Mega Thread Delist/Trade/Draft Supermegaultrathread - Now Starts A Long Offseason

[dispute]

What about Garlett, who went to Melbourne for peanuts?

I doubt that would be a career defining trade for Simpson if we landed Garlett.

No point trading in any old player that is available, the best option may be to go to the National Draft.

Further to that we may not have been told what players our team has been talking to, not everything leaks to the media.

I'd keep my peanuts thanks

 

[Eastern Rangers]

And all this chat about Sinclair has apparently come to nought. Or, if we do a deal today, it'll be too late for us to do anything else on the back of it.

This is the disappointing aspect of this trade period. Sincs obviously isn't very highly regarded.

You wanted Garlett , with a host of off field problems and we have Hill / Lecras / Karpany / Newman ... bit surplus to our needs .

 

[larrikin]

Or we rate him more highly than what was on offer

If Giles is going to be traded for pick 53, I would prefer to keep Sinclair than get something around that mark.

 

[pantskyle]

We would only trade Sinclair for a top 30 pick. Any less would be pointless to us.

Why does it need to be "career-defining"?

It's an example of a handy player who went cheap.

No point trading in any old player that is available, the best option may be to go to the National Draft.

If that's the case, then why didn't we try harder to improve our draft position?

 

[Ian Dargie]

At that price, I'd certainly consider him. Karpany and Newman are basically unproven.

 

[Milenko]

Freo are trying to bundle up picks to move ahead of us in the first round draft order

 

[new breed]

At that price, I'd certainly consider him. Karpany and Newman are basically unproven.

But he takes a spot on the list , so we miss out on a third round draftee for Jeff Garlett with Off field problems ,... no thankyou

 

[Keys]

I could be wrong but I thought I saw it mentioned somewhere that garlett wanted to stay in Melbourne

 

[Ian Dargie]

But he takes a spot on the list , so we miss out on a third round draft on a young player for Jeff Garlett with Off field problems ,... no thankyou

Let's not overplay the 'off-field problems'. We kept Newman, despite him going to jail.

They need a KPP , there is a few in the top ten .

 

[Ian Dargie]

Maybe. But Melbourne are awful. Have we lost the ability to persuade players?

Ultimately, Garlett is one example of us apparently not being too keen to trade.

 

[pantskyle]

One of my recruiter mates who really liked Karpany before we drafted him asked me what we had done to him.

Has the tools, hopefully he learns to use them.

 

[Keys]

No, they're trying to get in to the top 10 of the draft which will mean they end up ahead of us but I doubt they are saying to themselves they specifically need to get ahead of west coast.

 

[joeyavalanche]

It doesn't have to be an absolute top-line midfielder. And, frankly, if we had gone the other route and improved our draft position, I'd have accepted that. It's a different course of action but would still have strengthened our hand at the draft.

I'd have considered offers for Masten, LeCras and Brown. Maybe package those guys (individually) with our second pick and see what comes back.

I wonder if we looked at Higgins as a free agent? I wonder what kind of deal was proposed for Conca?

And all this chat about Sinclair has apparently come to nought. Or, if we do a deal today, it'll be too late for us to do anything else on the back of it.

you realise you are not the actual west coast list manager right?
because you kind of strut around here like you are and everyone else's opinion is worthless.

you get this is just a footy forum and not the official AFL house right?

 

[larrikin]

It's actually an example if us not being too keen in Garlett.

 

[ziad]

I think most of his problems are in perth so he is best not being here

 

[Ian Dargie]

Of course. Someone asked me who else I would have considered trading.

Should I have given a standard dumbshit response that "I'm not the list manager"?

you get this is just a footy forum and not the official AFL house right?

You struggle.

Basil Zempilas on 6PR saying that we're going to make a trade today... Going to listen in, hopefully he's not bullshitting

Will be Kane Lucas if anyone

Can just see it now Kane Lucas to Wce for pick 32 and BF meltdown .

If its Lucas for our 3rd rounder I'll probably hold off on grabbing the pitchfork.
