List Mgmt. Our Trade/FA, Suburban & Country Town Thread

Get Mccrae in to teach his brother how to play football. The standards and the professionalism.

Ones a premiership player, the other is a VFL plodder with potential

If he can't learn the standards & professionalism required from Pendles & Nick, how's his brother going to help?

If he can't learn the standards & professionalism required from Pendles & Nick, how's his brother going to help?

Agreed.

But I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt for a year rental of Jack.

Coming up with Nick would be hard, doesn’t seem like he fits in with that crew.

Last chance saloon

If Richards leaves, we should get Owies. If we can get him cheap, just do it

Mods can we get a vomit emoji added to the reacts for posts like these?

 

[Apex36]

According to Fly himself, we don't care about that

Yeah I’m pretty sure we value foot skills coming out of defence.

 

[sr36]

We don't need flankers, particularly hacks like Hind and Owies. Ask yourself, if you think these players would suit us, why is it they can't get games in clubs that are below us on the ladder? We need key position players, particularly a key forward since Kreuger and Ash Johnson have shown nothing at AFL level. We also need speed through the midfield.

We need to draft some talls for the future, but in the short term McStay and Checkers are fine. And I thought WHE was good as depth this year.

Who are our wingers and back flankers next year - we don't have enough?

Sidey was very good as a run with mid, but looked like his time on the wing was up. Noble is gone. We were already down to playing Bytel on a wing.

Sure Hind might not be the right option, but we need to add someone ready to go. I'd be leaving a couple of free SSP spots for train on runners to compete over - unless we trade someone in.

Our F1 would be more tempting then Geelongs 1st this year

Geelong have a salary cap? lol

 

[AmericanMustard]

Looking forward to Macrae being linked to a heap of clubs that isn’t us. Hopefully he can take his brother with him. 2 for 1 anyone?!

 

[Bramax]

Jack could be the one to protect Nick. Also could help out his brother to get better.

That’s what I thought. The Josh effect.

 

[JuniorB]

That’s what I thought. The Josh effect.

Get him to bring Rylee Sanders as the steak knives.

 

[manicpie]

Just let Geelong have everything and be done with it. Pack of campaigners

 

[NMBB]

Collingwood has always had a place for blokes with bad skinfolds and shit tatts

Ran into Chopper at Officeworks Fitzroy years ago - I was most respectful

 

[No SPIN]

The clubs inability to develop them to their strengths is a worse problem.

Unless you have a strike rate for all other Clubs as means of comparison, this is a meaningless comment.

 

[danielnajdek]

Seems like Carlton and Geelong don't have salary caps.

 

[Tadpole]

Seems like Carlton and Geelong don't have salary caps.

But they’re abundant in paper bags.

 

[jimmy35]

Why did Jack fall of the cliff at the Bullies? Always rated him.

 

[JLC]

I find it interesting that the only real player of note to turn down the advances of Geelong is Tdk who is at Carlton where Brian Cook is.

 

[Bramax]

Theyre too different types of players... Holmes can play multiple roles, Fins an inside slow mid.

I’ll rephrase my question.
Do you think Geelong would have developed Finn better than we have?
And similarly, do you think Max Holmes would have become an A grader had we drafted and developed him?

 

[Bramax]

Why did Jack fall of the cliff at the Bullies? Always rated him.

More that he was passed by a deep midfield group.

 

[Scodog10]

Just to further acknowledge Sr’s take on our needs I don’t know why we’d have any interest in Macrae. I’m not sure if those that are keen on him have been watching footy in 2024, but the two “weakest” midfields remaining in it looked by far the hottest teams on the weekend because they’re running game was so far ahead of the rest.

What made us the best in it last year was our ability to move the ball and our quality of flanker. All that Macrae adds is competition for Mitchell and dead cap space. Aside from Houston there aren’t many names being thrown around that will increase that flank profile so load up on draft picks, have a shy at the stumps for CJ or Walker, take a flier on a runner like Bice or the next Humphries and back in the likes of HDM and Parker.

 

[regpies]

Agree to some extent. But we should have won that Freo game and that Sydney game. Sure we won a few close ones but those two I felt should have gone our way. But yeah mostly injuries was a cause.

We lost the Freo game because of injuries. No one left on the bench and tried to close down the game. Didn’t work unfortunately but we had no choice.

Sydney was on the coaches, well up and decided to shut down too early. Cost us the game, had we kept playing as we were we prob wouldn’t win by 40.

 

[regpies]

No one would be talking about Rioli going there either if it wasn't for Jon Ralph trying to cheer lead multiple picks in Richmond's favour.

The proposed Ralph Richmond trades are laughable. Straight pick 6 for Rioli is what it should be. Same with his talk about 9 and 10 for Bolton. What a laugh. Straight swap for 9.

If they value Noble enough to offer 3yrs then pick 20 is fair because it’ll end up being pick 25.

 

[Roverjg]

Geelong have a salary cap? lol

They would only have 3 on decent coin. Holmes' new contract starts next season. Lot on yearly contracts.

If we were getting a punchable head, Fritsch would be better.

We would have the power to drop him from VFL and never hear of him or see that head again.
