List Mgmt. 2024 Trade Thread - No.2

Punting buddies that both like a dart.

He did say that

Talking to a close relative of an ex Freo player. Their most hated team - St Kilda.

How’s this morons comment in the Josh battle trade thread, I think he attends rub and tugs with damo and Diddy parties with Mitch Cleary

 

[SaintersUnite]

I actually hope we don’t tell Essendon anything, and then bid on Kako at 8.

Essendon will either fold and match the bid, moving our later round picks closer with extra players to choose from. Or they call our bluff and we get an elite small forward who could turn out to be another Wizard.

It’s a win win.

lol Freo's most hated team.

Fair Dinkum probably blame us for beating Carlton and making them try to win to get into the finals.

he most spineless, gutless, cultureless team in the league including the plastics and Fold Coast.

Gday guys, I come in peace etc

Now that you guys have 7+8, do you guys think 3+14 for 7+8 would be appealing at all?
I understand you guys need mids and probably a young KPP? 3 gets you a top mid, 14 gets you a KPP somewhere around there

I'll allow this

 

[Moorabbin Ghost]

Pick 8, upset opposition supporters, Damo’s head blowing up in anger, Choomah here posting.
Is this the best St Kilda day since September’66?

 

[Diehard Saint]

Surgeons,

The correct phrase is rocket surgeons.........

Oh don’t come with your smoke and shadows behind the windows stuff….

 

[Saints43]

Yes everyone happy but don't forget pick 8 was absolute minimum compensation for losing Battle.
Dangerous game flirting with the fcukwits at the AFL.

I don't think pick 8 for Battle was the minimum.
If a club offered us pick 8 for him in this trade period we would have bitten their hand off.

 

[hangdog]

Its just theorycrafting, I personally really like Travaglia and 7+8 would guarantee him for us, but at the same time I know the Eagles really need mids haha.
Just putting it out there

7&8 would be great for the Eagles. Could take Travaglia and Bo Allen at that range.

3&14 I'd hope the Saints would pick Draper and Lindsay or Hotton.

 

[hangdog]

Just proves again that our jumper can make any player an absolute Adonis. Would make Clayton Oliver look like Jack Steele

The only exception being Beau Maister. Even AI couldn't help that mug.

Would you have taken an end of first round (around 21 or 22)?

Of course it is the minimum for Battle. Best option would have been to keep him.

Anyway moving on we have pick 8 plus 900k a year x 6 to play with now.

Pre battle compo- shut up at Kilda! The draft is fine, stop your sooking

Post battle comp- this isn't fair at all, the draft isn't equal with all these concessions.

Bassat has played this beautifully! Not one do we get pick 8 from the AFL, we now have the media agreeing with Bassat but under the assumption it was their idea!

Check and mate!

Oh the loophole

Wow

Now you pipe up about a loophole

Serious question.

Now that we have the pick we wanted, do you still feel this is the case?
And specially on the $$$ we would’ve had to pay him?
I’m slightly torn but see this as an excellent opportunity, not often given, to get those midfielders we need.
Of course it hinges on not stuffing up the picks.

 

[hangdog]

Got a few of those bad boys in the fridge, currently throwing back an Aldi Erdinger though.





(Wait is this the "what is everyone drinking" thread..??)

I'm enjoying this (it's actually excellent)

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Loophole my arse.
And no-one exploited anything, Hawks paid Battle what it took to move him, and if they front ended it, its because they wanted to.

Age : Pay : 5Years + contract. No loophole.

 

[austinnn]

Honestly, I would have preferred he stayed.
Flint hard, never gets beaten one on one, great intercept mark, smart, good distributor, genuine swing man, superfit.

Worth a pick 8 in my eyes. It is fair compensation, but Hawthorn have got an absolute steal here. He is a big game player and will allow them to send Sicily forward (or himself)

I agree. How many games has he missed through injury or suspension? Not many. Stood tall while many crumbled. Versatile. Not a problem off field. Hawks have themselves a future leader, and they know it.

Hell yeah he's worth that salary, Hawks fans will be braying in a couple of years that they scammed us and got a club legend free of charge from the hapless Saints again.

Not the same as the Gresham exit, and if we didn't really need to fix list holes and if this wasn't the perfect draft to do that I'd have pushed back strongly on this. As it is, getting pick 8 makes it merey acceptable, nothing more. So to Cal Twomey and AFL media stooges saying how we just won the lottery and all the Saints fans whooping and laughing that we won the trade, you are not clear on just how good Battle has been for us. The only thing worth celebrating here is that we DIDN'T get screwed over like we usually do.

This is a genuine win-win so shut up Hawthorn and you're welcome.

 

[hangdog]

Were you born with hate syndrome?

Go easy on this post fellas. It's clearly a child.

 

[austinnn]

anything is possible with an injunction

Thought this was the Essendon board for a moment then I reread your post. Pretty grim at first glance.

I'd be tempted frankly

An article about a "loophole" that isn't actually a loophole.

Brain rockets.

 

[jumperfan]

Man the tears are just beautiful. Haven't seen a good league-wide melt like this for a while.

 

[austinnn]

I’m so **** a hoop today.
Just had a haircut, ate half a mud crab and cracked a beer
Ahhhhhh life is good

A mud crab sounds ****ing disgusting, sounds like an insult more than anything. I'm not a seafood fan in general so my opinion isn't relevant but need to get marketing onto thst name.

But that haircut sounds amazing. Enjoy.
