Mega Thread Delist/Trade/Draft Supermegaultrathread - Trade Period Edition

[Chris_6678]

What could make JK possibly want to go back to Carlton? Not like he's starved of opportunities, and comes from WA.

Yeah the HS said it will not be happening but its funny as this person keeps going about it.

I'd still be pretty keen to use 3 picks in the draft. Would be ideal if we could trade out a player to improve our 3rd pick though (which would be round 4 assuming we use our 3rd rounder on Yeo).

Ins:
Draft- pick 6, pick 24, pick 60 (again, would like to upgrade this via a trade if possible)
Trades- Yeo (42), Ellis (FA)
Upgrades- Bennell, Tunbridge, McGovern

Outs:
Embley, Nicoski, Selwood, Hams, Dick

meaning we would need 3 more outs...
Kerr - retirement
Newman - delist and use rookie pick on
Delist one of Dalziell, Morton, Wilson OR trade out a player to get a upgrade on our list pick (again ideal)... wouldn't oppose trading out rosa for a pick in the 30s.

Then we still have two picks in the RD + Newman.

Would be rather pleased with this outcome.

Starting to think/hope those rumours are nonsense. Fingers crossed his knee comes up from his op

Only place it's being reported is an unofficial Twitter account, with no source cited.

this is bigfooty, everything is gospel

 

[Double the Fist]

No idea what a conract is.

Its what you get when Conrad has a cataract.

Ellis --> DO NOT WANT.

What he said....

 

[Underdog]

Ellis has proven he can be int he best 3 on the ground. I'd say the players I listed, plus Morton have never been in the best 3 in an AFL game. If Ellis can stay injury free he'd be a handy addition

Cale Morton - Career Brownlow votes = 4
Xavier Ellis - Career Brownlow votes = 1

All votes for both players came in 2008.

so Cale is four times the player Xavier is?

Ellis had a pretty good GF in 2008 too.

Ellis had a pretty good GF in 2008 too.

That was 6 season ago...

Brownlow votes...really?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Yeah I know, I'm just saying ... actually I'm not sure what I'm saying.

For some reason we were comparing Ellis and Morton's 2008 seasons

 

[INSANE]

Brownlow votes...really?

As good as your "made it up in my head" votes.

 

[eagles rule]

Its what you get when Conrad has a cataract.

Surely it's when Conrad gets a contract ie Conract

 

[Underdog]

Brownlow votes...really?

You're more than welcome to provide evidence to support your claim...

 

[twce13]

so Cale is four times the player Xavier is?

Pfft by that logic GAJ (187) is 46.75 times the player Morton is, which we know is bs, ablett's at least 300 times the player morton is.

 

[bodazoka]

I understand it's a load of crap but geez... it still scares me to think about him leaving!! haha :/

Sure but the difference between Mortons best and his worst is huge and over his last three seasons at Melbourne it was generally poor form with few excuses. Ellis on the other hand has proven he can be an effective role player in a decent side over a number of years.

Assuming he wasn't on massive money Ellis would be a solid addiction to a squad that lacks depth.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Why? for some last hoorah?

If he's contemplating retirement and a chronic degenerative knee injury is the reason then the best thing he can do is retire. Better than him playing on, stringing a few games together before bowing out and not playing another game for us.

That's not really relevant to the post I was responding to though.

If he said Ellis was more consistent, it would be difficult to disagree. He's talking purely about their peak capabilities (top 3 on the field). I don't think there's evidence to support Ellis having been better in this regard let alone the implication he has been better by some margin.

 

[WCETRUTH]

Plenty agile and pretty quick. He's not a game breaker because he can't hit targets and for a half back flanker that's a criminal offense.

twice the engine and heart of Schofiled and Butler, hes a game changer

 

[WCETRUTH]

More opportunity to keep kicking it out on the full?

Ebo was a spud....first and only player to execute a one handed handball lying on his back!!

 

[Prem87]

I don't know why we are even bothering with Ellis, maybe Simpson knows more than we do??

 

[WCETRUTH]

Yeah I know, I'm just saying ... actually I'm not sure what I'm saying.

For some reason we were comparing Ellis and Morton's 2008 seasons

i think you guys are comparing one spud with another...end result ...a spud.

 

[WCETRUTH]

optimistically, just the fact we now have Simpson, we should all maybe put our handbrakes on re caining our various least favoured players....Simpson may get more out of some ...less from others. Spose we gotta give everyone one last chance...then end of 2014 cull the deadwood.

But then again.....

 

[QS]

Are we even going to get Ellis?
Looks like Simmo is spending more energy on assembling his team of destroyers (coaches).
