule changes have sped the game up and reduce the impact of pure I side mids.

We have Steele, Crouch, Ross and Hunter who are all plodders. It is not a coincidence that Oliver, McRae, Tom Mitchell, Luke Parker

, Nat Fyfe and Wines are struggling or have struggled recently.

Unfortunately, due to the way the game is played, we have seen the best of Steele already.

No way. Our spine is already mediocre, we can't afford to lose Battle AND King. Ross also wants to move Caminiti to full back to replace Dougal in the long-term, which means we lose 3 key pillars of our best 22's talls within probably a couple of years depending on when the Caminiti move is made permanent.

More mids are nice, but there needs to be a balance otherwise its robbing and assassinating Peter to pay Paul

It's definitely a factor, but not the full reason. Most of it comes down to the injuries - he was in AA form early in the season before the knee knock derailed his season. Has been solid post-bye

Game has sped up, but the likes of Serong, Neale, Cripps, Dunkley have all survived. Serong is probably the closest comparison with size, shape, attributes etc. Need more mids so we can take some burden off him and allow him to be rested when needed

Nope.

Crouch gone (looking 99% likely)
Ross gone.
Jones near the end, injury prone.
Clark injury prone - or at least damn unlucky
Sincs - more elite HBF

Pou
Windy
NAS (potentially) up and comer mids.

Dow - who knows but not a saviour
Stocker -ditto

And you want to MOVE Steele on?

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Just a correction here for those saying for the Club to let Battle go

News Flash Noobs ..... Battle will decide if Battle wants to go .... the club have an offer on the table ..... Josh will choose if he goes or not .... not the Club .... unless of course the club withdraws the contract offer ... which they won't

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Steele looked pretty good last week with Clark in the side .... some inside contested ball winners in the side allows Steele to roam free .... he ain't a lost cause as yet

When people say let Battle go, they mean dont overpay him to stay and don't be desperate to keep him

Also fk me how cringe is the unironic use of the term 'noob' in 2024

 

[Sully111]

Ross isn't letting King go.

I would also like to see someone else besides Steele as captain.

I'd like to see Owens train full time as a mid. It should have happened ages ago.

 

[roos 10]

Just do what North Melbourne did, gamble and if it doesn't work out get compensated by the AFL for 3 or 4 years.

You do realize your posts first words came off like a pretentious w***er. I wouldn't be clutching my pearls lol

 

[saintbill]

It seems like the most St Kilda logic ever. The only way to get better is to nose dive the club.

The competition is the most even it's ever been, you are much better to stay close and try to make a run at while drafting and trading in bits. Port Adelaide are able to attract players to them because they always look around the mark.

Gambling is not the way forward. Gambling is how you send yourself broke.

I get what you are saying, but I am at the point where I am like "faark it", let's be reckless. If it blows up in our face so be it. We are already so beige. Stuck in no man's land right now.

Let's get Oliver, roll the dice. At least it would be interesting.

That's it, jump on the Oliver train. I am 100% all for it.
