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

[GoldenEagle]

Butler will be a free agent next year. Hopefully some victorian club will take him and we can get a 3rd round compo for him.

 

[9494]

I think we'll take our first three picks. Not 49. Which means delist two players correct? Newman and probably Morton. Really hope McInnes is signed up.

11: Acres
31: Robertson
43: Garlett/Jansen

Go team.

totally agree with the lot but go Garlett with the last pick... roll the dice.

As good as Sheed is, he is just one dimensional and is the safe pick where Acres can play a variety of roles and does look what we are after... taller mid that can run alll day and has got good skills...Just hope he is at our first pick and if not Sheed will do.

We do have Lycett and Sinclair yes. Lycett is a potential go home factor but and will have reasonable contracts from the Crows and Power waiting for him to consider whenever he comes out of contract.

Lycett may technically be a South Australian but he has no affiliation with Adelaide City. He's a country boy from Western South Australia and in fact grew up closer to Perth than Adelaide. He's also affirmed many times that he loves it at West Coast and wants to stay. Plus it's a no brainer that Coxy probably has only one year left and then Lycett will most probably take over as the #2 ruckman.

So essentially I really don't think there is a potential go home factor with Lycett

Edit: What's Butler's contract status? If it was up to me he'd be #1 on the blocking chop

Collingwood flew Acres to Melboune, put him up at the Crown and gave him a tour of the club etc. Pretty sure he won't be there at 11. Explains why Collingwood wouldn't give up pick 10.

If Sheed goes before 10 they know we'd take Acres so they've eliminated that risk. Personally I don't think he will be gone. I think Brisbane will take one of Kade Kolod/McCarthy or possibly Scharenberg (if HE slides) and I can't see Melbourne looking past one of Salem/Freeman if they're available.

How do you know that?

Rated by the match committee? We will pretty much have a whole new set of eyes in the box this year.

Fair point, but the new set of eyes aren't going to come in and decide to delist a contracted player who's played 64 games in four years.

 

[Euro Star]

How do you know that?

A close family connection of his is friends with a friend of mine. The old friend of a friend sounds far-fetched but I'm inclined to believe him.

 

[PRANKSTER666]

Apart from the fact there is like five plus players who are closer to being delisted.

We know you love him, is he dating your sister? I just dont get how you can continue to go into bat for this bloke, he has no idea. Or do you have a blind cat too?

 

[SloppyJoe]

For me, the first 2 delistings are clear but I don't know what to do with the other 1/2:

Newman (rookie)
Morton
Razzle/Ginnity/Butler/Brennan/Wilson

If true I reckon this is exactly why Collingwood didn't give up 10.

Not a twitter user myself but seem to recall someone posting yeo's twitter handle at it was something like yeo26, maybe that's a sign butler is going? Can't make the bloke change his twitter handle...

I would like Acres to be the pick but the mail is pretty strong that we like Dom Sheed the most.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Yeah, better sack Butler, can't have a player with a twitter handle that makes no sense. We should also tell Smith to stop presenting himself as a footballer on Twitter when he can't do it on the football field.

He wore 26 at Brisbane

I get why we are upgrading tunbridge and mcgovern but bennell

i'd be happy if we get either tbh.

My opinion of him is balanced.

Parting shot for @brisbanelions "go home 5" with ex-teammate labelling them "mummy's boys" on Twitter http://hsun.info/17Nbx7l

I think Smith's more interested in being able to tell people he's an AFL player than actually playing AFL

Yeah Rockliff and Handley are the ones that need to harden up.

How dare a kid want to play in their home town...

It's not like they had a choice but to join their rabble.

We shouldn't complain as we all felt the same when Judd left.

Depends on availability.

Closer to WA than Adelaide but Ceduna is still a long ****ing way from Perth!

Think he has a point.

It'll take me a while to warm up to Yeo as an Eagle.
