List Mgmt. 2024 Trade Thread - No.2

[saintbill]

He doesn’t understand starting positions, he has poor hands in general play/stoppages, he has a poor tank, doesn’t man up, doesn’t run 2 ways and has a sub standard ball drop that would see him get holding the ball a lot…for a start. These star mids have been training/coached how to play in The midfield for 10 years of juniors. It’s not something that you can just start because you have size.

He’s a mark and kick, high pressure medium forward…and could be very good at it

Sounds like you are describing an absolute spud.

Owens a contested ball pig. Thats a damn good starting point. Playing in the midfield is not rocket science, given enough opportunity he would absolutely figure it out IMO.

Huge news.
Any interest in his mrs in an admin role at the club?

Good, smart move.

Essendon BF are convinced Kako does not get bid on... willing to field offers at the bid. Their list manager disagrees

Kako will get bid before Essendon’s pick 9. Listening to the tone of the media and the Essendon List Manager it seems (at this stage) to be a certainty.

UNLESS ….. a bidding club could be convinced not to bid for some mutually beneficial reason.

Wonder what the backup plan is. Preuss? Boyd? Reidy or Knobel? Pick 47 to Melb for TC?

So what is Plan B to land a ruckman?

Yep there has to be a backup option in mind

 

[triggering bro]

Wonder if Port will come back with an offer of Soldo for pick 100.

 

[okeydoke7]

There was a report from a journo after trade week opened that we hadn’t even done a medical yet, so it wasn’t expected to be done early.

Now obviously we have finally done it, and we aren’t happy. Great decision to then withdraw interest.

But it begs the question, what took us so damn long to get there?

We now scramble for plan B or go without for another year.

 

[St Neil]

I wonder if the Soldo trade just became too difficult for the club because PA were asking for way too much?

PA were instansigent and it was clear the deal was never going to happen?

Maybe club is prioritising the Macrae trade and the need to use pick 47.

Hopefully we have a back up plan to find another ruckman.

He is a very good contested ball winner though and can break a tackle.

I don't disagree with everything you've said, I think he's a forward, but I also he can play a pinch hitting role in the midfield.

Absolutely agree. Manic forward pressure, very good mark (size relative) and a decent set shot is exactly what we need up forward

Owens to ruck let’s goooooooo

I would be happy with McCrae at the Saints. He is a very good footballer, and we no longer have Seb to help out in the midfield, and I dont think we can rely on Brad to play many more games for us. Which leaves us with Jack Steele

and Windhaver, we are short on inside mids, so that should be considered when we go to this years draft.

?Now we have decided against Soldo, maybe we will hang onto Jack Hayes?

Yeah presumably we spent weeks to months convincing him to nominate us and now we've decided his knee is no good 4 days from the end of trade period.

Bit weird.

North offering F1 for 9.

But article says the issue would be the Dons are left with only P31.

Maybe hayes....already on our list

Makes sense even though Crazy is even more fragile, but sounds like we went cold on Soldo and Chelsea because we have a better option lined up.
