List Mgmt. 2024 Trade Thread - No.2

[marcus1232]

Between FA and players needing to agree to trades the player empowerment is pretty heavily balanced for them.

You look at us sports players get traded without consent constantly. Now Bailey Smith says he wants geelong and the dogs just have to ****ing cop it.

Probably need to do something with that tbh.

Have been arguing this for years.

The clubs need some sort of control back and the only way to do that is to implement a system that allows them to trade players without consent.
Every club has boosters, coteries, housing for players to move to while they get settled.
This should be the price that is paid to play elite sports at a high level.

With Tassie coming in it would be the perfect time to start implementing it.
Offer 2 types of contracts.
Trade and No-Trade Clauses a No-trade clause comes with say a 20-25% percent penalty against it financial wise.

So lets say Phillipou wants a no-trade clause and he would sign for a million he is paid 750-800 a year with a no-trade clause.
Make the players pay to have there control.
It is too far one sided at the moment.

He’s lucky he’s been on an AFL list as long as he has. A genuine d grader with awful skills. Injuries ensured he got a game under Ratten but as we’ve improved the list it’s clear he’s nowhere near it.

He was an automatic selection at age 20 before a horrific leg break derailed his career. No one was complaining about his skills back then.

Yep a bit harsh on Paton, was matching up on the best small forwards in the game and holding his own if not beating them. Unfortunately was just never the same player after the leg break.

Jeepers, guess I'd kinda forgotten but just realised the trade period goes for ten frickin' days.

Higgins?

It’s not a thing. Clubs hate having an unhappy player hanging around in the dressing room being a bad influence. Regardless of the contract, if someone’s unhappy, the club will exit them.

Pretty much this.

North would love to trade down unless we thought FOS was a chance at generational and available through injury like wardlaw.

I was going to ask this board, what would you be willing to pay for north’s F1?

Would you do it for pick 9 and your second?

Also, im not saying this to start a fight or whatever, but the number of posts on LDU like it’s just a matter of when is astounding. Aside from the small matter of him categorically saying he’s staying at north, he will be the no 1 target of every Melbourne club. Ain’t happening sainters.

Agree on LDU, love him but no idea how we’d end up with him.

I doubt we’d trade out of this draft and into next one. We’re on record saying we want to hit the draft hard. Pushing to next year - which will be a draft of differing quality - doesn’t match that imo.

I might be in the minority here but if we are after Andrew Brayshaw, why chase Mccrae? I feel like we are going to over correct and have too many mids.

I think that due to Macrae being older and no guarantee that we get Bradshaw we are hedging our bets.

If we get Brayshaw, then we will have a strong midfield.

Is there a reason why Max signed for 8 years?

I would have thought 6 years was a more than enough, but have to back the club.
