According to To Cal on Gettable, it looks like its down to Carlton, Bulldogs, St Kilda and Collingwood for Houston. He has met with all 4 clubs.
Getting a deal done for him seems the biggest issue for us.

No doubt Richards would be part of it. What’s he worth, a late 2nd rounder?

That could be a piece.

 

[BEEG]

On Gettable, they mentioned that Fly is keen on stringer.

Did they go into any more details?

 

[Bramax]

I'd rather a Yowie over an Owie.

Gabi Garcia isn’t available.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Where’s the Owies talk coming from outside of him being OOC?

Is it just an idea on this board or have we met with him?

Manic's developed an obsession.

Abu Garcia is much better quality

Surely he doesn’t want to play for the Saints & crazy Bevo. Houston & Dale play the same role.

The blues are a rabble.

I’d love Houston. If we get him, we can send Jaicos back to the wing & IQ on the other wing.

We’re ****ed. Bring on 2026

We're too old. We're going to be shit for a decade. Bring on 2036.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

That’s not how you watch footy normally?

Strangely enough I like most of our players. So I leave out the fat, lazy parts.

 

[BEEG]

Why would Carlton not sign Owies.

Biggest need in that team is pace and small forwards.

Because they're stupid

 

[Jen2310]

Did they go into any more details?

Not really.
Only that not too many clubs are all that interested at this point. But we have some interest. We'll see what happens

Is that you TD?

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Yeah I know. I was merely explaining to the poster, it's not legitimate trade news

 

[Pistol Night]

Why would Carlton not sign Owies.

Pace and small forwards you say? “2 overpriced half backs please”

 

[sr36]

Why would Carlton not sign Owies.

Too many similar head types.

Suggestion was if we can get Pick 12 from GC as part of the Noble deal, and pair that up with F1 (noting that it may well get swallowed up by a McGuane bid), that could get it done

 

[Macca_]

Would anybody take a punt on Stephenson as a DFA?

Pick 12 & a F1 for Stringer?

Seriously? They're taking the piss.

Pick 12 and a future first for Stringer? Someone whose club is only willing to offer one year contract? What? Huh?

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Would anybody take a punt on Stephenson as a DFA?

You're drunk.

No.

Ive just reviewed every draft since 2005 when we drafted Pendelbury. I based it off 50 games played as an absolute minimum. The results are shocking.
2005, 9 in, 3 played over 50 games(33%)
2006, 10 in, 8 played over 50 games (80%)
2007, 6 in, 0 played over 50 games (0%)
2008, 11 in, 4 played over 50 games (34%)
2009, 8 in, 4 played over 50 games (50%)
2010, 14 in, 1 played over 50 games (7%)
2011, 10 in, 2 played over 50 games (20%)
2012, 13 in, 2 played over 50 games (20%)
2013, 8 in, 3 played over 50 games (37%)
2014, 10 in, 7 played over 50 games (70%)
2015, 10 in, 4 played over 50 games (40%)
2016, 12 in, 4 played over 50 games (33%)
2017, 7 in, 4 played over 50 games (43%)
2018, 9 in, 3 played over 50 games (33%)
2019, 4 in, 1 played over 50 games (25%)
2020, 10 in, 1 played over 50 games (10%)
2021, 8 in, 2 played over 50 games (25%)

The scary reading is how many never played 1 game!!! If i was running a business that strike rate would mean recruiters would be sacked.

You only get to play games if you're best 22. So even if you nail all your picks, only a small percentage of the 80+ drafted in a 10 year period is going to play over 50 games especially when a large part of the side is also made up of traded in best 22 players.

It's not about quantity, it's about quality and finding those stars through the draft that would be impossible to pry out/trade for. Maybe a better metric would be how many we've drafted that have played 150-200+ games to really see the quality.

That's too much. Pick 26 is about his worth

 

[manicpie]

You're drunk.

No.

That almost made me want to drink. Stephenson, my god

 

[BEEG]

I can see us playing Mcstay down back if we get Stringer.
