List Mgmt. 2024 Trade Thread - No.3

[Dr Spaceman]

That is a quality period from us. Glad we didn't fold with MaCrae, we aren't in a position to be giving away 2nd rounders for 30 year olds.

8 for Battle
Macrae for 45
Getting an extra pick in the 40's

We offered Tim a one year contract. We did not just dump him.
Hayes, honestly nice guy, but we need to get ruthless.
He cannot get on the park.

Pies said today they've got one spot available for an experienced player, and I think they mentioned Membrey, Hayes and Tomlinson as being candidates there.

Was interested to hear Hanners twice this week say he doesn't rate Caminiti as a forward, and thinks he's too unreliable. I feel like it's a bit of an early call, and that Hammer plays more like a FF than the others on our list and has physical presence which is good for Max.

Having missed out on Kemp, and if Membrey and Hayes are gone (along with Allison fwiw), I feel like we might be a tallish forward, a tallish back and definitely a small forward or two short across the squad (and ruckman)

Having McCoy join might mean we can get away with just the one mid this draft and one other type. Either that or do something with the PSD etc. I wouldn't mind Viking if he's there. Otherwise I'm still leaning towards a Smillie/Lindsay combo or something like that.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

I'll take Lindsay thanks

I’ll take Travags. And Lindsay next, then 15-16

Some serious copium on the Bulldogs trade thread.

On SM-S908E using BigFooty.com mobile app

 

[Hayes4PM]

Cornes can't help himself. Summarizing the Bulldogs trades he said they got Kennedy who is an upgrade on Macrae.

On age only.

Matt Kennedy has got 30 or more touches 5 times in his career. Jack Macrae averaged more than 30 disposals in 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022. Also had 40+ disposals 12 times in his career. Macrae might be 30 but even in the back end of his career I would prefer him to Kennedy, a bloke off to his 3rd club because he couldn't hold down a midfield spot at either of the first 2 clubs.

So much pegging talk today, I know what my plan is for the evening

Ask your wife if she'd mind calling you Sam for the occasion while you call her SOS. Tell her she doesn't need to know why.

 

[HeavenlySources]

I think 8 and 32 might get us two of 15, 16 and 21 (ideally the first two, if 21 is used I don't think we jump).

Im not so sure, I have a feeling GWS would part with all 3 on the night

Hanging out the washing?

Testing the square peg in a round hole theory the ol deviant

 

[akaifu]

Wonder what happens with Membrey/Paton/Hayes/Crouch

Membrey is gone, just not official

Crouch will retire

Not sure about Hayes and Paton

Ooh, using a square one, that's a good thought!

Macrae might be 30 but even in the back end of his career I would prefer him to Kennedy, a bloke off to his 3rd club because he couldn't hold down a midfield spot at either of the first 2 clubs.

This is a rare case where I prefer someone because they're older... he'll finish up at the right time for the draftee's to (hopefully) take over where as Kennedy would linger and likely become a list clogger.

 

[bergholt]

Membrey is gone, just not official

Crouch will retire

Not sure about Hayes and Paton

We currently have 3-4 usable picks and we should have almost enough senior list spots for that, once Membrey goes? So maybe Hayes and Paton both hang around.

 

[Captain Paddy]

Risky by Hawks, geezuz, F1, F2, F3 for Barrass at 29y.o & Injury prone.

Hawks my tip to have a massive regression.

Similar to us making finals the other year and then falling off this year.

 

[saintbill]

Sharman best replacement for Battle on our list imho!!!

To quote Shania he’d don’t impress me much as a forward.

Surprised/pleased SOS didn’t get more Carlton duds!!

Sharman is a natural forward. Repeat leads, great kick for goal.

His biggest problem is we keep moving him around. Needs to play forward every week and get some continuity.

Showed plenty this year as a forward. We are not exactly chock full of forward options either.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Hope we hang on to Crazy. Worth another year if we have a spot.
Plus I’d love to see him and Macrae play together.

[sauce_head]

Traditional end to trade “week”. Nothing nothing nothing then a flurry of withheld trades that could have gone through on day 2 and the big footy site sh its itself.


Everybody promises they won’t bother with trade week again, says it goes for too long, and will all front up again next year and act surprised as the exact same course of events plays out.

Ahhhh, that F it’s over!

 

[SaintWWodonga]

Now to get another pick in the 1st round...

 

[HeavenlySources]

Hawks my tip to have a massive regression.

agree, I think their Future 1st would be handy

 

[Username Unknown]

My supercoach forward line is going to look good with Macrae and Phillipou. Nas D3?

 

[Significant]

Im not so sure, I have a feeling GWS would part with all 3 on the night

Would be a worthwhile exercise working out how many list spots GWS have left and what picks they hold, to work out whether they would indeed need or use all of 15, 16 and 21. If they only have a need for two of them, then maybe they jump at 8 for Travaglia.

Have to take two imo.
Macrae is a short term fix.
This year is our best chance to get good mids.
I’d look at other positions after the top two picks.

 

[Verdun66]

No SOS interview?

They went for another coffee….

Surely we keep Hayes now we've lost Membrey and Campbell?

I was liking the idea until I discovered they gave their F1st to WC.

I would prefer key back and ruck depth over those two
