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

[Crazy Tails]

I think we'll be right in again next year. Just need a decent run with injuries

Agree. We did beat the new premiers twice this year even with our injury issues!

Imagine adding Houston Perryman de goey mihocek Mitchell to the team that played Melbourne in last round
Yes please

 

[Seedsfan]

You can't beat dumb
Look at his stats. Stated as elite in most of them.
Why post at all. It shows you have zero idea.
You are putting yourself up for ridicule.
Call Fly and complain FFS

He ranks as elite in ONE OUT OF SIX categories. Not sure where you went to school champ but we would normally consider most to be more than 50%. (Or more than half if you don’t know what a percentage is)

 

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

Your point? He is an average footballer, using your metrics to justify it we took way unders for Jack.

Trading for the sake of trading is futile. Target free agents to make an immediate impact while taking picks to the draft to develop the next gen

Unfortunately Ginni seemed to value commitment to the cause and professional standards at about a half eaten packet of chips.

 

[Mollythedolly]

Only 50% of a rookies contract is counted in the salary cap
So if the cap is tight which according to media reports it still is and Fly wants to bring in players not draft picks it does make a difference

It’s a flat $$ figure now. About $80k from memory.

Edit: what others said.

 

[Masked Magician]

Sure Houston might be a good half back, but I don't think he suits our run and gun, handball chain system.

 

[SchuPie]

I assumed Carlton were in the box seat to land Houston, unless there’s an indication he wants to play for us? We have nothing to offer ATM.

I think they are shooting themselves in the foot and maybe both Port + Houston are aggrieved

 

[SchuPie]

Huston is a no from me, we have already burnt a first round pick on a role player in Schultz we can’t afford to burn another 2.

Target free agents for immediate impact while taking picks to the draft never trade

I don’t think he’s a role player - full offensive weapon off hbf
Would be nice to have pick 12 but if it lands Houston

I still like to have our F1 available to trade into 2024

 

[Stronzatello]

Lachie Schultz elite? FMD I have heard it all now

This guy has no idea mate. Don’t listen to him. If he’s elite, what is Nick Daicos? Clueless clowns who just eat up all the garbage fed to them. Clarkson
destroyed Hawthorn’s list after their flag.

 

[Mollythedolly]

Wouldn't trying to get next years first into this draft be a better way to go. After watching the under 17s yesterday, that draft has hairs on it

Or maybe because this years draft is reportedly so deep, those kids haven’t had the exposure yet and they’ll all blossom in 2025.

 

[Go Woods]

I don’t get the people who want to rebuild, the 2025 flag is right there for the taking

Agree, but admittedly we'll be up against a pretty formidable Brions team from what we witnessed yesterday, although the Swans turned into the Swanettes and gave nothing back.
Bring on trade week and 2025.

Yep, absolutely

His kicks into the corridor would change your mind

 

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

Feel he has the talent to adapt to our system. Cost would appear to be the sticking point.

 

[Everybody Panic]

Sure Houston might be a good half back, but I don't think he suits our run and gun, handball chain system.

At times we got stuck on the half back flank this year and would turn the ball over on the wing. Houston is the guy who solves that problem and turns it into an attacking kick that bypasses the wing. I don't think we have the currency though. If North are offering a top 5 pick then Port wont look elsewhere.

 

[cfc19902010]

If he nominates us we should get it done

 

[Jen2310]

If he nominates us we should get it done

Lets see who he nominates
He clearly hasnt nominated anyone until his management feels which club can get a deal done. We'll see in the next couple weeks.

 

[Matt_352]

Same people bitching about picking up Houston will be celebrating like mad when we add number 17 to the cabinet next year. We are in our window, let's flipping go.

 

[jakson68]

Sure Houston might be a good half back, but I don't think he suits our run and gun, handball chain system.

With a foot as deadly as his, we would find a way for him to cut back on handballs.
We had Nick distributing from halfback, Houston could do similar.

 

[Mollythedolly]

When have we not got burnt by trading multiple first rounders?

Huston is a good player yet so was Tim Taranto and look how that backfired on Richmond.

Taranto not in the same discussion as Houston. Never been close to AA or rated an A grade season, even in his B&F years.

 

[nahnah]

so did barrett say it on the Sunday footy show? cant find a clip anywhere

Taranto's kicking is average - Houston's is anything but.

A player statistically elite in any area is considered elite. It’s not posters making that call, it’s the way it’s interpreted. Schultz is an elite pressure small forward. That’s just a fact.

 

[TakingThePies]

Hi lads. Not sure how much weight to put on the Houston rumour, but if true & given your limited draft hand, would Harvey Harrison possibly be put on trade table?

It's obvious we are going to improve our draft hand in the trade period. Pies are looking at Pick 12 in a Noble deal which would be on the table for Houston.

 

[TakingThePies]

Hahah, yeah no... lets not get a elite user and creator off half back..
