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

Holy shit, I had no idea. That was an awful decision.

Heartbreaking

Houston: he's good and would be pleased if we got him, but prefer we don't if the cost is two FRP. Need younger players in that case. Give up a player of similar age or older and I'm on board - maybe one FRP max. Ideally, any earlyish picks or young players we lose should be replaced by picks or young players.

Stringer: fits well as a player, especially as De Goey misses too many games. Lack of work rate, on field at least, is exaggerated. You'd think first year at a new club that he brings his best effort. Don't like him, but it makes sense, improving two areas of weakness: forward target and goal kicker, plus power mid

I cant remember who it was on Mike Sheehan's show on Fox years ago who highlighted this. We had greed on $$$ and terms. The committee then felt that it was too much money for Quinlan who they felt was getting on 26/27 and tried to reduce $$$. Quinlan said no on principle. He then went to Fitzroy where he played 189 games, kicked 576 goals and won a Brownlow. 12 months later we paid a fortune for Allan Edwards a CHF who had done his knee during the year and was NQR. He played 30 odd games for us over 5 years

In the days where all it took was a signature, rather than draft picks etc, that is just criminally inept. Same with Lockett. Wasn't it suggested that we didn't need him because we had Mark Richardson.

He is out of favour? Wow. I just presumed he must be injured.

I believe his season just stalled following the suspension because he hasn’t been injured.

Following the suspension he broke back in for a month, kicked 2 goals in that time, was then outside the seniors for 8 weeks, recalled for Rd 25, dropped for the QF and is still out. His VFL form doesn’t stand out for that July- August period, but I’m not going to pretend I was monitoring him.

He’s low possession high impact and maybe doesn’t get targeted much when Hogan and Greene are up and about. Worth a look if we want another attacking option, IMO.

Is he OOC

 

[Apex36]

Is he a good enough kick of the footy out of defense? Might be his weakness imo

It’s perfectly fine, and his elite marking and reading of the play far outweighs any issues with his kicking

 

[Scodog10]

Is he OOC

I doubt it, but neither is Stringer so it’d be about how hard we came for him.

 

[Roverjg]

Only a thought, but with all the talk of Stringer why hasn’t Brown’s name come up? He has all the physical traits of Stringer, none of the baggage and seems to be out of favour at the Giants. His season never got going again after he cleaned up McCartin and he would be a better fit for our list profile.

It is no good Brown having the physical attributes if he cannot find the ball. He had one good game this year with was against us in Round 1 when he kicked 5. He hasn't come close to those dizzying heights since (or before). Otherwise this year he has averaged 7 possessions a game despite 82% game time. 7 games without a goal. Career wise 42 games in 4 years for 42 goals with 8 possessions a game and 69 tackles

Really good player who should only get better. I hope we get him.

The Board over-ruled Matthews. They thought he had baggage

Certainly an elite mark. No arguments there. Down back is the last place you want to be turning the ball over though. Just suggesting it as a reson they haven't moved him down back and have gone with the likes of O'Donnell instead

That’s the $64k question with him. Is that who he is with OR the outlier? Or was he building and the suspension sucked the air out of his season? Nash took a while and he has time on his side. If I’m throwing $1.1m over two years at him or Stringer I think I’d rather the risk of Brown.

Did you think he kicked it

Lol, I posted just as he took the mark.

 

[Fat Jesus]

Suck shite Ginni. Oops wrong thread.

Had a few choice words for Ken Hinkley after the match as well

Ken said "I'm OK jack" to ginni a few times. Ginni must have said something to Ken before the game

 

[Jekyll and Hyde]

Right. Our draft picks are locked in with the hawks loss.
33, 48, 51.

 

[watt price tully]

Stringer is a terrific tackler in close, those who say he doesn’t tackle don’t watch the game.
He is however an awful chaser and runs forward of the footy a bit.

Agreed. He loses concentration (goes in & out of games) but I’d take him in a heartbeat if we could.

Was worse than we originally thought, but this was my main reason for wanting hawks to lose lol At least its set now.

Strange one. Quality person.

Those 2 trades last year turned out to be disasters.

 

[Jekyll and Hyde]

Agree. Let’s not do that ever again.

Think of it as a dickhead dump.
